Advantages: Colour, compact compared to other laser and fits on desktop, laser.
Disadvantages: Still quite large compared to an ink jet.

I bought one of these babies because I hate inkjets and love laser. This was the only one I could really afford which was small enough to fit on my desktop and had colour. Laser printers are better than inkjets because they give a crisp and professional look to word documents and spreadsheets. Even with a fine quality inject it still looks home-made unless it is on hideously expensive paper. Therefore the LBP 5000 it makes my assignments look great. ...
...pictures which sends shivers down my spine with excitement. It is generally understood that lasers are far better value for money on a long-term basis. When you replace cartridges in an injet they can cost £15 plus for each colour. A replacement toner cartridge for the LBP5000 laser printer is around £50, however they need replacing far less frequently. I have had mine for six months and have gone through at least two reams of paper and still have ... Read review

Advantages: Portable, cheap to print, small size on desk
Disadvantages: Slow, only average print quality

...the software/driver for my desktop Canon at work conflicted with this one. Naturally I wanted to be able to use this at home (where my printing volume are low and my requirements more draft than presentation quality) and a more high volume one one my desk at work. But I couldn't! How stupid. Had to change my Canon printer at work for a different one (swapped with someone else in the office) then it was OK. You'd think Canon might have seen that one ...
...if you need this kind of thing. If you want high volume then buy a laser; if you want to print lots of images in colour etc then buy a photosmart or something. But I have a laptop and I occasionally had to travel for work so it was really useful to be able to print off, say, a presentation I was preparing without having to rely on a hotel's business suite or whatever. At home I only needed to print off the odd thing - a few pages a day, so the ... Read review

Advantages: Good for those on low budget
Disadvantages: You get what you pay for....

This printer is one of the better low end printers in the market today. It will suit the average student, home-office or family type environment. This printer is not good enough quality to be used as a photo or artistic printer. It is aimed at the budget group so do not expect too much speed. It can print up to 5 ppm but it takes around 1-2 minutes to start up. This printer is very easy to install. It came with a driver cd, which was needed even ...
...the printer had of been plug n play compatible. The printer is very easy to use. Simply plug in, install ink, and install drivers. Then hit print. The printer has limited (eg: no) extra functions. It is NOT at all in one or combination device. The printer supports A4,A5 and Envelope sizes. (Possibly other size combinations.) This is still good value for money, as it is quite a cheap alternative. ... Read review

Advantages: reliable
Disadvantages: none

...I did have a Canon 2400 which I put to one side,pulled it out a year later only to find it still worked Ok. However, things had moved on and I wanted some better results. how? I compromised a little on quality, bought a BJC 6000, saved a lot of money, have Canon reliability, and a better inkjet replacement system which saves money in the long run. Happy? Of course I am and I am sorry Canon for treating you so badly when you deserved better from me. ... Read review
