Great printer, SLOW PRINTING PROBLEM SOLVED

Great printer for home use. It was easy to set up and works well with my Mac and my wife's Windows 10 Surface Pro. FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH SUPER SLOW PRINTING PROBLEMS: I had this problem too when I first set it up on my wife's PC. The pages print out in about a minute and a half. I found that this was because Windows used a universal printer driver that seemed to convert all print jobs to JPEG image files before sending them to the printer. The printer sees the JPEG image and prints it very slowly, as you would expect a photo to take time (even though it's really just text). SOLUTION: Disconnect the printer from the computer. Go to the drivers on the Brother website (or I just googled "Brother MFCJ460DW Drivers" and that got me exactly where I needed it). Download and run the full set of drivers. During the installation process, the driver will detect your printer model and automatically configure it in Windows. After that, it takes about 10 seconds to print pages in the "General" print profile and about 5 seconds in the "Quick Print" profile. Every time you have a print dialog box open you can select "Printer Properties" and a new window will open where you can select your profile like General, Photo, Quick Print etc.

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
