Toner capacity is less, and cartridge is also expensive

I have 2 homes and spend 6 months per year in each. I got tired of returning to the other home only to find out my IJ printer once again has dried out from lack of use, so now I use a laser at each home and have no issues with turning them off for 6 months at a time. Love my Canon MF465dw! Great for printing, scanning and copying.

This unit replaced an over 10 year old Canon printer, whose paper intake finally failed. (No complaints there, that one served well over the years.) We have this unit connected via Ethernet and use it as copier/printer and scanner. So far it has worked flawlessly and - unlike with a recent Brother printer that I purchased for my mom - here the driver installation was smooth and went without a hitch. As with any network device that acts as a "server" (in the broadest sense), it is a good idea to set it to a fixed IP address on your network's DHCP server (usually your router) and you should do that BEFORE installing any drivers. This is how you do that: 1. Connect the device to your network and power it up. 2. Go to your router's management interface and check the IP address and the MAC address of this printer. 3. Add this device via its MAC address as a static IP address and save this new setting. Make sure that IP address is inside your subnet, but outside of the range of dynamic IP addresses. 4. Wait until this printer has picked up the IP address, you assigned it to. This make take a few hours, but you might be able to speed this up by turning off the router and this printer, then turning on the router again and - after a minute or two - turn on this printer. 5. Get the newest drivers and software from the website, don't bother with any included CD and install them in the sequence that the manual suggests. 6. You're ready to print and scan to your heart's content.

Poor working

I have had my only business for more than 20 years. For as long as I have been open, I have been using ImageClass printers (I think for the entire time). I generally rotate them around ever 3-4 years with a new one. I replaced my MF445dw with this MF465dw because I was getting streaking on my scans that I could not easily remove. I did not expect much difference - they look identical. I will tell you, however, that this new printer is meaningfully faster to start-up and print. It is nearly no time at all between sleeping and a completed print. Amazing for the price - really at any price, it is amazing. Despite the terrible set-up interface (definitely dates back to Windows 3.1), this is the printer you want to have as your everyday workhorse.
