" ... So much better than that crappy HP inkjet printer it replaced. ... Love my new laser printer from Canon. ... "
" ... Then when I printed it would be streaky so more head cleaning and deep cleanig cycles, each time using more of that precious ink. ... And the prices for those ink cartridges . ... plopped the bucks down and bought this b&w laser printer. ... Haven't used up the minimal free toner cartridge yet. ... "
" ... It would be nice to be able to reset after a cartridge change. ... I'm on my second cartridge with 1100 prints. ... The cartridges are easy to find locally. ... "
" ... Cartridges are a lot less expensive than my previous color inkjet printer. ... "
" ... This made my yield very low, maybe 20 or less print jobs before I needed to buy more ink. ... This probably works the same way with the toner, but the yield is very much higher on toner. ... "
" ... I've seen them all, "Dot Matrix" black, dot matrix color, then many, many "Ink Jets", mostly Epson, since they were there in the beginning. ... These Toner Cartridges will last me "forever". ... "
" ... Have had many wireless ink jet printers who kept disconnecting from the network. ... "
" ... This is the 3rd Canon laser printer I purchased for our household. ... "
