Dell Laser Printer 1700

 

Low-cost laser printer is cheap to use but slow to print.

Its price and print quality are attractive, but the 1700's speed is substandard.

Basic, overpriced printer. Better lasers easily found

 

This Dell is one of several laser printers that I own. While it performs smoothly and reliably, it fails to provide several key features that the competition has at a comparable or lower price. The printer is very basic. It is well-suited for text ...

Works with Windows, Mac, and LinuxToner lasts a long time and is inexpensive

Paper system, speed, features (no duplex or networking), value for price

Decent Home Office Printer

 

Prior to owning this printer, I had a Brother HL1440 laser printer which was OK for my purposes at home. However, I was given the opportunity to work with the Dell 1700 at my workplace for a year while I filled in for an employee on leave of absence. I...

Horrible disappointment, extremely prone to paper jams

 

I was looking for a good quality laser printer, and I was willing to pay a good bit of money for one. Dell has a fairly good reputation for their computers, and I was looking for a company that sold quality products and had good support. I purchased ...

Decent print quality, decent price, looks fairly nice

Obscene amount of paper jams, loud, no USB cable included, expensive to return

Dell makes great computers and one lousy printer

 

I bought the Dell 1700 because it was a Dell. Everyone one of my computers, at home or work, that I have ever owned were and are made by Dell. I will buy Dell computers in the future. I will never again buy a printer with the name "Dell" on it. ...

Clear copies

Noisy, slow, frequently jams

Great Buy! Little slow out of the gate.

 

I recently purchased this printer because I had a coupon from Dell, and I have recently sworn off inkjets. I paid about $70.00 US for it, and if it were not for that fact I might have picked up a different brand. Anyway I had been searching for a ...

Cheap, fast, and quiet

Kind of bulky, very slow to first page, Dell carts ONLY
