Excellent value, simple set up. Only drawbacks: BIG footprint, no power switch. The toner cartridge is small (not sure exactly how many copies it will do).
Save $'s: Laser instead of Inkjet! February 17, 2008

Pros: The shipping box shows a huge diagram showing exactly how to repack everything into the box, in case you need to ever send in for repairs. Operation is simple, yet versatile lots of function options. Heavy: reassuring ruggedness. Very, very easy to install/replace drum or ink cartridge!
Cons: Noisy, for instance a continuous fan noise. The original unpack, assembly is easy but there are no written directions, only lots of pictures. Took me awhile to turn the pieces around in my hand to match the photos. IOW, a few words would have helped! Actually, however, the drum and cartridge installation is all there is to assemble, and do it once and you realize its very simple and quick. 1: Cut toner pack top with scissors and shake it 2. Lift the top up and set drum into hole (or remove drum from hole). 3. Turn the cartridge to lock (or unlock): Thats it! No messiness.
No USB cord... :(
Other Thoughts: All lazer printers are big and heavy, think old 17"" crt monitor size. But this one needs only abt 3"" clearance behind (power cord plug), 0"" left and right, and the output tray extends in front only 4"" (and it slides back inside when no paper in the tray). The scanner lid opens from the front, hence no side clearance necessary. Scanning/printing quality: excellent. OCR character recognition for .jpg, .tiff, etc. files to text: amazingly accurate, wonderful! Easy to use, yet lots of options on board the unit's keyboard: 5 shortcut buttons, lcd display, keypad, 4 way hat. Even more options using the free Multi Funciton Station software. Printing speed is very good at 300x300. A bit slow at 600x600 printing and all scanning.
-----------------
Has been trouble free and intuitive to use for the few months I have had this.
That inkjet contraption is costing you thousands of $'s for supplies/materials down through the years. So get a laser! (And save the little inkjet under the desk/out of the way for color work when necessary).
Works great and great price November 2, 2007

Good laser quality printing/copying/scanning. Excellent MSRP price.
Another NICE feature is that its easy to refill the laser printer toner cartridge using a toner refill kit. Since the cartridge just flips open, there is no need to drill holes. So say goodbye! to expensive new cartridges :-).
Cons:
1. Panasonic's website doesnt have a link to updated windows drivers. They are available at:
[...]
2. Its a GDI based printer which means that it wont work as a local printer with Ubuntu or other Linux PCs. However, there a ways to get it to be shared to Linux/Ubuntu clients on the ubuntu forums.
