Zellers - HP LaserJet 1018 $49.99

[crazdefool]

I was at zellers today and noticed they finally dropped the price on the HP LaserJet 1018. It is a 12ppm laser, older model but for $49.99 who cares. Comes with a 1000page starter toner.

[a4rules]

Bought one of these 3 yrs ago and still going strong. Good find OP.

[cheap_guy]

Good deal, good printer. 1000 pages on the starter cartridge will last an average home user (not student) a long time.

[jaydm]

which zellers did you go to? Is this Gta? west? or this deal for everyone?

[crazdefool]

The way the price tag was on the shelf I would suspect its chain wide. I bought it from the simcoe/401 zellers in oshawa. There were 3 left.

[PhoenixStyle]

$49.99 is a great price for a laser, it cost the same or even less than a replacement ink cartridge. Good timing, I was looking for a new printer, thanks for the find.

[theburner]

Just visited Zellers in Lindsay, no dice, scanned at regular price.

[Rforce1]

Hey OP (or other), would you happen to have the SKU on this?

Tnx.;)

[JAC]

Great deal. Uses the 12A toner cart, which is refillable.

[NoJebasNo]

I have this printer works really well, but recently I have been having A LOT of spooler errors, i know it's not really the printer's fault. I have never had this problem with other printers, and it seems a lot of other people have been having spooler errors when using this printer.

There seems to be a lot of solutions, none of them really work that well, I found getting rid of Adobe PDF reader worked best.

Also do those filler kits work well? I have used them for inkjet printers and they get messy and wreck the printer.

[kleptodathief]

any possible pming?

[professionaldude]

any possible pming?

I doubt it if stooples carry this model.

[Kinki]

I have a HP1012 (~4 years old) and a HP1020 (~3 years old), which is exactly the same as the HP1018.

HP1012 came with a full 12A cartridge and the HP1020 came with a starter cartridge. Both the toners are at the end of their life (developing streaks). How do you guys make the drum of the toner last longer then the default amount of toner inside? It seems that HP has timed the 'drum life' and the amount of 'toner left' perfectly.

My Hp 1020 came with a full sized cartridge.

[gmbeliever05]

my 1018 is probably about 2yrs old. Still using original toner. I would have no issues with recommending this printer. Zero issues. I keep it off all the time and it has a quick startup.

[cheap_guy]

My Hp 1020 came with a full sized cartridge.

I thought that the 1018 was the first printer of this line that came with the half toner.

To the guy who says the drum dies when the toner does, this amazon review: http://www.amazon.com/review/RQZ4972U17X0M says that the toner can be refilled upto 4 times.

[Goonish]

The 1012/1020/1018 series are great printers. I was lucky enough to cash in on the $29.99 FS price error for 12A toner. Any comments on a reputable source to get refills?

Great timing! I'm in the market for a cheap laser for my soho.

Now i need to find one in Ottawa.

Is this HP better than the ML Samsung that we usually see on sale at St00ples?

Thx

Same here, looking for a cheap Laser to replace my almost dead IIIp, thanks OP, here's hoping I can track one down :cheesygri.

[jayoldschool]

Scans at 99.99 at Orleans. Can someone scan/post a receipt for us?

[Azxster]

I'd have to agree that the 1018/1020 has a lot of printer spooling problems!!!

[h2o-]

Thanks OP unfortunately this one isn't compatiable with WPS54G printer server... will pass.

[Johnny Powel]

Thanks OP unfortunately this one isn't compatiable with WPS54G printer server... will pass.

The 1018 is a host based printer, it will not technically not work with any print server.
Some people have managed to do so.

Except for hp's crappy Vista 64-bit drivers.

P1005 has a different toner (smaller capacity) and lower print res (600x600)

[night blade]

Found one at Shoppers World Zellers (Victoria Park / Danforth), they have atleast 5 more if anyone is interested.

Holy cow this thing is fast!, coming from a HP IIIp.

Has anyone used this kit?

How easy is it to refill a regular cartridge?

Are the included instructions good since I'm a first tiemr when it comes to refill a laser printer.

I have a Brother printer and was wondering if its gonna be easy to fill my present cartridge.
Unlike the HP I don't need to drill a hole since its already there.
I hope that makes things easier and cheaper.

