Need a good re-shippable Laser Printer

My company is conducting training in new markets. This involves shipping training equipment, and then re-shipping that equipment to the next location.
We found that despite removing toner and taping up the toner openings, the last model of laser printer we used didn't re-ship well. It would be opened with toner everywhere and be un-usable. I'm not sure if this is a problem just with our printer; it is the one we use in our stores (Kyocera FS-4020DN KX) and not an HP model.
My boss wants to go with an HP printer. I'm looking for a monochrome laser printer that can do at least 20ppm and be "re-shippable" for under $500. We just use it for printing text reports. Any suggestions?

I've had my HP 1500 Series AIO for 6 years. It is old technology but the thing still works and I won't get rid of it until it stops working. I have the thing hooked up to my Apple Extreme Base Station so I can print "wirelessly" from this iMac. I had the same arrangement with my old PowerBook G4 and could print from anywhere in my house. I have to hook the printer directly to the computer to scan and to do diagnostics.
When it comes time for me to get a new printer, I'll look at the ratings in Consumer Reports. I'll also seriously consider another HP unless they have been severely downrated.

Looking for recommendations for a good small color laser printer

My trusty Canon inkjet is on its last legs and I am considering getting a color laser printer.
I need it to have ethernet so all computers on my home LAN can print to it.
I am currently looking at the Samsung CPL-315W and the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer.
Pros: Samsung is smaller than the HP
Samsung toner is cheaper
HP print quality is rumored to be better
Cons:
Samsung toner is more difficult to find locally
HP printer is more expensive ($309 compared to $199)
If you have any advice or experience with these printers, I would appreciate it.

hi cejones,
Did you end up finding a printer?
I'm looking as well. I have the Samsung clp-510 and while it's very reliable, the UI for mac is terrible. So terrible in fact that I still have it connected to a PC b/c their UI is much better for controlling colour etc..
i'm looking for a wireless solution.
Cheers

Good all round Laser printer, for Photo's and general use please?

Hi there,
i'm in the market for a new printer. I need a Laser printer which uses PCL for general work tasks, and for outside of work, something that can produce quality photo prints.
Any suggestions?

The laser technology is such that it does not produce photo quality prints.
Laser printers are producing the illusion of color by using only Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
If you want photos and not just "pictures" you need to look at ink jet or dye-sub printers.

Need Help on choosing Color Laser Printer

Hello Everyone;
I am strugling to decide which Laser Colour Printer to buy, and I need some advice; I have the following options so far:
HP 2605dn
Brother HL-4070CDW
Oki C3400n
I only found here reviews for the HP, and they were mostly all negative, a lot of users complaining about the speed when printing in color.
But couldn't find reviews for the other two, only posts regarding the lack of drivers for them. Is there anyone who have used the above printers on a Mac succesfully?
Any comment would help. Can anyone review the Oki and/or the Brother printer?
This is what I need from my printer:
Relatively fast on a Mac
Duplex (is not a must but would be nice)
Wireless Printer (again is not a must, but it would be awesome)
Color printing
Basically I will use it at home for personal use: newsletters, some documents, etc.
Many Thanks!

Take a look at the Canon line. By that, I mean the output.

Need a Color Laser Printer!

I am looking for a good quality color laser printer that is compatible with OSX 10.8.4.
Most times I will be printing text documents in B&W, but also do some graphics work and need good quality images.
Looking at the HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 Color M551DN and the Brother MFC 9560CDW
Any thoughts??

Second nod for Brother. We have a monochrome laser of theirs. Very dependable, and much, MUCH cheaper consumables than HP.
The Xerox 6500DN also gets very good marks for the price. We had a 6280DN at one time, and it was also very good. The only reason we sold it was because we replaced it with a tabloid size Xerox 7500DN. There wasn't any need to keep both.

