Xerox Phaser 3260/DNI Monchrome Laser Printer - Wireless

I have read the reviews about how difficult was to set up the printer or how long it took to do it. Well, it took me longer to unbox the printer than setting it up for wireless printing. My Windows laptop doesn't have a CD drive so I downloaded the software/driver from Xerox, I didn't read the quick setup or the installation manual, I just followed the directions that the software/driver was giving me. From unboxing to printing it took me 5 minutes.1) Unbox printer and remove all shipping covers and the black sheet of paper (you need to remove the toner).2) Load and adjust paper.3) Plug the printer, and connect the printer via the provided USB to your computer (don't turn it on yet).4) Download the software/driver from Xerox: "Phaser 3260 V4 Windows 8 & 10 Print Driver", the file name should be something like: V4XPS_XEROX_PHASER_3260_V12.exe5) Turn on the Printer.6) Run the downloaded software/driver ("V4XPS_XEROX_PHASER_3260_V12") on your PC/laptop and follow the instructions (for Wireless Connection, select the obvious option from the menu, select your WIFI network and continue). Then, the software will ask you to disconnect/unplug the USB cable from the PC/laptop. Continue with the installation.7) Finish and print test page.I printed several documents without problem after the installation. I also checked and printed from an iPhone XS and iPhone 6S using AirPrint without any problem.Enjoy.

The WiFi setup is convoluted and simply doesn't work most of the time. Hours of turning the machine off and back on, printing out configuration sheets and fiddling with the on-board settings application didn't seem to make any difference. Once, seemingly randomly, the machine simply started to work (e.g. finally connected itself to the wifi network). Once complete and the settings saved, it has been very reliable and a great value for the money.

I kept buying ink cartridges for my color printer and printed a few sheets then it would sit for months at a time. The ink would dry up and eventually plugged the printer jets up. I needed a printer that I could print paperwork out with for a hard copy for mailing, etc. This only prints black and white with the cartridge that will never dry up. Perfect for what I needed and cheaper price than it was to buy refills or even a new color printer. I highly recommend this.

This is a great little printer if you have it plugged into your computer, but wireless on an Apple device is too tricky for me. After wasting an afternoon I gave up. The software, everything is pc based. The wonderful CentreWare Internet Services that's supposed get everything identified over the network or across devices is for pc's. Loading from Mac OSX it was pretty much a non-starter. Bonjour air printing that is on my HP inkjet was virtually plug and play. This was plug and curse!

i completely dislike all printers that do Not copy. Really disappointed with this order. Struggling through set up 4 hrs and still hasn’t managed to print one coloring book design from my laptop. Not user friendly. And who wants to have to draw a design, photograph it, save it to a file, then upload it to get copies? Too much work compared to making copies of the originals. Amazon you should list copiers and printers separately, but then you’d be doing your customers a favor and save them time and money, which is unheard of these days. Useless purchase i’ll end up selling in a yard sale to avoid the hassle of boxing this back up and returning it. I gave 2 stars because it came on time and not damaged. Doesn’t set up but you don’t count that as damaged. My business is the only damaged product.

Perfect for our church office. No internet, so no wifi connection. Used printer cable to connect, installed with cd provided, and "wa- lah"!

my last printer was an hp all-in-one printer. the hp set up was super easy and straightforward--even for a non-tech savvy person like me. I chose a b&w laser this time because I really only print academic documents (e.g., papers, articles) and amazon return slips. I don't need color or scanning for that; and the all-in-one printers are kinda bulky. (also, a pet peeve with my inkjet printers has always been that the ink bleeds when I highlight; I really hate that blurring and smudging.) plus, I wanted a laser with auto duplex printing--a must.so I unboxed it last night. live and in person, it's more compact than the listed dimensions led me to imagine; so that's a def plus. the major downside was trying to set it up. my laptop doesn't have a cd drive and they don't offer a link or anything in the installation instructions that come with it--strike one. I kept trying to find drivers and installation stuff online. I downloaded stuff from the Xerox web site, but nothing worked. I spent longer than an hour or two trying to figure out how to do it. I searched youtube videos, articles, chats--nothin. finally broke down and called Xerox tech support.the woman who answered seemed to have no deeper knowledge than reading a list of instructions. when I told her I don't have a cd drive, and I'm on a Mac, she had no idea. she told be she'd transfer me to a special department which had expertise with my model printer and doing a wireless install on a Mac-fair enough. she transferred me into an automated message that the department was closed and to call back. sly?--strike 2.what I ended up having to do was dig out an older Mac that has a cd drive; copying the cd information onto a usb drive, and then using that usb to do the set up on my Mac. that worked, but by then I was kinda annoyed and put out... if I had nothing to compare the experience with I'd automatically assume that it was just my fault, but given that I've had canon and hp printers and never had any such issues doing wireless set up, I'm left no very impressed with xerox tbh.I did print out a document to test. it was fine. the auto duplexing worked fine; no jamming. the toner kinda had a strong smell, but maybe that will dissipate after some more use...the lost two stars are for how difficult it was to find installation software; how unintuitive the wireless installation process was; and how disappointing--kinda rude actually--the tech cust service was. however, I does get three stars because it works--finally.
