Ricoh SP-213w Laser Printer

Decent printer

So far so good. Decent printer for small money. Great quality prints, fast and expected to be good value for money as it's been promissed to print 700 pages with starter cartridge.

Setting up this printer is a separate story. Manuals are too complicated and confusing. Thanks to one customer's review on Amazon I was able to set it up quickly.

First set up WiFi on printer (easy way described in manual) and only after that insert CD in your computer and set it up as a Network printer. If you do things in different order or decide to go through USB cable setup you might end up spending an hour on that.Read full review

Great price no instructions and the ink it comes with does NOT do 700 pages

Ideal starter printer and the price is great! However a little searching on the internet for the drivers and lack of instructions, if you have no idea on printers you may be better going elsewhere!>
The ink it comes with states 700 pages! Well 120 sheets in (only simple text) and its out so I would buy another cartridge at the same time.

Good print, fast and when set up it works well! as a second printer/back up this is ideal but not as a main printer!Read full review

Ricoh SP 213w Laser Printer

The Ricoh SP 213w Laser Printer arrived very quickly and took only minutes to set up. Firstly, I was impressed with the build quality of a printer costing less than most toner catrridges. I have an old computer running Windows XP and thought I might have problems with a printer driver but it was there and worked faultlessly first time. I am printing using a directly connected cable as my old computer doesn't have wifi or bluetooth or any wireless capabilit so I can't comment on any of those features. It does exactly what I need it to do and produces top quality prints. I am printing a self penned book using the double sided printing feature which requires me to print odd and then even pages, manually turning the paper over. I can do this a chapter at a time and it is no hardship whatsoever as it only takes a few seconds to do. Overall a very impressive printer. I don't know how many pages I will get out of the starter printer cartridge (a full capacity cartridge is not supplied). I just hope the replacement works as well as this one. I would rate this product five stars or give it a score of ten out of ten and recommend it to family and friends.Read full review

Nice printouts

Easy set up if you use the USB and remember not to connect until prompted to do so. Lovely sharp, clear printouts although I did find that the cartridge didn't last long. Someone told me to take the cartridge out, give it a shake and reinsert it. I'll try that next time.
I you're into 'foiling' this is the printer for you, as foiling only works with toner printed images done on a black and white printer.
Easy to use.Read full review

WiFi Printer

Bargain quality USB printer with very reasonably priced toner, but... This printer is obviously heavily discounted (£40 for a lazerjet printer) due to the lack of Ethernet connectivity and a very clunky WiFi configuration. If you can buy this printer at this knock-down cost (£40) and you are prepared to deal with a frustrating WiFi configuration procedure it's worth a punt. If all else fails it configures as a USB printer. The WiFi configuration may well be a "wing and a prayer" exercise.

All that stated, it is a great machine once up and running on WiFi. It has not lost it's configuration even after being switched for days at a time.Read full review

A first class printer at a very good price

I bought this laser printer to replace an ageing inkjet. It arrived very promptly, was quite easy to set up and had a smaller footprint than did the previous machine. I like the quality of the print, which is far superior to the inkjet (although it is monochrome rather than colour, but that was not a requirement).

Whilst the printer set up was easy enough, it did require a little knowledge of networking to allocate a static IP address to the printer (otherwise the router would allocate a different one every time it was booted, which was irritating). The details are all in the documentation, but rather hidden away in the (comprehensive) technical manual.

Overall this is a very good machine for a remarkable price.Read full review

So easy to use

On setting up had a lot of information, for once I thought too much. I decided to use the easy set up and that's what it is, was easy to set up easy to use and good quality. Cant evaluate running costs as I only use a printer occasionally, that has always been a problem with ink jets heads always drying out. I could not believe the price of this one ditched both my wireless ink jet and non wireless laser printerRead full review

Great printer

I very rarely use my printer and was getting fed up with ink cartridges drying out so decided to make the move to a toner based printer. For £30 this is great, print quality's excellent and being a toner it won't dry out.Read full review

Fuss free, pin sharp printing.

Got sick of occasionally used inkjets gumming up. Finally decided to use a laser printer. This one seems pretty good. Warms up quickly, is quiet and gives excellent print.

God product but slight complication with setup on windows 10

It's a great WiFi printer with good speed, decent quality, plus a free starter toner for a very good price.
The cd Driver Installer doesn't work on Windows 10, so after a while of trying to figure it out on my own I contacted Ricoh Help desk and they guided me with clear instructions on how to set it up.
Since then, I've been enjoying the printer.Read full review
