    DOA as far as color printing was concerned. No amount of tweaking would result in anything but the faintest of color. Returned it to the store and exchanged it for a comparably priced Brother model.

    I have only used it once since I purchased this a year ago. The first time I needed to print in color it ran out before I could print everything. Took me forever to set it up.

    This is horrible. Only uses a small amount of paper so you are always replacing it. There is no drawer. Seems to use ink very quickly.

    Spent 4 hours attempting to establish a wireless connection. While I was successful this is not for the faint of heart. Less determined people will just go to the wired option

    It takes like 3 minutes to print 1 page, that's too long, if I could return it I would. I will never buy a printer like this one ever again.

    Printer is impossible to plug in because of the socket on the printer. I had to tape the line to my desk to keep the "I'll designed plug" from falling out.
