We have the Canons and they work pretty well. If you are talking about 1 or 2 of them then the management of the printer/scanner functions is ok, but we have over 100 of them and managing them is a royal pain. There isn't any way to script the configuration or make changes to more than one at a time. Each time we change the password on the account used to scan to a network share, we have to open a web page on each copier and change the password for each scan location individually. When you have 2-10 scan locations configured on each copier you have a many hour task to change the password. The other problems we have are things like the copier techs resetting the configuration (we always do that!) or locking us out by changing the password. There are a couple of things you have to be at the copier to configure - the web interface is also not very intuitive. -Brian

Anyone have any good/bad/ugly on these? Kyocera TASKalfa 820 Kyocera KM-5050 Canon ImageRunner 5075 Canon ImageRunner 5055 Xerox Workcentre 5675PT Xerox Workcentre 5655P Spec-wise, they all look very similar. Even the pricing and cost per page are right on. I've never dealt w/ Kyocera - so I am a little hesitant going with them...
