Can anyone confirm much toner the ebuyer ones come with?
Thanks

To change the setting to non Dell ink, go into the config pages, then PRINTER MAINTENANCE - PRINTER SETTINGS - Non Dell Toner
I have the 1765 and have never had to do this, but the last set i bought cam with an instruction sheet to do this if any problems arose.[/quote][/quote]

Just to add, you can change the setting on the printer (which got rid of the low ink level error) but the next day the printer forgot and wouldnt print again. Ive managed to get it to remember permanently(been printing for 3days with no warnings), There is a Dell printer "tool box" program which you can run on your pc and it will also change any setting wirelessly on the printer. including the non-Dell toner setting.
If you're struggling to find the tool box program, search your pc for a file called "dlm1tb"

I chose free 5 day delivery, and parcel force tried to deliver today but unfortunately i missed them. Next day delivery from ebuyer wasn't execting that :-)

Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention. I've ummed and ahhed about a colour laser for ages. I know inkjets are 'better' for photos, but lasers are so much more forgiving after periods of disuse, and just less hassle overall (in my experience anyway!)

I was very wary about photo quality, but after only two tests at A5 and A4 I can say that this will be more than adequate for the average user. In fact if I'd no idea where the prints had come from I'd just have said they were great prints, and had no complaints whatsoever. Colour rendition matches my memory of the scenes captured, and if there's detail lacking it's not immediately apparent.

So far, so good. :-) The icing on the cake was choosing 5 day free delivery yesterday and getting it this morning anyway. Thanks Ebuyer!

I had one of these and it was great. In the end though I decided I needed a scanner so traded up to the integrated version. Both of these are brilliant and incredibly cheap to run. No good for photos but brilliant for everyday use.

Nice compare and contrast.

Price now showng £102.94

 
Depends what your needs are. Both have their pro's and con's. I considered both and chose the Dell because it was smaller and had cheaper refills.

Size (WxDxH) & weight:

Dell C1760nw              39.4 x 30.0* x 22.5 cm    10.6 kg    (* +11cm with paper tray open/loaded)
Brother HL-3140CW    41.0 x 46.5 x 24.0 cm    17.4 kg

The Brother prints a little faster, has 250-sheet paper tray, single-sheet manual feed (straight paper path). The Dell has a 150-sheet tray, and a 10-sheet bypass tray/manual feed (curved paper path, not as good for card).

The Brother comes with 1000-pages starter toners, Dell with 700-pages. Brother standard toners are 2500-pages for K, 1400-pages for CMY. Dell standard toners are 700-pages for all CMYK, or high capacity toners are 2000-pages for K, 1400-pages for CMY.

Brother toner refills average £39/set 4 toners, Dell refills average £18/set 4 high capacity toners.

The Brother has USB and WiFi. The Dell has USB, Ethernet, and WiFi.

*UPDATE: an important consideration between both printers: the Brother has an enclosed paper tray; the Dell paper tray flips open in front and has to stay open when paper is loaded, so dust might be an issue in the long term.

Not sure sorry, I got mine from Amazon after I saw it on here. All I can suggest is:

1) Check pricespy.co.uk which searches all known prices, but there may be a delay so you'd miss 'flash' type sales
2) Check on here daily
3) [Advanced]. :sunglasses: Register an account at uk.camelcamelcamel.com, set up a price alert for the printer on the amazon page, say less than £160 (it generates an RSS feed). Then, set up an account on ifttt.com, select the (RSS->SMS) recipe that monitors an RSS feed (the one you created on camelcamelcamel) and sends you a text when the price drops below that.

The one in (3) works brilliantly once set up, I've had a text at like 6:00am, stumbled into the server room half asleep, bought the item, gone back to bed. By the time I've woken up properly at say 9:00 it's back to normal price. :smiley:

I have the scanner version (assuming you mean the C1765) too, what's the setting you changed please? I had this issue once with a 3rd party Black cartridge only lasting a couple of days - eventually I gave up and just replaced it with another 3rd party (different supplier I think, both from Amazon) and so far, touch wood, it's been fine.
My experience with these machines and manual duplex is that it's almost more trouble than it's worth - it's very easy for the printer to pull through multiple pages on the 2nd pass which throws everything out of whack. But as a single-sided printer it's great - much better and cheaper to run than the inkjet it replaced.[/quote]

great printer. had mine a few years (1350cn) and still to change toners, light use.

