Of course we hit a low on Amazon 2 days after ordering from TGG commercial.
Cheaper on TGG commercial by $10 before delivery - I wasn't able to pick up as no stock around me.
Solid unit.

That's true. The box is huge.
I was in the OW carpark and had to pull it out of the box as it didn't fit in my small car. 😂😂 Hat off to the OW employee he took all the packaging and disposed of it.
I bought the black and white one from officeworks recently and it wouldn't fit in my boot, I got pretty worried for a while until it just fit in backseat!
Cheaper than I can get from supplier.
yep, surprise to see these on sale, given few months ago barely any stocks, got the MFC-L3770CDW on the previous deal, it is bulky, so you will need a space dedicated to it, put mine in the cupboard, the good thing is it does wireless scan/print, so you can put it anywhere, and only plug it in when you want to use it.
Very big and heavy but fantastic MFC. Great price.

Does it come with ink/toner?
Yes, it comes with toners
How many pages yield are the starter toners?

Brochure says 3k for black and 1,800 for C/M/Y. Obviously will vary depending on coverage on paper as well.
What's TCG commercial?
Typo, cheers
Great printer
Anyone finding Amazon no longer delivering to Perth and for things not in stock at Perth warehouse, January 20 delivery times?
I think it's probably because of the flooding in central NSW and how it's affecting (closed) the rail lines between Sydney & Brisbane to Perth. Had email from Star track, Aus post, & Sendle saying there'll be delay in shipping between those cities for up to more than 1 week!
My local Brisbane warehouse delivery times have pushed out to a week. Usually happens after their big sale events.
They match MWAVE?

Yes they do. I just done so
Does it block third party toners? If it does, can the firmware be downgraded/hacked to support them?
Same question
I am not 100% sure but my supplier did quote me price for third party toners
I bought this a few months ago - I do a lot of printing. By default, I found the printer setting turned off for automatic updates - which is what I googled was necessary to use third party toners. I have already replaced 2 toners with generic ones and have had no isses.
I also got one of these earlier this year. I have gone through 3 black and a set of colour toner - all generic ones. Firmware is also always up to date.
Wondering if third party toners will void warranty
Found this on Brothers website "The Brother limited warranty does not apply to any problem caused by the use of unauthorized third party supplies."
So, if a problem was not caused by the generic toner, shouldn't be an issue, I guess.
I thought this over, and decided I don't need it and will stick with my monochrome Brother laser.
My Brother mfc 9330cdw was only $350 2 years back and has same features as this. Works with 3rd party toners also.
not sure who this printer is for?
Business
all gone ?
Looks like this has been Ozbargained already :-)
Sold out unfortunately
Anyone know if these printers have the updated firmware that disallows third party toner?
Already answered
Too late to the party it seems.
So disappointing, missed this opportunity. Hoping it goes on offer again.
I have this printer and paid around $749 a few months ago. Stock was hard to come by at that time. It's a solid and reliable colour laser printer. Good bargain found by OP.
EDIT: It's heavy and bulky too so its a bonus getting delivery! ;)
