OKIDATA MC561 MFP/ All-In-One Up to 31 ppm Color LED Network Printer (62435801)
scanning
- Pros: works; I like the print quality
- Cons: getting scanning to a folder on my PC took some research. Oki tech support sent me a copy of one of the .pdf files that are near the top of the list of documents brought up by a Google search on 'MC561-Folder.pdf', and that got me going.
- Other Thoughts: So far I have not figured out if my router (old Linksys RT31P2 left over from a Vonage subscription) is able to provide the printer with a DNS service that will resolve my work station's name to its IP address. I have therefore switched my PC from a DHCP assigned IP address to a static IP address, not an ideal solution.

XEROX >
XEROX Phaser 6500/N Workgroup Up to 24 ppm 600 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Laser Printer
Xerox = Junk
- Pros: Price
- Cons: The list continues to grow.
1.Does not print well on any media besides plain paper...forget trying to print an envelope, it will come out mashed, mangled and not printed squarely.
2. Manual feed is useless. It will not accept any paper or media manually and print it straight EVER. The feed rollers misalign the paper and Xerox techs have been to my office to fix it. Their response was "This is just poorly designed and there is nothing we can do to fix it. I would recommend getting a different printer if you need to use manual feed or print envelopes"
3. Deteriorating print quality. I had a brother and a samsung color lasers. They lasted years before crapping out. After a year, the print quality on this became unacceptable for anything but interoffice communication.
There is no reason to buy this printer, none, it is junk.
- Other Thoughts: Run away from Xerox.
After having their regional service manager call Xerox directly and tell them of my difficulties and suggesting that they work to get me into a new printer because this one doesn't perform as advertised, Xerox offered me 10% off retail if I'd like to get a different printer.
Sure, I want to spend money with a company who's first product was garbage, to roll the dice and hope the next one is better?

Brother HL-2240D Compact, Personal Laser Printer with Duplex
Great little printer
- Pros: For my small home office this thing works great as the cost per page is way less than my all-in-one inkjet when it comes to printing black and needing it not to smear. Labels, envelopes, and of course letter paper works well. No problems with Windows 7 x64. Brother laser printers have been a very reliable and affordable brand compared to others.
- Cons: No wireless, but if that's what you need spring a couple bucks more for that one (also a great printer!)
- Other Thoughts: Of course this went on sale 2 days after I ordered mine, and then the wifi one ended up being $5 more than this printer. I'm light duty on my printers as I really only need to print receipts, rebates, envelopes, occasional letters, and labels.

OKIDATA C330dn Workgroup Up to 25 ppm Color LED Network Printer (62435103)
Toner price is too high
- Pros: disclaimer - I am evaluating this for purchase
- Cons: Four OKI toner cartridges cost more than a new printer.
It appears as if the best deal is to buy a new printer and throw the old one away. What am I missing?

Canon Color imageCLASS MF8080Cw MFC / All-In-One Up to 12 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Wireless Laser Printer
Perfect for personal use.
- Pros: Has Color, Scanner, and copy all in one. Laser toner does not dry up between uses. Goes into energy saving mode so I don't have to think about turning it on and off. Will save a ton of money on not buying ink. Very easy to set up wireless. Instructions were VERY helpful.
- Cons: Does take a lot longer to warm up and initiate print than my old inkjet. Have not figured out how to print double sided. Instructions says it can but the option is not present in the print dialogue. Probably just need to download a newer driver/software version.
- Other Thoughts: I only print maybe 10 pages per month. We wanted a color laser printer because the toner does not dry out like inkjet. Complaints about it being slow is nominal to me. It might be worse than more expensive laser printers but its faster than my old inkjet. Just takes longer to warm up which is expected of any laser printer. The paper tray does only hold about a third of a ream of paper. Doesn't matter to me though since I print so little. Toner cartridges are somewhat pricey but they include the drum and all the parts that will wear out so you only have to ever change the cartridge. I will probably try manually refilling the cartridge because of this. 3rd party cartridges are not terrible but I have yet to try them.

brother MFC Series MFC-9125CN MFC / All-In-One Up to 19 ppm 600 x 2400 dpi Color Print Quality Color Digital Color LED Printer
Good Scanner - different brother
- Pros: Need to add a little help here. I noticed "NA" complaining about 6-buttons to scan. The Brothers have a great "Control Center" to help with scanning. EVERYTHING is done in three clicks. 1-click -open Control Center, 2-click scan to file (mine is set to assume PDF format), 3-type a name and click SAVE. It's that easy.
- Cons: the cheaper they are, the slower they are. I have seen several of the toner door openings broken after only 25k copies on the 200$ B/W models. Heavier doors would be a plus. Separate toner and drum pieces is a downer but, I tell my self "it is for the environment"
- Other Thoughts: I am a reseller that has sold many of the B/W models. I can not speak of this model in particular BUT, the Control Panel software is standard Brother stuff. Make sure that you do the "suite" install so that the OCR and PDF features work for you. I am using the Brothers as cheap scanners where the doctor's office was recommended to buy the 700$ HP or Fujitsu's.

brother HL Series HL-5450DN Workgroup Up to 40 ppm Monochrome Laser Printer
Excellent printer
- Pros: Easy to install, easy to manage, fast copies, high quality copies. Feels solidly built.
- Cons: A little bit noisy when printing, but absolutely silent on standby. Not an issue for me, but it might be if you want silence all the time.
- Other Thoughts: Installed this as a network printer on my little home LAN (three computers). Everything worked right away. The included installation CD even set up the network parameters.

brother MFC Series MFC-8710dw MFC / All-In-One Up to 40 ppm Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer
Scanner Problems
- Pros: Prints great and my users love the machine!
- Cons: Scanner keeps losing connection to computers when they try the "Scan to PC" option. Have to go into View Scanners and Cameras and after I do that it magically works again and the PC shows up instead of the "Check Connection" Message

brother DCP-7065DN MFC / All-In-One Up to 27 ppm Monochrome Compact Laser Multi-Function Copier with Duplex Printing and Networking
Nice monochrome laser printer
- Pros: This printer prints up much faster than what I would have expected. First page comes out within 4-5 seconds. Scanner and copier works great with no problems.
- Cons: A few aspects but not major. One would be that the copier lid is completely pastic and therefore very flimsy. The spring has a lot of resistance therefore when you close the lid, it will just slam down onto the glass if let down the lid too quickly. Second thing would be the scanner. When attempting to scan a stack of ducuments using the upside of the scanner, theres no problem in saving that whole stack of paper as 1 pdf file. However, when you use the glass top to scan, it can only be saved as 1 page per pdf file. More of a software issue i guess. My HP inject uses a glass top scanner but it gives you the option to add more scanned sheets before generating it into a pdf file. Strange but lets just hope the topside doesnt die.
- Other Thoughts: Overall, its a great printer and got it at a great deal. Not a very intense printer user as i perfer everything digital unless when I need to read it. In my opinion, if you're a light user like me, the starter toner should last you a pretty long time. My last black starter toner lasted me over 1 year and the color starter ones are still working well after 4 years...
