You must have gotten a bad one. Mine works great after 3 or 4 years, but
then again, I don't work it near as hard as you probably do.

| Just as a counterpoint to Neil, I really cannot recommend 
| Ricoh printers at all. My Ricoh AP2610 (the predecessor to 
| the AP610 -- they use all the same parts) has easily been the 
| worst printer I have ever owned. On top of that, the toner 
| cartridges are extremely expensive and many are defective 
| out-of-the box or start to fail long before the ink is out 
| (black smudges on the padge, etc.) (These are Ricoh 
| cartridges, not third-party cartridges.) I have, on multiple 
| occasions, had to call in a Ricoh tech for a house call (at $300 a
| visit) to fix essential parts that have broken off, etc.
| 
| When I bought the printer, the price seemed too good to be 
| true -- and it was.
