The Brother MFC-J5855DW does well overall, but based on our research, some folks have had trouble with its WiFi connection. Some users said it sometimes disconnects from the network, which can interrupt your printing jobs and needs reconfiguring to fix. It doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, but it's something to keep in mind if you rely on constant wireless printing.

While we’re on the topic, it’s also worth mentioning that some users found color printing to be a bit slow. One person even mentioned it took about three minutes to print a single page in normal quality. So, if you’ve got a bunch of color pages to print, it might test your patience.

Overall, the printer has a lot of good points—great text and graphics quality and a cost-effective INKvestment Tank system to keep ink costs down. There have been occasional reports of paper jams, but they're not common.

In short, if dependable WiFi and quick color printing are high on your list, you might wanna consider these points or look into some alternative options.

Setting up the Brother MFC-J5855DW is pretty straightforward. Right out of the box, you'll find an installation guide that walks you through each step, so even if you’re not super techy, you should be good to go.

It has everything you need—ink cartridges, power cord, even a setup CD. And if your device doesn't use CDs, you can always download the drivers and software from Brother's website.

According to our research, folks usually go from unboxing to printing in about 30 minutes or less. The touchscreen interface and various connectivity options (like Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet, and NFC) make things really smooth.

So, all in all, the setup is hassle-free, and you’ll be up and running pretty quickly!

Yes, the Brother MFC-J5855DW can handle printing on 11x17 paper. The manufacturer lists it as being capable of printing up to that size, so it's definitely a good choice if you need to print larger documents.

Just keep in mind, though, that while it can print big, its scanner is a bit more limited. According to our research, the scanner and auto document feeder handle up to 8.5x11 inches, so you won't be able to scan those larger 11x17 pages.

If printing on 11x17 is your main goal, this printer should work great for you. But, if you also need to scan bigger documents, you might need to look at other options.
