    I’ve had this printer for a couple years. It’s been…three computers. I use it oddly–it might not be turned on for a month or more, then suddenly I want it to spit out a 500-page manuscript. And it DOES. It’s never jammed or given me any kind of issues. I have Vista (Home Basic) on this latest computer and I haven’t had a problem.

    HP makes some fantastic printers. This is one of them. I’m so sad they aren’t selling this anymore, because I tell all my writer friends to buy this!

    I’m basing this review on my “pre-Vista” experience. This printer is not really supported by HP for Vista (even though they say it is). It has not been reliable since I upgraded to Vista.

    Vista issue aside, I love this little printer. The first-page out is relatively quick and overall printing is fast. The text is sharp and clear. The printer is small and pretty compact, so it can sit almost anywhere. I have had no problems with paper handling (although I have not done much with envelopes and the like). The printer has a manual sheet feed which can come in handy for labels, etc. No fancy features here– just a good basic printer that’s easy to use. Toner cartridges seem a bit expensive, but I’ve found that to be the case with pretty much any printer.

  3. I have had this printer for three years and have found it to be very reliable. It’s truly a workhorse. The print quality is excellent, as are the graphics, if you don’t mind grayscale or black and white. I’m using Windows 2000, so I can’t tout it’s compatibly with Windows XP or Vista, however I can say that it is Linux compatible. I have run it with Slackware (versions 10.1-12), Knoppix 3.4, Fedora Core (versions 2-4) and Uubuntu 7.4 and have had no trouble in either (depending on the Linux distribution) configuring it or having it be detected by the operating system. I will also say that it prints some fine professional quality envelopes. I am so happy with this printer’s performance, that I’m ordering a new (well, new to me) one as a backup. This is an excellent quality printer that will convince you that laser printers are the way to go if you need a printer with power.

  4. I purchased this product because I was looking for a printer for my new Mac. My previous printer which I was using with Windows ran fine (HP LaserJet) but there were no drivers for my new Mac. I had a second toner cartridge I wanted to be able to use. I found this pre owned unit and it works great and uses the same toner cartridge.

    I have this printer and loved it when I was using Windows XP. It is much more economical on ink than inkjets. The print quality is also higher. I gave this printer 1 star because HP has chosen to drop support on it in Windows 7. I believe that as consumers we should shy away from vendors who won’t support their own products. My older Canon printers had no problem with getting drivers for Windows 7 so that’s the vendor I’ll be purchasing future products from.
