Canon imageCLASS LBP6030w - Monochrome, Wireless Compact Wireless Laser Printer, 1 Year Limited Warranty, 19 PPM, White

Perform your research before purchasing. I did, and am pleased with this printer. Costs about 4.5 cents a page. Although very small, both the paper tray and top lid need to be open when in use. Setting up on Mac and Windows 11 for wireless ops went well. Printing docs from my iPhone also flawless. Very quiet ... very fast first-page printing. I have two other Canon ink jets that have served me VERY well for more than a decade each. I wanted this laser for docs only - and am very pleased. NOT duplex ... and NOT a high-res graphics printer - but, again, I knew that before purchase.

July 2024 update: A sudden power drop/surge apparently damaged the wireless in this printer. It has been a great printer up to now with absolutely no problems. I have ordered a replacement at a good price, because of its otherwise excellent performance.Addendum: Starter cartridge printed poorly. Replacing with new made a hyuuge difference ;-)Just received and setup this printer a couple hours ago, so this very early review is of course subject to later update for any problems that may occur over the next few weeks, months.I setup this printer using the installation video available at the Amazon site where the printer is sold. Setup without a hitch using the USB cable connected to a laptop. My desktop PC which is located in my LR, well away from the printer. So setting that to print wireless was a quandary since their was no further instruction for setting other devices in the house up to print.I am not quite sure what I did to setup my desktop because using the same instructions as before still requires connecting a USB cable, so setting up using the router WPS button instead seems to have worked since I accomplished the task and my desktop is now printing wireless. Still I did not immediately see my printer in devices and printers at first glance but then it showed up. I know this sounds stupid and confusing but I have to say it felt kinda stupid and confusing. All is well that ends well though and both of my devices are now printing wireless.This printer is replacing it's exact mate (LBP6000) only that printer was not wireless. My previous WIFI 5 router had a print server so I've been printing wireless to that printer for years. Now no WIFI 6 router that I can find has printer server to their USB ports. Crazy stupid IMO since I've been using Netgear routers for decades. No more. My new TPLink WIFI6 is a very good router and more than competitive with other manufactures in terms of value, quality and performance. And now I can print wireless again. Anybody need a really good LBP6000. ;-)

It looks nice. It came with a CD though. Do you remember CDs? They used to come with computers a really long time ago. Modern computers don't have them anymore.It came with a few sheets of paper. Not really a manual, mostly pictures. The only useful thing it was the advice that the mac driver probably wouldn't work.I tried plugging the printer into the computer I wanted to print from via USB. My computer saw that it was there, and that it was a printer! I could only print plain ascii text, and it didn't work. Nothing ever printed.I do have a really old CD drive. It has USB-A, and modern computers have USB-C. The CD is only Windows or Mac. So I eventually found an adapter combination that would let the mac power the CD drive so that I could read it! My first trip through the software produced absolutely no results. So I started over with a different USB-A to USB-C adapter and got it to work! I had to download a driver like the manual said.So now I can print...from a computer I don't need or want to print from. The ubuntu forums say that drivers exist, and it can be made to work, but they also say that the driver are gone from canon, so I have no idea if I'll be able to get this printer working directly. I might have to write a script to wrap lpr with a call to ssh to print my documents.All in all, the printer itself seems nice, though I have only printed a few pages so far as amazon only gave me the printer and the toner and not the paper I ordered, apparently I get paper tomorrow. The actual setup and administration of this printer is terrible.Now that it is working, I notice that it isn't very good at printing the letter capital H in italics. It looks fine in the PDF, but won't print. Actually, if I put multiple italic H characters in, most of them print. But most isn't really good enough...EDIT It took three days, but I finally got the print driver to work so that I can print. It turns out the driver installed from canon neglects to mark libcupsimage2-dev as a required package. CUPS prints an error about the driver called before the driver that errors out which is incredibly misleading.As for print quality, it doesn't compare to the HP Laserjet M806 that I usually use at work. But for $97.25 it is more than acceptable. It is also noticeably cheaper than an M806.
