It appears Fuji Xerox have dumped a lot of stock of this particular printer here - perhaps a model refresh is on the way?

Anyway all of a sudden every man and his dog is selling these, including the likes of Bing Lee ($129) who rarely sell much IT stuff…

I asked Bing Lee online what their best price was for the printer after showing them it was $94 at MSY and they came back with $129 (their standard marked price) - LOL - great deal!!!

$94 at MSY is a good deal - the best price around.

But you can do even better - $89.30 from Officeworks after you price match MSY.

Officeworks are asking $199 before the price match. Expect them to drop their price once their head office staff return to work on Monday…

http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/fuji-xerox-do…

The printer isn't bad - 26 pages per minute, wireless/LAN/USB connectivity, duplex printing (not sure if duplex scan/copy), AirPrint functionality, Mac/PC compatability.

Setup is a little painful as you really need to set it up while connected to your PC/Mac via USB - not via wireless. Once setup is complete she runs like a dream..

Third party toner is cheap too…

Sure there are better printers around, but like Beach Road in Pattaya, bang for buck this is tough to beat…

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 02/05/2015 - 14:09

      This offers duplex printing (and scanning I think) out of the box…

      • teasatotalling on 02/05/2015 - 15:40

        I couldn't see duplex copying/scanning on their website

          Pretty sure it is 2 sided copying from this:

          http://onlinesupport.fujixerox.com/processDriverForm.do?ctry…

          and 2 sided scanning from this:

          http://onlinesupport.fujixerox.com/processDriverForm.do?ctry…

          Note you have to use the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) to automatically copy/scan both sides, though there is also a manual method if your subject won't fit the ADF…

        • MrDad9000 on 02/05/2015 - 17:02

          @GreatWhiteHunter:
          Unfortunately doesn't look like it is. Not sure from your links what you were looking at, but looking at the FAQ for "How To Scan to E-mail Attachment" it appears only model DocuPrint M265z offers duplex, not this one.

          http://www.support.xerox.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?St=429,E=0000000005327970891,K=6163,Sxi=11,Case=obj(1811)

          @flux:
          sorry which one did you buy? and it can scan auto duplex as well (scan both sides of a page automatically to email)?
          thanks

        • flux on 19/05/2015 - 22:14

          @mrtin: No I don't think it does duplex scanning, it's duplex printing (M225DW)

          thank you for clarifying

        • MrDad9000 on 20/05/2015 - 07:48

          @flux: I should have been clearer - yes duplex printing but strangely not duplex scanning, which is a shame.

  • CyberMurning on 02/05/2015 - 14:10

    whAT. is this the same with aldi deal few months ago?
    if so, anyone own this printer and can solve the problem where wireless isnt connected anymore after the printer goes into sleep mode?
    i put the printer on second floor but the signal should be strong enough, my phone pc and tablets are stayed connected - but not this printer.

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 02/05/2015 - 14:12

      I am not having that problem. Maybe you should return yours to Aldi?

      • CyberMurning on 02/05/2015 - 14:21

        hmm is yours sit next to the modem/router?
        the wireless is working, it just kind of disconnected after a while, i need to re-setting then restart again.

          +1

          Not next to it, but the signal strength is good.

          It wouldn't detect it at all trying to set it up without being connected via USB.

          Once I connected via USB and ran through the setup once, including configuring the wireless, it has been faultless since.

    • CyberMurning on 02/05/2015 - 14:20

      edit:. the aldi one is 255z, slightly different model

      • fryandlaurie on 02/05/2015 - 14:38
        +1

        The aldi one has adf while this does not. However wireless is better in this I think because it's wireless n compared to the wireless g in the aldi model.

        • MrDad9000 on 02/05/2015 - 17:04
          +2

          Yes it does. From the specs on OW website:
          "Scan your documents automatically with a 35 page automatic document feeder."

          You can see the ADF in the picture at top.

