Dell B1165nfw
Dell's B1165nfw is a neat mono laser MFP, though with a couple of minor shortcomings for day-to-day use.
Easy maintenance, Well-designed controls, Low power for laser
No paper tray cover, Relatively high page cost, Slow Android print

Dell B1165nfw review
The Dell B1165nfw is a logical purchase if you're shopping for a no-frills, monochrome laser printer to output simple, text-heavy documents, but still want the functionality of an all-in-one output machine.
The Dell B1165nfw is a dutiful monochrome laser printer that can also act as a standalone scanner, copier, and fax machine. It's cloud-ready with native support for Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Dell's own mobile Android application.
The printer includes a "starter" cartridge with less-than-average capacity, no upgrades exist for the limited paper tray, and there's no media card reader.
As long as you don't mind not being able to print from a USB flash key, the Dell B1165nfw's healthy array of extra features and quick outbound print cycle make it worthwhile for small offices with wireless access.

Dell Multifunction Mono Laser Printer B1165nfw ( B/W )
Armed with the ability to function as a standalone scanner, copier, and fax machine, the $199.99 Dell B1165nfw is just as capable of flipping through a 40-page document stack for automatic copying as it is of printing directly from an Android...

Dell B1165nfw Mono Laser Multifunction Printer
The Dell B1165nfw Monochrome Laser Multifunction Printer offers a full set of MFP features for light-duty use.
Prints, scans, copies, and faxes. Small size. Automatic document feeder. Ethernet. Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Direct.
Low paper capacity. No duplexer (for two-sided printing), even as an option.
If you need a shared MFP in your micro office for even medium-duty printing, this is clearly the wrong printer to get. You'll be better off with the Dell B1265dnf Multifunction Mono Laser Printer or the Canon imageClass MF4880dw instead. However, if...

In nearly 50 years of working with computers, I have never come across such a poor product.Firstly it was very difficult to unpack it and put it together. The instructions were useless - I had to use a torch to try to see how the cartridge fitted and I...

Dell B1165nfw
I needed a printer with an ADF scanner, and this one works faultlessly. Very neat on the desktop. Includes Paperport software, which looks professional. Cost less that a full tank of diesel for my Mondeo - incredible! Thank you, a bargain.
None so far.
