Panasonic KX-FLB801 All-in-One Flatbed Laser Fax Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went into this with a good feeling about Panasonic. I owned a KPX1138 dot matrix back in the day and it lasted nine years. My last printer was the Brother 8300 MFC laser. When I shop for laser I look for the cost of the toner vs. the output. So many have only 2000pgs and this one went with 6000 which is right there with the Brother. I avoided the Brother because of reviews on this site about thin plastic breaking, with several customers.
So, we get this Panasonic and try printing some pages, the very first of which are "wavy" at the top. You know how the heat and rollers of laser printers can make paper curl a little, well imagine waves, five of them at the top. This isn't being picky, the pages were not presentable unless as an art project with 3d elements.
So the service department said to fax them the damaged pages, yea, I know, either through the roller or on the flat bed these weren't going to show up, but they argued, so I did. No response, so I called back the next day and talked a women into letting me send a jpeg from a digital camera. Then I called back and they hadn't the received the pics, but it was the third call about the same problem, which meant they wanted to send a new, (refurbished) unit to me. I figured I would bite the bullet on that, my boss wanted to print some large docs and I just wanted this to work. They sent the refurbished unit, and it did look new and yet the same wavyness was there in the printed pages, but in a lesser form. (Yes I was using the required weight and cotton content paper.)
I suggested that maybe it was the drum, they said it couldn't be and sent another unit. I was still holding onto the original in the case that I might return it to Amazon. The third unit was not properly refurbished, scratches on the LCD panel and smears on the front as well as a missing piece, but at this point I didn't care, as long as it worked, but it didn't, at all, nothing.
Three strikes, time to try out Amazon's return policy, which is great, I printed the free return mailing label on our inkjet and brought it to UPS and though it was over, except DHL showed up this morning, with another replacement. I sent it back unopened.
Anyone know of a good dependable Laser/Fax/Scanner with decent volume printing on reasonably priced toner cartridges? Or am I looking for a mythological beast in a cold corporate world?

HP OJ7310XI All in One OfficeJet Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We use a number of these printers at work and they do an excellent job. The best overall printer I have used for desktop printing. For work orders I use the draft setting and it is really fast. The memory card port is really handy for viewing/uploading pictures.

HP Officejet Pro L7680 All-in-One - Multifunction ( fax / copier / printer / scanner ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 35 ppm (mono) / 34 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 35 ppm (mono) / 34 ppm (color) - 250 sheets - 33.6 Kbps - Hi-Speed USB, 10/100 Base-TX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since purchasing this printer on December 1, we have had nothing but trouble. It has affected the functioning of many programs and keeps kicking us off the internet. The kicker was when microsoft shut down the computer to save us from having a memory dump, and in the error report said the problem is the drivers with this printer and that HP is aware of it. We contacted HP who gave us a fix and it is somewhat better, but still kicks us off the internet. Always loved our previous HP printers but this one is better to avoid. We're returning it, sadly.

Hewlett Packard 1020 Plain Paper Fax Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pretty much every major annoyance you've encountered in a fax machine is present in this thing. First, I receive faxes on a daily basis and the 25 or so blank pages I can insert are not enough. If I try and put more than 25 pages in it will jam or feed two or more pages at one time. Second, you can see the wire attachment catches the faxes we send. What about the faxes we receive? It spits them out on the bottom to land all over the desk or floor. Hey HP - this isn't rocket science here. Don't you think buyers would've liked some kind of tray to catch the incoming faxes? Third, (and most annoying) it simply doesn't work properly. Even though it's supposed to detect the difference, about one in four incoming faxes are picked up by the internal answering machine instead of the fax. Fourth, the answering machine will come on if someone calls and you don't pick up in four rings. Other machines can detect if you pick up another line and usually stop the message. This one can't.
Is there anything good about it? Well, if the fax connection is successful it does print ok faxes at about one page per 30 seconds to one minute. It's quiet for a fax since it's basically an inkjet printer. Scans of basic black text copy ok, but it's evident the page was scanned, photocopies still look better. Definitely don't use it to copy pages that need to have a professional look.
I've returned this once already, the replacement is just as bad. This model has just too many problems for me to be able to recommend it to anyone.
Hope the review helped.

