PANTUM P2502W Wireless Laser Printer Home Office Use, Black and White Printer with Mobile Printing (V8V77B)

Installed this on Friday night - we needed a small, inexpensive laser printer - our inkjet printers kept drying out and were crazy expensive to replace ink cartridges. We don't print often - but when we need it, we need it. This printer fits the bill perfectly. Small size, good print quality, and toner cartridges are reasonably priced. Note that this model does NOT have an ethernet connection, so you have to either print via a USB cable connected to your laptop, or use the built-in wi-fi print function. Printing via USB is a piece of cake. Setting up the wi-fi printing is a bit cumbersome, but once it's done, it's proven to be rock solid. You have to connect the printer to your laptop via USB cable to set up for wi-fi printing. Then you have to do this for each computer you want to have access to the printer. It's not intuitive but it works. You'll also need to download the drivers if you don't have a CD drive. Only thing I have found thus far that seems to not work quite right, is one of our laptops won't shut down correctly after we installed the drivers. It takes two shutdown cycles. Not a major problem, and I expect the next driver update will sort that out. As I said earlier - for $90 you can't expect perfection but this one comes pretty darned close. Quick warm-up, quick print time, and automatic sleep mode. It can take about 8 seconds for your first page to print, but after that it's as fast as any other home laser printer out there.

Likes: * IT WORKS! That’s the main take-away. Yes, it doesn’t scan/fax/print on both sides/print color. It does one thing: print in black and white. And it does its job WELL. * Set-up is easy — I ignored the instructions and instead used the video on YouTube by Pantum titled “Pantum Printer Installation Video_P2500W” I found the video extremely easy to follow and well-done. * Wireless printing is easy and fast, tested from both my desktop computer and phone. * Small footprint! Works in my super small desk shelves * Love that it comes with USB cable just in case. Just in case the wifi is iffy or spotty or not cooperating, we still can print! Dislikes * This thing would never be able to print a ton at once. See in the video how the paper doesn’t come out correctly? It crinkles into itself for some reason… poor design there. * It literally says “High Temp Piece” on the main bar in the printer and I could see that going wrong really fast. This is a home printer designed for light use and I would never trust it with 10 pages at once, let alone 50. It’s an $84 laser printer, and it doesn’t act like its more expensive relatives. It is a great value for the cost. We will see how it holds up over time, but I was impressed with my initial impression!

1 year review: I use this printer exclusively for making wire labels using Brady label sheets (LAT-58-361) for my day job as an ISP hub engineer. I've also printed on plain paper a few times for various reasons. After 1 full year of use I've decided to leave a review. - For some odd reason the ink prints good and dark in the center of the page but gets lighter at the left and right sides. So ink looks good in the center 3 inches but the left and right sides look like Im running low on toner. Text looks grey instead of black. It started doing this after about a month of use. I've still got 75% toner after 1 year so I know it's not because of low toner. Somehow it's just not getting distributed properly. - Text doesnt print accurately onto the page. When printing on plain paper you'd probably never notice it. But with label sheets you notice when text is off by 4mm causing your text to bleed over the boundary of your labels. I also have a Brother printer and that one doesnt have this issue. I believe the Pantum isnt keeping the paper aligned straight when it gets sucked into the feeder so all text is off by 4mm. I have to manually adjust all my label text in the software Im using so text is printed center on my label sheets. - I'm always using this with a USB cable so I cant attest to the WIFI capabilities. Summary: It doesnt print ink clearly and it doesnt print accurately on the page. Those are kind of basic requirements for any printer so I'm giving this 1 star. I'll be looking for a replacement printer soon because this one kind of sucks.

Je viens de recevoir l’imprimante et de m’installer. A ma grande stupéfaction, je découvre que la cartouche (déjà installée !!) est complètement vide. Étant donné le prix des cartouches pour ce type d’imprimante, c’est proprement scandaleux.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Un'ottima laser bianco/nero molto compatta, funziona usb e wifi. Qualità molto buona per ufficio/casa. Silenziosa, veloce. Autonomia di stampa elevata. Consigliata fortemente per uso casa/ufficio non particolarmente intensivi.

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Sehr simple Einnrichtung am Mac und iPhone. Für das iPhone gibt es eine App, am Mac funktioniert es mit den Systemeinstellungen. Ich drucke sehr wenig, aber dafür eignet sich der Drucker gut. Es gibt leider keine Abdeckung fürs Papierfach, somit lege ich nur Papier ein, wenn ich wirklich weiß, dass ich bald drucke, damit kein Staub ins Gerät gelangt. Auf der Rückseite des Gerätes ist der Aus-/Einschalter dort, wo auch die Stecker für die Kabel sind. Ansonsten gibt es zwei Knöpfe auf der Oberseite des Gerätes. Die beiliegende Bedienungsanleitung erklärt das aber sehr gut.