I've refilled a 12A two or three times. The hard part is making the hole. I melted it with a soldering iron, but I'm considering drilling next time and then putting a vacuum over the hole to suck out the scraps.

[First.Dog]

OK... who's the guy from Newmarket who scooped the last unit from Woodbine? You beat me by an hour. :)

I drove up to Bramalea and bought 2. There were 4 more left at 8:30 tonight. Call ahead and reserve one.

Thanks to the OP. These are great printers!

Sorry, that was me. I went to the Richmong hill Zellers on my way home from work but they were OOS. They were very nice and checked stock at all the stores east of there. The only one they could find was the one at Woodbine, which was a bit out of the way for me. I knew they were going quick so I called and reserved it. They have a policy were they will hold something for 24 hours if you call.

Enjoy!

[Eyedol]

I have refilled many times toners for HP 12A and staples brand 15A with tonerkits products and it works great to print on regular white paper. Refilling can be done easily at least 2 times but after that printing quality might be affected.

[tyfriend]

Can anybody confirm which stores carry it in the west GTA. Zellers seems to live in the past. They don't have computer to check inventory... :confused:

[snickerzmom]

I live very close to Bramalea City Centre, and just popped down there to purchase one of these printers. As of now, there are still 5 of these on the shelf - however, 2 of the units look to me like they were opened and resealed. They are stickered at $49.99.

I recall them being sold in Boxing Day deals at FS/BB in 2006, 2007, so they were basically reliable starter lasers 2-3 years ago. You can find several current models (Samsung/Brother/HP) selling for similar prices these days if you keep an eye on the sales. I think FS had a brand new HP laser for $40 a couple of months ago.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that newer printer models dont always come with refillable toners or at least refills aren't available yet in 2009.

Yah FS did in August...sweet deal then. Got myself one for $39.99

[First.Dog]

After buying, I learned the 1018 is not Mac compatible. Go figure.

A couple of google searches and 2 hours later I got it running with the following software.

Only drawback is you have to run a script to initialize the firmware every time you turn it on. Otherwise, it prints perfectly.

Can't complain for $6.99 :cheesygri

Yikes! No, this is a laser printer, not an inkjet.

[Tornado F2]

It's like most printers (and other products), it takes a while for refurbished or after-market replacements to get into production. That's one of the reasons why some stores collect used cartridges so they can ship them to manufacturers for refilling or refurbishing. It's quicker for after-market suppliers to do that than to produce cartridge housings completely from scratch.

[Tornado F2]

Can I use the refill ink from dollaramma?

"Ink"? NO!:lol:

[natalienicole]

Just bought mine. They have 4 left at Brampton Trinity Mall.

[thevoice]

I've had this printer for about 3 years now and it has had A LOT of use as I used to work from home. Highly recommend it.

[FrostedGlass]

FWIW - 4 left on shelf at Cloverdale. Shelf sticker is 99.99, scans at 49.99.

[charve2000]

Thanks, OP, picked one up.

Two of them left on the shelf at Blue Mountain mall, Collingwood.

Tag says $149.99, scans in at $49.99


I use this printer regularly at the office- it's slower than all the new laser jets out there, but it works great.


Scans at 99.99 at Orleans. Can someone scan/post a receipt for us?

New to image posting. Hope the link below works.

I just bought ALL 12 UNITS left in Vancouver! None left. How's that for a result? (j/K)

Seriously, this is an older model so I wouldn't expect there to be much stock left anywhere. You'll be better off with a newer unit for a similar price anyway. I think I saw the HP LJ1005 for $60 at Stooples - in stock too!

[firefly767]

exactly what i have. great printer, great price !!! never going bk to inkjet ever!!!

[LDN2012]

Anyone know where is cheap place to get toner for this printer model?

I picked one up on Saturday at the Zeller's in Cambridge. There were about 8-9 left on saturday.

there were non at the Finch/Warden Zellers >=|

[Stv]

There were 3, now there are 2.

Just bought 1 at Oshawa Centre's Zellers.

When did the $5.05 fee came into effect. I think its for the toner cartridge.

[lovetodeal]

I bought one earlier at Sq. One. They still had 5 left. They're collecting dust, not inside the electronics area. Instead, they are on the shelf facing the cash area, on the bottom.

[lovetodeal]

It is the Environmental Handling Fee, which came into effect today in Ontario. I had to pay that too when I purchased the printer earlier. The cashier didn't know what it was and wondered why two items came up when she only scanned the printer and nothing else.

