Canon imageCLASS LBP632Cdw

I’m very happy with the Canon imageCLASS LBP632Cdw. Print quality is excellent—text is sharp and colors are clean and professional-looking. Print speed is impressive, and duplex printing is fast and reliable, which is a big plus for everyday office or home office use. Setup was straightforward, and once running, the printer performs consistently with no issues so far. The only minor downside is that it’s a bit noisy while printing, especially compared to smaller or inkjet printers, but it’s not excessive and finishes jobs quickly. Overall, this is a solid, high-quality color laser printer with great performance. Highly recommended if you want speed, sharp output, and dependable duplex printing.

You would think that in 2024 getting a network-attached printer to print from a modern OS like Windows 11 would be trivial right? Unfortunately that's not the case. First problem: This printer refuses to work with my wireless network. I have a Wifi 6 mesh system in my house and this printer sits less than 4 feet away from the main unit. It can detect the wifi network with no issues, but rejects my password EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've even tried changing the network password to 1234 to make mistyping it literally *impossible* but each time the printer will tell me that the wifi password is not correct (spoiler alert: it is not). This is the ONLY network device I have bought in the past 10+ years that I've had trouble getting to connect to wifi, and it's supposed to be easier than ever these days. Okay fine- I'll connect it wired- like I said, the device is 5 feet away from the router so I'll just plug it in. Network detected, great! Now I'll just set up an IP reservation for this device so it always has the same local IP address.. nope, my router doesn't see it. Like it literally _does not show up_ in the list of clients, even though the printer says it's connected. So even though it's 2024 and I've bought a _wireless_ printer, I'm stuck with a ridiculously long USB cord and using windows printer sharing so everybody on my network can print. Absolute disappointment.

If you are looking for color laser printer, look no further. This is affordable color laser printer that just work great. Yes, it is a bit noisy but still ideal for a home office. The display interface looks basic but once you set your wifi connection you wouldn't have to deal with it often. I like that it doesn't spy on your usage like Brother printers do. No more worries on toners, cleaning heads as I had to for bubble jet printers!

I am very happy with this printer. It was less expensive to buy a new printer than to replace even one color toner cartridge in the color laser printer I used to use (different brand). This one set up easily including wi-fi configuration and it prints well. Not super fast or quiet, but acceptably fast, and I don't print so much that the noise bothers me.

Hard to find the right paper for it. Other than that, it works.
