Summary: won't print with any toner empty warnings (4 cartridges)
Comment: The printer freezes if any of the 4 toner cartridges are either empty or beyond their rated life (even if with toner). Free tech support (LONG hold, then not much help, and hoops to jump through to leave comments for consideration) says nothing can be done. I print almost all B&W, but on Mac OS X I couldn't easily set a default B&W so some were printing as colour. The cost and hassle isn't worth it. There is no way of continuing to print (power off/on will lose some print jobs, and will allow a true B&W or two to come out), no easy way to reset the toner flags by hand (I tried the tape over the windows trick from the web, tech support suggested nothing though), and no joy. If you are doing a LOT of colour printing, or have a large budget, this may be for you. I suspect it will be a false economy though.

Summary: Great, with drawbacks
Comment: I purchased a Brother HL-4070cdw to use wirelessly in a mixed apple and pc environment. I am a very experienced user.
The image quality and color accuracy are quite good. I like the print cartridges and the paper tray because I do not have to refill them that offen. However, I have experieced unacceptable installation problems, network problems and the annoying habit of my wirelessly connected PC to reboot when I issue a print command to the Brother HL-4070cdw and only to the Brother HL-4070cdw.
1. At first, I connected my PC by USB. When I issued a print command, the PC rebooted. I called support. They told me that the problem was my electrical circuit was overloaded. I connected my PC into its very own receptecle. The monitor and external hard drive were in another receptecle and I moved the printer twenty feet away to the other side of the office. The first four times I printed everything was fine. Since then, on an intermitent basis, the print command causes a reboot. It does not happen with any other printer. The office is only a few years old and there is no other demand on the circuit. The support organization was unhelpful and had no script to handle the problem so they became agitated. I was far from pleased.
2. I have never been able to connect by Apple wirelessly. Everytime I think I have it figured out, it fails. I finally connected with a USB cable. It never reboots even though I have five or six accessories on the same circuit. It may be that I do not understand the instructions, so I asked the professional that comes into the office to figure it out. He gave up as well. He billed me for four hours work, however.
Life is not perfect. I usually use a different printer from the PC. Once in a while I forget and it works and I give a little prayer of thanks. Often, the PC reboots and I become frustrated again as I did about fifteen minutes ago. One thing, altho the PC goes into reboot, the job gets printed.

Summary: Good value
Comment: Set up was easy and, this model is a good value. The printer jams when duplex-printing on heavier weight paper. Printing on one side works okay.

Comment: Brother HL-4070cdw Color Laser Printer with Built-In Duplex Printing and Wireless Interface
Great price and service from Amazon - printer delivered on time as promised, however, the same cannot be said of Brother's customer support. Wireless interface would not install. Called Brother customer support, on hold for 45 minutes waiting for a representative to answer. He spent 45 minutes on the phone with me and was unable to assist with wirless LAN configuration. He arranged for a higher level of tech support to call me back after 5:30pm CST. They did not call me as arranged. I called Brother customer support back and waited another 45 minutes before they answered, only to be told that the tech support office that was supposed to call closed for business at 5:00pm. Pathetic service. I am told that technicians who can assist with this problem are available only during business hours, when people are working. They should offer tech support after regular business hours. I appears that I have made a mistake by switching from HP to Brother. I have a new printer that doesn't work, purchased from a company with customer support that cannot fix the problem.

Summary: Great Printer
Comment: Can you fall in love with a printer? I love this printer, it's not perfect but for the price it's the best one that I've had, and I've used a bunch. I've been in the graphics/print business for 20 years and except for the HP laserjets of the early 90's this is the best (wouldn't touch an HP now). I don't use it for finished art but it's great for every day uses-- what do you expect for under $400?
Pros:
Easy to use, works flawlessly with my Mac network
Prints everything I've thrown at it without memory upgrade
Even prints small envelopes
Wireless setup was easy once you figure it out
Interface is easy (this from a Mac user)
Toner cartridges aren't outrageously expensive
Cons:
Color is not great
Curling paper is not an issue for me since I send everything to my printer (or independent quick printer) for finished product. (the new $100,000 Xerox printers are amazing and I think I'll let someone else pay for that!)
Overall: Great Value. I would purchase again.
