Konika-Minolta Printer

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I'm looking at buying a new Laser Printer for my Home Business.

I want something under $200.00 with a small footprint. I'm avoiding the HP 5L, 6L, and 2100(?) vertical type series because they have a tendency to pull mulitiple sheets through at once.

A quick check comes up with the Minolta 1350W.

Some quick stats:
21 ppm
1200x1200 dpi
8MB built in RAM
USB/Parallel
15.2"x15.9"x13.7"

Anyone know anything good/bad about this printer (older version? Or have any other suggestions?

Minolta makes printers? I thought they made only cameras...

They have some great CMYK color printers. They somewhat recently started branching out to personal laser printers.

The thing with laser printers is that most of them are the same internally - there are only a few companies that make the actual print engines. Often the less well known brands are internally just rebadged.

I am not familiar with minolta lasers but in reviews brother printer generally come out well, panasonic used to make some really good small fottprint lasers as well. The co I work for use lexmark lasers which are ok as well (lexmark inkjets are another thing altogether....).
