Good Points: Its a good looking printer unlike most laser printers that look like grey boxes. Mega quick print times. Crisp and clear text printing.
Bad Points: Photos have very slight banding, only noticable on close inspection.
General comments: I bought this printer because I was fed up with ink jet cartridges drying up on me; I only print on average once a week, and almost always its text. This printer is perfect for me. It's unbelievably quick my letters are out in less than 21 seconds if it's sleeping (not whirring) and in 12 seconds if it's awake. The text quality is fantastic, way better than I have ever seen on an ink jet. The black and white photos are rendered very well with only very slight banding, it is noticeable but only close up. However if your buying a black and white printer for printing out photos you must be a bit mental. Full A4 size photos come out in 14 seconds from awake. The printer goes into sleep mode after about 5 minutes of non use. The whirring when it's awake is proberly slightly quieter than most peoples cooling fans in their computer, not very loud.
Installation is a piece of cake ( I'm on windows XP ) I wired it all up switched on the printer, the computer notices it and brings up the hardware wizard, stick in the CD that comes with the printer and the hardware wizard finds the driver list, make sure you select the English one :-) and its done. The CD then asks you if you want to install printer utilities I chose not to as the printer works perfectly well without them. If you are after a professional quality printer for your home or small office this is perfect.

I would recommend this Konica Minolta Page Pro, elegantly designed plastic box masquerading as a laser printer to my enemies, certainly not to any friends or strangers.
I followed the instructions (which were written for Windows 2000, NOT XP!!!) meticulously. It insist that one should only use the Konica Minolta software included and not the Windows Hardware installation. However, the software failed to load two .dll's requiring me to manually find the dll's on the cdrom.
Having done that, ...

The Konica Minolta PagePro a good value for money printer compared to other brands. The printing quality is really good and the software that comes with the printer is a user friendly one.
It's a bit noisy though and sometimes you get the paper size error message and the printer stops printing. In this case, just re-align the paper in the paper tray. You can also use a different paper brand (sometimes it helps).
Other than that, the printer is really a good one.

I just bought this Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W laserprinter since my previous inkjet printer (HP Deskjet 990cxi) more or less exploded. I decided not to buy a HP Printer ever again!
First of all: this printer has high value for less money. It cost me € 217, while other laser printers (HP, Canon, Samsong, Brother, ...) with more or less the same price have less memory and fewer dots per inch (usually 600*600dpi).
The printer came properly packed, Konica Minolta did a good job here, so don't wo ...
