EP-87, code for "take you to the cleaners", first you pay a small fortune for the printer. Next up, bleed you dry on very, expensive toner. Then bend you over a drum for the drum replacement!!!!!!!

Here is some wisdom form a sore butt... Base you printer purchase on the cost of the toner, period. The kind that you can refill yourself, the yield is easily half from what listed for the product. You can't do that with a new Cannon printer anymore.

I use to tell everyone I know, "go Cannon"!!! Now, Run, don't walk from Cannon!!!

This printer eats toner at a much faster rate than Canon claims. Then, to pour salt on the would, Canon charges a fortune for replacement cartridges. I own a small graphics design business. I can tell you, beyond a doubt, this is our last Canon printer.

I've had my printer for 5 years and it has worked great. This is my first time replacing the drum. Great printer. I'm a moderate user so toner beats ink without question. Ink would have dried out long ago, but toner keeps working until it's gone.

The cartridge works as advertised. If it fails early I'll post. The original cartridge failed early so we will see. Normal shipping is sloooooooooooooooooooooow. I guess they sit around for a week before doing anything. So if you need it fast pay the extra for the shipping.

I am a heavy user of this color laser 3-in-one and it is great. Just wait for the price to go down on the drum and color cartriges which happens every few months. I recommend canon highly.

Drum MF8170C
It seems that people either love their Canon 8180c or they hate it. I have had no problem with the price or quality of the remanufactured toner or drum unit. I have had the unit about a year and have just now had to replace the drum. We are in the mortgage business using Vista so it gets plenty of moderate use. The 8180c itself is noisy and I have problems with having to switch paper trays from legal to standard size constantly. Other than that it is a brute of a machine.
