So let everyone else fight over the GX420d's, and be smarter by getting an undervalued GX420t.
but if you can read and follow instructions, you can set it up (I have no computer background and was able to stumble my way through it). That is why they have such a bad rep for set up. This printer will NOT auto-assign an IP address using DHCP. If you download the manual, go to page 60-something on setting up network and you'll have to use Powershell to glean an IP address to get into to the internal printer server to set the IP on your network. Locate and download the latest driver for your printer model, then follow the installation instructions on the manufacturer’s website. Some support sites let you search for your printer model number directly. So in the past few weeks I've picked up two GX420t's for under $100 that are in perfect condition, work perfectly, and I use as direct thermal so I don't have to buy ribbons. Driver updates are often available in the Drivers section of a printer manufacturer’s website. I think everyone is assuming the d is no ribbon and the t requires a ribbon, but it just isn't true. I did some research and learned that the d's were direct thermal (no ribbon) and the t's *could* use a ribbon (direct transfer), but also work as direct thermal (no ribbon). A few months ago I was looking for a GX420 printer and noticed the used GX420t's were going for $75-$100 while most GX420d's cost twice that.
