Konica Minolta PagePro 1250W Laser Printer Review

I was tired and annoyed of spending $25 on ink cartridges for my ink jet printer to have them dry out because I forgot to use it for two weeks or run out of ink just after a hundred pages. Have you noticed that many new ink jet printers cost exactly what the cartridges they ship with cost? Be very careful.Now to this very fine Minolta PagePro 1250W Laser Printer review. I did a lot of research for an entry level Laser printer. So after researching just about every printer in this level I chose this model and I'm so glad I did. Here are some highlights I've found very important: - Minolta's toner sells for .... (about average toner price for a 3000 page yield) just about everywhere, unlike Samsung whose printers are about the same price but you'll be lucky to find toner for them. - This toner lasts 3000 pages, not a hundred like ink jets.- Toner is made of powder, so it never dries out. You can use your printer as much or as little as you want and can go out on a 2 or more week vacation without worrying about it.- The Minolta PagePro 1250W comes with 8MB of memory, which means it is able to handle and print large documents quickly. The HP LaserJet 1000 comes with just a mere 1MB, the Brother HL-1440 with 2MB and both are more expensive than the PagePro 1250W.- It prints at 17 pages per minute at a resolution of 1200x1200, which is well above average in this price range. The HP 1000 prints at 10PPM, after a 15 second wait for the first page to print due to lack of memory. First page on the Minolta goes in about 5 to 7 seconds.- USB and Parallel ports. I have way too many USB devices already and can't plug anything else to my already full USB hub, but nothing today uses the parallel port. So why not use it for the Laser printer, after all, the parallel port was designed for printers. Of course you have the USB as well, so the choice is yours. The printer ships with no cables, so make sure you get the one you need.- It is compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. So many printers are still not compatible with XP that it's scary. I did not use the driver supplied with the CD though, but rather downloaded the latest driver from the MinoltaQMS web site.- Printouts are remarkably crisp and clear. No ink jet I know comes close to the resolution of this Laser Printer.- This printer is Windows only, meaning it will not print on Linux. If you need a Linux printer, make sure you get a printer that speaks a PCL or PS (PostScript) language and has a parallel port. The Minolta PagePro 1250E is a good choice, but costs almost 100 more.- Some say this printer is noisy. Well, it is compared to an ink jet, but not too bad and of course only while printing.- The printer driver comes with some very cool features, like printing 2, 4, 6, 9 or 16 pages onto a single page, watermark (text and image overlay), envelope printing, toner saver, halftoning, contrast and brightness adjustment, toner saver mode and 3 print resolutions to choose from, among other features.This Laser Printer definitely exceeded my expectations... by far!