Hmm. I heard all the talk about combining the GST and PST next year, but they failed to mention this one on the TV news. Had I known I might have looked for this printer yesterday (I thought I knew a location with stock, at least a few months ago), but now I won't bother. 10.01% tax? Sounds a bit of an odd figure, but politicians probably think it looks prettier, just as they hope the new tax grab sounds "harmonious". No bonus HBC points again this month too. Looks like they are conspiring to keep me from spending and supporting the economy. Oh well, their loss.

The fee does not care about the price of the unit. The fee is on the type of unit so a printer will always be $5.05 regardless of how much the printer costs.

[thesk8man]

I bought this a while back from bestbuy at 99.99 its great buy very happy with it....

also my ink is out how much for the toner? and is this one refillable ? thanks

oh by the way ... I had lots of Print Spool crashes and errors the final work around after tonz of searching is the this ....

download the driver .exe file form hp's website ... DONT double click it. simply use winrar to extract the files from the exe by right clicking and extract option.

then plug in the printer and use the driver files found by extracting the exe to install the printer. DONT use hp's exe to install the printer cuz it will install the bad spool files.

simple as that.

[Tornado F2]

The fee does not care about the price of the unit. The fee is on the type of unit so a printer will always be $5.05 regardless of how much the printer costs.

Why not keep it simple and just charge $5. What's with the extra nickel? Typically dumb McGuinty decision.

Still, as somebody who hates the practice of some manufacturers, especially Lexmark, of dumping cheap "disposable" printers on our market (and into our landfills) rather than lowering replacement ink prices to affordable levels, I do like the fact that this will make those wasteful products less attractive.

I wish the governments would put pressure on the manufacturers and retailers to lower the price of supplies though - that would actually help the environment, rather than just being another tax grab like the old tire tax which never was applied to helping the environment.

[Stv]

When I bought my from Zellers, he had toners for $35, and he said they are quite cheap for that price.

[dichaeld]

I just picked up the printer at square one:)!There are 4 left as of 8:00pm lol. They aren't located in the electronics section, but hidden under the shelves facing the cash registers towards the mall. So just walk past the electronics section towards the mall then make a left and look down... BAM they are all there lol.

It was funny purchasing the unit as the guy at the cash register was like wtf... why does it keep scanning with another item as 5.05. I guess he didn't know about the environmental handling charge and I just played stupid ahahha. He was getting frustrated and just voided the 5.05 and charged me only 49.99 plus tax woot woot! lol

Tip: Be sure to check out and pay at the electronics register and make sure its the old man ;) He will void the environmental handling fee ahaha :P

McGuinty's lot quietly slipped it into effect this week. Kept me from buying another printer, so they've saved me money. Didn't help the economy much though.

There are 3 left at Erin Mills mall Mississauga.

Snagged one... thanks OP!

my hp1020 toner cartridge is just starting to run out.... and (sadly) this deal is cheaper than a replacement and just slightly more than offbrand/toner refill.

Can any parts of laser printers, or their supplies, expire while unused and in storage? Just wondering in case I see a good deal on toner, say, enough to want to stock up. I have a Samsung laser from BD myself.

Generally no, as long as it's kept properly in storage.

[Tornado F2]

Generally no, as long as it's kept properly in storage.

Thanks, that's good to hear. I've had ink cartridges dry up on me in the past (especially Lexmark) so I was hoping laser was better.

[dichaeld]

You could always go to a toner refill place and have them refill the cartridge. Then you can buy and add the ink powder yourself since they did all the trouble of drilling the refill hole in the correct area ;) saves a ton of money

[humster01]

Picked up last one at Belleville today and did not have to pay $5.05 enviromental fee.

So where exactly are these printers being stored? I've called almost all the Zellers in Toronto/Scarb/North York and none of them have it - do you think it's b/c the electronics department don't even know? Like it's not held in that section anymore?

Where'd you guys find them?

It's a 2 or 3 year old model. Odds are the majority of stores simply don't have them. The fact that any stores still had stock at all is testimony to Zellers' poor stock management - these should have been sold out over a year ago.