Brother MFC9600 Flatbed Laser Multifunction Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought the MFC9600 in early 2000. It appears to have all the popular functions integrated into a nicely designed unit. However, after 3 months of light usuage, serious problems started to appear. First bands started to appear on the copied pages. Changing the toner cartridge did not help. Then the paper feeder for the flatbed started jaming paper. Forget about faxing multi-page documents. We started calling the "beast", the "paper eating machine". It does a "better job" in shredding paper than faxing or copying, if you have to use the paper feeder. Even the faxed document comes out to be with disappointing poor quality.
This product appears to have the right idea of including highly integrated office automation functions. It just does not have the quality that makes this to be the workhorse for a small office. We ended up buying an HP 3200 to do the faxing and laser printing and still trying to figure out what to do with the MFC9600 that we bought.

Lexmark AIO All-In-One Dual Cartridge Inkjet Printer X5070 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this printer after looking at a number of others. I thought it was a nice printer with great price for all of the features it had.
After taking the printer out of the box, it only took about 10 minutes to set up. There was a big sheet in the box with illustrations and step by step instructions. Also, the software CD guides you through the set up. Once again, a very quick and easy set up. I was up and printing in 10 minutes!
The printer works great. It prints text very fast and color text with photos fairly quickly too. The scanner, copier, and fax work great. I have not had any problems. I've been running about 50 sheets of paper in the tray and have not had one paper jam.
I also like the fact that there is a telephone handset on the unit so you can use it as a land line if necessary.
All and all I found it to be a nice, reliable, all in one printer with a very affordable price. I would recommend this printer to others.

HP LaserJet 3015 All-in-One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because I already have an HP laser printer which is far and away the best printer I have ever owned. I am sure this all-in-one is a solid HP product. But I am writing this review to alert buyers that this is an "all-in-one-minus-one. I hope to prevent a mistake similar to mine.
The "no flatbed scanner" in a couple of reviews did not sink in as I was shopping late at night, so I ordered the machine.
When the machine arrived, the light dawned: YOU CAN ONLY COPY USING THE AUTOMATIC SHEET FEEDER. There is NO WAY to copy a page from a book or any non-normal paper source. Thanks to Amazon for their reasonable return policy, but I'm out the cost of 2-way shipping for my dumb mistake. Hopefully this will alert those looking for a more versatile copier of this regrettable limitation.

Brother FAX-1860c Color Inkjet Fax, Copier, Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product to use strictly to send and receive black and white faxes for a 5 person office. It worked great until the color cartridges dried up. After 6 months I had to purchase a set of color ink cartridges just to print out the black and white faxes. A call to Brother's customer service revealed that there is no way around this problem. To spend $45 every 6 months on wasted consumables makes no sense to me! The machine has been fast and trouble free and does produce clear faxes and copies. We have not used the phone feature.

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item because I sometimes have problems with my internet service.
My printer is a MFC490CW, so it's wifi.
With this wire I don't have to worry about not being able to print things for college because my internet isn't working.
This cable was incredibly inexpensive and works like a charm!
Hopefully, I will switch ISP soon and will not have the problem anymore!

Brother MFC-9120CN High Quality Digital Color All-in-One Printer with Fax and Networking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this Brother printer to replace an HP 2840 color laser. I like the Brother. It's smaller and quieter. It doesn't have to calibrate a couple times a day either. Scans are way faster than the HP and the scan quality if far better than the HP. Copies and printing are great, as expected. I don't ever fax so I can't address it's capabilities there.
I found one limitation with this printer that prevented me from giving it five stars. The printer can only be used as a network printer attached to the router via an Ethernet cable or it can be a workstation printer supporting one PC attached via a USB cable. If your using Windows networking to share the printer (i.e. it's connected to one PC via USB and enabled for print sharing), it's not supported. What? You got it. Brother won't let you share the printer other than to have it setup as a network printer attached to the router.
This is an issue if, like me, the router is nowhere near the printer and you want to do a lot of scanning using the PC based utilities vs. the little screen on the printer. You can scan with it as a network printer but you can only do it using the function keys on the printer itself. You lose the benefits of the PC software based approach. If you do any volume of scanning, you want the PC utilities enabled.
I was able to work around the problem and get it working like I wanted but it took a couple days working on and off to sort out. I called Brother technical support. They kindly told me the printer doesn't support what I wanted to do and I should return the product. What? Unbelievable!!
To get it to work as a shared USB attached printer, you have to go through the CD install process on each PC. That's okay once you understand that's the process.
The only remaining limitation is quickly setting up a temporary shared user. Say your brother-in-law is in town for the weekend and needs to print. He can't use the Windows "Add a printer" function and get to your Brother printer. You have to go find the CD and do a full install for your brother-in-law to print his Mapquest directions home. It's not a huge problem but Brother should not have designed it this way.
Hope it helps somebody.
