Pros: Good print speed, and nice color for a laser printer at this price. Separate toner and drum keep's the consumables price down. This is a plus for home users who need a printer in an on again off again fashion. This print has worked perfectly for my home and business needs, networks well too.
Cons: NO USB cable, :( oh well. The color tanks hold half the toner of the black. And the paper tray is a little hard to use at first. Not really a con but when the instructions say shake the toner tanks before installing them, they mean it. Shake the living daylights out of them.
Overall Review: I have had a lot of printers over the years, and the laser printers of today offer a lot for the home user. While the cost is higher for laser printers I feel you can recoup that cost in ink and print heads. At ten to thirty dollars a wack inkjet printers when used over time will cost more money. This I feel is due to the fact that most home users and some office users do not use them enough to truly use all the ink (dry ink syndrome). If left untreated DIS will turn even the best inkjet printers into trashcan buddies. Even if you can’t use generic toner refills as one person has said. At 2000 pages (the capacity of this printer) the average home user may not need toner for a year or more. And unlike inkjet tanks toner tanks have a longer shelf life if kept dry.
