Replacing a WF-7520 with CIS at the office. The ink waste pad is EOL. I know about solutions like Printer Potty, but the WF-7520 also requires clean print head function to be run quite frequently which is very annoying - so would like to buy a good long term replacement. Budget: | $250, framed by the MF634Cdw -- but could do higher if necessary and cheaper is always better Country: | USA Color or black and white: | Color Laser or ink printer: | Laser (assuming this is lowest cost per page) New or used: | Either Multi-function: | Yes: Scan/Copy Duplex Printing: | Preferred, not mission critical Home or business: | Business Printing content: | Primarily standard 8x11 business documents, ability to print the occasional flyer / fancy a plus Printing frequency: | Variable, WF-7520 reached EOL with ink waste pad in 5 years Pages per minute : | Don't care Page size: | Letter. Ability to match WF-7520's paper capabilities a plus. Device printing from: | PC, MAC Connection type: | WiFi, Ethernet Additional details: The WF-7520 has worked well, except for the fact that the printhead cleaning function periodically needs to be run 5+ times in a row manually to fix bad quality printing and the waste ink pad expiring is a pain that I don't want to deal with again. Need a network printer that 'just works' in printing basic color documents at the lowest cost with scanning/copy function. Should not require frequent hands on maintainence like swapping ink/toner or running printhead clean cycles. The ability to match the variable paper types that the WF-7520 does is a bonus.
a top of line laser printer can run up 800 to 1200 dollars ...does in the list for under 300 are not bad...now i agree with u their still very expensive u would figure laser printers have been around for 15 years now....a stander laser printer shouldn't cost u more 75 to 150.
