This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great color, bargain price
I have been using this printer for a few weeks and so far I'm thrilled. It's compatible with Mac OS X, Windows (from 95 to XP) and Linux, has built-in network support and a PictBridge connector in front.
The best part is how lightweight it is for a color laser printer. It also has a very small footprint. Inkjets are often deceptive in that respect, because they require a lot of space in front and back for the paper holders; the 2430DL does not need any of that.
Its energy saver mode is extremely economical (1W) and the printer wakes up immediately and can print with almost no warm-up time.
On the negative side, the paper drawer is very shoddy, and the printer is fairly loud when operating (that includes regular clacks and whirrs while in energy saver mode, don't set it up in your bedroom!)
To the reviewer complaining about the toner not fixating on the page: your printer is set to envelope mode. Check the manual (you can download it from...
2. Consider this color laser printer rather than ink jets
This is my second Konica Minolta color laser printer. I bought my first, a 2210 when prices for color laser printers dipped below $1000. It was very easy to set up and use and worked perfectly for many years. This week I replaced it with a new 2430 because the cost of replacing the consuumables which were all running low was more than buying a new printer. The new 2430 is smaller, lighter, quieter, easier to use, feature packed and has twice the resolution of my old printer. I'm using it in a mixed Mac/PC network environment. The included CD contained all the manuals, drivers and software needed for both platforms as well as for Linux. Set up couldn't have been easier. I unboxed it, plugged in the power and network cable, installed the drivers on my computers and began printing. The whole process took about 10 minutes. The images look great and it can handle a wide range of media. A web browser based interface makes administrating the printer a snap. In a home environment...

Works Great--Until It Doesn't
This printer was impressive once I got it up and running (took some time and head-scratching) with my Windows XP operating system. I purchased the printer around June of 2005 and have worked it hard for my business, printing everything from daily invoices and shipping labels to thick card stock and transparencies. Card stock is only reliable about 70% of the time, and you have to hand-feed it to avoid jamming.
This seemed like a great bargain for the $300 price, but the consumables are very expensive (as you'll find with nearly any printer now, inkjet or laser). I've used about 5-6 cartridges of each of the four colors (black, cyan, yellow, magenta) and gone through one drum replacement. The problems I have had have been mainly fussy software issues--sometimes after working for several print jobs, the printer suddenly stops transferring toner to the media for some inexplicable reason and without any errors or definable cause. We've gotten used to just turning the...