[cho1104]

Just picked out up at Edmonton Millswood Zellers yesterday.
I have been searching for it across the city. However, no luck.
Yesterday I was shopping at CT and there is a Zellers near by.
There were 5 (now 4 left after mine) in the electronics department, on the top of the shelf.
The price tag was showing $149.99.
I took it to the front and asked for a price check.
The staff scanned it and told me it is $49.99. I told him the tag shows $149.99.
But he wasn't shocked at all, he said it's $49.99. I think he might sell it to someone already.
I picked one up for about $60. (there is $8.00 in Alberta for environmental fee).
Overall it is a good deal since I need one to print my thesis.

The staff scanned it and told me it is $49.99. I told him the tag shows $149.99.
But he wasn't shocked at all, he said it's $49.99. I think he might sell it to someone already.
I picked one up for about $60. (there is $8.00 in Alberta for environmental fee).
Overall it is a good deal since I need one to print my thesis.

Same here in BC, Metrotown zellers.

The tag is 49.99, but with environmental fee for 8.00, it comes to around 60 something.

the box was kind of beat up a little bit, but the contents are all new.

Even the toner is still sealed, so i'm happy with it.

Finally got a printer that I can print flyers to PM~~~~!

damn, i wonder how long does it take me to save the $60 that i spend on the printer.

[EmperorOfCanada]

Good luck:cheesygri

Purchased! Still 4 left I think.

Thanks OP.

Does anyone know how much the toner cost for this? (or refill price?)

[Gee]

I think a new high yield toner cartridge costs more than the printer itself.

Millwoods town centre electronics department, on the far right side on the top shelves. If you even ask about the $49.99 laserjet printer they will probably know which one you are talking about.

*edit*
They are priced at $149.99 on the wall, but they scan in at $49.99

[nedjel]

Thanks, OP ! Got the last one in North Van Zellers (Lynn Valley). Nice little printer. Installed on Vista and runs fine. $49.99 - 10% (applied for HSBC card) just to get the discount to offset the recycling fee ($8). Great deal.
No more ink (blood suckers).

[supportdeals]

Good deal
Thanks

Hi there does anyone have any idea if the sale is over thanks

Im not sure if this was ever actually a sale, I think it is just a clearance price.
If you see the printer and it shows $149 just ask them to scan it and make sure its still the lower price.

[bimmas]

There are around 12-15 at Cambridge plaza...

[lucho2000]

Thanks EmperorOfCanada and bimmas any idea if there are any in Brampton i will check today and post later this afternoon.

Thanks crazdefool.

If anyone in St. John's NL is looking for one, there's one left on the shelf at the Stavanger location (none at Topsail Rd). Shelf sticker still says $149.99 but it scans at $49.99.

[nx6288]

When did you pick it up?

Last Wednesday...there was only one left on the shelf in the Electronics section and one behind the counter which I assumed was bought already and was just simply behind held for someone.

If you print that infrequently then this laser printer is a good match for you as it has no print heads to dry out or clog up.

[cho1104]

A bit OT, but when are HBC going to resume the bonus points coupons? It looks like they've let another month slip by, and without the bonus points there really isn't much incentive to shop there. That's why they've always got all this years-old stock sitting forgotten on their shelves.

[jaeterius]

I Just picked up one today.

Also, the toner for this was only $40, HP manufacturer.

I've never bought laser toner before, is this a deal? Or was I better off just buying 2 printers instead?

The printer would have a starter cartridge with less toner, so you got more toner for less money and saved the environment too. I think you made the best choice.:lol:

[funkyjoce]

The toner cartridge for the hp 1018 is 75$ at stapples so its a steal. the toner goes for over 2000 pages

[Evil Baby]

first, thanks OP. Sadly my local Zellers had none.


I live very close to Bramalea City Centre, and just popped down there to purchase one of these printers. As of now, there are still 5 of these on the shelf - however, 2 of the units look to me like they were opened and resealed. They are stickered at $49.99.

UPC 882780435094 on sticker.

Thanks for the UPC I'll call the other ones in the area to see if I get lucky.

[funkyjoce]

I don't know if i should buy this printer or keep my laserjet 4L that i have now for 10 ten years and the original toner just got empty.

They say 4L does 3500 pages but i sure did more in 10 years.

I know the p1018 should be faster. But i could just order a refill kit 6.95usd with the tool to make holes 6.95usd plus shipping. that would easily make 25$ cad.

But i don't know if the drums will keep up another 10 years?

What do guys think?

