Good track record; Lasts forever.
Generic toner can be had for ~$6-8 per cartridge on ebay/amazon.
You can disable the Dell toner check to get more life out of the dell toner units.
Fails About This Printer
No Airprint (Apple device easy printing)
No auto-duplex printing
When using the printer with WIFI it will not wake from sleep. You have to power cycle it before wireless printing, or use wired Ethernet/USB for the sleep/wake function to work correctly. - according to a few comments this works fine

This is listed as a fail, but I have had one since last June and I have only used Wireless printing.
I print from multiple desktops, and from my phones all via wireless and I have never had an issue.
I have gone 2 months between using it and as soon as I send a print job it wakes right up from sleep and prints.
I did update the firmware for mine when I got it though.
Also I got an 8 pack of toners (2 of each) for $35.81 on ebay
This has been a great printer
Thirded. FYI, very little Linux support for this, but since it's a rebranded Xerox Phaser 6000b, you can get it to work. Arch wiki has some details IIRC. Great little printer otherwise, have it running behind CUPS and a google cloud print daemon on my server, can print from anywhere, anytime without issue.

I bought one of these a little while ago. Great for printing on regular paper but won't feed anything else. Just fyi if you plan to print on envelopes or thicker paper.
Got the printer last Black Friday, when it was on sale for $75 with extra black toner (with Visa checkout). I wish I had waited and got something that can scan too.
If you're looking for a solid printer and you don't care about scanning - this is a decent deal. Good luck!

Like would any of these work? Guessing it doesn't come with toner.

Can anyone tell me if this can use the same toner as 1660? Still have brand new ones for it.

Will it be applicable to this discounted deal?
