You might want to consider this before buying a Dell printer, especially if you intend to keep it going for several years: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/19/dell_quit_printer_business/

brilliant deal about£15 for full set toner excellent print outs

Purchased- sickening though to get right through the process of ordering to then be charged £15 at the end to deliver to Northern Ireland. There goes any savings :confused:

Thanks so much. I feel like my head is melted with all the research I've been doing- I'm also looking to get a new laptop and a photo scanner, argh expensive times ahead lol.

Found this explanation of the difference between LED and Laser printers

http://www.inktechnologies.com/blog/laser-vs-led-printers/

The summary point is they are fairly similar in a practical sense - both use toner and a statically charged drum for printing, and achieve similar print quality and speed. LED ones have fewer moving parts, so should be more durable. Basically an LED printer is just as good as a Laser.

Bought this printer the last time it was discounted, and has been great!
The main attraction for me was the low running costs - as 3rd party toners are available very cheap on ebay/amazon and the drum is supposed to last the lifetime of the printer. As a laser (LED) printer you can say goodbye to dried up ink destroying your inkjet printhead too! (I'm never buying another inkjet)
Other big plus is that its nice and compact, which for my intended use case was bang on.
No autoduplex, but you can do manual duplex (where it prints the stack of paper and you manually put the stack back in, press a button and it will print the other sides)

If you intend on printing lots of duplex, and space isn't an issue might not be the printer for you.
In retrospect I wish I'd bought the 1765 model with the built in scanner for copies, but as a pure (network connected) printer for home use this has been great for me.

eBuyer slapped a Black Friday label on this deal - but kept the price at £89.99. Come on eBuyer you can do better than that!

You sir, are a star. Thank you. Its my yellow toner. Email to amazon done to ask for replacement.

Thank you.

If there is still toner left in your old carts (shake them - can you still hear or feel toner in them?) then you can use them even after the printer says they empty. Just need to disable toner level sensing: on printer press the Menu button (bottom left) > Admin Menu > Maintenance > Non-Dell Toner > ON. Then turn printer off for few seconds and on again.

Printer will use up all the toner left. When you start seeing white streaks for any colour then you need to replace that cart.

Thanks, that makes simple sense. My old cartridges aren't being recognised as "end of life" so will try with a new pack.
Thank you.

I have just installed a set of ebay cartridges and it now makes a weird grinding/belching noise every time I print? Prints out fine Any ideas anyone?

Brilliant little printer, cartridges are cheap. Does a great job and a bargain at £90.

took delivery, printer is very easy to install. Wifi connected quickly using router wps button. Happy with purchase.

Used for about a year great printer

Great printer but iPad app is rubbish

We have one and it's been brilliant for family and school printing. Just got another to put away as a replacement when current one dies. Full set of refill non-oem toners cost around £15-18 on ebay or Amazon so this is a no-brainer.

The only negative for me is that the paper tray is exposed when filled (info here) but we just cover with a cloth when not in use. Also only has manual duplexing, but for occasional duplexing it's no hassle moving the paper into the feeder again (info here).

Do yo have to connect the RJ45 directly to the router?
My router is not "local" to my PC or where the printer would sit.
What standard is the WiFi connection, hopefully 802.11n?
Is that the paper tray stuck out at the front, (My old machine has it at the back)?

Great printer at great price. very reliable with cheap cartridges.

Rubbish printer for me. Two broke within 12 months then the 3rd broke at 13 months. Cos it wast out of 12 month warranty Dell customer services told me to buy a new one. Expensive printer for 13 months.

Dont buy from them - terrible customer service if you are unlucky to get a dud

I have this printer. It's actually an LED not a laser, but it's excellent. The only bad sides are that it doesn't do auto duplexing (you have to manually take the page out and flip it) and it won't do borderless prints. But it's a brilliant little printer and you can buy cheap compatible toners.

i have had the 1250 non wireless model for a couple of years and cannot fault it, the cartridges that came with it lasted me about a year and replacements on eBay are really cheap. great deal heat from me

Auto duplex?

oh and it's wireless but you have to use specific app to print from mobile devices rather than airprint or cloud print or the like

It's made by Xerox anyway. I have one, has been faultless unlike many inkjets I have owned over the years. Best bit is very cheap toner available. Downside is duplex is manual and I don't use that function enough to remember which way to put the paper back in.

Bought this one over the summer and have got through a ream of paper with cartridges still going strong.

Quality is pretty good - some solid areas of colour don't quite look solid, and generally not quite as good as a laser but you'd be hard pressed to tell much difference.

There seem to be lots of cheap cartridges available on eBay etc. but not sure how good they are compared to the original Dell ones - a bit frightened of having one leak toner all over the insides!

Good price and cheap to run, just worth noting that Dell no longer sell printers outside the US so these won't be around for much longer.

Excellent, been waiting for this to drop again and by reviews and user experience, this seems to be a very good choice for moderate use and the cheap compatibles are the clincher.

Heat added.

this is a great printer, great build quality and the cheap compatible toners last for years and don't dry out like inkjet printers when not used for a long time :smiley:

Looking for a reasonably cheap compact duplex colour laser printer for home use. Any advice? Have been using the Samsung CLP-315 for last 5 years and while not duplex, it had been very good.

You are correct, my mistake.

This is garden tools and equipment? (10.5%) 1.57% from where I'm standing.

Think I might go for this. I have a previous model (uses same toner), but fuser is on its last legs, so soon for the recycling centre.
