Title: Agony for Windows XP users
Review: This is my second Brother MFC. I was reasonably happy with it when I was using windows 98. But I recently bought a new computer with windows XP, and trying to get this thing to work properly with XP has been a nightmare. After hours of download tutorials and uninstalling and reinstalling drivers from the Brother web site, it still does not work properly. Under no circumstances should you put the driver CD that comes with the unit in your CD drive if you are using XP. Beware also: The "updated" printer + scanner drive on the Brother web site does not work properly. A separate printer-only driver does work, but then you don't have all of the fancy scanning and character recognition stuff.For those who are still using windows 98, this is probably a reasonbly good unit if you want a combined laser printer/scanner/fax machine.
Is the review positive or negative?
