I’ve had this printer for a week or ten days, and it works fine through the USB connection. Fast and decent print quality. I have, however spent hours trying unsuccessfully to network the printer, either wired or wireless. The instructions are terrible and confusing, way beyond any other printer I’ve ever owned. I’m not exactly a novice, as I have networked several other printer brands with no problem. I doubt that I would ever recommend this product to a friend.

I bought this thinking that I could connect it wirelessly to two laptops in an office. What the sales info fails to mention is that it has to be connected to a printer server or router. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have bought it. Frankly, it’s too much trouble to return it….
Tech support goes straight to India. They asked for my mailing address 5 times but couldn’t answer basic questions.
The wireless setup, if you dare try it, is incredibly confusing. I’m usually pretty good with computer accessories, but I gave up quickly on this one. I guess it’s an okay desktop laser printer, but that’s not what I bought it for.
Be careful removing the blue packing tape from the machine. I tore a plastic panel right off the unit. That’s quality.
If I were to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

It works very well. It set up well. It has low cost per copy. It is only 1 month old

This printer has some great features but there are two serious issues:
1) POWER DRAIN. This printer causes brown-outs in my house. My last two laser printers did not. Every time it started the printing process, the lights went dim and my UPS system clicked on. Obviously, this is relative and may just be my house but it obviously draws more power than my previous laser printers (an HP and a Lexmark).
2) PAPER CURL! Some reviews have said there’s a slight curl… it’s more than slight. I use standard copier paper. It’s enough to make this printer useless for printing anything serious. I know I could use the straight through path but that’s annoying.
Luckily, it’s wireless so I just put it in another room where it could suck electricity. I was satisfied with it until the paper curl just got to me. It’s just not acceptable.
Another less serious issue was set-up. It took me some time to get the whole thing going on my wireless network. I had to use a combination of USB cable and a download of the Windows 7 software (It doesn’t come with it). I got it going but it wasn’t nearly as painless as my Lexmark.
Judging from all of the printer reviews I have read on Amazon, there is no perfect printer. The power problem is probably one that is unique to a small number of people. The paper curl is going to happen and you just have to decide how picky you are. This printer has a LOT of good features so it’s a toss up.
I will probably be returning this printer.

I bought this printer after reading the “Best Buy” rating in PC World Magazine. The printer is great and easy to use. EXCEPT if you want to print an envelope or print on anything other than standard letter or legal paper. This is because, unlike my HP, it has the slip feed in the back of the unit. Now I have this printer in an enclosure at my desk. To print an envelope, I have to slide the printer all the way out, turn it 90 degrees and fiddle with some levers to print just one envelope. I suppose if you put this printer so it sits sideways on a table, this might work ok, but for me it’s a pain in the butt. Fortunately, I have an HP Color Laser next to it that has a front feed. Too bad, I had such high expectations for this as being my go to printer. I don’t think I’d buy it again, although it seems to be built very well.
