I'm an accountant and do approximately 40,000 pages per year. I have been using this machine for about 2 years and have nothing bad to say about it.
It has way more features than I can possibly comprehend.
I use it for 8 1/2 x 11 std 20# pages and it is a workhorse. Few jams or issues. I was cautioned by my salesperson to avoid heavy stock paper.
I have done mailing labels with no issues.
I love that it can do 11 x 17. Just amazing on this size machine.
It is fast and wakes up quickly.
My support guy was shocked that Ricoh has it set for major maintenance part replacement at 100,000 pages. That is not cheap -- parts $350 and labor additional.
Cartridges are not cheap but they yield approximately 20,000 pages.
I'm a very satisfied user.

This printer was purchased for our office. We've had it a little over a year and have had endless problems with it. In attempting to print a 10 page document, it's not unusual to get 3 - 4 paper jams! The rollers by the printer exit door cover keep coming out too. The paper does not seat well in the top paper tray, which may also be contributing to the problems. When it does print, the quality is decent and I appreciate the double sided feature. However, I would caution you strongly against this printer it's been a real headache for our department. There is another department that has the same model of printer and have also had problems with it.

The printer works as advertised, generally. It has an unfortunate affinity for jamming with heavier weight paper - no matter what the handbook says; but with patience it works quite well.

I love this printer - the price is great, it produces EXCELLENT 11x17 prints from CAD and PDF files, it is completely driver compatible and worked immediately. Additionally, it isn't too huge for my home office. A+++

If you plan on manually duplexing, expecially on 11X17, buy something else. The curl put on the paper by the heat of fusing causes the duplexed pages to hang up frequently in feeding from the trays. The only solution I have been able to find is to manually 'uncurl' the paper prior to printing the second side, which is a royal hassle.
