Canon imageCLASS LBP632Cdw

I’m very happy with the Canon imageCLASS LBP632Cdw. Print quality is excellent—text is sharp and colors are clean and professional-looking. Print speed is impressive, and duplex printing is fast and reliable, which is a big plus for everyday office or home office use. Setup was straightforward, and once running, the printer performs consistently with no issues so far. The only minor downside is that it’s a bit noisy while printing, especially compared to smaller or inkjet printers, but it’s not excessive and finishes jobs quickly. Overall, this is a solid, high-quality color laser printer with great performance. Highly recommended if you want speed, sharp output, and dependable duplex printing.

You would think that in 2024 getting a network-attached printer to print from a modern OS like Windows 11 would be trivial right? Unfortunately that's not the case. First problem: This printer refuses to work with my wireless network. I have a Wifi 6 mesh system in my house and this printer sits less than 4 feet away from the main unit. It can detect the wifi network with no issues, but rejects my password EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've even tried changing the network password to 1234 to make mistyping it literally *impossible* but each time the printer will tell me that the wifi password is not correct (spoiler alert: it is not). This is the ONLY network device I have bought in the past 10+ years that I've had trouble getting to connect to wifi, and it's supposed to be easier than ever these days. Okay fine- I'll connect it wired- like I said, the device is 5 feet away from the router so I'll just plug it in. Network detected, great! Now I'll just set up an IP reservation for this device so it always has the same local IP address.. nope, my router doesn't see it. Like it literally _does not show up_ in the list of clients, even though the printer says it's connected. So even though it's 2024 and I've bought a _wireless_ printer, I'm stuck with a ridiculously long USB cord and using windows printer sharing so everybody on my network can print. Absolute disappointment.

I am very happy with this printer. It was less expensive to buy a new printer than to replace even one color toner cartridge in the color laser printer I used to use (different brand). This one set up easily including wi-fi configuration and it prints well. Not super fast or quiet, but acceptably fast, and I don't print so much that the noise bothers me.

I love this printer after using it for a couple of years. The printer starts up quickly and prints quickly producing clear, crisp prints in B&W or color. The cartridges snap in easily when changing is necessary. I am using the wireless connection method to my Wi-Fi network which connects to all my computers - two desktops and several laptops. The driver is easy to install and once installed provides for various telemetry and optional settings. I know I am not using all the sophisticated features of this printer, but the one I have used and like very much is the automatic double sided printing features which saves paper and negates the need to manually flip the paper over to print the odd or even sides. There was one occasion where the printer would not power up, but a quick search revealed that a hard reboot will fix the issue and it did. That error only occurred once and it was probably caused by my "dirty" power lines. Overall very happy with this printer.

Print quality is good. Best part is not having ink drying and clogging the jets as on an ink jet printer. Which I had punched a laser printer years ago.
