After yet another frustrating episode with an older Epson inkjet printer, I picked this little fella up on sale.

If you just need clean, crisp, black and white printing, this is a good choice. I have had no operating concerns with it - it does what it claims to do. It isn't the fastest out there, it doesn't have the best resolution for graphics, but for my needs it is perfect.

Over the long haul, you're looking at a cost-per-page of between three and four cents, which I assume is about average.

It has separate drum and toner units (a good thing), it is relatively small and unobtrusive, simple enough to be attractive without being in any way stunning.

I give it five stars not because this is an outstanding product, but because it does its job competently without making any excessive claims about itself. Depending on your budget, you may well prefer another printer.

I bought this little laserjet to print transparencies but the output quality of the graphics is very poor even with the resolution set to 600x1200 dpi. For text it is very good, fast, easy to set up and reliable. No USB cable included which seems to be the standard now. Would I recommend it? well if you want a cheap laserjet just to print out text document then go for it but if you want decent graphics and halftones then you will have to flex the credit card a bit and spend quite a bit more. I've given my Minolta to the kids and bought a much better laserjet.

I've had this printer for about a year. Worked fine for the first month or two, then it started overheating after about 5 pages printed at a time. Useless Konica Minolta tech support said it's a "spooler issue" with Windows XP, which is definitely not the case. If I waited a few minutes, then printed another 5 or so pages, it prints fine... if I don't wait it will return an error. Tech support refused to RMA the printer because they said the problem had to do with my OS.
I bought another computer a few months ago and surprise surprise, same problem. You have no idea how annoying it is wasting 2 hours printing a 50 page document with this garbage. As soon as I can find a replacement for a good price I'm smashing this thing to pieces and never getting another Konica Minolta product.
