How fast does it print (ppm)?

Output at up to 12 pages per minute in black and white, and at up to 8 pages per minute in color. Good quality. No jamming problems for 3 years now. Really like the colors vs. my old Brother printer.

Yea, it works great for that. I bought it for that exact reason. I used it all semester and the black cartridge never ran out, and when printing black and white stuff, it runs pretty fast as well.

Quick Scan is quick,maybe 5 seconds. At 7200dpi highest resolution it can take 5 minutes. At 3200dpi its maybe 2couple minutes. I haven't actually timed it. I'm pleased with the results I'm getting. A good value.

I only use this printer to print construction prints and details, in B&W; only, mostly on fast speed. In this case I have been very happy with the amount of prints I have gotten. I'm not sure how many I've printed, but it's been quite a few and I am just now needing to change the black cartridge. I have no idea in regards to color prints.

I would agree that at it's best it can spit out 20 pages a minute like the page description says, but I mostly do printing myself that involves a little more saturation and it takes longer and those take longer.

It scans fairly quickly but I'm not sure how to put that into context. I don't ever find myself waiting on it like I did with my old scanners. I'd say it takes 2~3 seconds for a full page but I haven't actually timed it - may be faster than that. You can print double sided automatically [duplex printing is supported].

This is a very good question. It is fast, but: The printer prints at the advertized speed once it starts. A lot depends on the source. It can take from 10 to 45 seconds to start the actual printing. I find the 45 seconds too long for me at times. In my case, the printer is on a gigabit network. It starts printing faster from my 7 year PC than it does from my super fast 6 month old PC. HP support is useless. In spite of this, I definitely would recommend this printer.

I just scanned 28 pages in about 2 minutes (I say about because I didn't use a timer with seconds) - my settings were Black & White, 400 DPI, Searchable OCR, single sided. I regularly scan documents ranging from a couple pages to 60 - 80 pages and almost never have a skip or miss. I mostly scan directly to Adobe Acrobat X Standard rather than the Brother software but I don't think that affects the speed. I like Adobe Acrobat Standard since it is easier to work with the documents afterwards (and it does a better job of auto sensing portrait vs landscape as I often have a mix of documents).

If the paper is flat without wrinkles it will scan very fast with a steady hand. I usually scan a 8 X 11 copy in about 6 are 7 seconds.

I've owned my printer about 5-6 months so far & not had any problems with it. It's small sits on a small table beside my desk. It's fast printing, clear type, no smears,uses a USB port to hookup to the PC. I'd recommend buying it, I'm sure you'll like it as much as I do..

I would have to estimate, but I believe it probably got me through at least 500 to 800 pages. I didn't count. I bought it in July 2012, and just had to refill it again in July 2014. I probably print about 25 to 75 pages a month.

I bought the USB to 25 pin cable to connect my Lexmark 333 printer to a Dell computer and it was instant plug and print, I could not believe it was that easy.

I keep very careful records. I usually print once a month (3 -13"x19") prints. I find the Pixma Pro 100 averages 41 (13"x19") prints per cartridge. Some colors get 30 prints per cartridge and some as much as 60 prints per cartridge. But it averages out to 41 prints. On the Canon site they show how many 11"x14" prints they get per cartridge. Interestingly enough if you measure the print sizes in sq. inches and convert to 13"x19" it comes out to the same results I have achieved.

I do believe it states printable 8x max speed ..Rather it be by inkjet or another way, I don't use any kind of printer .. Hopes this helps you somewhat ,,

The 320 has 3 speeds that can be controlled with the buttons on the face or by the program. HSD is the fastest. UTL is in the middle. NLQ (near letter quality) is the slowest.The ML420 is a little faster and has 4 speeds.The other 2 responses are right on with their comments.If you are printing a lot of pages one page after another a laser printer is faster and quitter but the cost per page and the time of maintaining the printer will go up dramatically. The life of a laser printer is less then a forth of the life of a ML.

We use it to prototype an application. So we didn't use it to its full potential. But I can tell from my printing experience with this printer, it will print 2 to 3 cards per min both sides. I did not try one side only printing. It might be faster if you are printing one side. I hope I answered your question.

For my uses it printed quickly. If a person only wants to print documents at a high rate of speed, there are other kinds of printers out there that are built to do so. Compared to my other printers in the past, this one is average.
