Stop shopping; buy this one!,

This review is from: Hewlett Packard 4100N LaserJet Printer (Office Product)
For the best in all round small workgroup printing (3 to 20 people), this is the perfect printer -- it works well with everything from MS-DOS and Windows to Unix, Apple, and even the IBM AS/400. It will continue to run 24 X 7 with little maintenance required. I have used this model and its predecessors (4050N, 4000N, etc.) in a hospital environment for over 5 years and the most serious repairs needed were a scheduled maintenance kit change (easy to do if you can use a screwdriver and read directions) and several paper jam incidents which are traceable to "wet" paper. (If you open a ream of paper, use it now; don't leave it on a shelf for 6 months.) The print quality is excellent for all general purpose business papers. If you want color and are picky about graphics, look to the Xerox Phaser. Also, I have no complaints about speed; again on normal business papers, you will not have to stand around and wait on these printers. As to suggestions for improvement: If you are going to...Read more

This printer is so easy to install, I just left the option on
for DHCP and within seconds our Wk2 and linux systems were
cranking out the print jobs. The built in web server and HP's
Web Jet Admin are a breeze to use. The 500 sheet paper
capacity means I dont spend most of my time reloading the paper
tray!! When I need to print on special media types, I just pop
open the front tray load and print, no fussing with changing the
paper out in the main tray. The 10000 documents per toner cartride is a spectacular value which really becomes obvious when
those print jobs start flowing through with over 250 copies at
25 ppm and the toner indicator on the web page does not even
move.. wow!!! what a printer!!!

An Excellent Printer!,

This review is from: Hewlett Packard 4100N LaserJet Printer (Office Product)
For the past year or so, I had been noticing that my old HP LaserJet 5MP was taking longer and longer to print. Of course, the fact that my documents have been getting progressively more complex probably had something to do with it...but I'll choose to blame the printer. Finally fed up with my circa-1995 printer, I started the search to replace it. I looked at a lot of different units, but finally decided on the 4100N. I've used these in the business world, but wanted something that could deal with a fairly high-volume home office printing requirement, was fast, and had great print quality.In a nutshell, the 4100N fulfilled all my requirements and then some. Setup was a breeze - just open the box, take out the printer, remove the packing materials, put the toner cartridge in (piece of cake), put in a ream of paper, plug in to power and network and turn it on. On the Windows XP side, just put the CD in the drive and push the install button. The install software even...Read more
