Just got one of these. Nice prints, much better than I expected, especially colour photos, I only printed a couple out of curiosity and was very pleased with results. I leave it on all the time, apart from when it is actually printing or has just printed something it is completely silent and uses very little power in deep sleep mode. Wakes up fast when needing to print, tested it and it took maybe 20 seconds for first print from deep sleep. Got a full set of cartridges from Amazon for under £20, actually sold by Amazon I mean, so if there's a problem with them (when I finally come to use them), then at least there's that avenue of recourse to take. Paid £105 for mine and am blown away with it, so at £85 with code is excellent value if you're in the market :smiley:

1 Check the manual that came with the printer, or via the website.
2 Follow the instructions therein.

What steps are needed to setup wireless printing?

I muddled the 1250c with a C1660 printer which has a lcd display on it. However, after a quick web search it is possible to change a setting in the 1250C ToolBox (software) to state it is using non Dell toner see: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/SLN151909/EN
Checking after changing the Non-Dell Toner setting. Disable the Non-Dell Toner in the Tool Box. - On the [Printer Maintenance] tab of Tool Box, deselect the [Non-Dell Timer] check box. I think there could be an error here as they have typed timer instead of toner.

So you may need to download a driver for the 1250c to get the Toolbox if you do not already have it installed. Otherwise it could be on a CD or available to download as a separate program if not part of the driver.

somebody grey it please? it upsets me as I cannot get it

Is there a maximum limit to the quality/weight of paper/photo paper this will take?

Code ended

Has anyone been able to print anything other than a photo from an iPad?

Cheers

Code's not working anymore. Please amend the price.

It used to be the C1765nfw but that has been replaced by the E525W.

Which model is the printer with the scanner please?

This is what I get:

"Sorry, the offer 'SAVE15' has expired"

The promo code isn't working for me!

Good printer - I'm very pleased with mine.
Good price - I paid a little more than this.

Voted hot.

Good to see this deal back again. I've have the multifunction version for over 2 years and it's been great. I posted a way to extend the life if the supplied cartridges on a previous thread, but I think it's worth repeating here:



Press the Menu button, scroll to 'System' then 'Admin Menu' then 'Maintenance' then 'Non-Dell Toner'. Select this and set it to 'ON'. This lets you continue printing until the cartridge is really empty. I did this two years ago and believe it or not, I've just realised that the original cartridges are still going strong.
The downside is it disables the toner level indicator so you don't get any warning that you are about to run out of toner, until it actually runs out. Not usually an issue if you have replacement carts on standby.
My replacement carts have been on standby for nearly two years! They will be out of date before I get to them. :smirk:

Can this print on transparencies? If so which transparencies work? thanks

Yes, pretty easy to set up, I did most of it on the web interface... just plug into usb or ethernet and then you can do it on the web interface when you run the CD or run the installer that you download.. there's lots of options, but I think that's the best. Yes, it works with windows 10 very well, and I also have the dell printer app on my android device and can confirm that both work very well indeed, have not had any problems at all :smiley:

Set it to a static IP address and then you won't have that problem.

Hi Paddy, was this easy to set up on wireless. a lot of the reviews suggest not. Can you leave simple instructions?

Does the printer then just show up as available ? Will be printing from windows10 laptop and android phone.

Thanks in anticipation

Toner link above, dispached from and sold by Amazon @£18.20

I bought this printer at this price following a previous HUKD promo. Recommended - print quality is very good, quiet printer, I personally have issues with it not connecting to the wifi network every time. This may because if differing IP addresses each time? Haven't looked into it that much. I bought compatible ink cartridges on Amazon, no issues.

Decided to order - been thinking about a colour laser printer for a while, and the cheap compatible cartridges + the fact it isnt too massive has swayed me into thinking this is the one to go for. NB - theres also a dell C2660dn available for a similar price if you want to have automatic duplex (but at the cost of being much bigger, and no wifi + needing to buy more expensive (but higher capacity) cartridges)

As a home user this seemed the one to go for - but if you've got a higher print volume than me you might want to consider the C2660 instead

It says resolution 600 x 600, but mentiond 1200 dpi in the spec.
How do you up it? Can it be done via PC or the printer buttons?

web interface on your Dell 1250?

Settings menu? On a Dell 1250c there's no menu, just a couple of buttons.

Looking for a laser with an ADF scanner, pref colour - any suggestions?

Exactly what I'm looking for, I have a cheap Epson printer that has pretty much just stopped working, so any advice will be appreciated :smile:

Go to settings menu and change one of them to state non-Dell toner. I can't recall where in the menu it is but that allows the printer to still use up any toner left in cartridges. You should still get quite a few more prints before having to replace the toner cartridge.

Have you had Black reporting empty? That was my issue. I'll check firmware, thanks.

Edit: Firmware updated, still won't print with an "empty" black toner :disappointed:

My 1250c has been reporting empty toner on two colours for the past two months, still prints OK though.

Make sure you have updated the firmware on the printer.

Is this is anything like the Dell 1250c in terms of toners, then it will claim the toner is empty and refuse to print even when it isn't.

The 1250c makes great prints, but the fake reporting of empty toner is unforgivable.

looks better printer but cant seem to get cheap toners like you can with dell even the compatible one,s expensive

I notice the Save15 code works with other printers too - Eg - http://www.ebuyer.com/366735-oki-c301dn-a4-duplex-network-colour-laser-printer-3-year-warranty-01327401

Worth an extra £10 to get duplex?....

Great printer bought a year ago for £99, will never go back to inkjet. It's been very reliable and print quality is very good. You can get high yield toners for £20, such as these on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doitwiser-Compatible-Cartridges-1350cnw-C1765nfw/dp/B00XPW42JK/

The only thing stopping me buying this printer, or the scanner version, is the fact the paper is exposed all the time rather then in a closed tray like most other laser printers. I print very sporadically so have a cheap B&W Ricoh and am worried the exposed paper will get too dusty and effect the print when it pulls it through and around the printer.

this or E525dw ?

I've got the version with the scanner built in, but essentially the same printer. I use this daily and have done for a few years now and has been bullet proof. I use the cartridges in the above post, had an issue with 1 cartridge and this was exchange straight away with no problems.

had this for a while great printer go here for ink https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prestige-Cartridge-1250-Toner-1350cnw/dp/B00977H4AG/ref=pd_nav_hcs_bia_i_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2MV565340NDCZM5Z4548

Incredibly good value toners from Amazon, if you're looking for low cost printing this could be the answer! Very tempted.

I'm looking for a colour laser printer, does this have a toner or cartridges ?

It's Dell. Good luck as long as it doesn't go wrong. I have wasted hours talking to their international call centre's to people asking questions that they seemingly don't want to hear response to. Will mever buy from Dell again simply to avoid apalling customer service.

Code 'SAVE15' didn't work for E525dw so bought this one

How's the quality when printing graphics in colour since the resolution is 600x600
