I first had hands-on with this printer back in August and recommended it for the back-to-school crowd.  Now, after using it since that time, I am even more a fan of this little wonder.  That is why I am recommending the MFC-J825DW as a wonderful holiday (and any time) choice for homes, dorms and

The MFC-J825DW offers plenty of features for the money. It's good to see duplex support, an automatic document feeder and direct CD/DVD printing at this price.

This printer was indeed purchased at a bargain price BUT the tray on which CDs are mounted for printing was not with the rest of the components. This was one of the reasons I even considered buying it.

Needs software update for Lion and AirPrint

Being so used to that noise of the printer waking up and beginning to print, the first time I tried this printer, I was in the other room on my laptop (cause my wife was on her computer next to the printer). When I didn't hear anything printing, I hit print again.

The Brother MFC-J825W, at $229, represents the higher end of home office multifunction inkjet printers.
