HP LaserJet 2420dn Monochrome Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We used an HP LaserJet 4M plus for years. The 2420 warms up quicker and prints much faster.
Unlike the 4M, the 2420 is silent! In fact, I often forget to turn it off when leaving the office.
The descriptions for the 2420 are confusing. The 500-sheet paper tray is NOT included. We bought one separately.

HP LaserJet 2100 - Printer - B/W - laser - Legal, A4 - 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi - up to 10 ppm - capacity: 350 sheets - AC 230 V Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up my HP Laserjet 2100 at a flea market for $5.00 around 2001 or so and it has served me well ever since, including the toner cartridge. I was able to find a post script level 2 personality chip for the printer used for $8 including shipping, so it can serve my mac printing as well. Since the printer includes an ethernet print server by default it makes an excellent home, small office or department printer. The printer is rated at 10 ppm and delivers well, especially for text only documents. It handles graphics, spreadsheets, charts and I have never run into a problem with fonts. Printing in PS is slightly slower than pcl 6 which is the native print engine. Using the built in networking I am able to print from any computer in my house and am able to keep the printer in the basement and out of the way. It has a web interface and a telnet interface for managing the printer and checking the status of the printer remotely. It's 1200x1200 print resolution provides very high quality text and graphics, particularly text which no inkjet printer can compete with. Another nice thing about this printer compared to inkjet printers, is that the toner never dries out the way ink cartridges do, since it uses toner which is ground up plastic. The only drawback to this printer is the lack of automatic duplexing (printing on both sides of the paper), although it is capable of printing up to 8 pages on a single sheet to save paper and toner. It also lacks color, which I find is no big deal. I have my photos printed at Walmart far cheaper than I could do it at home with an ink jet printer. The paper handling capacity is great with all the usual sizes included and envelopes. Unless you do a lot of color printing and don't mind paying out the nose for ink, I would recommend this printer over any inkjet and most low end brand new laser printers. You just can't go wrong with this baby.

Brother HL-5050 17 PPM 600 dpi Laser Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Setup - easy
Basic Operation - fast and reasonably quiet, appears to be well built.
Printing text - excellent, as good as a much more expensive industrial hp laser printer I frequently use. Nice and dark.
Printing graphics/photos - in highest settings (1200dpi, "improved gray scaling" checked) it's good, but nothing exceptional. The output is not too dark, as is sometimes the problem with other inexpensive lasers.
Manual Duplex printing - this was at first confusing to me because I wanted to use the lower paper tray to do it all: print one side and then feed the output back again into the lower tray to print the other side (if you have more than 50 sheets you need to use the lower tray). This did not work for me until I finally hardwired the tray settings from "auto detect" to "tray 1". The manual did not mention this step. New drivers from Brother (as of January 14, 2004) did not fix this. Printing duplex from the multi-purpose tray works fine without having to hardwire the settings.
Customer support - so far not good. I went through much trepidation figuring out how to get the lower tray to work on duplex because I could not reach support people. The number always seems to be busy.
Highs - good, fast prints and reasonably quiet operation.
Lows - documentation is not completely accurate, customer support isn't good. Could use a sleep mode indicator as the previous reviewer mentioned.

Brother HL-1435 Laser Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this printer because I needed to print out lengthy manuscripts, as well as graphics-heavy PDF files. This printer does both very well. It prints very fast if you have one or two pages. When I printed a twenty-page document, it paused every few pages. The entire document printed, crisp and clear. I was particularly impressed with the graphics output, which came out much clearer and sharper than my old HP laser printer.
I would recommend this printer to anyone who needs an affordable laser printer. Be aware that you will need to get a USB cable.

Brother HL-1650 Laser Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this for about a month. The HL-1650 is just about the best $600 I've ever spent. The speed is a little slowish on graphics heavy documents, but still much faster than inkjets with the laser quality output. The unit has a good number of features, but probably the strongest selling point for this unit is duplex printing at the $600 dollar price point. That's about half the cost for an HP with a similar feature without a noticeable drop-off in print quality. Outlets such as Office Depot display both Brother and HP brand laser printers, so they can be compared side by side. I was resistant to buying a laser printer that was not an HP, but I can honestly say I'm glad I took a chance on the Brother HL-1650. For the money it is by far the best printer out there for b&w printing, and the duplex feature makes it an even better buy.

Brother HL-1230 Laser Printer with DR400 Drum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You just can't beat the price! I received the unit just about 45 mins ago and it has flawlessly been installed and configured to run on Windows XP, Windows 98 and a Red Hat 7.3 Linux box (with Samba). The unit is compact but holds almost half a ream of paper and cranked out an 11 page document in just under a minute (validating the 12ppm advertised). The power save feature turns on in an appropriate amount of time (about 90 secs or so) and recovers quickly, no more than 15 seconds. The only drawback is it's lack of expandable memory (although 2MB is a lot for this price) and no USB port if you are interested in that. The standard parallel port seemed quick enough for me. Final thought - better than a great deskjet at the same price!
