vcf-midatlantic Digest, Vol 25, Issue 7

[Jeffrey Golas]

I literally Just got the Brother MFC-3770cdw. Prints fine so far, and scanner works fairly fast. Also have it hooked up scanning to a nas. It did seem to take a while printing via airprint, but I had a power outage that I think goofed up something on my wifi, so not sure if it was the printer or my wifi.

Downside is the firmware looks like it was written by a first year comp sci student, very crude compared to an HP,  but it works.
