Color Laser Printer Under $600 AR!!! Maybe under $500!!!

[MISMan]

This is kind of ripped from FW, but with a special tweak that gets you some nice extras for little money!

Best deal I've seen recently on a true Color Laser Printer. Here is how.

Go through Dell's Small Business Peripherals and select color laser printer links.
Select Magicolor 2200 DeskLaser 120V Prnt600DPI 5PPM Color/20PPM BW

$978.96 Price
($146.84) 15% Automatic Small Business Discount
($83.21) 10% Small Business Discount Code (check a site for this)
$0.00 Free Shipping
$44.94 Approximate Tax
($200.00) Manufacturer Rebate
_________
$593.85

OK, that is without any work.

Now, if you got one of the extra STACKABLE 10% off coupons, you will note that you need to get $222 more to get the next 10% tier to kick in. So I looked, and ran across the Linksys WET-11 units for $112.95 each. Now, add two of those, and the cart is enough to get the extra to% (for those of you who have trouble with math, that is 35% off on the printer itself - but since the coupons stack the net result is only a 34% discount). In addition, the WET-11's are discounted (if you have an XBox, or even want to make this printer wirelessly enabled this is the way to do it!) as part of this. So, the net cost will come out to around $64x.xx which means that for only an extra $50 bucks you get two wireless ethernet bridges! Depending on how you count things though, that technically brings the printer price down to just under $500 after the rebate. Just depends on which way you skin it.

Happy bargaining!

I read the review but they didn't talk about the color quality of the printer.. How is its color print quality compare to... say HP940c?

FYI - You might want to call Minolta at 1-800-523-2696 and verify eligibility of the Minolta rebate with this deal/price even though the rebate is clearly shown on the Dell product page. We purchased one of these printers back in June from Dell under the previous Minolta $200 MIR offer and Dell coupon/%off sale. Minolta rejected our rebate stating that the Dell price already reflected an instant rebate and their MIR offer was not valid for purchases where the reseller applies an instant rebate at the time of purchase. The current Minolta offer also contains the same verbiage. We contacted Dell because they had advertised the rebate, but they refused to help stating it was a manufacturer offer. We finally ended up filing a claim under AMEX Return protection which worked out in our favor since they settled the claim and told us to keep the printer since it cost too much to ship. ~($150 via UPS special services). A five minute phone call could save you a couple hundred dollars and hours of grief.

BTW - This is a great business printer, but I would not recommend it for home use due to the amount of current it draws and the rather lengthy (20 minutes +) warm up time. This is the type of printer that you need to leave on all the time since I consumes a fair amount of fuser oil each time it is cold started. This printer is also old under rebadged names including Riccoh AP204 and NEC Microlaser brand names
