I see $296 on Amazon. The $173 price requires $121 in shipping fees…

For me as a prime member, it shows as $269 at Amazon with free shipping.
So it appears to be $269 regardless of how the shipping is covered.

Think I'll pass. Reviews are not all that good on Walmart OR on Amazon. That can't be a good thing...

The only color printer I've seen at anywhere near this price. That being said, can anybody who owns it weigh in on whether it's garbage? I might just pull the trigger, but I'd love an honest SD opinion.

Out of stock online and in stores around me. I'm looking for a color laser printer at this price point. I am tired of ink jets breaking. Since I have a separate photo printer, I'd get a black and white laser printer, but the kids insist they need color for school.

I bought a Canon color laser (733 model) a few years ago for $203 in an Office Depot deal. Since then, the prices for all printers went up considerably, initially driven by the pandemic. The current version of mine goes for about $600-$700 now. There are deals occasionally but most of them are for monochromatic models. Color laser deals seem to be really rare.

Like you, I got sick of inkjets and the paradox associated with them (use a little and end up with clogged cartridges vs use a lot and pay through the nose; each way you get shafted). So I jumped on the cheap Canon color laser deal and no longer worry about wasted ink. In fact, I'm still on the original toner. 95% of what we do print is directed to a monochromatic laser.

While my color laser has all the bells and whistles, you can save a bunch by laying out legitimate vs. nice-to-have features. Like automatic double sided printing and scanning. True double sided scanning without manual intervention seems to add about a hundred bucks. I think I've used this once. Similarly, automatic document feeder is nice but many users might find they'd rather have the fifty bucks in their pocket.

Also recommend researching availability and performance of color toner before buying. Color toner from the OEM is outrageously expensive. It pays to find a cheaper third party alternative that is affordable, has good reviews, and doesn't muck up the printer.

I think your initial strategy of a B&W for everyday stuff and a photo/inkjet for the occasional color needs makes the most sense. A color laser would be an improvement as long as the kids don't use it as their default printer.

Bought over a year ago. Initially had to get a replacement unit due to faulty control panel. Canon Support was great and shipped another one quickly. I use it lightly via wireless connection and have been happy with it. Was tired of inkjet drying up before I had chance to use all the ink.

Perhaps your kids are misinformed (sounds so much better than lying!). I have two kids and each of them has three kids in school. Total of six grandkids spanning grades from pre-k through a high school junior. Not a one of the kids said they need color for school. At their request, I set up both sets of kids/grandkids with WiFi B&W laserjets and this has been working for about four years or so with absolutely no problems. When the $203 color laser deal came up, I even offered to buy one for my daughter but she declined saying the existing monochromatic setup was fine for them.

And before you ask, no I don't need to adopt your kids just so they can get a color laser…I can barely afford the six that I have now!.

Bought this one for this price in December at Walmart. Only way I got the price, at the time was by clicking through a google ad. That's why I didn't post here. Price was almost too good to be true, when I picked it up in grocery pickup (20 miles from my normal Walmart). I was convinced they were going to give me a black and white model or they wouldn't actually have it in stock or something. All turned out great. Very nice printer, wife prints a lot of Color. Replaced a b&w laser and photo ink jet. Photos are not as good, but that was expected. Overall happy with the purchase. (I don't need duplex or ADF).

I've had mine for about 3 years now (can't remember) and it's great. Never had an issue, connected via wifi, hasn't dropped once. Firmware still gets updated (last one was last year). Of course don't expect the photo-printing quality of an inkjet. It's as good as a laser gets at this level (light/medium usage, just don't expect to use it to print 10K pages/day).
For best print quality either use genuine toner or find a good quality supplier. Random ebay/Amazon sellers can be hit and miss, but then again they are at ~$50 for a full set of black/color toners.

Great printer still running strong 3+ years now. It's a workhorse for my wife's real estate business and prints around 1k pages a month without a problem. If you have a Mac it is a little tempermental with dropping the wireless connection if you don't set a static IP on your router. It also works great with AirPrint from an iPhone and iPad. Canon OEM's HP lasers internals and that is the reason why I chose it. Canon uses different firmware and drivers that aren't as polished as HP, but other than that I'm happy.
