Speed and quality [Posted on 2004-11-09] This printer is ridiculously fast. We use one as a network printer and I have not been able to walk the 30 feet from my office to the printer before it has finished printing 3 or 4 page PDFs, emails, etc. This printer is faster than our photocopier. 1200x1200 dpi gives excellent detail.
Fast, but Buggy [Posted on 2005-01-25] This printer has a great price, good specs, and fast printing. However, it does have some issues that hopefully HP will work-out.
The firmware seems pretty buggy. We've had several different problems with the printer crashing. Every couple days or so we get a "Service Error" message on the screen and the printer has to be rebooted. Also, I tried printing a large (1000 page) pdf on it and it would just freeze after printing around 140 pages. It froze twice on the exact same number of pages. I had to break it up into print jobs of 100 pages each. We've also seen where it gets in an infinite cycle where it says, "Processing Job" and the data light blinks, but nothing ever comes out. Again, it requires a reboot. We upgraded the firmware, but the problems didn't go away.
FYI, a parallel port doesn't seem to deliver data fast enough to this printer! It consumes data faster than the port can send it. We could only achieve the 45ppm when we hooked it up to the USB 2.0 port. Not sure about the performance when using HP JetDirect internal print server.
This Printer is a Disaster [Posted on 2006-04-22] This printer is very loud. It sounds like a blowdryer and causes the lights in my office to dim (I'm in an old building, but still). I have a USB 2.0 connection, so there should be no problem. It keeps jamming and the help function is completely useless. I used the HP 4000 for many years and was very happy. This printer is a disaster.
Great printer [Posted on 2007-12-20] We have had one of these printers now for more than a year and have yet to have the first problem with it. It prints fast and even at lower resolutions the print quality is still excellent. I am currently getting ready to purchase another one.
So far we have had no problems with this printer and hope that it stays that way. Ii would gladly recommend it to others.
Great Product [Posted on 2007-12-21] This is the second one of these we have owned. This is used in a Law Office and has HIGH output. Highly recommended this product
