Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Home Printer!!
Comment: This printer has saved us hundreds of dollars in ink--and the speed and LACK of maintenance required has been great too! Let go of your inkjet and send your photos to a photo lab. Highly recommended for family printing.

Summary: Workhorse
Comment: We use this printer in our office and it's printing almost non-stop. No problems with the printer. We use toner refill kits to save on costs, and only have to replace the actual toner cartridge about once a year. Would highly recommend.

Summary: Lowest cost per page if you use a MICR toner cartridge
Comment: MICR toner cartridges are sold for laser printers so you can print checks that are magnetically encoded to satisfy banks and the scanners at retail stores.

I discovered an added advantage by accident.

The MICR toner in the cartridges sold at checksnet.com is darker than regular toner and other MICR toner I found. This has allowed me to use printer darkness settings as low as 1 (on the 1 to 10 scale) and I still get solid black text when I print regular documents.

Bottom line is, after some testing, I figured out that using the MICR toner cartridge is cheaper (more printed pages) than buying several regular toner cartridges for my laser printer.

Summary: Very unreliable printer
Comment: I first bought this printer about two years ago. After only having it for a few months, my computer would no longer recognize it. I did everything the customer support people asked, including buying an extra USB cable (not that they included one with the printer in the first place). After that they sent me a refurbished replacement printer, and I got it very quickly. Unfortunately my replacement printer was dead on arrival. Even more unfortunate, customer support became a lot less kind in replacing this one. It took me a few months to convince them that it really was dead, including testing it on three different computers, with two different cables, in three different operating systems. Finally they agreed to exchange it again, and within a few days I once again had a "new" (refurbished) printer. This one worked for a few months, and now my computer won't recognize it either. I have again confirmed that it is the printer that has died, and unfortunately my warranty period is over, and so I am stuck with a dead printer.

Summary: GREAT Low Priced Laser Printer!
Comment: My husband purchased this printer just before the 2004 income tax season - he has a seasonal tax preparation business - and it has printed over 10,000 pages so far with only one call to tech support, which cured the only problem - not pulling paper through (dirty rollers)- with a Q-tip and alcohol in about 5 minutes. After using inkjet printers for his first few seasons and going through 3 black ink cartridges a week during his busiest time, plus the wait for the slow printing time, he decided to try a laser printer and loves it. It much more economical to operate and so much faster. He highly recommends this printer for anyone who does a lot of black and white printing.
