Brother DCP-115CN - is it any good

Holeypockets

Does anyone have one of these?

Is it any good?

I already know it's a little slow compared to other printers - which doesn't bother me and I am not concerned with consumable costs (as I won't be paying for them).

What I am concerned about is reliability, life expectancy and whether or not it has an internal counter that makes it give up once it reaches 'X' amount of prints (like the Epson CX6600 this will replace).

Any help is much appreciated.

bump??? what the hell..... well anyway it seems i need to get down with the kids more....


i have a DCP-310 the same but with networking.

its a very good little printer and got me throught year 3 at uni and i only changed the ink once, so far no trouble with it at all, the ink is dirt cheap (£15 for a black 500 page ink cartridge isnt bad...)

scanner is also very good but photos look a bit grainy but that might be cos im too lazy to mess around with the settings.

also for speed its dosnt seem that slow... althought my previous printer was an i250 canon......(very old and small)

The 115cn is networked also. Thanks for the info, that's enough for me. I just need to find the cheapest source now

yeah i work for staples :-)

oh the shame..... the 115 without networking is £74.99 at the moment.

althought if you "know" someone who works at staples there is some share our ten percent discount thing going on somewhere.... althought might have stopped now.

i managed to get my 310CN for £50...... all because of opened box lol.

we did have a month or so where every brother printer went half price for a week at a time..... which was nice! even the high end multi feed fax was down to £100 lol.
