I'm looking for:
1. Color laser
2. Print only (Single function)
3. 100 pages/month (speed is not a factor)
4. Auto duplex
5. Wireless, cheap replacement drums

My previous printer was Fuji Xerox P255dw, a monotone wireless. The wireless printing is so slow like 1-2 page per minute... Guess it's an older model.

Would like to upgrade to a faster wireless and color laser printer, any recommendations?

Having similar problem with my cm205fw....black color printout is very fade, rest of colors are ok. Problem seem to be the compatible black toner cartridge, as other colors cartridge are genuine...

Finally solved my problem following solution here....
http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f109/xerox-phaser-6250-cyan-printing-faintly-303404.html

By changing a new cartridge and printing blocks of rectangle in black only for almost 10 pages, I can see the black color slowly coming back :)

Have a Xerox CP215W bought 2 yrs ago. Exactly the same symptom. Black prints are very fade (they were OK initially), other colours are fine. Using compatible cartridges. I tried the above method, printed more than 20 copies, no joy.

hi there guys. been reading up on monochrome laser printers for home and went thru this whole thread.

After comments here i decided to get the fuji xero p255dw.

Problem is where do i get this model? the ones available commonly now like courts/harvey is only the p225 and p265.
Both these are square and large footprint. im looking at specifically the p255dw.

Any advise?

H folks,

Need advice to replace home inkjet multi-function printer.

1. Mono or Colour: Mono
2. Print, Print Scan Copy (3in1) or Print Scan Copy Fax (4in1): 3in1
3. Printing capacity per month: 20 pages
4. Budget: $250 max
5. Other extra requirement like wireless, iphone printing etc: wifi, auto duplex

Have read through the pages and Fuji Xerox M225dw seem to fit, and the 3 year onsite warranty on the drum seems unique in the market. One negative I find with the FX M225dw is the dimensions.
[Best prices seem to be found at PearlBlue all year round and temporarily at Courts new year sale]

Any others?

TIA!

hi folks, looking for a wireless color copy/print/scan/fax for small office, budgeting 700 - below 1k for the machine

Really quite clueless on such machines, any advice or insights would be much appreciated

No preference between inkjet or laser but would i be right to assume laser is better in the sense the "ink" doesn't dry up as quickly?

thanks in advance and happy new yr

Any recommendations for a multifunction printer that can print both A3 and A4 ?

Got wireless and preferably ADF with auto duplex printing, scanning and copying...can be either mono or color, don't need fax at all...

I have the same issue with my CP115W as well. Black prints very faint and was OK initially. Changed toner also no joy.

Seems like quite a number of folks reported same issue here with their FX color lasers. Feeling very disappointed with FX.

Going to try the print black box method when I get back home today and see if it solves the issue. Already contemplating to throw it away and get a Canon G2000 liao.

I think FX color lasers should not be recommended here at all in view of the reported issues with black fading after using for a while.

Hi guys, looking for a mono laser 3in1 printer. printing quality does not matter, speed does not matter. Only want the scan quality to be OK and the scanned files not too big.

any recommendation? thanks a lot.

got a cheap brother dcp-1610w. Able to serve the purpose
