I've had this piece of rubbish for about three months now.

Initially, I was impressed by the seeming value I was getting - a reasonably snappy colour laser printer for next to nothing, as far as colour lasers go.

However, a number of bugbears soon raised their ugly heads:

1) Print quality: The print quality is grainy, and not nearly as sharp as my 10-year-old HP Laserjet 4L. The quality is comparable to a mid-range bubble-jet. What's more, darker, dense colours tend to create a dense "smear" on the paper, which seems to get rubbed off as the paper moves through the machine's innards.

2) It overheats: Long printing runs will cause the printer to halt, which requires a switch-off and cooldown. This forces you to count pages to restart the run, and double-sided printing becomes an absolute nightmare.

3) Poor reliability of the printing mechanism: After about two months, the black started becoming streaky, and has come to the point where black printing is almost invisible. The printer reports 83% black toner remaining. I've tried all the troubleshooting tips but nothing works. It appears as if the black toner transfer roller is being starved. There may be a blockage, but whether it's in the cartridge or the main unit, remains a mystery.

All in all, I can only reiterate what has been said before: You get what you pay for. I regret buying this printer, and Xerox really ought to have thought twice about releasing such a poorly tested product to a market segment that represents lots of people dipping their toes into the colour laser waters.

Not recommended.
