Title: Uses insane amount of ink
Review: This is a nice printer - with one deal-breaker: It uses an insane amount of ink to clean itself!! I print color copies very infrequently as I also have an HP Laser printer on the same network. I use the HP for 99% of my printing (and I don't even use the HP that often!) The Brother MFC 5440 cn cleans itself so often that it uses up cartridges with which I have only made 6 or fewer color prints with!! To add insult to injury, if ONE of the three color cartridges is empty, it won't print a black-and-white page EVEN IF THE BLACK IS FULL!! If I had to do it all over again, I'd avoid Brother printers. They are just too thirsty. Oh, one last thing. I thought if I turned the power off to stop the cleaning (so much for the fax function), that would stop the cleaning and therefore save the ink. WRONG! One has to completely UNPLUG the printer in order to stop the automatic cleaning cycles!!!
