Rating: Summary: NEC Abandoned Current Owners of the NEC 870 Review: The NEC Superscript 870 is a great printer. I've used it now for three years and it's a workhorse that never jams and continues to spew out fantastic looking text, graphics, etc. I love this printer!However, I HATE NEC! NEC refuses to issue an updated driver for this printer so that it can be used with the Windows XP operating system. If you have XP or want to upgrade to XP (like I want to) this printer will suddenly become a large paper weight! This means that I spent $400 three years ago for a terrific printer that still works like a charm and shows no signs of ever stopping BUT when I upgrade to Windows XP I have to buy another printer. Simply do a search on the net for "NEC Superscript 870 XP Driver" for evidence of widespread frustration regarding this printer and the terrible way NEC has handled this problem. I will never again buy ANY product from NEC.
Rating: Summary: NEC Abandons Customers Review: This printer works wonderfully ... quick and reliable prints... no problems until Windows XP. NEC refuses to make a driver for Windows XP, thus leaving me with a useless piece of trash.
Based on this experience I would guess NEC has no problem treating its customers poorly and would expect the same on their "current" products. I'll not buy another product from NEC.
Rating: Summary: A true worker Review: We used this printer in our office of 7 persons and printed basically everthing out. Heavy worker, nice & quiet, also very fast. I am truely impressed with its 2-side printing feature and also the network capability (can also be printed from the home computer thru the internet). It a little bit too big for home but will be perfect for office. Use inexpensive, old, computer SIM memmory for upgrade. The refill tonner cartidge cost about $150-170.
