Refurbished Brother MFC-5440CN flatbed fax/scanner/copier/printer $29.99 + tax shipped Staples

$74.98 - $15 instant coupon - $30 rebate = $29.98

less ebates 4% = $2.4 = $27.58 + tax.

less any credit card Cash Back or and other scams.

It does an instant coupon so I don't think it's combinable with any of the Staples coupons.

Stating the BRAND NAME and what the unit actually is in the title would have been informative instead of just stating a model number......

Is there anyone else that uses the MFC model number besides Brother?

Ebates is another site like Fatwallet that gives you Cash Back.

bought one with 3x$3 ink coupon. $24.68 shipped AR.

OOS

jamesbogdanoff said: Great price. I recomend this machine at a lot higher price. I use this Brother 5440CN machine in my office as a fax/scanner/light copier. It works great. It is black/white laser toner not color inkjet. Only quirk is I can't get it to scan legal size paper. And never use any other laser toner than genuine Brother toner. The same for Brother inkjets. I paid $100 for this machine three years ago and it is still going.
Do you mean its a B &W laser printer?

ajny said: Interestingly enough, OD has Refurb Brother 5840 on sale for $50 AR ($90-$40 Rebate).

5840 adds a second paper tray, 16M memory for faxes, Photocapture center (Memory card reader), ability to print to legal paper.

Since these are older models, information is scarce on these machines. Here is a link to sales brochure for these machines http://www.staples.com/sbd/img/rebates/pdfs/575216.pdf

Edit: Forgot to add, this thing uses Brother LK41 series ink carts which cost about $1 on eBay. Separate carts for black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.

Do you have a link to this item on the Office Depot site? I can't find it on the site.

Found on site just to confirm with offer code.

I just got one. How come others say its OOS ? The cheap ink tanks and Network capability sold it for me. Submitted the rebate too - gotta love Staples easy rebates. Thanks, OP

Just added to my cart as well. Might depend on where you live.

I pretty sure it uses inkjet cartriges. Four seperate catridges.

LC-41BK Black (569014) LC-41C Cyan (569017) LC-41M Magenta (569018) LC-41Y Yellow (569019)

I hope so anyways because I just ordered a bunch from 123inkjet. I picked up 21 cartridges from them for $55 shipped with a 30% off code they emailed me.

I missed it

Haven't done an Easy Rebate in a while. Do you have to send anything in? UPC, receipt, packing slip, etc?

How's the quality on thoses from Abacus? I've used the Spectrum brand from 123inkjet before (not for this printer but others) and they are good quality products.

Interesting...

When I use my regular Staples account it shows out of stock... When I create a new account and use a one time credit card, it is in stock...

And it looks like they raised the price to $35 now.

So, is the instant $15 rebate gone? I do see it listed - is there a code that needs to be added? This is not referenced in the deal description.

my order yesterday went through. but today i got this email.

This thing is awesome...it does everything.

It does come with ink cartridges.

It doesn't come with the Vista compatable software on disk but you can download it here.

vista software

All the functions work great. It unzips the files and you have to go to the 'Setup5440CN' directory, then 'eng' directory, then click setup.

famewolf said: I picked up the MFC-5840cn from Office Depot..should be delivered in 3 days... I'd like to know where the person is finding the ink's for $1 each on eBay because best price I'm finding is $14.95 for a 14 pack that has 5 black and 3 of each of the colors with $10 in shipping so thats basically $2 each...maybe I'm looking wrong.

I had just given a rough estimate that the carts are about a dollar each. I looked around on eBay and other places, and you are right, after factoring in shipping, it comes to about $2, maybe a few cents less (I see a 9 pack for $17 shipped).

Just wanted to add another suggestion here- Brother printers (including these (I think)) has some kind of optical ink sensors which keep checking the level of ink in the ink tank of the cart. All 4 ink carts need to have ink for the printer to print (so, even if u want to just print black, u still need to have non-empty color carts). When the ink goes low, the printer says it is out of ink and refuses to print. Now, trouble is this happens even when there is about 15% or more ink left in the tank. To work out this problem some people apply black electrical tape to the part of the cart which comes in contact with the optical ink sensor. I think there are pictures somewhere on the web which show exactly where to apply the tape, use google to find out.

I have a MFC-210C (uses same ink) and it is one of the best printers I have owned in the under $100 (think I paid around 30 for mine 2 years ago). Ink is dirt cheap...I order from abcink.com (Meritline). Works with Vista, doesn't take up a lot of room, and even in the "Fast Print" mode, everything is clear.