55 tax in for a new or 25 for a refill

[epnimn]

Great price. Two left in stock when I was there. Regarding the cartridge refilling, I've heard this works good. But no need for the hole melting tool. The downside when using a drill is the shavings getting inside. Hold the cartridge over your head and drill it upside down. All the shavings fall out.

[Trooper8111]

3 left at the Pointe-Claire, Qc location.

[jbfd]

My sister-in-law wants me to get her a new laser printer. I found two suitable cheap choices.

The HP Laserjet 1018 looks like a good basic laser printer for her and I was able to buy one from Zellers for her at the $49.95 price + taxes and $8 enviro fee.

The Samsung Mono Laser Printer (ML-2240) is currently on sale at FS for $59.99 until tomorrow. In fact I picked it up from FS on Monday and they sold it to me for $53.99 + taxes + $8 enviro fee during their CA sale.

Which printer would you keep? How do these compare?

[Trooper8111]

Which printer would you keep? How do these compare?

Toss up really. I would just check the price and availability of the cartridges. That said I would probably lean towards the HP only because I've had good experiences with their inkjets before.

I'd say keep the 4L. Old(er) LaserJets have very good reliability and parts/consumable availability. My LaserJet 4000N is still going strong, I'm glad I saved it from the trashcan :cheesygri

[barto]

Grabbed one at the Edmonton Kingsway Zellers...had phoned first to check stock and the gal said they had 4 or 5, but I only saw one more on the shelf.

Fast compared to the now-replaced LJ1100, but noisier when doing the actual printing. Still, pretty happy with it - thanks OP!!

Refill. Saves the environment and saves you money. Printers usually only come with a starter cartridge too.

Is it cheaper to refill a starter cartridge? Or would places charge the same as a normal 12A cartridge?

[Eyedol]

My local store still have 5 printers and they lowered the price to 29.99$ and no one really cares.Too bad I bought it when it was 49.99. I live in Quebec but far away from any major city so I'm probably among a very few RFDer in my area.

[Mexi-Can]

Zellers St Laurent had them at $29.99 as well.

I bought the last two (one for me one for my nephew).

The price tag was $49.99 but the guy there told me that it was on sale for $29.99 before he even scanned it.

It must be all across Canada.

[StEeElNuTz]

if anyone could tell me if they saw one around the mtl area (laval, st jerome, etc.) it would be really nice :)

This is not the same printer... Zellers has the older version and the reason why the 1018 is superior is because the toner that comes with it is good for up to 2000 pages vs 1500 pages for the p1005. The toner for 1018 also is easier and cheaper to refill

I bought one for my wife a few months back for $49. Works great. If I see one for $29 I'm grabbing it for when my Samsung runs out of toner (You can't refill the toner on the Samsung since it has the cartridge with the chip in it.).

[slice]

I had a bit of time on my hands this afternoon so I checked 2 local Zellers (Oshawa Centre - nothing, 5 Points Mall - Oshawa 1 ... and I bought it.)

I can't get my head around the additional Ontario $5.00 recycling fee. If I left an old printer for disposal then it makes sense. I'm paying to dispose this printer as soon as I buy it. Strange since I'll probably have to pay again to dispose of it (hopefully that won't be for awhile). Don't get me wrong, I'm all for saving the planet, but the majority of this recycling issue is based on junk science and fear mongering not to mention a money grab at times. Meanwhile, there are companies experiencing huge financial windfalls as a result of the plastic bag fallacy. It makes me green alright... as in wanting to be sick!

Well enough of that. Back to today's more pleasurable thoughts of my printer purchase and scoring a FS price match on the BBC box set of The Office ($6.06 total).

Different cartridge all together. When my Samsung toner empties I won't be hard pressed to get a new toner cartridge right away since I'll press my HP into action. BTW, toner cartridges for the Samsung is priced at over $100 unless you purchase one of those generic brand cartridges (around 80 bucks) from an ink store.

Went to Market Mall's Zeller in Calgary. Bought the last one for $34.99. It wasn't $29.99, but still darn cheap. I didn't feel like arguing with the cashier. $8 environmental fee is stoopid, though.

[magster]

The price must have gone up to $34.99, I picked-up one for that price at the Zellers in Orleans (Ottawa area). Even though it's not $29.99, it's still a good deal. They still had about 5 left at that location if anyone is interested.

