Exceeds all expectations

Excellent value for the dollar, great linux support, fast and high-quality printing, network ready (ethernet); built-in print server.
This Brother monochrome laser printer is compact and feature-filled. It is incredibly easy to use, produces beautiful, crisp, clear copies, and handles paper perfectly. Time to first print is very fast (few seconds, even from "deep sleep" mode)! The built-in ethernet print server is excellent; worked perfectly the first time each of my Linux machines (Mint, Mandriva, MEPIS, Ubuntu) were connected to it. Linux drivers from Brother are a breeze to find on their web site and install and are available for all features in the printer and for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and for both RPM and DEB systems. (Outstanding Linux support! Go Brother!!!) Printer has lots of very useful configuration options available directly from the small back-lit LCD on the control panel, which is very easy to use. Goes into stand-by mode within a minute or so after printing, then into sleep, then deep-sleep modes within 3 minutes of printing to save power; NICE FEATURE! The scanner scans in full color, is very fast, and works flawlessly over my LAN. Highly recommend this product to others.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid printer
on June 13, 2012
Posted by: schnitzelbank
Bought the DCP-7065N two months ago. Replaced very old Brother MFC-8500 laser that just wore out. Also had two more ink jet Brother MFC-5440CN (one of which refused to recognize ink cartridges and self-diagnosed as needing service - thus not worth fixing). Agree with all favorable points mentioned by other reviewers. Improvements over the the MFC-8500 are the scanner glass for scanning bound pages, color scanning (although only b/w printing) and automatic duplex printing. Machine price good. Toner and Drum costs yet to be determined. The original partial toner printed/copied only 787 pages. If this was a special underfilled starter unit, rather than the standard yield TN-420 toner, it underperformed the advertised amount. Have since installed a TN-450 high yield cartridge and have ~700 pages printed and still going. The page counter feature is very good and helps measure cartridge performance. Does not have a percent of cartridge life remaining metric. A little noisy when printing and especially when duplex printing (has noisy mechanism that drags the one-side-printed page back into the printer to print the second side). Fan runs for a while after printing. Noticeable, but not prohibitively loud - printer is right near my ear. After a while printer is silent. On/off switch on the side is convenient improvement allowing easy turn off for power conservation over night. Only gripe is with scan driver. Brother provides a version of Paperport scanning software. Full Paperport 12 was already installed on my computer before the DCP so did not over-install the potentially conflicting Brother/paperport-lite version. Consequently, when Brother scans via Paperport 12 either from flat sheet glass or auto doc feeder, it does not stop. Have to manually push the "stop" button on the DCP front controls. Then get an error message on screen that must be acknowledged. The scans are fine - just extra effort required. Did call Brother support - which is the strongest point for Brother over others. Easy to get a live, understandable support agent as always have for all the Brother printers owned previously. In this case, the disappointing answer was that Brother only supports the version of Paperport bundled with the DCP and would not troubleshoot the apparent driver problem with the full Paperport 12. Not happy about this as I scan frequently and it is a constant annoyance. However, not a deal killer. Just a shame that good products can't be made to work together. Disagree with other reviewer's statement that envelope printing is tricky. Not so. Only issue is that printed envelope does not push fully out of the printer making one have to reach in the narrow print output opening to coax the envelope far enough to grasp it. There IS a toner save feature. Does take a little trial and error and patience with the instruction manual to learn the features. But the advertised features are there and they work. (No fax). Very importantly, the print quality is excellent.

Great Printer but noisy
on March 21, 2012

This printer is great but it has some flaws.
To highlight the good:
-It prints well
-It prints fast
-It is duplex
The Bad:
-After a month the fan became extremely noisy, not just when printing but for 15 minutes after it turns on and 15 minutes after it prints. This is very annoying
-The printer tells you the toner is empty when it still has hundreds of pages to go. Everytime you print it gives you an annoying pop up saying the toner is low, even though it is not.
-You cannot default the printer to print economy
-It prints well
-It prints fast
-It is duplex
The Bad:
-After a month the fan became extremely noisy, not just when printing but for 15 minutes after it turns on and 15 minutes after it prints. This is very annoying
-The printer tells you the toner is empty when it still has hundreds of pages to go. Everytime you print it gives you an annoying pop up saying the toner is low, even though it is not.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good product for the features and price

I've owned the product for almost 3 months now and am pretty pleased with it. If you're looking for a reasonably priced multi-function printer, this is one to seriously consider. I especially like the feature that allows multiple pages to be scanned/copied. I wish it had a 2-sided copy function. The print quality is very good and clear. I did have a problem with it recently, however, Brother support was very good and ended up sending me a new machine. Good customer service means a lot to me, and helps with my overall rating. I think the problem with my printer was a little unusual, so I am trusting that the new one I received will continue on through the one-year warranty period.

Good Printer

Bought the DCP-7065DN about 6 months ago or so. I bought it because I've had very good luck with Brother printers over the years and I needed one with scan capability.
It's been a good multi-function device. Printer works well although the toner cartridge that comes with it doesn't last long. I particularly like the scanner and associated software. I do wish it could handle 2-sided originals, but given the price, I'm good with it.
This model doesn't have the fax function, but I so rarely need to fax something that it's also not an issue for me.
Overall very good device. I'd recommend it.

all functions work well

Everything works well as advertised. Replacement ink is available at a good price. Have not had any problems with the unit. Only complaint would be that printer is right next to my seat and runs a little loud for 5-10 minutes before it goes to sleep mode.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it to death...

This is my 3rd Brother printer. I keep upgrading to get more features. This one has it all. Document loader, scanner, laser quality with cartridges that last forever. And the price was cheaper than I paid for on my last ink jet printer.
No more ink on my hands from filling those inkjet cartridges...
Brother service is wonderful too. Any problems just call and they will help you every step of the way.
Great printer...I print all my color shots at Costco now for 13 cents. Much better way of printing at home.
