Brother DCP-8060 review

Verdict:

The DCP-8060's print and copy quality is the best of the three multifunction devices here, but with no network port it's a little limited at this price. It's good, but if you can stretch your budget we recommend Dell's Multifunction Laser Printer 1815dn, which has a network port, fax modem and duplexer.
