Just got one and am very pleased!! I feel that the quality and feed are much better than other low end printers I have owned in the past( Canon, Lexmart ) I am also very pleased at the price of replacing the ink cartridges. You just can't find a better value any where.

I did not even know Xerox made these inkjet printers, but this one is very compact and gives good quality for a great price. Maybe it's not as good as some other expensive photo models, but for my small business it's just fine for plain paper printing of financials, letters, invoices, web pages, etc.

I purchased this printer thinking I was finding a bargin, but it has more problems than any half decent piece of crap should. The tiny ink tanks inexplicity empty with the smallest of printing jobs, and they are in convient indvidaul colors, so you have to buy four and not just two. If you ever have to move it and thus unplug this plastic freak, the print head will become clogged and ruined, which costs half the price of the total printer. And since it is the one thing that breaks it is not covered in the warrenty. I got this printer less than three months ago, and it is already broken beyond repair. Any printer that can not be unpluged with out fear of breaking is not worth making (that means you Xerox!). DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER. It is the epitome of plastic evil!

I got the C6 which looks exactly like the picture above. It's a hassle to install, it took me about 2 weeks before i got it working completely as it took forever for the printer to start successfully reading the ink. I had to click on the 'clean' button in the software interface about 50 times after installation. I'm studying computer engineering at school and I don't appreciate getting stumped by pesky little printers. One of my friends got the exact same printer about a month after I got mine. When he phoned me because he was having problems with his new printer I asked him what brand it was and when he said Xerox Docuprint I just sighed and wished I had warned him. He was having similar problems, you have been warned now... In defence of the printer, the ink does come with a seperate cartridge for each colour which actually works well for me since I print almost all of my stuff in black. You can just buy new black cartridges and replace when you run out and the colour is there whenever i need it. No need to switch printer heads for colour vs black. It's also small enough that you can fit it in your garbage can (where it will end up in a couple years anyways) Once it's been set up i've had no major problems.. except for your monthly paper jam (weekly or daily if you're lucky). Sometimes it pulls multiple sheets at the same time. That's what normally causes the paper jams. Sometimes it refuses to print until you reboot. And it makes annoying noises whenever you reboot your computer.

After having many problems with various HP printers, I turned to this Xerox model to provide a cheap solution. I was very pleased to find that it has very good color and print quality. The ink is also affordable vs. the multi-color ink carts that other manufactures sell. With the Xerox, you only buy what color you need. I love this little work horse and would suggest it to anyone who only needs a printer for minor jobs and school work.

I saved money buying this printer, but it seems to require frequent ink cartridge changes (compared to the Epson inkjet on my Macintosh). I suspect that I may have lost any savings in buying new ink cartridges. However, the printer has so far (4 months of use)only had a few problems.

Worked right out of the box. Had no problem getting it set up. Use it on a 4 computer network and everyone loves it. Cheap, quiet and acceptable print quality. Good buy for the price.

I am pleasantly surprised to find that this sub-80 dollar printer is reasonably fast and prints crisp black text that you have to look very closely at to see that it's not from a laser printer ! The colour printing is also very good. It seems a little ink hungry (half of black ink cartridge gone after 35 pages of text and a few pictures). Time will tell whether it's build quality will take any serious use. At the price, though, this is incredibly good value.

For the money, this is one of the most well made printers I have found. My only complaint is that it will not print #10 envelopes successfully. The carriage is not wide enough to print horizontaly and when trying to print vertically, the envalope jams, moves and skips. The documentation suggests using short tab envelopes, but so far the #10 is not possible.

We had lot of problems with this printer. We just printed one color paper and ink cartridge was half empty. It takes lots of ink and quality is not at all good. We did not use it much after that and now we are planning to buy new printer. Not a Xerox one - of course.
