fast and reliable [Posted on 2006-12-28]
I purchase one of these and a 5100 for an architectural firm. They have both worked flawlessly for over a year now with moderate to heavy use.

Outstanding Laser Printer For 11X17 Card Stock [Posted on 2007-09-18]
I received my HP 5200 yesterday, and with a bit of labor (It is a very heavy printer) placed it into my home office area. The printed documentation is sparse, so you'll need to browse the PDF manual located on the CD. I quickly found what I needed: how to set the output to Pro Resolution, the highest, and how to insert large 11"X17" paper stock; the 5200 has a front manual load tray above the enclosed bottom paper tray. Within minutes I had installed the drivers and hooked up the machine, opened a file in Adobe Illustrator I had designed especially for 11X17, and selected the 5200 in the Printer Menu. I hit Print, and ZIP!, less than a second later the full 11X17 flew out of the 5200! And the print is incredible; the text was exceptionally crisp and the black art image was super rich and extremely sharp. Exactly what I was hoping for, and expecting for what I paid.

As an illustrator I plan on using this printer to set up graphic novel pages of text, art and frames, which I'll then print out to pencil on and ink final art. Then I'll scan on my Epson GT 15000 11X17 for publishing. HP says to expect printing of 10,000 pages on a single toner cartridge, but I expect less using 11X17 Bristol card stock. That's still a lot of printing from one cartridge. I highly recommend this product if you are creating graphic art or architectural projects.

Screen print shop owner -- Very pleased [Posted on 2008-02-15]
We own a silk screen printing business and demand quality and accuracy. This printer (HP LJ 5200) fits the bill. The 5200 is one fast puppy! Toner displacement is good (heavy and very black) which is great for printing both positives and negatives. Nice sized paper tray holds 250+ sheets & is capable of large format printing (14"x17"). Overall, with the machine I have no complaints.

Cons: Very heavy - 45 lbs
Quick setup instructions is vague
Users manual is on CD only
Tech support is in Costa Rica - very helpful but difficult for this Gringo to understand!

Over all we are very satisfied and hope to get many years use from this purchase.

Bad Luck, Bad Printer [Posted on 2008-08-06]
As luck would have it. I purchased this printer and was only able to get 40 prints from it before the internal cpu for the printer died.

The repair and return policies from HP were not a satisfactory solution for the dollar amount of this purchase. HP's offered solution was to send out a refurbished unit to replace my new unit with me paying half the cost of shipping. That sure makes the 40 prints I got from the original unit pretty pricey not to mention I would be the proud owner of a refurbished unit that I have no idea where it has been. The other option I have been given is to wait for several weeks for a repair center to get the part needed and repair the unit. In the mean time I have no printer to achieve the goal this printer was purchased for.

The falty printer and the non-acceptable return policy of HP makes this purchase a risky buy. Consider your options on alternative products before commiting on this one.

I am in some kind of eternal "call you back" loop with HP if any acceptable solution is offered I will be back to append my comments.
