Rating: Summary: Works Like It Costs A LOT MORE !! Review: My wife and I love this PRINTER!! We replaced a "dead" Epson 740 (which seemed to be an all-too-common fate for the Epson), and the difference in printing with the Xerox is UNBELIEVEABLE!! What a TREAT to use!! Spend a couple of bucks more and get the USB cable if your computer is less than 3 years old...(it MAY have a USB port anyhow, if it's a high-grade one and uses Windows 98, NT or 2000)---You don't even have to worry if you remembered to turn the printer ON first...just set up your job & click "OK"...the computer fires it UP when it's needed, then resets it and powers it DOWN to a "ready" state when it's done. VERY easy to use. In fact, the initial setup only took me about 5 minutes, including adjusting the registration of the print heads ( and I had NEVER installed a printer before!).Some of the features are like those you would expect on office-quality machines: we appreciate the "REAL" paper tray and collector, the GIANT black-ink cartridge (let's face it...you go through a heck of a lot more BLACK than COLORS) and the thickness adjustment for different paper types (it will do plain paper, photos, transfers, labels, banners and posters just fine, thank you!). We only had ONE minor problem with using the printer, when my wife CANCELLED a print job in the middle of printing (a couple of Christmas letters were upside down), and it left the print heads and carriage off-center. WE READ THE DIRECTIONS (honest!)and unplugged the power cord, then plugged it back in...and it WORKED! No more problem! We shopped quite a bit before we decided on the Xerox M750 and we're glad we DID! We think it's not only a great PRICE...it's a GREAT PRINTER.... at ANY price!
Rating: Summary: Great Printer for the Price Review: Pros: Great price. Very sharp print quality. Fast. 2MB of on-board memory is really nice. Like the ability to feed banner paper in the back. Handles envelops well (once it's setup properly). Seperate color ink tanks is a great idea that everone should use. Very large black ink tank. Cons: Big (make sure you've got the desk space). Put a little too much ink on the paper (though I think that's adjustable). If things aren't quite setup right, my Win98 machine blew up (nothing a reboot couldn't handle). Overall: This is a great printer for the price. I really like the sharp text and clean graphics with this printer. It's light years faster than my old Canon BubbleJet 210. Definitley worth checking out this printer at the store before you buy. Print out a test page and you will be impressed. Double check the footprint measurements to make sure you have enough desk space. I had to do a little re-aranging on my desk to make everything fit. Printer comes boxed with: Printer, manual, install CD, black ink tank, all three color tanks, power cord. Need to buy: USB or parallel cord.
Rating: Summary: Is fine when it works.... Review: The printer performed excelent for almost a year with moderate use. We then discovered an ink buildup under the plastic coating that protects the print head. Our Blue ink will no longer print and the head is damaged. Replacement costs for the color print head are [dollar amount]. Looking for new printer.

Rating: Summary: Xerox Printer makes life easy Review: The printer was extremely easy to set up. From out of the box to up and running took less than 5 minutes. Quality is nice, although the printer itself is rather large. Probably best to place under a desk rather than on it...
Rating: Summary: Something like a phenomenon! Review: the xerox docuprint m750, as color output is concerned, ranks right up there with the hp photosmart 1200 series, at about a fourth of the cost. i printed about a dozen scans of photographs i'd done a while back... even though the photos were stored at between 72 and 100 dpi, and even though i printed them at a mere 300 dpi (the m750 is capable of four times that resolution), i was absolutely floored with the prints i made onto some kodak high gloss inkjet photo paper i bought. i can't wait to scan some photos at full resolution, and print some more. this printer is sheer joy!
Rating: Summary: Beware of the Xerox M750 -- full of software bugs Review: The Xerox M750 printer is one of the worst printers ever to come onto the market. The software is so full of bugs -- and I'm running this is on a brand new Dell Dimension top of the line desktop -- that the software blows up and locks up your computer with nearly every use. Just to print an envelope is a major crisis for this printer and invariably one has to reboot one's computer multiple times to get a single envelope to print. Printing from the Internet is also a disaster -- the Xerox software locks up and goes so haywire that even the icon for it disappears from the Windows printer page. Then you get messages that the M750 can't be found by the computer. Xerox customer support is completely non-existent. So you're on your own if you buy this horrendously defective product. The only compliment is that when it does print color -- which is not often -- the color is quite good. If you stick to black and white text, the printer behaves. But that's what archaic printers are good at. Anything else -- BEWARE!!!
Rating: Summary: Best Printer for under $200 Review: These are now selling for $80.00 even though I bought mine when it first came out, for almost double the price, I think this is the best printer on the market. Color tanks are only $12 a piece and the black ink that comes with it lasts forever. The most unbelieveable thing is the quality of the photos when used with the right paper. My best buy for the year.
Rating: Summary: Xerox "quality?" Review: This is the most pitiful excuse for a printer I can imagine. At first it turned out fairly good quality, and fast output--- but in short order it quit feeding paper, no matter what steps I took. FAQ at Xerox troubleshooting site recommends you "fan" the paper---that doesn't work. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, looked for newer drivers...checked for jams....added, subtracted paper --and finally give up. A printer, despite it's low cost, should be one of those items that HELPS a home/office---not causes additional grief. Never, again, Xerox.
