(How are Ricoh printers?)

Nothing high end spec wise,
but i ll tell you why i choose this
lower power consumption , cheap toner, and cheap cartridges , more print yield on this cartridge

been using this for last 6 months no problems what so ever.

But if you dont like it it go with canon mf3010 , reviews are good enough.

No offence dude.

But the first priority of mine was service as I myself cannot attend the printer if any problem arises.

As the printer is used in home by Uncle,Dad and bro;I want them to have hassle free service whatsoever.

There is no HP service in Ahmednagar and the dealer whom I called said that he won't provide onsite service.

Whereas Ricoh person said that you buy Ricoh from wherever (Snapdeal,Flipkart,etc.);
He will provide onsite service.He said the printer had good response and he sold approx 150 units.

However there is a issue of paper floundering in ricoh printers.(I read in a fellow member's post on forum.
 
i have the Aficio SP 100SU Multifunction Laser Printer model bought 2 months back. so far, so good *touchwood*

print,scan and copy quality is all good though dont use it much.

had trouble with pages not loading in the beginning. after tearing my hair for a while called the Customercare & service guys came quickly & fixed some spring after which it works fine

I find this bit concerning

Recommended monthly page volume
250 to 2000
(HP recommends that the number of pages per month of imaged output be within the stated range for optimum device performance, based on factors including supplies replacement intervals and device life over an extended warranty period.)

So what happens if you don't manage 250 pages per month ?
 
with a laser that is what i assumed but this makes me think if you don't print the required number of pages something bad happens maybe print quality goes down like with an inkjet. makes no sense.

what does 'optimum device performance' mean in this context ?
