what a work horse! [Posted on 2003-03-21]
I have three of these printers for my office (Also a Cannon IR5000 and an HP Color 4500 to explain the caliber of printers that I use. The first one I have had for 3 years and it works as good as the day I got it. I use it for between 20 and 200 pages a day EVERY day. The Extended life toner cartridge seems to last FOREVER. The network feature was quite easy to setup through NT, XP, and 2000 using the standard Windows Drivers.. Heck I didn't even need a driver disk - How cool is that? The second and third ones are general office printers which handle 200+ pages a day. Again easy network configuration and never a problem. I don't [care]what the resolution is, or that fact that is spits out 16+ pages a minute - All that matters for me is that it works, I don't ever have to fix it, and it's super fast. I work in a wood shop and I swear this thing sits under 1/2 inch of dust. I blow it off with an air hose once a month and that is it. The manual feed works great too. One more thing - In the seemingless infinte printouts we make - we have never had one jam... Not ONE. Stop looking and buy this printer! You will not forgive yourself if you pass it up. I would and will buy this printer again. Matthew
Stay away from this type of printer [Posted on 2006-03-19]
In the hospital I worked we have HP laserjet 4050N in every floor. Initially, it looks okay but later a lot of problem with paper jam and not recognizing the size of paper. More than half of printers in the hospital end up feeding from the front, in attempt to trick that stupid HP printer. Otherwise, it stopped printing after first page. HP has a very unreliable customer support and they won't waste their time once 1 yr warrenty period is over. They don't even seem to know the printers they produced and will suggest you to buy a new one.
great printer, rare jams, reliable, wise investment. [Posted on 2006-12-31]
I have at least one to two of this model printer in the offices I work at because they are so reliable, and need minimal maintenence. All of mine are in health care settings, where records are key. The toner last for many sheets of printing (never counted, but I know I probably go more than 1000 sheets at least). The printer rarely jams (except when I used really cheap thin paper), and the secretaries love the sheet feed selection if having to use overhead paper for a letter. The quality of the print (i believe up to 1200dpi) is great for black and white. Highly recommended investment, quite likely one of the last printers your office will need.
Fantastic Printer! [Posted on 2007-01-10]
This printer delivers exceptional quality and performance, it's fast, and it's tremendously reliable. It is a true workhorse, and that is priceless. I have printed an average of 100-200 pages per day, every day, for the last 4+ years, and have never been disappointed (and I have very low tolerance for products that don't work!). I have needed only one service call, and that was easy too, because the HP site provides links to service providers. The tech came out the next day, and he went beyond repairing and replacing the part; he cleaned the machine inside and out, made suggestions for maximum usage and efficiency, and provided excellent customer service. With HP, I truly feel that I am getting so much product (and innovation and reliability) for so little money (and, no, I don't own their stock!).
Good general performance, but lots of "paper jams" [Posted on 2007-11-07]
We have about 6 LaserJet 4050 printers and we are generally happy with them; however, there is a serious problem with the print feed rollers on these machines. We find that users complain of paper jams after a few thousand prints. It is always the case that the paper has not actually jammed, but is sitting on the hold down brackets because the lower pf roller has warn and can't pick it up. Replacing the pf rollers resolves the issue, but is a constant problem (pf roller run around $4.00 each).
