A lot of printer for the money By A small business owner in PA My deskjet 890c has seen better days, so I was looking for a fast printer with color capabilities and good quality print. For not much more than I paid for my last printer I got the speed, economy and quality of laser printing in my home office.I have only had it for a few days, and have heard wildly different things about the last version of this printer that I thought I would share my experience with this printer after a few hundred pages. I took advantage of the included network card and ran it into my siemens wireless router. I did have to call minolta to get it talking to the computer, but they answered after one menu and in one minute I was talking to a real live person. We reinstalled, synched up IP addresses and had it printing in about ten minutes. It prints beatifully, and you can print four full page photos in about the same time as my old inkjet. I think the page speed is accurate on this machine but with my old inkjet, it could take many times longer than the rated speed depending on what you are printing. The 2300 doesn't seem to differentiate on what its printing the pages just spit out.If its in energy saver, it does take maybe a minute to get the first page out, but its still faster than the first page out of my inkjet when printing invoices from quickbooks, etc. After its warmed up its pretty instantaneous. It does produce fan noise even when idle which some people may find distracting. It is probably noisier than an inkjet when printing, but its over a lot sooner.I can't speak for reliability, but I'm going to buy a 3 year onsite warranty plan that will run about 159.00 just in case.I'm figuring that I will save money of consumables over my two tank inkjet, but I'm not really worried about that. Monochrome print quality is as you would expect, awesome, no smudging, and a real professional look. Color is better than my old inkjet, but not significantly. Get a dedicated photo printer if that's what you want. Full page photos off of my 1 megapixel camera are very decent. There is not a photo paper listed in the reccommended media so the point is moot. But the color does not seem to bleed when it gets wet.I am not experiencing any buyer's remorse with this purchase whatsoever. And thats after I practically begged the guy at staples business expo to sell me one. 37 of 37 people found the following review helpful. Great Printer, Great Price By D. Holland Here are my observations from in-box, through install, to printing:1. Good packaging, solid handles on the box. The device weighs 60+ LBs and the handles made it easy to manuever into my NOC.2. Packaging was simple and efficient, printer has about 10 strings of blue tape to stiffen the joins for shipping. As a nice touch, all the tape ends were dog-eared making removal simple an painless. The documentation also clearly describes all the loactions so this process is simple.3. Plugged it in, and turned it on. It's a little noisy but then my SUN Ultra 30 isn't exactly quiet so it doesn't bother me. I printed the configuration page and then the demo page and was delighted to see crisp, sharp output.4. The printer comes installed with 32MB of RAM but the manual states that it will accept PC100 and PC133 SDRAM DIMM modules of either 128MB or 256MB. This is a great relief as I have an extra gig and I will put it good use now. The only drawback was that there is only one expansion slot available for upgrading the RAM. I have not done this yet, but the upgrade indicates that higher resolution printing will be available.5. Network configuration was a breeze - I let my dog handle it while I made coffee. He reported that you just use the menu to insert the IP, MASK and Gateway. He has trouble with CDROMs so I installed the software. The installation was clean and simple. I thought I was going to need to add the printer to the DNS
