I bought this printer about 12 years ago and it was a workhorse...I was surprised that I can still buy one... the old one finally gave up the ghost and I was bound and determined to get another one and I did... best printer I ever bought most reliable too... keep this one on the market.

I've purchased probably 10 of these things over the years (for business purposes - only 1 of 10 has been retired). They take a beating and keep on ticking. We print probably 2000 pages a month on these things. The toner is easily refillable, and inexpensive when you do it yourself.

Very good and cheap all-in-one printer. Only one drawback is no-color scanner. I scan a lot of color images, so this would be a big problem for me. But, for this price, I can't complain.

all in one; cheap

not color scanner
