1st Page Out in 8 Seconds,
February 15, 2006 S. Blatner (Redwood City, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dell Laser Black & White Printer 1710 (Electronics)
I felt compelled to write a review on this printer because 1) I was unable to find a review before buying one and 2) HP has a bogus comparison of this printer. This is not a color printer as Amazon states, but a standard black and white laser. It is available for $159 directly from Dell.
I ordered the unit on a Saturday night and it was delivered on Tuesday morning as Dell was offering free 3 to 5 day shipping. Setup for the 1710 was a snap - up and running in 10 minutes. The print quality is excellent and the speed is amazing. The first page out is 8 seconds with additional pages spitting out at 27 ppm. Very simple and easy to operate. The cancel button on top is nice and stops the printer quickly. Fairly quiet when printing and it powers down within seconds after completing a job. The small fan is barely audible when cooling and then shuts off for complete silence.
Dell printers are made by Lexmark. The 1710 is actually a Lexmark E240 in Dell clothing - a...Read more

My FIRST and LAST Dell printer,
December 21, 2008 Robert Beckmann (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I have been a long time, and very satisfied, user of Dell PC's and laptops. The 1710 was my first Dell printer.
Out of the box the first one failed. Would not print. All five status lights blinking; LONG time on the phone with India following the standard script. Unable to resolve. Dell sent a replacement printer.
The replacement one worked for a few weeks, then the very same problem. Dell sent another replacment.
Eight months later the same problem; yet another replacement.
Nine months later the fourth one failed with the same identical problem. Out of warranty now. This one is going to the dump. It is the last Dell printer i will ever buy

Very Happy Owner...,

I've had my 1710 for over a year. I've gone through probably a case or more of paper with it and just now it needs a toner cartridge. That's on a standard cartridge. It prints fast, there are no misfeeds. It has a prompt that shows you how to reload the paper when printing 2-sided. I really love this printer. After having owned probably 20 or more finicky, troublesome ink-jet printers I can't imagine ever going back. The only thing I don't like about it is that Dell has a monopoly on replacement cartidges.
--> I wrote this review 4 years ago and this printer is still going strong. I highly, highly recommend.
