Title: Another "error 41" victim
Product review: We had a 5100C for approximately 2 1/2 years when it started giving the infamous Error 41 message described by others below. Apparently it is related to either a fatal print head problem or one of the motors burning out. We did like the price at the time and all the functions that came with the machine, but the slightly over two year product lifetime seems a very short time for how relatively infrequently we used it (it was our backup printer, mainly getting use as a fax, scanner, and copier).It is extremely disappointing that the 41 problem is so well known and Brother refuses to correct it once the product is out of warranty, which is right around the time 41 starts to happen to most owners. We replaced our 5100C with a Canon PIXMA 780, and will never buy another Brother product again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
