Very good
By Wade
The printer arrived well packaged and the instructions were clear. The installation was smooth.

My first printouts on 22 and 24 lb laser papers seemed mediocre. Then I tried some of the expensive premium color laser sheets and was startled to see how good they looked. I am a light user and don't print many photos. So I may dump my inkjet if this printer continues to perform at this level.

I am also very pleased with the auto deep sleep mode which means I never have to turn the printer on or off. This is also the quietest laser I've ever owned.

UPDATE: Because of the good results after nearly three months, I've upgraded this to five stars and given away my HP and Canon inkjet printers. The printer manual says the included start-up toners will produce about 1,000 pages which seems to correspond to what I am getting.

Very good printer - but if photo printing is critical use inkjet!! (not laser)
By Dave
I have this printer and it does a great job with text and graphics. Photo printing is just OK but that's typical of most color laser printers. If photo printing is critical then go Photo Inkjet or use a professional service.

I compared a color photo printout from this printer against my HP and Lexmark color laser printers and I'd put this printer better then HP but below Lexmark but the differences are very subtle and at a few inches away there is no difference. My other comment is if you want to print photos then use the best premium laser paper you can find. (not all purpose office paper)

Setup was super easy. I plugged in the USB cable and W8 automatically recognized it. (no drivers to load) I did not try wireless since I have no need.

One of the negatives is that there are currently no aftermarket toner cartridge options. However you can refill the starter cartridges and reset them without replacing chips or reset gears. It's all done from the control panel. (search youtube for the procedures). I'm not deducting any stars for this.

I did find that printing laser shipping labels came out mediocre. I think the fuser did not get hot enough to fuse the toner to this type of paper. The solution from the users guide worked great. (ie check that box that says improve toner fixing and select thick paper) After that the labels looked great.
