A public copy of my comments in reaction to this long thread: http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/22817 Well, I didn't read all of this very long discussion, but quite enough to conclude I've been pretty thoroughly had. I'm going to make a low-effort attempt to contact Brother just to give them a chance to see what they have to say in their defense, but I've already spent way too much time fighting with this poorly designed and troublesome device. I did have the machine for quite a while, but I never did print that much with it. Fortunately, my primary goal was scanning, and I did do quite a bit of scanning on it. Nevertheless, I don't really feel like I got my money's worth out of it. Adding insult to injury, I only recently purchased more ink. Brother's insulting profit added to my injurious loss. One of my first printers about 25 years ago was a Brother daisy wheel printer. It was satisfactory, but considering my experiences with this expensive Brother MFC 5100C, I really can't imagine ever buying another Brother product. To satisfy me now, Brother would have to have a time machine to go back and avert all of my previous problems with this machine. I'm certainly not going to throw any more good money after the bad.
