"Deal of the day" - I love Amazon but they are becoming a bit like DFS for their sales tactics..

Was £50.77 for 10 days last month. http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Ricoh-C250DN-Wireless-Colour-Printer/product/B00K2J7ZOS

Whilst probably still the cheapest right now, i've not voted either way. It looks like £89.99 was the average price for this on amazon so only really a £10 reduction.

Go careful when reading amazon reviews. The top reviews I read about this product were "vine" reviews. I am sure if the printer was free it would be easier to give a 5 star review. The non vine reviews are more of a mix but generally ok so still a good deal for £79.99. That being said paying £277 would be steep for an wireless A4 colour laser. In my opinion this printers RRP should be around £150-£180, £200 tops. Heat added.

I have this printer, it's massive! Be warned. I've had no problems with it but I don't print much, just the odd boarding pass. It can't print on card that's too thick. That jammed it up pretty good. Duplex is handy :smiley:. Also it doesn't support 'air print' (for apple products). You have to use an app which is somewhat dodgy when printing word docs (things like the font came out massive, looked ridiculous. PDF's and photos print perfectly). If you want to print a web page you need to navigate to it within the app (not ideal). Laptops and computers can use the printer like normal.

Couldn't agree more. The no of 5 star reviews given by folks 'sent this item free/ at a discounted price for a fair and unbiased review' is staggering. For many items, if you filter for 'verified purchases only' the no. of reviews is very, very small. I don't trust Amazon reviews anymore.

Don't buy this printer, I have had three of them, all broke after a year, got replaced, but one the power shorted out and then wouldn't switch on another time it was overheating and smoke was coming out off the back on a 180 print job. It was switched off and didn't switch back on and another time when I was hardly using it it would contstantly ask for a new cartridge when I knew for a fact it was over half full, cheap for a reason, don't buy.

These are a good reliable printer, and unless it states otherwise, it will have Ricoh's two year warranty.

If you are unlucky enough to have a fault in your first 2 years, if you are in my area, I like tea with milk and one sugar when I come out to fix it.

You, Sir, are a genius. Thanks a ton!

I have an HP CP1515n. Bullet proof and genuine toners won't break the bank. Turn on low toner warning override and toners last very well. Genuine toners from eBay are viable if you shop around. £60 will get you one with near full toners - well that's what I paid. Not a dinosaur of a printer. Still modern and competent with very high quality print capability

this is amazing, i wish we could find price history for a product in general instead of just amazon. does this camel site do that?

because that's an internet slang..

Bloody nonsense! Why not just say "Yes I agree"

Anybody else here who cannot detect this printer via Windows 10? I have had this printer for a while now, but, cannot print anything as the laptop has Windows 10 and cannot find compatible drivers... Any help will be greatly appreciated :smiley:

I have that printer - also agree its very good.
The toners on ebay are no longer there but easy to search and come up at that price.

Can you also claim a free black print toner with this?

As always, i wish i had a time machine. I'll have to replace the black cartridge on a Dell 1250c soon, so may as well upgrade to this for the wireless and duplex features.

You will need to search for the item with...

means he agrees..

Has this only got 1 paper tray? Ie I need one for large ups labels and they take half a page, so the other half i cut and use again so ideally need some quick enough to just put all the halves in lol rather than opening and closing trays etc?

Fair do's mate, but wondering why you asked original question already knowing the answer?

If you read the text the offer is still open to 31st March 2017. The following link states that the offer has been extended.

A second-hand HP colour laser for £60 is a better bet in my view

I have the non wifi version of this. Beware, it is VERY HEAVY! I thought 27kgs was a typo. It wasn't!

I think what he meant was how did the OP find this deal as it's not listed on Amazon's deals of the day page - I can't see it either. Goto Amazon home page, click deals, click all deals of the day and this printer isn't listed. No idea where the OP found it from.

This or the Brother alternative??

Opps, my bad - I was meant to say "Duplex on these *normally* means..."

Agreed, I bought this about 1 year ago using flubit and I payed 70-80. It's still a good price. But not a great discount.

I can confirm, duplex on mine down not involve me doing anything manual. It sucks the paper back in and prints on the other side. It's a good printer just not perfect with apple products (which I have)

"THIS" as in "What he said"

I've had one of these for about 18 months now and can't fault it. If it did need replacing, it would be my first choice when looking for another. Has handled every type and thickness of paper I've put through it so far, some of the weights have been beyond what is listed as the max gsm.

This what?

​printer has automatic duplex not manual duplex

£139 average price so this was never sold @ £277.

They use these things at my work
They are terrible

Bought the C240DN toners lasted 8 months, cheapest replacements are £100, originals are over £250 a set. Cheap printer, HIGH running costs and it is massive as pointed out. Spend a bit more find one that has cheaper running costs.

can only see a full set of toners for £120 or refill kit for £79 off ebay?

Supports duplex, that's impressive at this price point. There don't seem to be any 3rd party toners though and I believe the toners are chipped too so replacement could prove costly. Overall it's gets a hot from me.

HOT, i got a Ricoh from groupon but the non colour one, i cant use the wifi but the print quality is superb and have not had any paper jams so overall a good brand

Lack of cheap toner options kill this deal for me :disappointed:

Where did you find this?

When I look at today's deal of the day I see three items - a mattress, a book and some earrings, no mention of this printer!

Toner refills and chip replacements are available on Ebay cheaply from about £32 for a set

I would say indifferent reviews but heat for the price!