  • Geekomatic on 02/05/2015 - 14:33

    I've always marvelled at how, if you buy a "printer only"— ink or laser, they're cheap. But, drop a scanner on it & the ink version stays cheap, the laser version triples in price (at least). Wonder why?

    Good deal for a laser printer/scanner- even moreso if it handles generic toner.

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 02/05/2015 - 14:34

      Agreed. There has also historically been a big price premium for a wireless and/or network printer versus just a plain USB printer…

      • tonyjzx on 02/05/2015 - 14:54

        but still, these things are massively cheap

        i mean i always buy MFDs instead of printers as i occasionally need to fax or scan or photocopy so a flat out printer, even if its $29 one, is wasting my space

        • bargaino on 02/05/2015 - 16:02

          These don't do fax. "Multi-function" really means 2-function these days.

        Yea…may be with a lot of effort it can be done. I gave my p206b a go sometime ago and was still not working. Gave up since.

        I just tried to set up my Fuji Xerox M205b, and had success! I am using Puppy Linux 5.71, but this should work for any Linux version that has CUPS as the printing system.

        After reading a few forum posts, I found that the driver for a different printer can be used. I downloaded the .deb file for the Xerox Workcentre 3045b from here:
        http://www.support.xerox.com/support/workcentre-3045/downloa…

        The .deb file can be opened with Xarchive. Extract only the file Xerox-Workcentre-3045B.ppd.gz

        Now start up a shell, go to the directory containing the file you just extracted. Type "gunzip Xerox-Workcentre-3045B.ppd.gz". Now you will have the same file , but without the ".gz" on the end. This ppd file is the file you need.

        Now start a web browser, and go to:
        http://localhost:631/
        This is the CUPS control webpage. There may be a menu item in your version of Linux that brings up this page, rather than typing the url.

        Under the administration tab, select "Add printer". Your printer should be in the list of local printers, click the button beside it, and then click "Continue". Click "Continue" again on the next page.

        Now you should have the option "Or Provide a PPD File:" and a "Browse" button. Click on Browse, and go to the directory where your PPD file is stored. Select the file and click "Open". Now you are back on the previous webpage - click "Add Printer". You will be prompted to set the default options - probably only the paper size.

        Now click on the "Printers" tab, and on your printer. Under the "Administration" pull-down, click on "Set as server default".

        Now click on the "Printers" tab again, and on your printer. Under the "Maintenance" pull-down, click on "Print Test Page".

        Done!

        Note: I'm not hugely knowlegeable about Linux, so the above is not guaranteed to work for your system.

        • Jackson on 03/05/2015 - 16:04

          Thanks for the effort mate, just out of curiosity how do you find the print from us stick? I haven't come across a file yet that works, they show up on the little screen but says that every file is corrupt, of course they open fine with a pc

        • flux on 03/05/2015 - 18:19

          @alebox:
          It would probably be more like 2x not 10x for full vs initial toner. But $50 for generic and $80 for the full (which is approaching the cost of the printer) seems a bit steep.

        It only has fax and better cross platform support. Other than that, it has wireless G which screws up your wireless N network. Honestly, I would recommend going with a Brother laser even though it costs more. The software is miles ahead and the controls are much better.

        Or the MSY one since that is wireless N and should be a bit better theoretically.

          better cross platform support.

          Wireless G devices connected to a N network doesn't slow it down in general. Only when the G device is actively transmitting the network becomes slightly slower. But how often do you print? It only is active for a couple of seconds. Different story if you have a tablet or an old notebook with wireless G.

          I only print maybe every couple of weeks something, or even months. Copying from time to time so $50 more for no real benefit, I don't know.

    Has anyone managed to find the drivers for the scanner on Mac OS X? Doesn't seem to be any available ..

    It seems Officeworks have lowered their standard price to $129 for this printer.

    MSY have increased their price to $104.

    I'll mark the deal as closed…