Price back up again now.

do you know where i can get m277n for this price or near??? thank you in advance

I have this pretty good if you can get the wireless setup. Have mine connected to two PCs wireless, wasn't able to get the wireless working on the other two. Amazon reviews shows others having difficulty too.

Yes, change all 4 for the alternatives.

We use these :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00977H4AG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We have it in our office, been swopped out 3 times in less than 2 yrs, it is not really reliable at all.

Had the scanner version of this from ebuyer for nearly 3 years. This week it asked to replace the yellow cart, did that but kept asking to change the cart. Re-seated it a few times, then it wanted the magenta cart changed (did that) but still wants yellow changed. It says it can only print B/W only, but even if you send it a B/W document it will give the yellow empty error.
As Im using cheapo carts, I just found there is a setting to change to non-dell carts, this seems to bypass any ink level checks, and by doing this I have prevented chucking the whole thing away. The fuser isnt right either, portions of a printed document can be easily wiped away. Not sure if I'd buy another.

I bought this model last year and have since had FIVE replacements sent out whilst it was under warranty. With varying replacement times (anywhere from next day to a month) I had to buy a back up printer for when it would eventually fail. Previous model worked brilliantly for years, but the 1760 is horrendous! My latest replacement broke last week and I was more than thrilled to take a baseball bat to it.

Still no auto duplex and only wi-fi (not wired) connection? What price 3rd party replacement toners?

Thanks OP, Ordered

How much longer will the ink in this last compared to an inkjet equivalent?

Why wouldn't you just buy this? http://www.ebuyer.com/496175-brother-hl-3140cw-compact-colour-laser-printer-with-wi-fi-hl3140cwzu1

Reviews way better, has AirPrint support and is only £10 more!

just bought mine from printerbase as it offers free next day delivery not the extra £15 ebuyer is charging although Printerbase is £92 still £13 saving if you want it sooner rather than later

My 1760NW works fine with Mac, no wireless wakeup problem, it just works.
Don't know about the version with scanner - scanners are a touchy subject with Macs these days.

Duplexing. This thing is designed for printing both sides - the first side printed doesn't suffer on the second pass.
It just lacks the mechanism to turn the paper over.
The driver even offers the "manual duplex" option - where it prints the odd pages then waits for you to move the paper round before printing the even numbered pages.
Unless you are VERY lazy, this is a cheap route to duplex printing.

About the only thing I don't like is that with A4, the (small) stack of paper in the input tray sticks out at the front of the little printer.

I'd recommend it wholeheartedly for domestic use. Massive upgrade from an inkjet in convenience, speed, lack of hassle when only used occasionally and cost per page. Photos are surprisingly OK, but good inkjets on the right paper are better (though maybe not so fade-resistant).

And this price is as cheap as I've ever seen it ... voted HOT!

Yeah sure. I tried so many different suggestions online but the only one to work for me was...

http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-fix-a-network-printer-suddenly-showing-as-offline-in-windows-vista/comment-page-1/

Hope it sorts yours too pal. :smiley:

Won't last that long..... but my old 1350CNW (earlier version of this) worked fine with Vista to Win 10, so it should really not be a problem.

Great printer. Had mine for over a year now. BIt of a problem when I "upgraded" to Windows 10 as for some reason my laptop thought my printer was offline and stopped printing. However, found a fix to it online and all is well again.

Hot!

Have the higher version that has the scanner. Brilliant if you're just an occasional print user as unlike ink jet printers they don't dry out. Good quality prints and reasonably fast too for the money.

Ordered thanks OP perfect timing :smiley:

I bought this printer and although it does a decent job of printing, I did regret buying it as a linux user. There are no linux drivers for this printer.. I spent days trying to get it hooked up to my nas so it could be an airplay printer with no joy. Plus I underestimated the value of having a scanner, this lacks one and I've found myself needing one a few times.

Cracking deal. I have the 1320cn, still going strong but it's a bit of a size, would like to get this but there's nowt wrong with me old one. Hot.

The old non-cloud apk still works. Its no longer available in Play Store but can be downloaded elsewhere: google "Dell.Mobile.Print.for.Android.1.2.0.79.apk" or "com-dell-mobileprint.apk".
 

