Posted Jun 2, 2004 - This printer was a cinch to set up. Insert the CD, load the software and drivers and off you go. There is even a flash movie to walk you through things if you need it. While it does not have built-in networking, I was able to print through my network using Windows XP print sharing quite easily, even though my laptop is connected to the network wirelessly. The printer is quite fast, about 5 or 6 seconds to print the first page, and then the subsequent pages come out blindingly fast. I have not printed any complex graphics yet, but the quality of text is excellent. The manual is very detailed but is only available in electronic format as a PDF document. For the price (I paid $180 after rebates) you get a very reliable printer that does not take up much space on your desktop. The included paper tray holds 250 pages but the output will only hold 150. You can feed single sheets and envelopes through the manual feed. I printed 100+ letters and envelopes yesterday. The letters never jamed, the envelopes (which I hand fed) occasionally jammed when I fed them too close together. The jams were easy to remove and the print job restarted without a problem. I highly recommend the printer.
