I was a little sceptical when I bought this printer, but now that I have connected to my computer, I am very impressed! The speed of printing is definitely as advertised, which is not always so (kinda like the MPG rating of cars?). I printed a 50-page socument in under 3 minutes! The print quality is great, the printer is a nice compact size as far as lasers go, and the toner cartridge is reasonably priced when it needs to be replaced (according to Staples the toner yeilds up to 12,000 pages). Also, this printer has a great monthly output rating, which means it could be used in a small office as well as for personal use. Just a note, I run Linux, so not only is this printer compatible with Windows & Mac, but Linux users should be happy too.All-in-all a great little printer for a great price $$ -- couldn't be happier!
