Another reviewer said it was hard to get this working wireless with Mac Lion OSX but it was easy for me, this is what I did:
1) I turned on the printer (across the room from my computer not connect with any cable) then went to my computer.
2) Opened System Preferences, select Print & Scan, then click the plus (+) to add printer.
3) The Brother showed up in the list, presumable because it was broadcasting on my wireless network (did this out-of-the-box). Selected the Brother, my computer then told me it was downloading the driver from Apple.
A minute later my computer had downloaded and installed the driver automagically, and the Brother showed up in my list of printers, I just successfully printed a test page and also verified the duplex printing works. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my macbook pro, hope this review helps other users get it working. I'm giving this 5 stars for ease of setup, and good looks.
Just bought a 7860DW and wanted to respond to some concerns from a reviewer in 2011, especially the "quirk" where it was stated that the printer doesnt go to sleep in wireless.
That is not my experience at all; it goes to sleep as it should in wireless mode.
I have been more than pleased considering the price and the fact that it scans to pdf or jpeg in color if appropriate, has both platen and sheetfeeder, if you look in the manual the paper feed rollers are accessaible to clean. That is a big deal because eventually you will need to clean them, and many cheap priters I have had don't let you access all the feed rollers to clean them.
Considering that I paid less than $200 for it, I feel you get a lot for your money. Yes, it is plastic, but you also didnt pay thousands of dollars for it. Several other older Brother printers and mfc's in my family and at work - they all seem to be good products.
My first impression is 5 stars.
