Limited (by drivers?) to 600dpi, but its B and W prints look great, just works every time.
Great little printer.

From last year on (2007 or later) the native drivers are working fine. Previous it would print A4 paper with the wrong measurement. A work around was telling it that it was US-Letter and it would behave slightly better.
The printer is known to slightly fold paper due to handling it a bit rough. And it really gets warm after 50+ pages printed so it is probably not very durable under frequent heavy loads.
But it produces clear prints and warms up and sleeps quickly so it is really a pleasure to have.
