Canon LBP6230dw Printer Review

The Canon imageCLASS LBP6230dw is a laser printer designed for home users, with a compact design that is made for a desktop, and features like wireless networking and mobile printing that will appeal to the whole family. It can print up to 26 pages per minute, and uses inexpensive Canon LBP6230dw printer toner supplies that are much more affordable than inkjet printing.

As an upgrade from the LBP6230 base model, the LBP6230dw includes both automatic duplexing and wireless support. Duplexing offers more options when printing and also saves on paper. Wireless networking gives users a bit more freedom as to the location of the printer, without worrying about where to connect a network cable. The unit does include an ethernet port, however, for those who prefer it.

Mobile printing options are particularly well designed. Not only does the machine support common protocols like Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, but the Canon Mobile Printing app provides even more control over the printer right from a smartphone or tablet. The app will even display the amount of paper and imageCLASS LBP6230dw toner remaining, so users will know when to order replacement toners. The single paper tray is a bit small, however, at only 250 sheets, and no upgrade options are available.

The single Canon LBP6230dw toner cartridge conveniently includes both the toner and the drum in one unit. With a capacity of 2,100 pages for each imageCLASS LBP6230dw toner cartridge, users also won't need to replace the supplies often. Using third-party compatible Canon LBP6230dw toner is recommended as a way to save money over the cost of OEM supplies.

The LBP6230dw is small enough for home users, and possibly robust enough for a micro office, especially with its wireless networking features. As a cost-saving to inkjet home models, it is a great choice for those who don't mind the lack of color printing.
