RSS FeedsBrother MFC-465CN review
Verdict:
This is the only wired network printer in this Labs and, with its built-in fax, would suit a small or home office. Its main failing is its slow correspondence-quality document printing. It is also slow in draft mode, and draft quality is mediocre. Lexmark's X6570 has a fax and wireless networking, and is a better office MFP.
