After I ran through the first cartridges, I've had to replace twice within a month. The printer keeps saying that toner is low. This is for a home and we have not even passed the 1,000 page mark. I would rather consider this a purely disposable printer, do not waste your time or additional money on new cartridges.

I purchased this printer and initially really liked it. The problem comes when the toner starts to die out, then hold on to your wallet...
1. The Toner doesn't last anywhere near as long as it claims to...
2. Then, when you replace the cartridge with new toner either it still won't print - even after all the obvious preparations - or it will print for a while and then show the "Toner Error" message.
Of course, you cannot continue to print even though you 'know' you just put a new toner in.
This is a bad - very bad printer. If you want headaches then purchase it...Don't say I didn't warn you...

Purchased this printer for a small business. Printer is fairly loud, but acceptable. However we are NOT pleased with the toner life. Have printed 1350 monochrome copies, replacing the original black cartridge once and now needing to replace again. Toner life bar shows full. But immediately following the first replacement we began getting "replace toner" messages again. We've taken all cartridges out and replaced them and cleaned the wires (which, may I say was a total pain in the butt...who designed this thing???) On the up side, print quality is good and we've never experienced paper jamming issues. Overall, not satisfied.

The Good:
Very easy to setup
Nice quality prints
Lots of features for the price
The Bad:
Toner consumption is very high
Color toner is pricy (look it up)
Expansion memory impossible to find
Overall:
I got 655 pages of color printing before using up the toner in all three color carts using the default settings. That's way off the 1,500 estimated pages listed for the standard carts. The vast majority of those are simple webpage printouts. Still like the printer, but it's not quite the deal I thought it was.
