Canon LBP6030W Printer Review

The Canon imageCLASS LBP6030W is an affordable desktop printer that utilizes some of the same laser technologies from the company's larger models. At a maximum speed of 19 pages per minute, it's not overly fast, but the combination of an affordable purchase price and cost-effective imageCLASS LBP6030W printer toner supplies makes it worth a look for home users on a budget.

Sometimes referred to as the LBP6030, one of the model's most notable features is its wireless networking support. This allows it to connect to an existing wireless network and be shared among multiple users. This also provides some flexibility in its placement in the home or office, as it doesn't need to be located near a network port.

Output quality is a bit limited, at a maximum of 600 dpi resolution. This means it will do much better for text and graphics than photos, but should suffice for standard documents. With a single paper tray of only 150 sheets, it won't be well suited for high-volume use, but it does have a maximum monthly duty cycle of 5,000 sheets, which should be more than enough for busy home users.

The Canon LBP6030W toner cartridge also incorporates the drum, so toners are the only consumables that need replacing. The Canon LBP6030W toner supply included with the machine is a starter supply with a limited capacity. Replacement imageCLASS LBP6030W toner cartridges have a yield of around 1,600 pages, however, which makes them cost effective. Buyers can opt for third-party compatible Canon LBP6030W toner and save even more compared to OEM supplies.

The LBP6030W has a lot to offer for home and small office users who don't expect too much from it. Its limited speeds and small paper capacity could be downsides for multi-user environments, but as a simple desktop model for only a few shared users, it is a great bargain.
