Garbage, constantly hangs, have to power cycle to start printing, getting IP that is not reachable, worst printer ever

Nice build quality. Print quality is very good. Pretty heavy printer. Was fed up of buying inkjet cartridges so switched to this color laser printer and I love it.

Works great, good price, fast shipping. Good printer for an office of 12 people. Scanning, copying, and remote printing used in our office. We don't use a fax, but it good to have in case we need it. 2nd purchase of this product, the last version purchased lasted almost 3 full years in our office.

No concerns with printing after using for two months, loses network once in a while even for hardwired and requires hard reboot because soft reboot doesn't work. Scanning not as satisfied, first there's a streak on scanned pages that I can't remove it because I can see a dirt particle in an area that's not accessible, still using my old HP for scanning because of this. Second, the software interface is from ancient age, not intuitive like HP smart printer scanner tool. I just got unlucky I think with bad scanner and foreign particle stuck behind the glass and there's no way to remove it. Other wish: more than one paper tray.

Not easy to get going. After a week of struggling I can print from my phone but can’t print from computer.

The printer is solid. Scans fast. Prints faster. It connected easily to my home network wirelessly and has kept a solid connection. It wakes up from sleep mode in good time. The printer is slightly larger than other printers with similar features (heavier too) but it’s still a great purchase.

After spending hundreds of dollars on inkjet, I decided to jump on this colored laser printer without worrying about the ink drying out. Now I can use the printer whenever I choose and save on cleaning the print heads. This printer is built like a tank and I'm very happy that the starter cartridges so 1,000 prints without having to replace them. If you purchase this printer, I'm sure you love it as much as I do.

Great deal; good quality; perfect for home office. Only drawback so far is it is not as fast as the specifications when you take warm up time into consideration.

I bought this Richo machine to replace an Epson. The shipping was very fast. When I received it the set up was reasonably easy until I got to the wi-fi set up. That was way more involved than I expected. I eventually had to call tech support to get it completed. Tech support was GREAT. They were very pleasant and very helpful. It took them some time as well to get the issue resolved but eventually we got it. It had to do with something about the Microsoft software not being compatible with the Rico software.Now that that is resolved the machine works fine. It prints much clearer than my old Epson machine. It is very fast, the colors are crisp and it copies well. I am very pleased and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced all in one color machine. I also priced the replacement cartridges and they are more economical than my old Epson ones were so I will be saving money there as well.

This printer failed to give quality color printing out of the box and a Ricoh service technician never was able to fix it. We kept it because we needed a dependable laser printer in black - unfortunately it wasn't even able to provide us this level of service. It can be quite challenging to hook up to even in the most basic home network. Additionally now even with the light use it has had this past year it refuses to draw paper. Very disappointing to see the poor performance this Ricoh machine has provided. This manufacturer used to provide fabulous office equipment, but they obviously didn't put in much R&D into this unit. You will also find documentation to be generally awful IF you can even find anything to do with the problems you are likely to encounter. There are many great choices of color laser printers out there. Do not be drawn into purchasing this unit just because the price looks good. This is one potential paperweight you should walk away from.

Reliable printer that also is a great value. Aftermarket ink replacement is also very reasonably priced.

prints very well and relatively fast. Very clear and distinct printing easy to read. I only problem is getting it to stay on the network, it sticks with one computer but does not easily set up to other computers in the house, and after setting up stays on that other computer. Connecting should be easier.

Looks good quality, and sturdy build. Easy to setup. No direct network scanning via windows scan, have to use their app.

Price paid was fantastic for this unit which in my opinion is a commercial grade unit. Weighs over 80 lbs.Has everything plus more you could imagine. Had features I did not even know existed. This unit will be around for a long time. Crisp prints and no worries about clogged ink nozzles anymore.

This printer has been great. It prints super fast and the pages look great! The toner lasts forever, too.

This is definitely a commercial laser printer. Responds well, prints beautifully, and the price was phenomenal! Thank you Adorama!!

Loving this product so far, the print time is a little slower than my B&W printer, but worth it for having a color option. Love the wifi feature so others at my office can use it with ease.

It does not have the clearest instructions for set up but if you are kinda intuitive for these things it's not too hard . Overall for the price, this machine is truly worth it. Wireless printing. Decent quality color, a scanner with a feeding option. It has a fax machine and it scans to USB PDF. The instructions really do suck but if you don't mind playing around with it you will be able to solve most of what the manual is unclear about

Nice little printer for the price. It is a little noisy and the scanner options could be better designed for automatically saving to your desktop over a network.

For the price on sale, no one should complain about this quiet performer. Not only does it support Cloud printing, but also fully duplex scan & printing! Print quality of texts is superb, even photographs at 600x600dpi default quality is already very good. First print out speed is actually on par with any other color printer in this price range. If you are doing a lot of printing, change default energy saving mode 2 to energy saving mode 1 so the machine warms up faster. Or put machine into energy saving mode after 10 or 30 min. But even in energy saving mode 2, first color page comes out in less than 45 seconds. No comment on the scan to email feature as I usually just scan to PDF on my PC and then sync to cloud. The replacement tonner is also fairly affordable. Setup is super simple and easy as well. Overall a great upgrade to a B&W all in one laser printer!

Solid choice
By Gael G.
Works well. Good print quality. Not too ugly. Simple yet powerful. Real automated duplex scanning in one pass (in spite of what the confusing manual says). Only caveats: - Toner replacement is expensive. - Scan to email can't be configured with TLS encryption (in other words, you can't use gmail, which now requires TLS encryption)
Great color laser!
By David S.
Great printer! It is large and a bit bulky but that fits just fine in my home office. Wireless setup was painless: hooked up to my PC via USB, printer read the network settings, viola it's connected! Printing from an Android phone was pretty simple also. The only negative I've seen is the toner prices: upwards of $ for a full set of LD (3rd party) toner. There are 3rd party refills available but I have not used them. On the plus side Ricoh's site says black will print if color cartridges ar...