Did that inclide the $5.05 enviro fee? Sounds like it might.

Price scanned at $34.99 and then the $5.05 enviro fee was added separately on the bill. Not sure why the printer price went up by $5 (from $29.99 to $34.99). I didn't argue with the cashier as I usually find Zellers staff not particularly helpful.

Darn, HBC seem determined to lose customers. Why set the price low then raise it? That's no way to clear out old stock.

[Evermore]

Price went up for sure from $29.99. The environmental fee is +$8, so it came to about $42 bucks. Still cheap for a laser printer. Better than re-filling toner in my old one.

No you didn't. I just picked up the last one today at that location and it was BNIB! :D

Was I surprised it was still there 3 weeks after you bought yours.

But I only paid $24.99 +$5.05 envir fee +taxes :D

Currently they're offering an additional 50% off last clearance price for all computer accessories.

I believe the fluctuation in pricing on this item is due to the various "additional" discount percentages they offer on clearance items at different times. Sometimes the % off goes up, sometimes down.

I think it was a clearance item back then too - note that the none of the $29.99 prices were from the heavily populated urbarn centres. There's probably still many to be had in ON, but not in the GTA that's for sure.

Best thing I can recommend to is call a place and ask them to transfer it to a location near you.

The printer is wired, so a software/driver issue?
What OS are you using and do you have the latest drivers specific to that OS?
(download off HP site)
Also try plugging the printer into another available port.

I'm running Windows XP, with the latest LJ1018 printer drivers. I've tried plugging the printer into different ports and I end up with the same results.

When the printer is setup for "stand alone" operation, it functions normally. As soon as it's shared, printing from network printers doesn't work and their print jobs end up "clogging" the print queue. I've read that this is due to the host-based driver, but I haven't come across any solution that seems to work.

If anyone has this setup as a shared printer and has it working, I'd appreciate any tips you have.

Thanks.

I had a problem smiliar at my work, not with this model a 1022n but it could have the same problem

first thing i did is upgraded the firmware version to the newest on the hp website

then i uncheck the birectionnal mode in the port tab of the printer properties,

i find bidirectionnal printing cause alot of problem with network shared printer from a server, (hp 1022n and hp 2600n)

in my setup the printer is connected to the server by network and shared on the server (windows server 2003 (but work alot like windows xp for sharing))

and it should not have any impact thats it connected trought network or usb since when i had this problem the sever could always print but client could not.

I'm pretty sure you have the same problem, it's possible upgrading the firmware won't have a change too, but with 1022n i had problem with the printer it took 2 print job to wake the printer from stand by, now it works fine :p

hope it helps

sorry for my english.

Many thanks for the response. Your english is good, don't apologize for it!

I checked on the HP website and there doesn't seem to be a firmware update for the 1018... I've tried disabling the bidirectional support, but it doesn't seem to help... from my google searches it looks like the 1018 isn't a good candidate if you intend to share it on a network.

Looks like I'm going to have to think more about taking it back.

[johngeush]

did you try uninstalling the printer,

installing the printer

disable bidirectionnal support

assure that the queue is clear and not in pause state

you could also try to restart the print spooler (control panel --- admin tools --- service ---- print spooler --- restart)

also check the security of the sharing, try with an admin account

anyway, if that does not work, i have no clue, I dont see why the printer would not print the computer just transfer the data, i dont think the printer can see that its the computer or another on the network that send the task, it just received a task sent trought the usb

i dont have anymore idea, in theory it should work... but it's not always true :(

I did not check the price. I think I paid $29 + $5 environmental fee + taxes. Less than $40 all included.

[dealsssss]

Looks like it's all sold out.

I am running Windows 7 and sharing this printer, and get the exact same problem. I was able to get some drivers for our mac laptop which work, but the print queue keeps getting clogged up as you say.

I find that if I restart the print spooler service that gets things printing again, but its a pain. When I get some time I will see if there are any newer printers that use the same print engine and may have compatible drivers.

Thx OP. I went to a few locations when this deal was first posted and came up empty. But I lucked into one yesterday at a location I know I had already checked previously - so keep your eyes open.

It was the $50 price and item had to be manually entered to find it (wouldn't self-scan at the price checkers around the store).

Later on, I'll see if it works with my DLink DIR-655 router via the Sharepoint USB feature. Anyone tried networking it this way?
