Canon i-SENSYS LBP5050n review

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP5050n isn't plastered with buttons and lights, but the clean lines and smooth curves are easier on the eye than many an industrial laser.

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP5050n isn’t without its flaws, but overall this is a very commendable printer. The quality is good – very good on text – and even if the specifications don’t compare with those of other colour lasers, the price tag is sufficiently...

Canon i-Sensys LBP5050n review

This is the USB-only printer in Canon's LBP5050 colour laser range, which we originally looked at when it first launched in 2008. All the printers based around the LBP5050 hardware have come down in both price and running costs since their original...

With a low TCO and colour at the speed of mono, the LBP5050 is a great colour laser if you don't need network support.

A good printer, but nothing outstanding in speed or features to separate it from the pack.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP 5050n

A colour laser printer with an RRP of less than £200 surely is worthy of further investigation. The size is not that large something that earlier printers could not say and it prints quite quickly without colour pages printing at ¼ speed.

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP 5050n is 38x4325cm and as printed pages are delivered face down on the top of the unit no extra space is required. It weights around 18kilos so should be easily moveable if required. When I removed it from the box I noticed there...

Canon - i-SENSYS LBP5050

As far as laser printers go, Canon's i-SENSYS looks pretty stylish. With a curved front and two-toned cream chassis, it's a colour laser you'll want to sit proudly on your desk instead of underneath it. And ...

At £199, the LBP5050 is one of the cheaper colour lasers on the market and its compact design makes it well suited to the home office. The toner is slightly more expensive than we'd like, although it's not uncommon for printers with low price tags to...

Canon's i-SENSYS LBP5050 laser printer: all-in-one toner cartridge doesn't make pages cheaper

Cleverly designed and capable of superb results, the Canon misses out on an award mainly due to running costs

The drawback was the time to the first page, the longest of any printer: 26 seconds for a black and white page and more than half a minute for colour

Poor printer that expires after a year

all of the sudden the paper goes only half way through and the printer says paper jammed even though it didnt take the paper in the first place, doesnt seem to be fixed by cleaning rollers or not, still paper will go slowly down and stop in the middle
