Very observant of you. It was published briefly in the past, but Brother then informed us it was under NDA until today so it was taken down and re-published today. Apologies for the confusion.
I just visited the Brother website, the link for this printer has the best 3D animation I have come across for a techie item, especially the hyper view option, almost out of the monitor.

This would be my ideal machine, if it worked. Particularly important to me was being able to print colour A3. Unfortuneatly it jams constantly, loses wireless connection (I've now got it on USB connection) and numerous other faults - I just think it attempts too much at too low a quality. Shame. Don't know what to get now - don't want a Photo-printer. Any suggestions? Wish this machine worked.
I'm 100% happy with my 6490, everything works fine, ref:- Freddie, read the instructions for paper loading in tray, then you might find there are no more jams if not refer to the 1 year on site warranty, the Brother help line is as good as it gets.

I bought one of these at the end of April and was a little wary because of the problem I'd had setting up my wireless LAN originally. I needed have worried, the printer did it all except entering the passcode! I love this printer, not had any jams or indeed any problems at all. I like the feature where it self cleans the ink jets if unused for any lengthy period (ie a few days) so it always ready for use. Great printer all round.
I have returned the printer to the store. here's why...
I tried to reduce letter-size artwork to one sheet of 4x6 photo paper. Paper jammed!
Tried again with 2 sheets - but standard option to reduce Ltr-to-4x6 (on scanner) reduced by 46%. It left one-inch of blank space at bottom! Called Brother CusSvc- they said try to reduce via Custom 50%. It removed the right margin, and left 3/4-inch blank at bottom!
I talked to two different agents and a tech supvr. They could not tell me any way to get a balanced 4x6 reduction! I also tried using the AutoDocFeeder - it jammed!!!
BTW, I used my HP C4280 (paid $50) and got a better reduction than the $300 MFC-6490CW.

I bought this with a view to having a wireless printer connected to our two computers for ease of use. To date, I have not been able to get a wireless connection to this printer despite following the detailed instructions. All I get is a message 'connection failed'. There are no guides as to why the connection repeatedly fails. The printer recognises the ssid of my modem/router but refuses to connect to it.
So I have it connected to one computer via USB.
It doesn't seem entirely compatible with Photoshop as B&W pictures print out green!
It wont take good quality (thick) photo paper as it jams.
Altogether not a good buy
