Okidata Digital Mono Laser Printer (62427301)

We used an Okidata OL400 for over 12 years. It still printed fine, but the paper feed became problematic. We don't print photos or other color pages, and preferred the OL400 over any of the HP ink jets we worked with.

So, another monochrome toner based printer was our best bet. Toner packs, especially the larger 7,000 page size, require fewer changes and are less expense per page than ink jet cartidges. The B4600 has a similar footprint as the OL400 and the same or improved capabilities, so it seemed the likely choice.

We've only had it for a few weeks, but are pleased with the set-up so far. The cooling fan is louder and it does run longer after printing the last page than the OL400, but the per page speed of the new printer is much faster... I'll take that trade-off. It has a larger paper tray, so running a larger print job (100 pages or more) at one time is easier than the old printer. The installation was simple and since the functions are similar to...Read more

First of all, I am student and am constantly printing off all sorts of stuff for school. I had a color HP inkjet all-in-one that worked well, except for the fact that ink printers smear and the replacement ink is so expensive.

I finally figured out that the easiest way was to download the driver from the Oki website.

After that, I starting printing like an office supply nerd in Kinkos! It does everything that I need it to. It prints pictures with decent resolution. It prints text wonderfully. It is silent when not in use, and quiet when it is warming up/cooling down. This printer is wicked fast (as compared to inkjet) and the start up time is excellent as well. The toner capacity (thus far) is great. I have printed 800-1000 pages and we're still plugging away (with the toner that...Read more

Okidata laser printer purchase was a mistake. I printed a letter on bond paper, folded the letter to stuff into the envelope and the toner smudged. Second attempt to print on bond paper was also unsuccessful. Attempted to print an envelope. Roller mechanism would not draw in the envelope and an error message was displayed. What a terrible product! I sent back the Okidata laser printer to Amazon for credit. Purchased an HP laser Jet Printer (multifunction print scan copy fax). The HP product is superior!
