Ok lets get one thing straight from the off. If you are looking to print photos for display get an inkjet or thermal printer, you will never get display quality photos from a laser/tonner type printer.
That said, I have just replaced a Samsung model with this after 6 years of service and the quality of the prints is excellent. A little muted in the colours and a little bit of banding if you look close. I only really use mine for printing general documents and its really good at it. Its probably 3 times faster than my Samsung was, and text and graphics are very sharp and defined.
I was dreading the whole WiFi setup as other reviews said it could be a nightmare. I'm pretty tech minded but to be honest it was so easy. If you have a WPS type router just press the button on both to connect. I didn't so had to do it the "hard way", but even entering the setting manually wasn't much of a chore and had everything up and running in about 10min. Connecting to my phone and iPad was instant and had no issues. Since getting the printer my router packed up so had to get another one. Wondered if this would cause any problems with the printer but nothing. This time I used the WPS function and it was connected and working in less than 5min.
Time will tell if there are any other issues seen on other reviews. If you want a decent affordable printer for general printing needs this is great. If you want photos, get something else.
