Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205B

A really good printer and no fuss – I bought this printer in 2011 and after 12 years still working. Only minor glitches. Fuji technical support is excellent to fix them. Disappointed that it is discontinued.

Reliable & Good – I really like this printer/scanner/copier. I've never had any problems with it and I've had it for about 3.5 years. It was easy to set up for both my Mac desktop and my PC laptop. I am really disappointed that Fuji have decided not to write new drivers so that it will work with the new Mac OSX update. The only negative I found which was annoying… Read more

(and the reason for only 4 stars), if one of the colour cartridges ran out, you could not continue to print in just B&W with the black toner.

Died too quickly – I owned this printer for 2 years, the roller died on me at around 2 year mark. The cost to replace the roller is a whopping $280!!! Almost the cost of the printer itself! I felt cheated by Fuji, it's one of those Planned Obsolescent scheme to get you to buy new printer every 2 years! At any rate I can't recommend this printer to anyone.

I really like mine, had no problems in 18 months – Surprised by the negative reviews. I just connected mine by USB which avoids some of the problems mentioned by others. It is not a wireless model (I use a canon inkjet for wireless printing) It works well with generic cartridges which I got from a large online supplier. A whole set of 4 for the cost of only one genuine cartridge! Print quality… Read more ·  1

is great and it is reasonably quick for a cheap colour laser. It will even print more than acceptable photos on 10gm matte photo paper (which is relatively cheap)

Haven't had one incidence of jamming (touch wood)

It doesn't get a lot of work because we have an old HP we use for faxing plus the Wi-Fi Canon for wireless printing from our laptops and for the odd 6x4 photo etc.

I know this model is discontinued, but would consider another Fuji Xerox when it dies.

Worst printer owned – In the almost 12 months I've owned it, only been able it print 47 pages and each one was a mission. Doesn't connect to computers, usb reader doesn't support a bunch of standard formats and just beeps constantly. I bought this to print large volumes in colour and in that regard, is a complete failure. The mono laser on the other side of my… Read more

desk (Brother HL210) was $88 and makes a mockery of this one (dream to use). Next time with stick with Brother.

I like it – Paid $228 with full set of cartridges + extra toner Bought this for its scanning ability after our previous FX printer needed a new drum which was dearer than this printer. Scanner is good , very easy to use. Printer is unusual in that the colour catridges work better if you remove the chip. This does not effect its ability to monitor the ink… Read more

levels.

I removed the chip because it kept beeping that K cartridge was nearly out ( sensor failure ) when the level was

still 80%.

I have used generic cartridges with no problems .Clean and very easy to install ( best ever actually )

Very easy to set up and comes on line in seconds, works well over the network ( Windows 7 )

The only con. is you cant shut the paper drawer

I like it – No problems with this printer. Printed text and colour photos are all good. Scanner works well. Easy to use. The only downside for a home user is the cost of replacing the 4 toner cartridges. Although toner cartridges lasts so much longer than ink jet cartridges the cost of replacing 1 black and 3 toner cartridges recently was $293.

Good Cheap Colour Laser Printer – Having owned this for 8 months and am happy with the quality and speed of print and reliability of the printer. I am only just reaching the point of having to replace one of the stock toners and have found a large variation in prices, so shop around! The scanning capability was an added bonus, but has come in handy mainly for the ability to… Read more

quickly copy a document independent of the PC. Scanning works but does not compress the documents as much as I would like so I continue to use my scanner for keeping copies of receipts for archiving. I have not seriously considered this device for scanning quality prints, etc - preferring to use a dedicated scanner for this function. Then again, that wasn't one of my criteria.

Unfortunately this printer can't be run off my Synology NAS - but again, this printer was not on their compatibility list so I can't complain (the printer came before the NAS). Quality of print; small footprint; easy setup Limited options to compress scanned images

Great printer – Great, simple to use colour and black and white printer. Print quality is above average, and speed is fine for a home printer. The scanning side of things is a little clunky, and took some getting used to, but it gets the job done. Easy to source replacement toner at reasonable prices - from ebay or… Read more

http://www.tonerstop.com.au/xerox-docuprint-cm205b-black-compatible-toner-refills-including-2-smartchips . Easy to setup, cheap to run (with non-genuine toner), sturdy, above average print quality Loading the toner cartridges through the side is can be annoying, depending on your desk layout

BAD BAD AND BAD !!! – This printer is one of the most frustrating printers by far. Why? If you are serious about bringing one home, I guess find another one or buy another brand. This printer is cheap and unreliable, so unless your work is not important, maybe this could be your answer, however if you plan to get one that saves you time and effort, I guess choosing… Read more

another is your answer. This printer has many potential faults during printing from USB or computer as it often JAMS like crazy or sometimes refuses to print for you just because of the paper size sensitivity. However the scanner works and photocopies decently, the paper would start jamming anything over 1 page. Therefore, do not be a fool and listen, this is a filthy printer which has heaps of potential faults, and Fuji Xerox fails to resolve. I suggest going for HP or Cannon. Decent quality Heaps of Jams, Unresolved
