Very cheap compatible toners for this (around £20 for a full set).

i have this printer - 1st set of toners lasted forever, bought set off ebay for £20. unlike inkjets - it works everytime - even when i have not used it for weeks so no drying up and wasting loads of ink trying to get it to work. working on windows 7 and windows 10

Did we stop teaching maths in schools??

Why would you spend well over £100 extra on carts to preserve the warranty on a £99 printer?

For a bargain forum, we seem to have a serious lack of grasp on value ;0

As above, you can buy some excellent sets for under £20, husband buys these ones Here for his home office set up, never been any problems at all

Very cheap compatible toners for this (around £20 for a full set).

Like most printers it's not only the price of the printer . you need factor in the cost of the cartridges or in this case the cost of the toner. It's false economy to buy a cheap printer then pay twice the cartridge cost than a slightly more expensive printer. In this case the toner cost (Dell 853-1101 toner 4 colours ) is £190 ( 3p per page)or £57 (9p per page)for compatability toner cartridges. No doubt the quality will be better than a cheaper printer but is it worth the extra cost?

Can't seem to find a compact AIO colour laser with duplexer, they all look like huge monoliths, too big for my desk. :neutral_face:

Got 1250c from Tesco for forty pounds similar to this very cheap cartidges No WIFI with mine works windows 10 I got recommend this if it is anything like the 1250c.Price changes may drop further 10% throughout the year with no free paper

Review here

Not great when its a darn sight cheaper to buy a whole new device than a full set of carts. I appreciate that's using Dell's own refills but at least you know they will work and wont affect your warranty at all.

Also not that fast to print either....

Think Ill stick with my injket MFP for now...

I have the scanner version of this. Ive been using cheap toners for nearly 2 years and everythings ok but on the right hand side of the printout the ink comes off. Ive increased the timing which improved it greatly, but its still doing it a bit.

Thanks for the info.

No automatic duplex printing

Heat given. Been waiting ages for this to come down to £100 again.

Had mine for a year, probably the best printer I've bought, the price of refills is a major bonus

I use these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00977H8DY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_4&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE not sure if they are better or worse than yours but they last and I am happy with them. £17.40 for the full set.

Pretty good printer, it's usually this price though isn't it?

Also, in hindsight I wish I had got an all in one inkjet. They do better photos too, laser printers are not good for photos.

can anyone tell me if this is compatible with Windows 10?

Hi, not sure, I just picked a random link to show the price. Can't remember which one we use. We have a couple of these in one of the offices and only got it because the toners were cheap. Pretty slow, but has been printing around 50 or 60 sheets every day for the last year or so.

Was in the US a couple of weeks back and I'm sure we paid around $70 for the printer from Staples, so £100 does seem steep compared to that, but nevertheless it's a great little printer.

I dont like the way you cant put the paper inside it, you need to keep the tray open

Does this require Drum or Print Head replacements as well as the Toner? If so, whats the cost of them and what is the average life of replacement?

Great printer if you're using a PC or laptop. Absolutely useless if you want to print from an IOS device though as the Dell Document Hub app is shockingly bad.

Yea, I think they are reliable. And with the cheap toner they are pretty economical.

Ive got the 1765 and it's had a bit of paper in behind the wheels, I cant get to, and it just refuses to work. Seems no way to actually get to it without taking it to bits......:disappointed:

Cheers mate. Will try that. Just as well I have a good set of hair. Its had me tearing out handfuls ! :laughing:

Had this printer for well over a year and still plenty of toner left and it's been great for my daughters school work.

No problems printing from android or IOS. It just sits there and works Everytime.

Best printer I've owned, and I've had a lot of hp and Epsoms.

Cold - it's £9.99 for UK wide delivery...

Only printer I've ever had that actually just works. I bought it for this price last year. Toners are cheap if you get non-oem

HP are false economy, they sting you on the inks, their software keeps picking up on different things when you put compatible inks in,

Good printer but £110 on Amazon with free delivery. Same price as this one buyer except you don't get free paper. Not much of a deal but a reliable printer anyway.

Yes, I have that version. I gave up with the WiFi because it was only ever 95% reliable (and the other 5% were the urgent jobs....), but it's been fine connect via Ethernet.

This is a good printer although I have had issues with the wireless function since changing to the BT Homehub. Worked perfect with sky hub, just won't stay connected with BT for some reason!

