Not worth the money; unreliable
Follow the advice of the others who purchased from Brother. Don't. It's not worth the money as you'll be replacing print heads and wasting time on the phone w/ "customer service." They'll replace it the first time only to have it continually happen. Buy HP. It's more expensive but more reliable.

Brother MFC5200C stay far far away
I have had my brother for about 2 years and 6 months ago I had the same problem with the print head as some others have had.It stopped printing magenta so I kept using it as most of what I copy and receive as faxes are black ink now the black is gone.Not worth the money I spent.Aside from this problem the machine has always been slow and I had to clean the heads way to often....

Won't Last Longer than Two Years
I've noticed a few positive reviews for the MFC5200C, and all I have to say is - we'll talk in a few months and see if you still feel that way.The machine was good for me for several reasons - multi-function, fair print quality (if you don't need photos), and moderate printing speed.However, after 21 months of low volume usage (5 print/copy per day), I got the dreaded "Machine Error 41".That is essentially the death dirge (the printer head needs replacing).The repair cost is $164, which when compared...

Cautionary Tale About the Brother MFC-5440CN
I should say up front that I'm reviewing the Brother MFC-5440CN, which is very close to the MFC5200c, but it's not quite the same model.However, there's enough overlap that my comments are still germane.I've been in the market for a multifunction scanner/FAX/copier/printer that can speak Ethernet on a heterogeneous LAN.My primary computer is an Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.3.5.So far I've tried the Hewlett Packard HP PSC 2510 and the Brother MFC-5440CN.Neither is worth owning.I bought the...

A Great Versatile Multi-Function
I'm writing this review after reading some of the highly negative ones shown here. I use the MFC-5200C in a busy home office primarily as a printer and fax machine. I have been extremely pleased in terms of performance, its ability to do a variety of things as well as the individual machines I've owned in the past, the easy to read manual, etc. I love that I have a document feed color copier for under $250 bucks! That alone makes this product well worth the money. I find it to print just as fast...
