New printer required for the office - will be printing maybe 20 sheets per day.

Also needs to be able to scan and would be great if it can print A3

Wireless printing also handy

We currently use Brother and don't have any issues with the non OEM ink

I saw this one on my google travels - is it any good?

Sorry - I don't know if that's any good.
I have a similar price point Epsom 7710 which I am happy with. It replaced a similar (previous model) Epsom which lasted about 5 years.

I have used one of these for about 3 years for my week and personal use and find it very good.

Some points:

1 Being A3, it is big and take up space
2 Mine is wireless only; no Ethernet or similar connection; no problem generally. Had some connection problems at one point but was very impressed with Brother Support who managed to fix it but it took some time.
3 I am not a heavy user (<20pp/day). Ink usage seems reasonable and generic inks are, as ever, cheaper than OEM.

It has survived a full mug of tea being poured through it; once dried out it was worked perfectly.

Although I spent much less than the amount now advertised but even it at that price I would recommend it.

Can't comment on that Brother one but I recently bought an Epson XP-970 which would tick all your boxes - A3, networked (wired or wireless), integrated scanning and copying and does duplex (double-sided) printing if that's of interest. Very happy with it so far.
