    I bought this printer some time ago … (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/118828) and it's still going strong. Runs 24/7 on WIFI (with Router: AsusRT68) without any drop outs and used already two $10 replacement toners from China. Gets some mixed reviews but I can recommend it.

      I have this printer and its been going well, don't buy the $99 toner from Officeworks. I got my toner for around 20 - 25 so if you get it cheaper then let us know what website.

    • juki on 08/03/2016 - 10:36

      what is the quality like, could it print pages from comics or graphic novels ?
      can it print a large number of pages at once ?

      i had a laser printer years ago and it was pretty dirty and smudging when printing pics

      • pfeerick on 08/03/2016 - 12:14

        This printer is pretty good - you shouldn't get any smudges or streaks from it. It can certainly print multiple pages - paper tray takes around 200-250 pages pages. Time for print is mainly a ratio of the size of the file that is sent via the print spooler (i.e PDFs are often massive when printed - how a 200-300kb 6 page PDF can turn into a 10-15mb monster when printed beats me!?!)

    • RocketSwitch on 08/03/2016 - 15:37

      Great printer.

      I need to update the drivers to see if it works well again.

  • ash2000 on 08/03/2016 - 09:11

    I've had mine for about 6 moths now…. Great printer…..much faster than expected. Very fast "first page printing" speed. I haven't setup wireless printing as yet, but the unit does not support Apple air printing. The footprint is slightly larger than brother printers because of the protruding paper drawer.

    There are some unfavourable reviews out there, I can only assume they haven't updated to the most recent firmware.

    Great price for duplexing printer.

          @muncan: I have this printer (bought it for $50 OW deal). It has its issues no doubt. Slow to print on wireless and no Airprint support. Other than that it does work quite well and the starter toner is great (1000 pages).

          @ryang… yeah… seems to be full of whinges, instead of reviews - all the people nitpicking rather than saying… "I only paid $50 for the printer.. and yes, it doesn't support automatic coffee dispensing… but that is to be espected for the price!!!" I'm not saying the printer doesn't have it's faults - the wireless speed is abysmal (although that is mostly a symptom of themamoth file sizes of PDF files when they print… :shakes head in disgust:), and…. well… that is the only fault I can find after 12+ months of ownership and use… other than that, it is a rock solid printer. And the review page that @muncan linked was just hilarious… definatley seems to be written by "Product Review" fanboys/girls, and ozbargain haters. c'mon… we're all nice people… some of the time, anyway! lol

    Great price for a duplex printer.

  • dassaur on 08/03/2016 - 09:21

    Excellent printer, very efficient and the chinese toner works well. The auto duplex is an excellent feature - I would recommend to anyone looking for a mono laser.
    I have it hooked up into the router via ethernet so can't comment on wifi

    • Gavman on 08/03/2016 - 10:44

      Its wifi is not great.. takes 30 seconds at least to print first page from my iPhone and even more from my Win 10 PC.

      • MountFranklin on 08/03/2016 - 13:19

        10-15seconds on WiFi for me. Win10 and macbook. I've noticed there's a couple of print drivers PS vs PCL, one is faster but forgot which I chose on installation

        • Gavman on 08/03/2016 - 14:03

          Is not the best but it works.. the best thing is the toner you get to start with. Seriously get 12 months out of it before having to replace it. Probably worth 59$ in its self.

        • DJ on 08/03/2016 - 14:31

          @Gavman:
          Well that's entirely based on the amount of content you print, not a time factor :)

      Can I ask what the box is like? The older small Fuji-xerox models had a handle on the top which made it great for people like me who want to print when out at clients etc.

  • strikerzebra on 08/03/2016 - 10:15

    How cheap is this printer to run once you start running out of ink?

    • senorclean on 08/03/2016 - 10:37

      Dirt cheap if you buy toner from ebay - I bought one of these about a year ago and haven't used up the toner it came with yet (but I guess I don't print a huge amount these days).

      Great little unit - fast, low power, duplex.. build is a bit plasticey but you can't complain at this price!

