Anonymous verified purchaser , “Experienced PC User”

+ Pretty straight forward to set up and use.

- It depends on what you classify as compatability in the ratings above, but I cannot print unless I switch off my antivirus firewall and at the moment cannot get the issue resolved.

Robert, Sidcup

+ The print speeds are excellent if you are printing black and white text documents. The printer also comes with option fax software.

- The ink cartridges are far too small and so the ink levels decline rapidly.
