5 out of 5 eggsGreat Printer

Pros: Amazing printer. It's simple but it gets the job done. 2600 pages per high yield toner cartridge. Easily set up wireless. Had to hook it up with an ethernet cable first but then was able to just install the CD on each computer on my network. Prints fast too.

Cons: Not really a con but I bought a toner cartridge off Eb-ay that wasn't a manufacturer original I guess you could say. I had to put it in and out a couple of times for it to accept it but i finally did.

Other Thoughts: I paid less than eighty bucks with free shipping to boot. You can't beat that. Wish I had the 2270 because of the automatic duplexing but you can't beat this printer very easy

1 out of 5 eggsGarbage

Pros: fine quality, fast

Cons: Wireless NEVER worked. Installed the software a dozen times over on three computers.

Software is garbage. Printing via ethernet stopped after 6 months. No warnings, no error, explanation, no flashing lights, windows just says "Printing - Error" and the thing sits like a stone.

5 out of 5 eggsWorkhorse

Pros: Excellent quality for the price. Reasonable purchase price (great price if you can get it as a special for under a "C" note), relatively cheap to print (toner goes a long way), fast printing, reliable, and on, and on. [See Other Thoughts]

Cons: Three main problems. 1) It will not deliver my print jobs from the basement (networked printer) to the first floor where I print some of my jobs. 2) It doesn't have a feature to prevent my kids from running multiple "junk" print jobs. 3) It doesn't truncate the mapquest print jobs from my wife to prevent several pages of useless maps and ads from printing after the one page of directions she needs. Then again, I don't think these features are available on higher priced printers either.

Other Thoughts: I have five kids. I have used this for home office and personal use for more than four years. This printer is the family workhorse and has gone through several 10's of thousands of pages of printing. I have had very good luck with the life of toner cartridges. The printer has only jammed less than a handful of times. It is incredibly reliable! How reliable? Occasionally, my wife or kids will complain that the printer isn't working. When that happens, the last place I look for the problem is with the printer. It is usually a user error, software issue, or a problem with the printing queue. If, after all of that, I discover that it is "printer" problem, it is almost always an empty paper tray. The printer is so reliable that I bought a second printer to send to college with my daughter. If you are looking for a fire [print] and forget solution that is inexpensive to buy and maintain, stop reading and "ADD TO CART."

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: Fast
Great prints for son in college
easy set up (for me anyway) - I just set up as a network printer on my home LAN. We print from multiple PC's
Great price

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: I did get new Windows 7 drivers from the website.

When the printer stops (says it is out of ink) I just put a piece of tape over the the 2 plastic plugs on each side of the toner cartridge. Getting hundreds of extra prints from the cartridge.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat Value

Pros: Easy to set up over wired or wireless, works great over the network. Takes up very little space. Prints excellent quality.

4 out of 5 eggsDecent Printer

Pros: Easy install, nice management software, fast. Linux recognized it as soon as I clicked the printer icon. Good print quality. Great for SOHO.

Cons: Printing documents over 42 pages seems to induce jams from the heat especially when printing double-sided. Have to let it cool down.

Other Thoughts: Initial toner cartridge didn't last long but price per page is definitely better than an ink jet.