Its delivered free if you choose within 5 working days

Great printer, got last time was on here, highly recommended. If you use inkjet every week, fine, but if not end up spending so much more on cartridges than the things are worth. They dry up and clog up sop terry useless. Never again, got 3 now that don't work. This one works without fail wirelessly and quickly too. Hp, & canon inkjets i had took literally minutes to print via wifit. Anyway, heat added. Now just need a cheap decent scanner that works with macs, any recommendations? Cheers.

And printer pro iOS app works too, s can print from idevices which is useful too.

had one of these a while. Very good and cheap toners (not changed yet).
mines a slightly diff model. wifi doesn't auto find on mine, need to input all wifi info. this one might auto find your wifi. good printers

I've got this printer and very pleased with it. Would certainly recommend.

Oh right okay got fed wrong information above.
Cheers for the post

I too have the scanner version since 2014 (£159) and have not had to buy any cartridges as yet, not that I'm using every day. Like others have mentioned setting up wifi was a bit unclear but managed to do so and have the print app on iOS as well as Andriod devices.

Really ? Ours circulates around the house as soon as its unguarded and we have to throw a blanket over it to capture it.

Does this purchase come with any cartridges or are they an additional add-on?

ordered! been waiting for this to drop in price again :smiley: cheers OP

Should be available through Flubit for those that want to give it a try.

I use a Canoscan Lide 210 scanner with my Macs which works well - only issue is with El Capitan the driver doesn't currently support the front panel buttons - have to use the Mac app to scan/copy etc. so reverted to Yosemite. The more recent Lide 220 model does work fine with El Capitan.

Yes, but I paid £149 on ebuyer. They dont appear to sell it anymore, and the newer version is £189 currently (because its the newer model, im not sure if you can get cheap carts just yet)

No it's not This is HotUKDeals, offers from eBuyer are not UK wide deals...

This is a great printer - Wireless can be a little flakey sometimes but apart from that its a good solid printer.

Printer comes with sample cartridges but you still get a lot of prints from them...

Wouldn't recommend this if you need high quality prints especially colour. It gets the job done but the resolution on this isn't great for images with lots of detail in them like graphs charts etc. I have a similar dell laser with the same resolution and colour prints look stretched and blocky and the colours just aren't very accurate. But for black and white text it's perfect. Purchased a dedicated Inkjet for when I need high quality prints and the laser for when quality doesn't matter.

This is about as cheap as this printer gets (it occasionally floats up by as much as £20).
It is a bargain.
You can get better photo printing with an inkjet, but this actually ain't bad. If you want to do photos really well, you'll have to put up with the fuss of an inkjet.
This is great for 'business' graphic use, and no fuss whatsoever.

The printer can do duplex (you have to turn the paper over and put it in again). The important thing here is that when it goes through the second time, the first side's printing doesn't come off or get damaged ... if is spec'd to do duplex, just not automatically.

I've not had any troubles with wifi.
The paper tray is shallow (250 sheets) and A4 sticks out at the front.
Despite the lack of a rear-exit "straight through" paper route option, it does actually print laser labels very nicely.
It is a 'dumb' printer, so print speed can depend on your computer and connection to the printer (wired can be faster than wireless!)

The (cheap if 'compatible') toners seem to be absolutely the ONLY consumable - which is pretty unusual for a colour laser.

I'm very pleased with mine, and would recommend as a general home colour printer.

Got there in the end though. With tweezers. And stabbed myself with the damn things twice and had blood everywhere. But cleared the paper jam ! :laughing:

How does this compare against the Brother HL3140CW ?

has anyone been able to do booklet printing from this? I used to be able to but now the option has disappeared.

Just noticed that it is only one year warantee; when I bought it previously, it was 3 years!

Bought one of these a year or so ago, and it's a fantastic little thing. The original toner cartridges lasted about a year with regular printing of university work. Replacement toner was about £20 on eBay. I don't use the wireless feature, but for a reliable colour laser printer with cheap toner, it's excellent value for money. Would certainly buy another.

My printer box was a mess. How can Yodel still be in business? Thankfully the contents were ok.

Just checked warranty on Dell site and it expires January 2017. That's only 10 months! Anyone else have the same?
 

Yes works fine here. In printer properties I had to select "Booklet Printing = Enable" and then got this popup:


Clicked OK and it worked.

Where do we change the timing please?

Yes, according to Dell site: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-c1760nw/research

It's fine for occasional duplex printing: literally moving the printed sheets from the top of the printer to the manual feed tray just below. Then press one button to continue. Simples :smiley:
 

 
Frontend displaying your printer info, settings, reports, etc.: http://your_printer_IP_address/

Same as Dell ToolBox.exe util.
 

