Canon Laser Shot LBP 2900

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable and produces high quality prints
Disadvantages: The odd paper jam

...Whilst talking to a friend a few months back, I mentioned I needed to buy a new printer as my old one had ceased working. My friend recommended the Canon Laser Shot LBP 2900 Printer, As that is what he had been using and said it was reasonably cheap to buy and did a good job. So the next day I went onto Amazon, Paid my £54.50 and waited for it to arrive. Upon its arrival, I promptly went about setting it up, Now I was impressed it was small and compact and looked stylish with its monochrome finish. For £54.50 for a reliable laser printer I thought great and thanked my friend for his recommendation. However, There was one minor problem, Now and then the paper gets jammed, This has happened with every printer I have ever used at sometime though, So I don't really see it as a big deal. The LBP 2900 produces high quality...

ZAP! - Canon's LBP 1120

Advantages: Prints whole sheets in just seconds. Looks very modern and sleek. Little noise.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever.

...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...

Good Hardware, Bad Software

Advantages: good print quality
Disadvantages: bad software

...If you take a look at Canon LBP2900 you will see that this printer mimic HP LaserJet 1020 and HP LaserJet 1022, not only in the design but it take the SAME cartridge (Q2612A or 12A for short)....The seller tell me that and I saw that with my eyes The top cover should have a sensor to tell you that the cover is closed so if you forget to open it the papers will not accumulate under the cover.. And if we compare it to HP LaserJet 1022 you will find that LBP2900 have no tray cover which prevent the papers from dusts (Canon LBP3000 have a tray cover). LBP2900 produce good quality prints but this printer is an example for the product that you hate because of its software... If you have a 64-bit system (like Vista64 or XP x64) or you are using Mac OS X then don't buy it, because there is no drivers for these systems, also there is...

Canon Fire Off A Good Printer

Advantages: Quiet, easy to use, reliable
Disadvantages: None

...a budget printer and the S800 runs in at £300. The paper feeds in through the rear and before you can say ‘Wow that was quick and such good quality’ the printed page appears. It has standard USB parallel connections and the paper feeder will hold about 100 pages. Setting up the printer is about as easy as it could be. The instructions are all perfectly clear and within minutes its ready to use. Once set up it also ease to use in day-to-day use . It is also as Bjork might say 'Oh So Quiet' in comparison with the cacophany of noise the old HP made. The Canon scores though in providing the best quality inkjet quality I have ever seen. It is practically at laser standard but without the exhorbitant cost. It is also good because the running costs of the Canon are reasonable too. The ink cartridges seem to last quite a good time in...

The Laser Printer that speaks

Advantages: easy to set up and run. Uses PC's own memory
Disadvantages: toner cartridges may be tricky to find

...I was somewhat startled when I first heard my printer talk to me. She had a cultured English accent and regaled me with phrases like "add paper to printer", "printing started", "printing complete". Or even "printer not responding" when I tried to print and had forgotten to switch the LBP-800 on. I found her quite comforting, though you may not agree, as I could see no way in the software to shut her up. It was the PC doing the actual talking, of course. You need a sound card and be attached to speakers. If you prefer, the CD ROM has drivers for various alternative languages including French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish. I'd had an HP LaserJet 6L before, and found the Canon to gave noticeably lighter output by comparison. Print speed is also much faster than the 6L, but since the Canon uses the PC's own memory and I...

Review of Canon LBP 800

Great for the money and size.

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. There is always a slight shininess to the text and 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...

Lay Out More For Cheaper Prints

Advantages: Low running cost per page of print - not fussy about paper, and toner approx. £35 p.a.
Disadvantages: Slightly dearer to buy and only monochrome.

...NOTE: THIS IS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF A MUCH SHORTER OP I WROTE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I have been using my Canon LBP-660 in a home office environment for over three years so don?t expect this to be a current model any more. However, much of what I am about to say could apply to any entry-level laser printer, Canon or not. A lot of people will think that, because they need a printer including a colour capability, that they must stick to an inkjet of some kind. Well, of course in the case of the colour requirement, they?d be right, since the cost of a colour laser doesn?t bear thinking about, unless it?s for corporate use, and the cost of not just competent but excellent colour inkjets is now very low. What concerns me, however, is the running cost. I don?t think anyone who has an inkjet as their sole printer will argue with the fact...

Canon Quality

Advantages: Same Canon quality we have come to expect, great ISO capabilities.
Disadvantages: Buttons can get fiddly in the cold.

... Canon 500D Introduction Canons range of cameras is very impressive. Everyone can be accommodated for, there really is something for everyone. Camera Itself First off, the camera. The sensor on this model has a larger pixel count than many of its rivals and cheaper models in the range. The 15.1 megapixels on offer is more than enough for the market it is aimed at, these images will easily be blown up above A3 and still retain most of the detail. The new addition to this camera that sets it apart from the older models is the Full 1080p movies. Many photographers don?t like this new mode but if you don?t, then simply don?t use it. Having the functionality of a high quality video camera on family holidays and such will be welcomed by the enthusiast market at which this is aimed toward. One problem I found...

Canon or a Brother ?

Advantages: Good print Quality
Disadvantages: Cartridge prices

...This review is for the Canon Pixma IP4700. Setup --------- This printer comes inside a box which is heavily packaged and first off all you get the power cable. The cable is wrapped with this tie back but the problem is that when you unwind the cable you notice how it wants to try and curl back up again so you do need to try and straighten it out as soon as you can. You receive the disc which has the drivers on which you need to install on the computer otherwise you have no way of printing items off without it. There is nothing else inside the box besides the cartridges which are easy to insert and use. The disc is good because it is so simple to install the items onto the computer and this takes about a minute to do. You do not get a connection to the computer though so you do need to purchase one yourself and many websites...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP4700

Reliable canon laser printer

Advantages: Long lasting toner cartridge, fast printouts
Disadvantages: Expensive toner, very heavy to move low dpi and balck and white only printing

...I had always wanted to own a laser printer for my Home PC in addition to an inkjet. I liked the idea of having long lasting toner cartidges and the sharp printouts that you get from these printers. Due to the high costs of these printers I decided that I would have to buy second hand. Prices for laser printers have reduced over the past few years with many overpriced colour lasers entering the market. So I went onto Ebay and won the auction for the Canon laser 4-plus printer. The seller said the reason why he was selling it was because he was upgrading to a colour laser. I paid 30 pounds for this machine. It has the following features; This printer prints up to 4 pages per minute very quietly It is a very compact printer and is much smaller than other types. It can print on a wide range of papers such as envolopes...
