I have never had a problem with them.
Mine is wired to the router/modem.
I love the fact that the toner is cheap compared to ink. We print out alot of documents. I usually get a new one when the drum needs replacing.

I also have a scanner/printer color/inkjet that is wireless. That thing gives me grief. I have to run the printer every so often or the ink will clog the jets. I bought a new printer when I could not unclog the jets. Disruptions in internet/power will kick it offline and then it takes forever to set it back up again.