Very tempted to buy for son's homework.

These are decent printers but have an irritating flaw.

When the printer goes into sleep mode, you can't wake it up via wifi - so you have to walk to the printer and press a button to wake it up before sending anything to it.

this looks great. cant find if it does borderless printing though. i need an affordable laser printer like this if anyone knows about these things

Seems like a good printer but non automatic duplex printing is a deal breaker.

"No ticky, no laundry"

For Android the new "Dell Document Hub" app is pants (cloud madness). We use the older "Dell Mobile Print for Android" app and it works fine.

For Linux use "Xerox Phaser 6000b" drivers.

We regularly print on 200gsm card. Over spec but works perfectly. The card comes out curled but is easily straightened pulling over a ruler edge. You MUST set Paper Type to "Covers (106-163g/m2)" in printer settings. We tried 220gsm card but it jams.

I'm in the market for a Colour Laser duplex with scanner with low running costs.
Is this the best one with the duplex version, or any better?

Good timing as current HP printer is playing up. The toner cost seems very reasonable as well. But need an AIO and the C1765 is £200+ :/

Anyone suggest an alternative AIO printer with decent cost per/page.

Extremely good printer yet Missing a ontop scanner just sold mine about a month ago and bought a Samsung CLX all in one.

Ordered thanks

Bought a laser printer to replace an inkjet printer and oh what an absolute joy. Wish I had done it sooner. No more blinkin blocked inkjet nozzles or "charging" the cartridges before it prints. I just power it on once in a while and it prints with no fuss. Perfect!

First one broke within warranty and 2nd one has now lasted 18months and now only prints black and white. Might be just unlucky or it's a crap printer

It's due to Dells shift if their business strategy. Trying to get people into their infrastructure early. They intend to get into cloud and data, etc.

I dont want them holding my sata to ransom (any company or individual)

Edit should have said £149.99

What are Dell like when it comes to driver updates; how likely is this to be compatible with the next couple of generations of Windows OS?

Thanks very much.

Can you give me details of some colour laser printers that do also make tea? Thanks.

I have a simple question for around this price max - which printer would people recommend for a wireless, colour printer with scanner and a link to a cheapish set of replacement spares?

Could any one upload scan of printed photo from this on or hp printer as I'm still using my epson px730 for printing photos?

highly recommended, and generic toners work fine

Any ideas on cost of printing a4 with average coverage ?

thanks. :smiley:

these are fantastic printers, i bought one a year ago and still on the toner carts that came with it.

i have a set of these on standby when needed

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180722229930

I have had this at home for 3 years without a problem. I bought another for work with the last offer and it died within a few days. Replacement arrived promptly and has been working fine, so I threw the box away yesterday!

Replacement toner too expensive

Must take them all night!

I've got one. Would be great if it supported Airprint directly though.

Have issues with mine as replaced black toner to non-dell and setup on the printer. However I keep getting errors and cannot print. Do I need to change the whole set of toners to non-dell for it to work?

I've had its older brother (1250c) for over 3 years now, faultless.

meets my needs needs except the need for a second tray as need to use two paper sizes all the time. Is there an option of adding another paper tray? thanks very much. heat added.

Bought the kids the 1765 version with the scanner built in too.

Not missed a beat and as others have said cheap ink and duplex printing is easy if you follow the on (small) screen instructions

I bought this printer last year via hukd, print quality is good, you get good quality photo prints. Cartridges last forever. Wireless connection means it takes a minute for print job to be processed by printer, but you can use a cable. Printing is quick though, seconds for an A4 full colour spread. Recommended. Heat for OP.

Does anyone have a view on the slightly more expensive, faster, duplex version C2660dn ?

I have one of these printers .... Eggscellent yolk be silly not buy one... Heat

I've got the non-wireless version of this. I haven't worked it particularly hard, but even on a genuine set of cartridges I find that the ink doesn't "stick" to the paper on the right side.

It's out of warranty so a throw-away item now, but I'm not sure if I'd buy another.

Had one of these over a year now. Been excellent especially with the kids doing lots of colour printing for school homework. Original cartridges still going strong and only black is getting low. The printing from my Android phone/tablet just works too without any issues.
All round no brainer at this price.

Does this offer automatic duplex printing? eBuyer page doesn't mention it so I'm guessing not.
