Advantages: small, easy, cheap, good quality (for a col. laser) Disadvantages: smallish paper tray
Good little colour printer! Network ready, works well with my Mac and PC over ethernet. Installed easily on both.
Initial toner cartridges are not full capacity, but mine ran to around 950 pages when black, followed shortly but magenta and cyan ran out. Tip for using this printer: switch on the supplies warning override. It was telling me to replace toner at around 600 pages, I got 350 pages more before needing too!
Use: using this for short run ... ...Edge Control set to light this is just fine. Not quite as smooth as the commercial printer I use for digital but acceptable, and we're promoting photography services mainly.
Prints card up to 220gsm OK. Also duplexes well (work and turn). In first 1000 pages it needed 1 calibration (diy through the printer menu). Paper tray could be a bit bigger, as I'm mostly using 120gsm and I need to top up regularly. Reasonably cheap to run, I est. around .40c ...

Advantages: Looks good, prints fast, Disadvantages: Too expensive for heavy use
...poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine.
Set up and install
------------------------
Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date ... ...Supplies
------------
About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30.

Advantages: The quality of the Photo printing and it prints to A3 Disadvantages: Setting it up
I bought a Canon Pixma ix4000 about three months ago. I'm not a technical expert, either in computers or in printers, so this review may be bit lacking in some technical details.
I already have a Sharp AL1457D (a multi purpose laser printer, scanner and copier) which I use for most day to day printing. The sharp only prints out onto A4 and is Black and white. I like taking photographs so I set out to buy an extra printer that was good for photographs ... ...(sods law really).
The Canon meets all of my needs. It prints up to A3, fairly quickly (if its' B&W). it prints excellent quality photographs (both colour and black and white), to look at them you would think that they were produced by a Professional photo lab, they are that good. I take lots of digital photos using a Canon EOS 300D. The printer produces picture quality that is just incredible, the subtlety of tones are great. I took some photos ...

Advantages: Cheap colour laser, compact, easy to set up and use Disadvantages: Noisy, slow, toner refills too small and difficult to obtain
The 6110 printing quality is very good in both colour & b&w even in draft mode. The unit is compact and simple in design. The print speed in b&w is adequate for home use but might be a bit slow for business use. Colour is too slow for anything other than a few copies. The machine is very reasonably priced and compares favourably with other similar p
