Man, does that thing hum! Scanning is super fast and also quite sharp, the copy function is very hand to have, and the printer (21 ppm) also does duplexing. A week or so ago I stumbled across a Brother DCP-L2540DW (print, copy, scan) that a lawyer friend of mine had and didn't use much, so I bought it from him.
I never did get around to fixing the paper jam problem, but it wasn't a big deal. I think I had mentioned (maybe in another thread) about how pleased I was with the Brother scanner/printer/copier. Fortunately, he also threw in unopened genuine HP toners for the three that were low, so I'm pretty well set.Īlso - re: Brother. Oh yeah - the toners are about used up, and they cost the earth to replace. My son, who is a graphic artist, says they used one of these years ago and he had nice things to say about it. Well, he didn't use it much, and he was moving in with his girlfriend, so he just gave it away.Įven let me use his truck to get it home (it weighs about 125 pounds or so), but he only lived a couple of miles from my place. The guy was sent up here from another part of the country and gave him the printer to use. If you are patient you can also pickup genuine toners too for about 30 bucks each on eBay as well.Sorry for resurecting an old threrad, but I stumbled on an HP 5550 locally - for free. This is a tank and will last forever between toners. If size isn't an issue you can get an old HP 4700DTN (or 5500 etc) off eBay for a steal of a couple hundred bucks. (The Ricoh also comes with a separate waste toner bin which is good because then you don't have to buy whole new carts or otherwise buy a toner vacuum to suck the toner out - you just buy a new waste toner bin for $10 after 20,000+ prints (10 refills of each cartridge or more). Print quality is great (although inkjets are going to be the winners for photos, color lasers are for documents/presentations). Toner is easy to refill - get some salvage cardboard, couple philips heads screws on the side of the cart, squeeze toner in, close and put screws back. Part of that $12 is a $1 chip to tell the printer that the cartridge is new (super easy to replace, you pop the first one out with a flat head screwdriver and then tape the new one on with scotch tape whenever you swap it). The OEM toner is $$$$ but you can refill the existing carts for about $12 each ($48 total across the four carts) for 2000+ pages. The device is massive (still countertop, but wide/deep), very well built but actually review the dimensions and weight. It uses the same toner carts as the Ricoh SP C261SFNw which adds a printer/scanner/fax along with Apple Airprint and Google Cloud Print support.
I have a Ricoh SP-C250DN (goes on sale for $69 occasionally on Slickdeals).
