Everything works with it, it spits out pages perfectly every time. It's a bit slow to warm up, but that's bearable considering all it's benefits. I'm up to around 4000 pages since I bought a toner for it, and I will probably just get a refill cartridge for less than AU$50. You can usually pick these units up at auction for around the $20 mark, or sometimes less. Mine came with a second paper tray and a jet-direct card, and I'm sure there are other nice extras that people are willing to include just to take it off their hands.
