Perfect Printer for My Needs
Funny thing about the reviews for this printer. Nearly all of the negative reviews had to do with how difficult it was to set up on a network. For me, this was the easiest printer I've ever set up. On two of the printers, all I did was open the Settings program and click on Add a Printer, only to find that it was already there and ready to use. On two other printers, I actually had to press the Setup key and wait three seconds. Done, and ready to use. These were all Windows 10 computers. If you have Macs, who knows?
Separately, I bought the auxiliary 500-sheet paper feeder. The installation process consisted of stacking the printer on the paper feeder. Alignment pins guided it into place, and that was it. Ready to use.
Print quality is excellent. Operation is quiet and print speed is good. Others have commented on the high cost of new cartridges, and I agree, they are not cheap. But even using the OEM cartridges (which I will do, because I've never gotten satisfactory results from aftermarket or refilled cartridges in other printers) the cost works out to 11 cents per print--compared with 18 cents for the comparable Xerox Phaser.
I guess the only remaining question is durability. If it craps out a couple of months from now, I'll change my rating, but at this point I have no complaints whatsoever.
