I recently got the chance to purchase a new printer for a friend of mine, he, having no internet access and wary of overpriced shops asked me to go online and find him a decent printer for under 150 pounds. Having only bought two printers prior to getting the Canon LBP 1120 I wasn't entirely sure where to start, to combat my uncertainty I decided to shop around, seeking the finest price possible.
In the end my search brought me back to my usual shop for components, www.ebuyer.com. After around ten minutes browsing their printer section I came across the LBP 1120 Laser printer. Canon in general have always served me well, being one of the only firms to charge a fair price for ink cartridges, my first printer, an Epson I found I had to shell out 20 quid just for a cartridge! Such perks as a claimed ten pages a minute, plus some sort of Laser Shot technology feature finally convinced me to opt for this printer, it certainly looked rather nice too. The final price stood at just 109 pounds including VAT and delivery! Pretty cheap for a laser printer.
The Printer
As is always the case with ebuyer.com, the item arrived very promptly 4 days after placing my order. It came in a rather large, lightly coloured box with a picture of the printer on the front, plus a few details with regards to its Dpi rating and capabilities. Inside was the printer, plus its cable and a moderately sized booklet with information regarding installation and use, aswell as a software CD obviously containing Canon's printing software.
While moderately heavy, the printer isn't too much of a bother to life and carry to wherever you want it to be. In my case it was my friends desk. The cables provided make for a relatively easy installation process. The printer is packaged with a USB connection, not the traditional pinned connection we often see with other printers, one end fits in the printer, the other in a USB socket in the rear of ones computer.
The other cable is a traditional power cable,with a 3 pin connection one end and a UK plug on the other. Obviously one end fits into the printer and the other in a nearby plug socket.
Upon finishing installing the printer, I booted up Windows. The printer is compatable with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. Unfortunately the printer will not work with a MAC or a Linux system. My buddy is running on 98' so it was no problem whatsoever to install and run the software. The software provided is quite similar to what you'd find with another brand, say HP or Epson, with useful printing functions and options included. The printer itself looks rather nice and modern, with its curvacious front and paper holding mechanisms its a quintissential post millenium machine. The buttons are easy to operate, and its warm up cycle is very quick indeed, taking under a second! Meaning you could switch this on, and have a sheet printed off in under 20 seconds, not bad ey?
The printer runs from a Canon all in one cartridge, which according to them ensures little maintenance is necessary (until of course the ink runs out). This is particularily useful for the casual home user, as some printers can take some technical knowledge to work out, not this one though!
Paper feeds into the printer easily, we used normal plain paper for the testing, and ended up printing a set of 6 holiday photos from last summer, all of which came out brilliantly. The printing isn't instantanous, but its pretty darn close to it. It took between 15 and 20 seconds for each print, probably due to the amount of ink needed, this is outstanding considering an average inkjet can take several minutes just for one sheet! Aswell as this, the printer can also print on envelopes and labels, great if you mail items frequently to others or if your running a small business.
The printer is simple to operate, with again encourages me to emphasize the usefulness within the home or workplace. It really is a convenient piece of technology. Its also completely silent, possessing no noisy fan!
Manufacturers support is good too, Canon's website includes a good library of drivers for the printer, ensuring it will run with any future version of Windows perfectly. Three weeks on my mate is very happy with his new printer, and in case anything should go wrong, the printer is covered by a 12 month warranty courtesy of Canon!
Conclusion
This is a truly amazing printer, not too expensive at a tad over 100 quid, and delivers an awesome service, printing out even photo shots very fast indeed. Thus, I definately recommend this product to anyone looking for a new printer for their home or small business.
Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and install Disadvantages: Doesn't seem to warn you when toner is low
...find the disk. Support from Canon (telephone) was excellent and the software can be downloaded online.
There is no LCD screen but most functions can be dealt with through the pc-based monitor. I don't seem to have figured out a way of knowing when the toner is low though so make sure you have a spare on hand. I didn't and had to spend 3 days waiting for the mail-order toner to arrive! My local PCWorld doesn't stock the toner for this but it was ... ...all stock it). Prices range from £30-£50 a time so shop around. Each cartridge supposedly does around 4000 pages.
When you switch the printer on, it doesn't take long (just a few secs) before it starts printing. A lovely funky blue light on the front lets you know it's switched on. The operation is plenty fast enough for me (10ppm) and it is reasonably quiet. The paper holder holds a reasonable amount of paper (at least 100 pgs) and you can choose ...

Advantages: Cheap to buy (£60 at PC World) Cheap to run (Laser vs inkjet) Disadvantages: Less than very best quality. No usb cable in box.
I am setting up a home office, and already had an old Lexmark Z55 inkjet printer, but I needed new ink cartridges for it. I went to PC World, and original cartridges for the Z55 would have cost £50 (1 colour and 1 B&W). O.E.M. cheaper (30%)
PCWORLD had the Laser Shot LBP1120 on offer at £59.99 . The decision to buy it was simple really. I can expect at least 3 times the life of a laser cartridge vs inkjet, and OEM cartridge replacement is about ...

Advantages: Very quick printer, with very short warm up time Disadvantages: Occasionally liable to jam when hopper over filled
...£70 mark, compared to the Canon £120 pricetag, the quality is noticeably different. The Samsung print quality is comparably faint, lacking the clean crisp print achieved with the Canon. In addition the Samsung laser toner can only be topped up a maxiumum of three times before the print quality is compromised. A new laser toner costs more than the machine itself which means throwing them away on a regular basis. A replacement canon toner can be purchased ... ...far are its tendency to occasionally jam when the hopper is overfilled. It also failed at successfully printing labels, with some of the edge trim somehow getting stuck within the imaging drum. This was reasonably easily rectified however, but we have not attempted printing labels since.
Overall a very good product and at the low price makes it the most attractive laser printer of its class on the market. ...

The canon laser shot lbp-1120, has got to be one of is not the best in its price range,
I could go on and on about all its cool features but all I'd be doing is ripping off the guy above,

Advantages: It`s design is perfectly. I have it for more than an year, but I didn`t have any problems with it. Disadvantages: I really don`t see any disadvantages, except that it`s not color printer
I dreamed a lot about having a laser printer which is cheap and good. After some searchings, I realised that this printer is really good, cheap, and it`s for me. I and my family print a lot, daily. It prints with a good speed, I don`t manage to take the paper but the next paper is already coming. I also like it`s design, it`s really interesting. And i also like the voice assist : it also says : "The printing is begun" "The printing is finished" it`s ...

Space is a valuable commodity, especially when it comes to a busy home office or small business. The Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 packs all the features you need into one compact, space saving unit. With crisp, clean, professional printing, it gives you exactly what you want without making a big dent in your wallet. Since there's no warm up time when you switch it on, the Laser Shot LBP-1120 gets you on your way quickly. Automatic Image Refinement (AIR) gives you printing at a high 2400 x 600 dpi resolution. With Canon Advanced Printing Technology (CAPT), all printing data is stored onto your PC, doing away with the need for lots of printer memory. Smart Compression Architecture (SCoA) technology also compresses data before sending it to the printer, allowing even complex files to be printed quickly at 10 pages per minute. With the LBP 1120 you'll always know where you are - a Voice Assist feature keeps you informed of printing status. The printer won't slow you down either, with an All-In-One cartridge virtually eliminating maintenance and providing clean print, after clean print. With everything taken care of you're free to concentrate on your output. A 125-sheet paper capacity easily deals with large volume and lets you print transparencies, labels, postcards and envelopes.