You have to inform them about the purchase date, as I did, and they will change it (that was 3 years, which expires this July- didn't realise that I had had it so long and £2 cheaper!).

Seemed to get lost in the transition to Win 10, but was very easy to connect again (over a wired connection).

Cheaper from flubit, £97 delivered

wondering if it can print on both sides of the paper?

Manually yes.

Just received. Unplugged the old, ailing C1350NW, plugged in this (Cat cable) and it was ready to run (Win 10).

Just need to move the paper from top tray to bottom tray again, then press the continue button. You will get this pop-up on your screen:


 

Did you call them or fill in the form on their site to "extend" the warranty?

To be honest, I can't remember but I think that I did it online. Just checked back on all the emails and can't see anything so I would assume that it was just done online. I have just received my printer and will probably need to do the same thing.

Amazingly, I saw that I paid £125 for an open box C1350NW in 2011 (the one that I am replacing).

I think that I registered online and then did the "ownership transfer"

If you already registered your product but you need to update your information, please use the Ownership Transfer Form located at http://www.dell.com/support.

Mine was 19th Feb which is the date that it was probably shipped to ebuyer.

what the hell you do not need warranty above the usual mine been going over 3 years without problems .What is there to break down LED printing not true laser drums etc.?

It's not; it's that the standard 1 year warranty starts when Dell ships to the seller. This then has to be changed by the purchaser, otherwise you can lose a few months depending how long that they have had it in stock. Strange, yes, but that is Dell.

I have had an older version 4 years, and that has now been replaced with this one. I have had one of these at home for almost 3 years without any problems.

bought one, thanks

I received the printer from Ebuyer on 10th March but the Dell warranty is shown as expiring on 24th January 2017. I used the Dell online chat to see how to reinstate it to the full 12 months and received the following response: "You have purchased from a reseller so the warranty will start from the date he purchased from Dell".
Not worth the trouble pursuing further - it was hard enough to get the agent to understand the initial question!

Yes, I had no problem last time, but this time they want to sell me an extended warranty. As you say, it's not worth it for a few weeks and my home version of this printer has been going for over two and a half years.

I had a similar response from Dell. However we entered into a sales contract with the seller, therefore the 1 year warranty (from date of delivery) is with Scan (the retailer), not Dell (the manufacturer). Consumer Rights Act 2015 or a readable summary here.

We also have up to six years to complain to Scan should the printer become faulty. But don't expect much.

Well, there you go. Started playing up after 30 pages and is now dead after 60- same error with the old printer that I disposed of (though that did still, intermitently, still work)

How does this printer here compare to this one? http://www.ebuyer.com/660124-dell-c2660dn-a4-colour-networked-laser-printer-210-abwk

The C2660dn is faster, has auto duplex, and more memory. It lacks WiFi (but has Ethernet and USB). It is larger and much heavier, therefore more suited as an office than home printer.

C1760nw    39.4 x 30.0 x 22.5 cm    10.6 kg
C2660dn    43.9 x 48.5 x 37.9 cm    25.6 kg
 

Did you get a replacement or a refund?

Replacement coming today!

Great deal we have had a 1250c for years and printed the life out of the thing, always got cheap cartridges from Ebay and never had any major problems, it's starting to show it's age now, so looking for a replacement, I actually had to clean a sensor :smiley: thinking of getting this as it takes the same cartridges!
Had a look at the C2660 which is only £10 more the cartridges are more expensive, it's bigger & heavy and it looses wireless&mobile printing but the cartridges do hold a lot more 1200 pages compared to 700 on the C1760, and although it's meant for Office use, my 2 Uni kids are printing book like no of pages all the time. If anyone has any feedback on either be nice to know. I'll probably opt for the C1760 because of the same cartridges but interesting alternative, if you have the space.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned but it looks like 6% cashback via Quidco too.

Yes I got two 1250c when on offer without wifi they were just over 37 pounds .I am like you am well pleased in the past these take the same cartidges c1760nw as 1250c .Further they tend to drop to 89.99 with delivery in summer sale ie July possibly worth waiting.

​I've got the 1250c too, I like that the drivers are the simple ones without all the services and extra software everyone throws on top.

Over the midterm we printed on 200gsm paper/card for the kid's crafts play. It worked very nicely. The paper came out curled but was easily straightened pulling the unprinted side once over the edge of a ruler. We printed about 45 sheets and they were perfect.

Paper Type must be set to "Covers (106-163g/m2)".

We tried 120gsm but the toner came out flaky.