Compatible Stationary Color Laser Printer:

Which printers that are color laser printers
with stationary cartridges (cartridges that do NOT move when printing) lol.
that are compatible with Apple Mac OS 10.4.11
AND
A Power PC G3 Processor????????????????
I have a Samsung CLP 300 Color Laser Printer with stationary cartridges ("NO-NOIS")
But the software says "Sorry this software requires a G4 Processor which this system does not have".
Very Annoying. }=[
It works...but the printing comes out terrible. Everything is smashed together on the left side of the page. Whether it is text or images.
I recently learned that Samsung, even with their "NO-NOIS" stationary cartridges, has very limited Mac compatibility. =[ It is just like google software. (excellent software but not made for macs).
I do not care if the printer is big or not. I just want a compatible color laser printer with not moving cartridges. (I had an HP color laser printer with moving cartridges...which is the component that broke). So which printers are similar to Samsungs, but with better compatibility????????
I have an idea that makes sense: Since I am using Apple computer, then why not connect an Apple Printer???? lol. I can get an "old" Apple Color Laser Printer. However, do the cartridges move? I hope they do not move.

Very Important Update!!!!!!! =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =]
I got it to work. I had it plugged into the original USB 1.0 ports and all I did was plug it into the USB 2.0 PCI Card that I added to it recently.
And that is all that it needed. Everything prints perfectly... word processor documents, images, and anything else. So this means that whenever I need to get a color laser printer I will just get anything that I can find on ebay. ( I am going to put a color laser printer for each desktop and perhaps a few for the laptops when I repair them. ) I am very happy about this; I was probably going to have to spend $400.00USD for a confirmed compatible color laser printer but now I don't have to worry about that expense. I really like color laser printers because they are easier to print because the fused toner won't run like ink would. I have HP PSCs, which print (in ink) so I don't use them to print, only to scan...so I have one connected to a USB 2.0 port and I am downloading software to see if it will scan. I am probably going to post a question about scanning... but this question about printing has been solved. =]

Looking for a good laser printer for OSX 10.6.8

I need a decent laser printer. Using Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8. I've given up trying to get the drivers to work on our office Xerox Workcentre 7328. I keep getting the "OTC at end of life" error and I'm sick of trying to download drivers and try this and that. All I need is to print text. I will buy a separate scanner for scanning pictures (any recommendations on that as well?). I have been seeing issues with Lion and with our Xerox troubles, I'm a little gun shy now. I was considering the Brother Printer HL2230 I saw on Amazon.
Does anyone have other recommendations or experiences to share? As far as the scanner goes, I'm looking for something for less than $100 if possible. This would be mostly for scanning pictures to put into slide shows. I found this one, also on Amazon: Epson Perfection V300 Photo Scanner (B11B193081)
Opinions?

If you want to avoid any trouble in the future with new versions of OS X then as Bob has suggested the best action is to get a laser printer that supports Postscript. Looking at the specs for that Brother, it is a GDI device, meaning that may have rely on Brother producing an updated driver if the current driver does not work on the new OS. Now if you are not likely to update when the new cat is released then you should be fine. And there is also a chance that the current drivers will work. But Postscript support does future proof your printer, although it will cost more than $80 which is very cheap. If you do get that Brother make sure you also get the high yield toner cartridge which is a separate purchase. The starter cartridges included with the printers generally have a quarter of the toner that a full cartridge has.
As for the scanner, I've read good reviews about that Epson so it looks like a winner.

Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

Hi all,
I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
I need:
- Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
- SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
Optionally:
- 2nd paper feed tray
I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
Thx for your advace,
S.

I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

I use a Brother HL-2070N on my home net. It's small, it's cheap, it's fast, and it prints text very well. It's not so good with graphics. (Noticeable banding with some files.) It's a Bonjour printer, so just plug it into Ethernet and it'll show on the net, no problems. (You can turn Bonjour off and just set up a fixed IP if you want.) So long as you have a wireless router of some kind you'll find it simple to add the 2070N to your network.
The 2070N also works with Windows machines without complaint.

Need laser printer

I am planning to buy Mac Pro 15". I am looking for a laser printer to print from Mac Pro, Iphone ,iPad and windows XP. I print once may in a month and tax forms.
Any recommendation please. Thanks in advance for help.

