Rating: Summary: Great deal - and you can upgrade the memory! Review: Unlike what somebody said previously in these reviews, you can upgrade the memory for this printer. I purchased a 256MB DIMM and upgraded the stock/onboard 32MB to 288MB. As I print over the network to this printer from multiple PC's, the extra memory should help spooling big documents.Overall, I love the price for the features. My only gripe is that I do tend to see long pauses between jobs, and warm-up time to start a job after power-saving mode is often a full minute or so. So, if you're not in a hurry, this is a great printer! For the price, I can deal with the wait. :)
Rating: Summary: Horrible Driver Review: We've had this printer at work for about a year. We have it hooked up to one computer, and shared over the network. Almost daily, I have to reboot the computer it's hooked up to make the printer work again. I've tried connecting with both the parallel cable, and the USB cable. I've hooked it up to an XP computer, and now more recently to a server running Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition. Same problem. When it does print, the quality and speed are good, but what good is a printer that doesn't print half the time, and ties up my time working on it when I could be working on real projects? By now, the lost labor of working on this printer would have easily been offset by buying a better printer to begin with. I'll be very wary before buying another Minolta printer.
Rating: Summary: Big Headache Review: We've had this printer for our small business for about 6 months now. At first it seemed like a dream other than how noisey it is and how long it takes to warm up. Then we started having problem after problem with it and to this day it gives us trouble. Their telephone support is great, but we shouldn't have to call them as often as we do. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Beware Review: You've got to yank out the paper to print an envelope! What were they thinking (apparently, they weren't).
