M1522nf a waste of money

Printer failed to initialized one month after the the one-year warranty period. When it was working, it was slow to print, and required frequent power-cycling for the PCs to see it. Installation is not easy for W7 and MACs. Buyers beware and not be fooled by what the printer can do. All those functions useless if it won't initialize successfully after 13 months. Get Brother's 7860DW instead. Easy to install, prints fast, dual-side printing automatic.
