What imageCLASS LBP228dw owners ask

These come from owner reviews of Canon's 057 family at Amazon and Best Buy, PCMag's MF445dw review and supply-site data, answered in our words.

How is the LBP228dw different from the LBP226dw and LBP227dw?

Same 40-page-per-minute engine and 057 toner; the LBP228dw sat at the top of the series with NFC and a larger display. Any of the three guides applies.

Can it scan or copy?

No. It's print-only; the MF445dw, MF448dw and MF449dw add scanning, copying and fax with the same toner.

Why does it drop off Wi-Fi?

Usually after sleep. Reserve an IP address on the router, or use Ethernet.

Will compatible toner work?

Yes. Our 057 and 057H carry working chips, and we replace any the printer refuses under our 1-year guarantee.

Is there a drum to replace?

No. It's built into the cartridge.

LBP228dw quirks worth knowing

  • Automatic two-sided printing, a 250-sheet cassette and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, with an optional 550-sheet cassette.
  • Canon's current LBP246dw II uses different toner.
  • A 057H lasts most home offices the better part of a year.
