Easy setup, fast printing, and simple to use
353870
The setup was so easy, I actualy spoke aloud "So that's it?" I poked in the cables, dropped in about half a pack of paper, slapped in the toner pod, and I had this printer ready to go on my Windows 10 desktop within minutes of opening the box. I didn't use the CD rom and didn't read the instructions; Its just idiot proof.
I was surprised to find a fold-out panel on the front of the printer that lets me push in enough paper for a special job, so I can use different paper than the usual type resting in the big bottom tray. I'll spend hours trying to invent a reason to use that.
I don't find the printer loud or difficult to use, but with a 16-foot cable (not included) I can place the printer far enough away from my own desk so I don't have to care how loud it might get on big jobs.
I used to have much smaller folding or collapsing printers that left the paper tray exposed and often sticking out in the way. This printer neatly stores paper flat inside its bottom, but I can easily reach a finger in to touch the stack (where a sighted person might simply peek inside). It appears to consume the same space as the smaller printer in its extended position, so opting for smaller seems pointless.
I find it useful that the printer makes a snick noise when it toggles on/off. It could be on and very quiet, so this feature helps me be sure I have properly shut it down.
Overall, I'm glad I ordered it.

Set up was fairly easy, except for the PC Fax.  Haven't figured that out as yet, but I can't say that I'm knowledgeable in this aspect either.  Very fast printing. I do like this MFC8910DW and it works well for my small office.

Since I'm not a techie, I was looking for a printer that was easy to set up and easy to use.  I purchased the MFC825DW from Amazon based on a friend's recommendation.  The printer arrived within days of my purchase and I was pleasantly surprised that it was as simple to use and set up as was advertised.  I couldn't be more happy with it!

I've had this printer for about 1.5 months now, and have not had any problems.  Set up was very easy for me, and I like the wireless connection.  I had a few paper jams at the beginning, but I think they were due to my error-I didn't slide the paper holder tab over far enough to keep the paper from sliding around the feeder.  Color isn't photo quality, but its good enough for my purposes of flyers and documents.  Prints very fast for me-takes seconds to go from the computer to printed.  Not sure why others are having problems.  Good choice for someone needing a printer for occasional print jobs.

This all-in-one works well in my home office.  It was pretty easy to set up right out of the box and it wasn't long until I was able to print test documents.  We don't really print much at home, but we do tend to scan a lot of things, so the tray that feeds multiple pages for scanning is a very nice feature.  The wireless connectivity is great and allows me to print from my tablet or my phone, which is much better than my old printer where I had to email whatever I wanted to print to myself and then access it from a desktop attached by wire to the printer.  I guess it is just nice to finally join the 21st century in printing.

Bought this printer through Amazon this week and just hooked it up today.  Setup was fast and easy on my Windows 7 machine using a CAT6 cable hooked up through a router.

Let me clear up a few misconceptions I had after reading reviews here on Amazon.

First:  While it is true that the included CD does not work with Windows 7,  this was not a problem.  I simply went to "Add Printer" where it listed out the CP2025dn both as an IP address and a URL (Win7 had obviously found the printer on its own).  I selected the IP address and finished printer setup...fast and easy.

Second:  I read a few complaints about photo quality on here.  I have not used this printer to print on photo paper (I have another printer specifically to do that),  but I have printed out Word documents with photographs included.  Those high quality photos embedded in Word, printed out on standard printer paper, came out AWESOME!  You will not be disappointed.

Third: While not silent, this printer is pretty quiet.  At idle, very little noise and it actually does go silent after idling for about a minute.  When printing, you can hear it but it is not irritating at all and is still not very loud.  Our old HP inkjet printer gives me a headache after printing just a few pages, but I can already see I will not have this problem with the CP2025dn.

I would absolutely buy this printer again.  I'm very happy with the purchase.

I have had this printer for about 2 weeks now and am very pleased with it.  I have had Brother ink jet multifunction models in the past and was pleased with them as well.  The printer is very easy to set up using the included suite disk. Setup guide is very clear and straight forward to use. Printer response time when giving the "print command" is very quick and printing is very quick as well.  I have had problems getting the printer to connect by wireless to my network.  I need to experiment some as this may be more a problem of the room location in relation to my router which unfortunately could not be centrally located.  I happen to have a cat 5 cable in this room so the printer is connected directly to my wireless network so the end result is the same.  I am able to print wirelessly from my laptop, android phone and iPad as well as wirelessly scan to my computer using the settings on the printer and from the Brother Control Center software on my laptop.  Scan quality and speed is very good.

