This printer has worked well. It was compatible with XP and linux which was nice. Having postscript capability was great. The colors are crisp, and printing photos is awesome. The quality of this printer is wonderful.
Now the bad part:
If you think by going to a laser printer you will avoid those $60 inkjet cartridges, think again. I've have this printer a year, and the magenta toner cartridge is low. $180 plus shipping. The other cartridges are just about as expensive. If I can't find some reasonable priced toner, this may end up being a $300 disposable printer. That's around $500 for a year's worth of toner. This is for a home - kids printing homework, etc. This does not see heavy use.
It has a fan that runs continuously, so it's noisy, even in power save mode. When it kicks on, it smells like somethings burning, and there is a lot of loud clunking noises. Not good to print things late at night with kids sleeping.

I bought this printer along with the duplexer and it has been a great printer for over a year. Cartriges last longer than HP and are easy to refill (no chips required) so printing costs are extremely low. This was the absolute best value in a duplexing color printer, with Postscript3, ethernet and USB. The printer came with 1 year on site service! The only thing I have against it is that it is a little loud when starting.

You cannot beat the price (under $400) and speed of this color laser printer. All the engineering that you would expect of a Ricoh is built into this product. Really solid features and well constructed for long life. About 3500 pages average for each laser ink cartridge - individualy replaceable - very simple design. The color on photo grade paper is stunning. I researched all avaialable laser printers and there is not a better deal to be had on a color laser from a quality manufactuer. If you want the best Tektronix - now Xerox Phaser 8560 with the ink sticks is still the best but at 2.5 times the price. If you have very high volume the Xerox is the better deal becuase the ink sticks are under $100 as opposed to the Laser ink cartridges - lowest price about $140 - so over 2 years or so the Xerox is better.
