As a network printer it works great, but...
I also have a problem with the printer creasing envelopes. It appears to shift the flap of the envelope slightly while feeding it through the fuser and the heat and pressure causes another crease about 1/8" offset from the original one.
I returned the first unit that I ordered because of a loud squeaking noise that developed while printing. The second unit also squeaks somewhat (Certainly more than my old mfc-8820D), but it doesn't sound like it's dragging a cat through the manual...

The Brother MFC 8460N creases envelopes
I have been unable to get this machine to stop creasing envelopes. It looks quite sloppy and affects the print in places. At times it is better than others but usually I get a big crease across the bottom left corner and a smaller crease across the return address.
I have spent a lot of time on the phone working with Brother technicians to correct the problem. They had me flip up the #1 toggles in the back of the machine, try using many different kinds of envelopes, try changing the...

Brother MFC-8460n Good for the price
We're running the Brother MFC-8460n on a Mac OSX network. It's printing is remarkably sharp and fast. Copying is great. The only complaint we have is that scanning is not high quality and cannot be shared over the network. There have been some intermittent problems with receiving FAXes; we prefer to receive faxes in our e-mail rather than print on the Brother. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time it does.

Super fast little guy
We have been using this printer for a little over a month now at work where we print an average of about 100 pages a day and this little guy chugs through it like it was nothing. The best part of it all is the speed. It is quick to warm up and prints 30ppm, which is a billion times faster than our previous Brother printer (or so it seems). The print quality is excellent but so are most laser printers so that's not really a stand-out. As mentioned by everyone else here, the envelopes do get a...

Engineering Flaw?
Recently, despite my recommendation of the Brother MFC-7820N, two of my clients decided to purchase the Brother MFC-8460N because of the faster print speed and legal-size scanning bed and, oh boy, what a mistake that was! Both customers have had almost identical problems; the unit doesn't recognize the paper tray intermittely and says 'no paper in tray' and the unit makes an annoying clicking sound just before and for several minutes after printing, copying or receiving a fax. That might be okay...

PC fax is difficult to setup
the envellope printing system appears to be defective as the envelope comes out sqiuzzed and crumpled

Great Multifunction Device
It was between this and the other brother mfc that performs duplex printing for my home office which two people use on a daily basis. We figured we didn't need the duplex (although we wanted it!), so we decided to save about 100.00 and go with this one.
I was very pleased with the construction, installation (XP) and documentation. Brother has a new customer in my organization. Coming from HP, I was acustomed to clunky software, and machines that wouldn't always perform as planned.

Works great, except for envelopes!
Thankfully, I don't print many envelopes! Other than that I really like this machine. The scanning is decent enough, printing and faxing is fast and copy quality is high. For the money I think it's a pretty good value. But if you do want to print envelopes with any frequency, stay away form this one!
Update - there is actually an adjustment you can make very easily in the back if you are having problems with envelopes. Look in the troubleshooting section of the manual. After I did thi...

Good machine so far...
I bought this machine specifically to print on envelopes and checks. It is the only laser all-in-one that has a multi-purpose tray at a good price. I was concerned that the snake paper path would not print well on envelopes, but there does not seem to be a unit with a nice straight-through paper path like my old HP 5Mp.
When I ran my first envelope, I was disappointed at the creases in it, so I visited the Brother web site and followed the extensive how-to. There are a couple of ...
