 "Very overrated" 2009-07-20
By Northwest Web Works (Vancouver, WA USA)
I don't know why this printer gets such good reviews.



Compared to the HP I owned previously, this printer's colors are washed out and weak.



Hooking it up to your network is easy for Macs but terrible for Windows machines. The instructions call for using Windows to "find a printer on the network," a procedure that everyone knows never works. I finally had to use the software to give it a static IP address because nothing else worked.



Also, envelope handling is horrible. It will mangle every #10 envelope you run through it, no matter how many different kinds of envelopes you try.



The paper tray has an indicator to show how much paper is left, which often doesn't work.



I also found it very slow to turn out that first page.



Additionally, at 67 pounds this is a ridiculously heavy, and huge, printer.



I will dump mine as soon as the toner runs low, and probably buy an unreliable HP model, which will at least work much better over its short lifespan.

 "Weak envelop handling - otherwise great" 2009-07-11
By Richard Lin (San Diego, CA United States)
This printer is a price-performance leader, with one downside for me. It simply can not be used to print envelops. It chews up envelops every single time. It printed on them alright. But envelops came out wrinkled, every time. Thick paper curls heavily too. If you only print on standard paper, this is a great printer.

 "< 1 month & over 11,000 prints WOW!" 2009-07-10
By Marcelo C. (California, USA)
Well I've had this printer for almost a month and I've printed just over 11,850 pages, about 11,500 ran through the duplexer. I can not say enough about this machine.



A MUST for those who print great deal of text. It replaced an old Canon F80, old but tried and true and worked for over 3 years! Although this machine is not an all in one, it makes it worth the added cost of another machine when you figure the amazing cost of printing. I am paying just under $0.01 per page, with the OEM high yield black toner from a local supply house at a very good price! We tried using generic toner but only printed about 2000 sheets before needing a replacement. Don't waste your time with generic toner on this machine. I use it on our network and it connects as easy as pie to both my XP (SP2) machines as well as my iMac (10.5.7)



It would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the paper handling options. The paper tray could be a bit larger, it only holds around 200 sheets, and if you plan on printing more than 115 pages then you'd better start catching the sheets as it comes out of the printer, (it only has room for so much before it starts pushing the existing prints onto the floor!!!) It is also a bit loud when printing. You can still carry on a conversation, but their is no question about the humming fan and drums spinning in the machine under the desk!!!



An additional paper tray would be nice for this machine, as well as better printing option when printing on harder card stock or envelopes. When I print on either of those two I get creases from the rollers (a very unprofessional look.)



I am still in the market for another All-In-One to take care of my copy and fax needs, but for now I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

 "Dump your inkjet, buy this printer!" 2009-06-19
By E. Andersen (San Francisco, CA)
I don't know about you, but I got really tired of inkjet printers. The software that came with it never seemed to work, and if that wasn't the problem, the dang thing was out of ink. So I had to run to the store to spend another $45 on cartridges. I swore never to buy another inkjet.

Then I stumbled on this sweet laser printer on sale at Office Max/Depot/Staples/whatever. It was almost an impulse buy, and I was out the door for about $305. It turned out to be the best impulse buy I ever made, and I've had no regrets.



Reasons why this printer is better than your inkjet:

-It's a real office grade printer. No jams, crisp text, prints both sides, really fast. Once it warms up, the pages just fly out.



-The software just works. Install the driver, plug it into the network, start printing. Er, especially if you have a mac.



-Cheaper in the long run. No, really. The toner cartridges might be a little spendy, but the included cartridges are supposedly good for your first 1,500-2,500 pages. How many pages do you really get out of your inkjet cartridges? 50-100? Also, you'll keep this printer about 2-3 times longer than any inkjet. Oh, and the duplexing thing, i.e. printing both sides of the page, saves money and trees, so you got the eco thing goin' for ya.



-The toner is water resistant, unlike inkjets. No smudges, no drying, no rainy day disasters.



I will say that the photo quality isn't quite the same as an inkjet photo printer. But, it's good enough that I would still hang it on the wall. Also, the thing takes a fair amount of space. If you live in a small apartment, you might have a hard time finding a place for a laser printer.

 "A great color laser printer." 2009-06-04
By William Danton (Reno, NV USA)
I have so had it with HPs crappy service. Couldn't even get a simple question answered. Along came this CLP for less than the cost of the toner replacement for the HP. Guess what? I got a new brother! Great machine, great price. We'll see about the service, but honestly I don't think it is possible to be worse than HP.