      • strikerzebra on 08/03/2016 - 13:12

        I bought one of those canon pixmar printers, the replacement toners are $33 and it only prints 180 pages, what a rip off, time to upgrade i think

    • ntb on 08/03/2016 - 12:53

      12 bucks for toner from ebay, shipped from sydney. I don't think you can find a duplex laser printer at that price point anywhere. Got it from the $50 deal last time at officework.

  • MrGareth on 08/03/2016 - 10:31

    I'm still running the older 205b model, still on the original toner!

  • whats up skip on 08/03/2016 - 10:46

    I would be concerned about running any laser printer with a Chinese ebay toner. Unlike an ink jet printer, a laser printer is using high temperature chemical reactions. Even using brand name toners, some laser printers release toxic Ozone. Who knows what the cheap toners are releasing.

    Also, laser printers don't do well with pictures compared to inkjet printers. It is simply the nature of the printing process.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2016 - 11:07

      Would you really be printing pictures with this? 📷

    I purchased this last year from an Officeworks sale, I think it was around $50 at the time. Easily the best $50 I've spent.

  • TheTeamRanger on 08/03/2016 - 11:34

    Quick question to owners, I couldn't specifics online.
    1. Can this take photo copies and or do scanning of documents (color?).
    2. Not strict, would like to know if it will work a Linux OS.

  • jubified on 08/03/2016 - 11:55

    Purchased a few of these. 2 died on me. 1 was using eBay toners and it smeared everywhere onto the rollers. The second had issues picking up paper from the tray so officeworks gave me a replacement. 3rd unit is running well over the network.

    • lomie on 08/03/2016 - 12:09

      Did you use ebay toner on all 3 units?

      • jubified on 08/03/2016 - 12:58

        Yes. One of the toner popped and leaked black toner everywhere. I sent a photo to the seller and he sent a replacement which was fine.

        • lomie on 08/03/2016 - 13:06

          Thank you.

    • McFly on 08/03/2016 - 12:35

      Mine also had a problem grabbing paper but I jiggled the tray around and it hasn't happened since.

  • Tastyy on 08/03/2016 - 12:04

  • booboo on 08/03/2016 - 12:05

  • supnigs super skids on 08/03/2016 - 12:12

    I have this printer and officeworks a while ago. It is great value and duplexes automatically. I got it setup to airprint as well, however requires extra hardware.

  • nfr on 08/03/2016 - 12:57

    How come the toner cartridge is so small?

    • McFly on 08/03/2016 - 13:00

      It's what you do with it that counts. (I mean printing a lot of pages, as it does do.)

      • nfr on 08/03/2016 - 13:36

        My Brother toner is supposed to print 6000 pages, I guess 2500 pages is actually pretty good for such a tiny cartridge.

    • ganymede on 09/03/2016 - 13:29

      Yes, unlike ink jet, the toner in a laser printer doesn't dry up.

  • MountFranklin on 08/03/2016 - 13:16

    I bought mine at $50 over a year ago from officeworks. Works flawlessly on wireless but was hard to set up. Still on original toner

    For a similar Fuji Xerox…Best printer ever (the same model family but is colour :DocuPrint CP215 w).

    Been using for 14 months and am STILL on the original toner sets. And I have printed 337 colour and 118 mono (web status page). Still showing 60% left on all toners.

    Never had a jam ever, never any faults, always wakes from sleep mode, easy to set up, cheap to run. Wireless works flawlessly and the web-based setup makes this even easier to configure.

    Despite humid days, cold winters or hot days, it has accepted all paper flawlessly.

    Android app works fine.

    Highly recommend. Next printer will be a Fuji too.

  • tobi3421 on 09/03/2016 - 02:54

    I don't have experience in this model but I have used PE220 and currently Docuprint M215b both with Scan, Copy and Print, PE220 had fax function as well. PE220 served me well for over 5 years until lightning fried the circuit board. Pickup rollers rubber aged over the years and can't pick up papers at times. My Docuprint M215b is coming to 2 years old, very happy with it.
