Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There are plenty of reviews for this printer that go into detail...maybe too much detail. Information = Good. Manifesto = Bad. I don't run a business or anything, just kids in school and the occasional need to print coupons or something. Like a lot of people, I grew insane rotating through inkjet printers. I shouldn't be going through printers more than I do underwear. Inkjet printers work great. When you first get them. But unless you continuously use them, the print heads get violated by the ink or something and you end up with streaks, blotches and half printed papers. If you don't use it...a couple of weeks to a month, you should pretty much just plan on buying another one because no amount of pushing the "clean heads" prompt is going to fix it. So after every winter break, spring break, and summer break...the printer breaks. Good thing you can get one for about $30 now. But that $30+ each time adds up, and I could be using that money for underwear my wife keeps claiming I need to replace. I suppose you could just remember to print something or clean the heads on an inkjet every week. But I don't have or want that kind of relationship with my printer. I just want it to print something when I need it to. Even if I don't even talk to it for a few weeks or more. Since we mostly print text and laser printers aren't supposed to do the same thing , it seemed like the logical choice. So far this one has worked great. I had no problems getting it set up and connected to my wifi and was printing 10 minutes out of the box. Compared to inkjets, it prints insanely fast and the text is much cleaner. Scanning and copying also work really well on it. A couple of times I had to reconnect it to the wifi, but I'm not sure if that was my router or not. It connected again quickly both times. Also recently, it wasn't responding for some reason - everything looked normal, had paper, connected to network - just wouldn't respond for some reason. However, after a restart, it worked fine again. Hopefully that doesn't become an issue. I've only had it for about 6 months now, but very happy that it prints nicely every time - even if you don't talk to it for a while. Because it's a printer. It doesn't need a relationship. It just has to print. Now I just need to change my underwear. FIVE STARS!
