5 of 5 Works great, feels slightly flimsy, + recommended Saturday, March 14, 2009
Jon from St. Louis, MO  

The printer quality and ease of set-up is awesome. Great documentation. Works very well on my Mac wirelessly with no issues. Print quality looks great. Copy quality too. Has an appropriate sleep mode, and is as compact as you can imagine for such a printer. Very happy with this product. One bit of warning, the printer seems to feel flimsy. Not badly designed, but basically to fit everything in such a small space, the plastics are thin. So, things aren't rigid. The only other issue I found is that the printer got "stuck" wanting a new piece of paper to feed scan after I pulled out a sheet. It wouldn't let me cancel out anyway I could find. That's a VERY minor note. This is a very nice, very inexpensive printer, with separate color cartridges that are available from the "cheap" ink sites. Highly recommended with wireless that works simply out of the box.

A Customer from Kent, CT  
Awesome printer for the money. I caught the deal of a life time on this one. I got it for $81 that with delivery. Can't be happier with the price and the product. The printer quality is surprisingly good. All functions work very well.

5 of 5 Love this printer Saturday, February 28, 2009
Kristi from Glade Hill, Va  
Big leap from my old ink drying up lexmark.Really researched this machine and very glad I bought it. I love it so far. Only had for 4 days now so time will tell but I expect it to last a long time. Very well made and fairly easy to use, though I'm not very printer literate since I have never owned a 4 in 1 but I'm learning.Thanks Buy.com for the fast shipping and excellent price to boot!!!!!!