I purchased this to create my own graphics for package inserts and gift wrapping embellishments for my jewelry business.  It arrived quickly after placing my order and was easy to remove from the box.  Setup was a breeze and only took about 30 minutes start to finish.  I added it to my wireless network in one try, so now I can print from anywhere in the house.  The color and resolution of my graphics is perfect and the ink tanks seem to last pretty well.

One drawback:  Canon has added a Big Brother program that allows them to see if you've installed compatible ink tanks rather than genuine Canon inks.  There are some add-on features which won't work if you don't use their ink, and I suspect the warranty would be void as well.  I don't like being monitored by Canon, but I like the add-ons and the warranty so I'll play ball like a good sheeple.  After all, we have to pick our battles, don't we.

Out of the box the setup of this printer is fairly self explanatory. My only critique on the quick setup instructions is that the error for removing the "cap" on the ink cartridges is the going the wrong way.  I chose to setup the printer via the wireless from the control panel and it was a breeze.  Even entering in the pass phase was not too painful given the limited touch keypad.  Once that was done, my windows 7 pc detected it and installed with now issues.  Print and scan quality is good.  About what I would expect for an all in one.  Print speed is also quite speedy.
My only other criticism is setting up the extra feature like epson connect and web print are not as easy as they could be.  Those feature are what will slow you down, as you have to register for epsonconnect to get the printer a long and useless email address, which you will then have to log into their portal and change to something a little more meaningful and easy to remember.  However once that was done, those features worked well too.

I have seen no evidence of streaking or printer issues listed in one of the previous reviews.

Aboout five minutes' time to unbox and set up and start using the printer. Easy to load the ink cartridges. I use a USB cable -- I had an extra one, it didn't come with the printer -- instead of wireless because our wireless devices are overpowering our system at home. Lightweight printer and folds down to a cpmpact size. It's bigger than a mobile printer but not way bigger. i need this for special projects and I just stored it on a shelf where I can grab it and start printing as needed. Very happy wih it.

I am pleased with the ease of set up, how well the printer works, and how fast it prints. I haven't had any issues with it.

This printer was very easy to set-up. The touchscreen color screen makes it a breeze to set-up. I bought two as gifts largely because of it's cloud support to work with Chromebooks and other devices without installing any software. Google Cloud Print (GCP) seems to work well. I also set-up Scan to Cloud. The configuration allows multiple different targets for where the Scan to Cloud sends your scan including Google Drive folders and to email. When scanning and selecting Scan to Cloud, the touch screen offers you a choice of locations that were previously configured. I can't speak to post initial use issues yet as it was just recently installed. I really wish Epson made a laser printer version of this device as the other aspects of the device seem to work great!

This printer arrived within 1 day of ordering using my Prime account.  I took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it walked me through the setup automatically!  Using Windows 10, the computer was recognized right away without me having to use the setup CD (included in the package).  Just follow the instructions on the small printer screen on the unit and everything should work fine.  The process will require you to download a driver via the internet which was very easy and pain free.  The printer quickly identified my Wi-Fi network and the linkage to my Windows 10 computer was automatic.  The longest part of the setup process was the installation of the ink tanks and the printer self-aligning the print heads!  I could not have hoped for an easier installation.

This was the most simple set up I have ever encountered.  It was done in a matter of minutes and the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow.  I've had no issue with printing at all.

This printer performed perfectly with relatively simple setup on my wireless network, and with a variety of different devices  an iPhone 5, HP Windows 8 notebook, and MacBook Pro.

Although it was not a difficult setup, it was a time consuming one the printer takes about thirty minutes to set itself up, and the software install on my Windows laptop took a good forty minutes.  It should be noted, though, that I was able to print text to the printer over my wifi network before installing the enclosed software.

The software includes a suite of document and photo scanning options, although it does seem to require a wired connection via usb to handle scanning.  I have not yet tried to do any OCR with this software, but there is always google docs for that in a pinch (does anyone still use OCR?).

I should also note that Mac OSX 10.5.8 does NOT work with this printer I realize in the description it specifies 10.6 and up, well, thats correct.  I did have an old Macbook with 10.5.8 installed, and although it saw the printer on the network, it only printed random ASCII regardless of what was sent to it.

The photo printing is beautiful, but it does require paper that is not included (no paper is included with this package).  This can also scan a CD and reproduce the label for that CD  pretty neat.  It has a printing well for a CD or DVD for diect label printing.  I have not yet tried this feature, but will update my review when I do.

It can also print from an external USB drive.

So in summary, fairly simple but lengthy setup, configures across WiFi easily, and works with a variety of devices.  The printer also feeds and prints from the front, so it can be placed flush against a wall.  All in all, a very nice printer for the casual user.  If I discover any difficulties with this (including a too short ink cartridge capacity), I will update my review.
