I would have been to treat much more.

First off the front: I've used an inkjet printer of HP, a 930 C, which has really given me many years of faithful service (mainly documents print in black / white, occasionally something in color). But I could never befriend me which were to be used only counterfeit cartridges of competitors and later Neubefüllungen the very high cost of ink, which is why I was gone over. With their typical problems (cartridges are not recognized, poor quality ink, etc.). The manufacturer makes a yes also not easy to arrive at alternatives. Unfortunately, I then in between missed the opportunity to look for in a newly purchased Canon fax to the appropriate interface, because otherwise I would have already had the opportunity to use this against a ETAWS higher price than B / W laser printer. Based on the most recent problems encountered (the new ink clogged the nozzles in seconds) was then but as far as, a new device was needed.

For me, the most important criteria when buying goods:
- Low printing costs
- Good print quality in b / w
- A reasonable space
- LAN connection

After some research on the Internet 2 printers are then left: Dell and HP Laserjet C1760nw PRO200 M251n

The Dell it has become because he is fed up far forward in a decisive point: the follow-up costs. Even the counterfeit cartridges HP printer still cost about twice as much as that of Dell. But doing so, they provide only about 20% more pages.

From the print quality I could read anything negative in advance in both printers. At Dell, I can so far only report that I am satisfied with the quality in b / w and in color from close personal experience. From the size of Dell is slightly smaller than the HP, but I must confess that I find beautiful from HP the "closed system". Dear little larger and it does not open the paper tray. However, to me, the Dell here is a second box at ('priority catchment'), from which one also times in between can print a different format (envelope or similar). That would have been the only competitors in a higher class there. Duplex printing both do not support, but I also was not very important.

The possibility to connect the printer on the network offer both printers, the HP but only LAN, the Dell can also WLAN. The establishment of the Dells in the LAN was, well, a bit confusing. According to instructions should you start to set up the printer's CD bundled OK. Then you have the options "Setting up a new printer" or "Setting up a printer on this computer '. Sure I want to set up 'nen new printer and then I wonder that only the options "USB" and "Wireless" are listed in the following menu. So back and set up the printer on this PC, since there is then also the LAN option in the software but also to ludicrous waiting time the printer on the LAN can not be found. If you want to add it then manually via the software, but you get only the 1660 ...

If I can save everything, because then the printer is detected on the network, I had it indeed been configured from the control panel accordingly. Set Say LAN, Obtain an IP address via DHCP, etc., everything went super fast and both Windows 7 and 8.1 computers have recognized the printer immediately, installed its driver and finished. If you have a little familiar with networks that takes less than 2 minutes. I just was thinking that it might be useful to go through the Installationsrountine of the CD. In my case it was not. The "funny" software from the CD Dell should, however, make again, maybe I also overlooked what, but in the evaluation for me plays only a minimal role. All settings on the printer can I view and change wonderfully over the network in the browser.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase and for the very good price / performance ratio, including the follow-up costs, the printer then deserves 5 stars.
