Xerox B210DNI Monochrome Laser Printer - Fast & Reliable Wireless Printing for Home & Office | Compact White Design for Small Workspaces

I'm going to be honest, I really wanted to purchase a similarly priced Brother printer. As the pandemic had already hit, I wasn't sure how long I'd have to wait for stock so I went with this Xerox. I suspect this printer was in stock due to some of the reviews. As I had worked with plenty of Xerox printers in the past, I went for it. It was appropriately priced, had an appropriate duty cycle for my needs. For the amount and type of printing needed, it would keep costs down. (I usually look at the price of a printer and its ink/maintenance costs at 3 years and at 5 years to determine its real cost.) So, ignoring those negative reviews, it was the perfect choice for my use case.Xerox printers are not the friendliest to set up. I've been working with Xerox printers forever so I didn't have any difficulty. But I can understand how someone else could have difficultly getting this one up and running if the software gives them any issues or doesn't run on their OS.I usually configure printers on the network before even thinking about getting drivers installed. As this printer does not have a screen, I had to plug it into a windows laptop via USB to do the initial set up. (I don't and will never run WPS on my wireless network.) Once it was correctly configured on wireless, I hit the built-in Xerox web server to review/tweak settings. I did have to turn off a cover page as many others mentioned. After that I installed the printer on both PCs and Macs without issue.While I did the initial configuration of the printer on Windows, I did just check the Xerox web site for updates. There is a wifi configuration tool that is supposed to run on both Catalina and Big Sur (at the time of writing, the latest macos version.) You can download it directly from the xerox website. I believe this may be a new software tool that was released after some/all of the negative reviews by mac users. You may want to check the dates on the reviews to be sure. I haven't used the mac wifi utility, but I can say an already configured printer works great on a mac. I haven't had any issues. In fact, over 90% of the printing is done from two macbook pros, one on Big Sur, one on Catalina.
