Disadvantages: USB connection

I was despirate to buy a new printer as cartridges where costing me a fortune and so laser was the way forward. I am a student so I was on a budget and I saw this printer was priced well and bit the bullet. I am very surprised by it actually. It is a little temporamentle to set up with the USB especially if you are still running 1.1.....but after that it is plain sailing. I have had it over a year now and am still using the free cartridge that has ...
...printing slightl;y to excess and still it is going strong. It prints very fast and the quality (when st to high - photo) is exceptional. This is definately one to consider when you want a printer. The free cartridge lasts for what seems like ever and it is so easy to use ..... plug it in (finally set it up) and you are away.

Advantages: Value for money, excellent print quality, compact size
Disadvantages: Can only be used with Windows - no Mac or Linux drivers

...- though having had several Konica and/or Minolta products over the years, I have always found the products to be quality ones. The compact size of this printer is a huge bonus - not being much larger than an inkjet printer makes it easy to position in a convenient place (bearing in mind that it is very heavy!).

Ease of use is also a big plus - the operator panel is easy to see and interpret, and getting to the cartridges is a doddle.

I bought this printer and it offers good colour quality. As ink ject printer, it is slow but it id good quality and you can print leaflets, flyers as we. The picture quality isn't perfect but it is alright for personal use at home. I found the printing speed average on pictures and document.

Disadvantages: ink is expensive

If you are looking for a good quality printer, mainly for home use - I strongly recommend this one. ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, good for black ink, easy to buy cartridges, "low ink" warning
Disadvantages: annoying software, not so good for colour printing or high quality stuff

...this option from within the Lexmark options screen (via Control Panel), unless you like to hear "Printing started!" in chirpy American every time you press print. Usefully, it'll monitor ink levels and warn you when they get low, with a link to the supplier's website. I get good results generally with black ink, variable with colour (sometimes either the blue or red ink seems to 'cut out'). Occasionally pulls in the paper at a wonky angle, say 1 ... Read review
