Xerox Phaser 6280 Color Laser Printer

I learned about this printer from the good reviews on [...], and although it had no reviews (yet) on amazon I decided to give it a shot. I purchased through Price Pros (shipping was much cheaper than others). Item arrived on time. Printer is heavy, so if you're looking for something small and "easily stashable" then this probably isn't for you. I use it for my home office (moderate use) and was sick of spending a fortune on ink jet cartridges so I personally don't care about the size. Setup took about 15 mins (actually pretty simple if you know how to follow directions) and I have it hooked up through an old apple airport wireless router.

Currently have an iMac at the house and use a PC for work (still dreaming for the day when my office will make the switch to Mac). This printer works great on both and setup was just as easy on the windows machine. I wish I had more drama to write about, but it simply works like a charm. Prints fantastic and VERY fast.

Good.
1. Good paper feed.
2. Easy to setup (my printer is wired to my wireless apple router)
3. Works well with Macs (tiger and leopard) and PC (windows xp, although it take longer to setup the windows)
4. Fairly quiet operation and silent sleep mode.

Bad.
1. You have to pull out the large plastic front cover to feed cards, envelopes ect. and it is a bit of pain
2. Heavy stock comeout bit curled.
3. Color quality while very good, I am sure is better on other color printers.

Conclusion.
1. This is my second color printer (I returned the first due to noise of operation) and I will keep this one.
2. I would recommend this printer to most home/small business use.

I needed a good quality color printer to handle medium sized print jobs. I though Xerox would be a good professional brand. I selected this model based on the published specs. That was June 29, 2010.

Upon arrival the printer would not print red. Customer service sent a new cartridge. No change. The tech came out and couldn't fix it. He and the engineer decided to replace the printer. THREE WEEKS LATER I received the new printer. It would not align the black print with color. Many tech visits and replacement parts later, the problem is not fixed. In the meantime, I have to keep calling customer service after each tech visit because there is NO FOLLOW UP from the company. If I don't call and complain nothing happens.

It is now September 17, 2010 and I asked for the unit to be replaced. Customer Service can only send out another tech. It will no doubt take another few weeks when or if I receive a working printer. So THREE MONTHS after buying a XEROX...Read more
