Canon imageClass LBP6230dw

The Canon imageClass LBP6230dw monochrome laser printer has a high running cost, but it is fast, offers paper handling suitable for a micro office, and is small enough to put on your desk.

Small enough to share a desk with. Fast. Duplexer (for two-sided printing). Ethernet. Wi-Fi.

High running cost.

If you expect to print enough pages for running cost to matter, be sure to look at both the Samsung M2825DW and the Brother HL-5450DN. Consider how much you'll print, and calculate the total cost of ownership—meaning the initial price plus the running...

Canon iSENSYS LBP6230dw

An impressive mono laser printer aimed at the home or small office

The Canon iSENSYS LBP6230dw is a very well-thought-through mono laser printer, which should serve as a personal or small group device with little problem. We like its paper tray cover and the ease of wireless setup in particular. While not that cheap...

Canon i-Sensys LBP6230dw mono laser printer review

Gone are the days when a single laser printer seemed large enough to power a small village. There are still some gargantuan models available, but in 2015 it's possible to have the magic of laser technology and still preserve much of your desk or floor...

We haven't been overly effusive about every aspect of this printer. The lack of user friendliness, in particular, could be improved upon. However, many of the LBP6230dw's faults are common to most other affordable laser printers. And many of them are...

Canon i-Sensys LBP6230DW review

(Rating Hidden)

As a mono laser printer, the Canon i-Sensys LBP6230DW has plenty of appeal. It has wi-fi, so you can wirelessly print from a range of devices. It also automatic prints double-sided - handy for saving time and paper when printing long reports. To find...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Canon LBP6230dw Linux printer driver now available online; Windows driver on CD.

I bought this because it was said to be Linux compatible, but when I first checked the Canon-USA site for the driver it was crossed out, no download available. Support was contacted and they replied: "Currently, Canon has decided to support only the...

Works well with Windows, USB cable included in box. Linux driver finally available online.

(1) Their USA Support did not have accurate information about drivers. (2) Linux driver took weeks to obtain; installation may be difficult for newcomers as it is long, slow, and complicated. (3) Poor printed "Getting Started" guide, is very short and...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

No Linux compatibility, Canon dropped support of Linux printer drivers.

I bought this printer primarily for use with a Linux PC, relying on Canon's advertising which said that it was compatible with Windows AND Linux, among others, but the CD does not contain a Linux driver and when I went online to Canon's support page I...

At least a USB cable is included in the box, and a CD with Windows & some Mac drivers.

In addition to the lack of Linux support, the included user manual is quite poor, consisting of a few pages with vague comic book-style illustrations without written words except a few for the controls and a suggestion that the Mac drivers on the CD...

Canon iSENSYS LBP6230dw

Very fast printing, clear and sharp - and does duplex printing too with, so far, no fuss whatsoever. Was quick to connect wirelessly. I really only want it for text - but a having printed a test picture - a little light maybe but can't fault the...

Truthfully - only the fact that there is quite a delay when printing wirelessly. It goes to sleep too - so needs a prod to wake it up. I've plugged into it now - so that solved that!

I love this little printer

I bought this printer because it was small and inexpensive. I just got it as an interim printer until I could decide what one I really wanted. Well I'm still using it and haven't decided "what I really want" because it is such a nice printer. Who knew...

Workhorse

I bought this printer six months ago and wonder why I didn't buy it sooner. Excellent print quality, fast printing, easy to use, best printer I've ever used, and believe me, I've used every brand there ever was. You can't go wrong with this printer if...
