I owned this MFP for about 4 weeks before it completely died. For about 2-3 weeks before it died I often noticed that it was unresponsive after having been idle for a day or so. The display would show the wrong date and time and none of the buttons could wake the machine up. My only choice was to cycle the power. I found this to be pretty aggravating since reaching the power button on the back left side was challenging, considering the printer was in tight space on a shelving unit - plus the unit is pretty tall to reach over the top.
Please keep in mind that the printer only froze up for me while it was “hibernating.” As far as when it did work, the print quality was very good and the speed was excellent. I actually liked the printer very much when it was working, except for the manual duplexer, which was clumsy and did not always work well. Sometimes it worked great and beeped when it was done with the odd sides and needed me to flip the pages over so it could print the even sides. However, sometimes it just printed one side and neglected the other side altogether.
Honestly, I’m not sure if the problem with this printer had to do with it being networked, using my Mac with it, my Qwest DSL modem/router, having it plugged into my Monster Cable Surge Protector along with other stereo and DVD equipment, or something else. Furthermore, my wife’s laptop PC was never able to network with it and the Mac documentation online is very limited and practically nonexistent in the written manual. Overall, it’s a nice looking machine with very good color scanning and B&W printing capability. The networking and powering up from hibernating were very poor and I did not test the fax unit.
Amazon was gracious enough to let me return the item for a refund a week after the return window closed. However, it still cost me $30 in postage to return it. I previously used a Canon Pixma MP780 which was fair but had problems with the print head multiple times and eventually stopped printing in black and white! It did have an excellent auto-duplexer, however, and the color prints were nice quality. My best printer experience was with my old HP1100a laser jet which still works great after nearly 9 years. The only problem is that it is not compatible with my new Mac, hence my searching for a new multifunction laser printer.
