Summary: Good printer, but won't work with Windows 2000 (or XP !!!)
Comment: I had this printer for about 2 years and had absolutely no problems with it. I used it with an AMD Athlon cpu and Windows 2000 OS.

Unfortunately its Win2K driver is NOT compatible with Service Pack 4. As soon as you send anything to it Windows 2000 gets a BSD (blue screen of death) and reboots. Your only option is to uninstall SP4 (or don't install it if you haven't yet). Being that its a discontinued model I doubt Minolta will bother to release a new driver. I believe it still works with XP though.

Other than that its a very good printer.

**UPDATE 09/28/04**

Contrary to my above comments this printer WON'T work with Windows XP either! It just gives a COVER OPEN error. Fortunately Minolta allowed me to exchange it for a 1250W model which works fine with XP. Nice of them, considering that I bought it from a 3rd party vendor.

So unless you plan on only ever using Windows 98 DON'T buy an 1100L!

Summary: Drivers for Win 2000 don't work!
Comment: I've tried to use the printer with a win 2000 system. The driver supplied by Minolta is total crap! On a AMD Athlon@1GHz it uses 100% of the CPU-time for about 10 seconds just to print one page. In addition to wasting time the driver wastes physical resources because most of the time the first page of a printjob is just a black page. When I tried to get support from Minolta they just didn't care.

Summary: Fast and pretty, but ...
Comment: The output is beautiful, it's very fast, and the price is right. However, there's no driver for Windows XP, and the driver doesn't handle remote printing over a home network well.

Summary: Single User Excellent results
Comment: I've been using this printer for about 16 months. I got it because it was a great price for a laser and I print lots of documents for graduate school. I had no problem with the installation (I'm running Windows ME) and the printer has been nearly flawless in its function (maybe jammed 3 times in 16 months). I don't use it on a network, virtually never print graphics or pics of any kinds. I read a comment about the power going out, but for a period of 6 months, I actually had to keep the printer unplugged all the time unless printing. I would then simply plug it into my computer, and into the power supply, and it worked fine, no need to re-install anything.

I think for a small office this is a good value any way you slice it.

Summary: Lots of problems on Windows XP
Comment: This printer does not supply stable printer driver for Windows XP. The only driver is version 0.22. Good number, even not greater than 1.00.

I try to contact Minolta tech-support and they gave me some instructions and I can not see any improvement on my printer. At least, they still rply you...

.... If you want to keep using Windows 9x, well, it is a good buy. Otherwise, you will get a lot of troubles on it.

...This is good product in such a price. I don't think that I can get a printer from HP or the other brand in this price. Especially, in such a bad economy season, I don't people want pay more money if they get the same thing....
