Thanks, Jaygyver. I'm still on OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), too, so it sounds like I should be up-to-date with my Java software. I'll revisit the Brother Mac firmware site and give the update a go.

Silly Guy, it DOES print envelopes ! On the front just below the name "brother" there is a flap, about 12" wide by 1" tall with a recessed handle. Pull down on that cut out / handle and the flap pulls open. The grey tabs inside on the left & right, slide in or outward to act as guides for your envelopes or any other sheet stock you wish to print on. On the very back of the copier is another flap with a more pronounced handle. Pull that flap open / down as well and when you install your envelope in the front it will print and come out the back. Got it ?

I have the Brother MFC J475 DW printer, not the MFC J875. This ink is comparable in quality to Brother ink and it works very well with the model that I have. In addition to countless documents, I have printed several hundred full-color flyers in the last several months (around a year) and have yet to finish a set of these bottles of ink. I've only managed to empty a single bottle so far and it was black ink (of which 3 bottles are included). I cannot vouch for the quality of photographs printed on photo paper as I have not done that with this ink. The only problem is a very minor one: occasionally, the screen will display that it can't detect a particular color of ink (indicating that the cartridge might be empty. I remove the (translucent) cartridges ((that I bought from this seller) and usually see that it's about 1/3 full) and put them back in again. Then I press "1" to indicate that I have refilled it/them. If it is actually very low, I refill it. Problem solved. I'm not sure if it's the printer or the ink, but it's easy to solve, anyway. Although I don't have the same model printer as you do, I hope this was helpful.

of the last 3 I bought ........I got over 2700 copies on the first 2 and have over 2200 on the 3d and still going strong. Note I am using a Brother MFC-7840W. Settings are: 600 dpi, toner save OFF, Print setting: office document. I had the newer Brother MFC-7860W and can tell you that I was only getting slightly over 1500 copies with these same toners.

Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

I use the printer with 110 weight card stock and its o.k. as long as you feed it through one sheet at a time. Its slow and sometimes it takes a bit to get the printer to grab the sheet. Its the same for labels -very slow, one at a time. The printing itself is pretty good. We had a Brother printer before and it seemed more heavy duty. It printed envelopes, labels and card stock by the stack. This one has a lot less "oomph"

I've had no issues with it, yes this is the latest I know of. fyi only issue I don't care for as I have had others and this is not been a friendly as those, is the paper tray doesn't hold a lot and is a pain to put in at times, other that that I like it. no question Samsung make great printers and this wifi version is nice.

Indeed it does, which is a big reason that I chose this printer over a printer of another well-known manufacturer. I print odd-sized envelopes frequently, not just standard #10 business envelopes, and the printer handles them like a champ. By the way, envelopes are fed in from the top paper tray, as are any other nonstandard papers, such as card stock and photo paper.

i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this printer. i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this... » Read More i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this printer. « Show Less

It's fantastic at printing envelopes, I have never owned a printer that did envelopes better. For best results, follow the instructions in the manual and use the manual feed tray. It hardly bends the envelope at all while printing it, which can be very helpful.

I just ordered one of these (for $87 from Geeks) - a refurb. I come from a copier repair background and would offer some suggestions concerning its jamming issues. As mentioned above - clean the feed roller with alcohol. Make sure you thourghly fan the paper before loading. If you still have jamming - turn the stack of paper over. Paper DOES have different "grain" front to back and one side will allow a better "grip" then the other. I wouldn't believe this if it weren't for my background. It sounds like this machine is more picky than many with it's feed system - but so are some copiers - and there ARE work-arounds. So I'll take my chances with it, and post a review later...

PS I too have had problems with printing the envelopes. They are heavy paper but if I lightly hold down the flap as it goes into the printer, that helps it accept it but if it doesn't, it will jam your printer.

I think it depens on the printer you have. I have a Brothers multifunction MFC J4510DW ans it shows when you are low on ink,low on paper also. You should be happy with these cartridges. I have found no problems

Fairly well. You can put up to three at a time into the manual feed slot (not shown in the Amazon product photo, it's right above the normal paper tray), then just print as normal and the printer will automatically pull the envelopes from the manual feed slot. I wish it were able to hold more than three envelopes at a time, but you could always take your 8.5x11" paper out and put envelopes in for larger jobs.

Envelopes are not a problem. Well, almost. I removed the paper from the carrier and inserted the envelope(s). 1 or 2 are no problem but more than that it will likely feed multiples at one time. It also will not work well with any media that doesn't take sharp bending well. For example I tried printing the front of CD envelopes. They got hung up on the cut-out and wouldn't feed. It would have been better with a manual feed without the sharp bend but that would increase the footprint.

The LC101 package states that page yield information can be obtained from: www.brother.com/pageyield. My printer, the MFC-J870DW, is not listed on that link. You can contact Brother support if you still can't find the information for your printer.

I have A Brother HL-4570CDW Color Laser Printer. The printer has an adjustment for printing envelopes. With the adjustments the envelopes print fine, no problem.
