| Pillar (weight) | Score | What it is based on |
|---|---|---|
| Owner ratings (28%) | — | No retailer rating with enough reviews to use. |
| Expert reviews (20%) | — | TechGearLab tested it but we could not verify a numeric overall score; it rated text quality and ease of use poorly and speed and running cost well. |
| Cost per page (18%) | 96 | About 1¢ per page with our compatible Canon 137 (2,400 pages, $24.95); TechGearLab put Canon's own toner at about 3¢ a page. |
| Reliability (18%) | 66 | Most-reported problems: Wi-Fi setup that needs a USB connection because there is no screen; faint or uneven text in TechGearLab's testing; poor graphics. |
| Features (11%) | 56 | Mono print only at up to 28 pages per minute; auto two-sided printing; Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB; 250-sheet cassette; five buttons and no display. |
| Value (5%) | — | Not scored without owner ratings |
Limited data: We could not find enough owner ratings or published expert scores for this printer, so those weights are spread across the other pillars. With neither owner ratings nor a published expert score, we cap this printer at 69 (Situational) until better data is available.
Discontinued. Canon's LBP6230dw and later LBP122dw replaced it; Canon 137 is still widely sold, including our compatible version.

What imageCLASS LBP151dw owners ask
These come from TechGearLab's hands-on review and owner reviews of the 137 family, answered in our words.
How do I set up Wi-Fi with no screen?
TechGearLab's biggest complaint. Use WPS push-button on the router, or connect by USB once and run Canon's wireless setup tool; the five-button panel can't enter a password on its own.
Why is my text faint or patchy?
TechGearLab scored text quality a surprising 3 out of 10. Turn off toner-save in the driver, raise density in the printer settings, and make sure the cartridge's sealing tape came out fully.
Does it print two-sided?
Yes, automatically, which is unusual at its price.
Why does it say "non-Canon cartridge" with genuine toner?
Expired cartridges are the usual cause. Reseat and power-cycle; our compatibles carry a fresh chip and are replaced under our 1-year guarantee if refused.
Is it good for graphics?
No. The review called graphics and photo output poor; it's a text printer.
LBP151dw quirks worth knowing
- Fast for its class: TechGearLab scored speed 8 out of 10, and Canon rates it at 28 pages a minute.
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB, with a 250-sheet cassette.
- Canon's LBP6230dw and later LBP122dw replaced it; the LBP122dw uses 071 toner.