AirPrint compatibility is a requirement for your iPads and iPhones.
Nearly all recently produced laser printers will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X. For that reason Brother and Canon are good choices, followed rather distantly by Epson. Other manufacturers are not worth considering.
Wireless printers are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. All AirPrint printers are wireless, but not all wireless printers are AirPrint - compatible.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
Consider AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

Need advice on choosing laser printer for use w/Illustrator

I know there are a few other threads out there on printers but I'm hoping to get answers specific to my situation. I need a laser printer that isn't astronomically priced and as big as a warehouse. Basically we send all our stuff to outside printers, but need a good printer for proofing our work. Currently using an HP 4200n supplied to us (4 artists) by our company. We'd like to get a printer just for the artists, which will give us better quality than this one which seems a basic office printer.
We're also printing on basic office paper - what type paper would you recommend for graphics to look clean and sharp?
Criteria are:
1 - higher resolution - up to 1200dpi
2 - color preferred but not necessary
3 - wysiwyg so it will match what we're doing on screen (95% of our work is grayscale graphics)
4 - not so costly the company will refuse to purchase for us (initial cost and supplies)
Thanks to all who reply - also like to hear what to stay away from.

To Jacob's advice, I would add...
1. If you have the choice between genuine Adobe PostScript and a third-party emulation, go for the former. Unfortunately, this will cost you more money.
2. Unless you are dealing only with small-sized printed pieces -- that is to say, smaller than letter-size -- you really need to consider a large-format (e.g., tabloid size) laser. If your laser maxes out at letter-size (or legal-size) and your printed piece trims to letter-size, you'll need to reduce output to print out things like spreads, bleeds, printer's marks, etc. And if you can't proof at 100 percent (i.e., actual size), that's a huge disadvantage. Yes, you could print things out in sections and tape them together, but that will get old fast. Unfortunately, a tabloid-size PostScript laser will really set you back some bucks... not to mention some serious desktop real estate.
If you are budget-constrained, you should probably not rule out inkjet options.

Need a good, inexpensive printer

We are need of a new, inexpensive printer. We have a Mac OS X 10.6.8. We are currently using a Canon MX340. The printer works fine, but there is no option to choose black and white printing...not in Pages, Numbers, or for an internet page. It does everything in color. We had an older printer that did black and white with the Mac, with no problem at all. Because of how many coupons I print though, we eat up the color ink cartridge every month. Other than that, we don't print a lot. We mainly print my coupons, tickets to events, and a few internet pages here and there. I just want to option to print things in black and white. It won't print in grayscale (or whatever the Mac equivalent is). So, we use massive amounts of black and color ink on every page.
I have talked to Apple and Canon. Both say it is the other's issue. Just want to be done with this printer.
Any recommendations for inexpensive printers (less than $100) that you know will give you the option to print in black and white AND choose the type of draft that you want?

You can buy most major brand home use style printers for very little. That's because they know their profit will come in the consumables.
If your usual need is for black and white I would go for a laser printer, and I wouldn't be too retiscent about buying an older laser like an HP 4050n or something similar off eBay. We have this older HP, the cartridges seem to last forever and are really cheap to replace. Our printer tech says "those things are built like a tank".
We also have a new Dell 1250c color laser (actually the newer LED technology). Once again cheap to buy, cartridges run about $70 for each color but do last a long time.
I don't think I'll ever fall into the trap of color inkjets again.
I believe the bottom line is look at the cost of consumables.

Looking for a good black and white laser printer

I am sorry if I am at a wrong place, but I would like to get some recommend for a good black and white laser printer. Maybe some of the user in this group have some good experience
Thanks in advance - Frank

The Brother HL-5340D is an excellent choice. It's much cheaper to operate in the long run than others. I did a cost breakdown between it and an HP printer here.
However the HL-5340D is discontinued. We paid $170 for ours new, and new ones that remain are at a price gouging $530. The current nearest model is the updated HL-5450DN for $185.
