HP P1005 Laserjet Printer

I bought this printer to save some money on ink cartridges, and to print on some very thin paper that inkjet ink showed through. So far, I am very happy with the performance of this printer. I didn't want a laser printer with a lot of features, just a simple machine that I could print on various size paper. I've not had any technical issues to speak of. It's worked perfectly every time.The only problem I had was with some information I was given. Online I chatted with an HP rep on their site. I asked whether the Bluetooth BT-500 adapter would work with this machine. I wanted to be able to print using my laptop. She assured me it would work because it had a USB port. So I ordered the adapter as well. However, not one minute after opening the box I realized that the TYPE of USB port on the printer was not the same as the adapter. I was disappointed that a rep designated to answer questions about printers didn't know the difference between the various types of USB ports. I would expect them to at least have some reference material that tells what is compatible. I did try to find something online about this compatibility, but could find none.

This is a sturdy little printer and I bought it to travel with me. It's so nice to have a laser printer for business and it's plenty fast. It also works on Mac's as well as Windoze XPBut, it's more expensive than the newer P1006, which has more features and 4 times more RAM. The new one is only slightly faster, but a little heaver.And, while the new P1006 lists for $180, its selling for under $100 street price. HP ships it OVERNIGHT for free, but you pay sales tax. Amazon uses a New York company, so you pay shipping and tax.You can't go wrong with this printer. It's ideal for traveling sales people, lawyers, and students.

The printer prints just fine. I love it. I appreciate the seller packing it so well. The delivery was quite fast. thanks to the seller.

This was a great printer that has been sold by a bad company that does not believe in backing what they sell. Willing to take your money will not work with a bad product that was broken from the start.

Don't buy this printer until the drivers for Windows 7 come out. HP is behind on creating drivers for Windows 7. It worked great in Vista, and I assume the same for XP. I am kind of angry that HP was not prepared with drivers for this printer. So, if you have Windows 7, stay clear of this printer (and make sure the drivers are available for Windows 7 for other HP printers) until late November, 2009, when they say they will have the drivers.

I highly recommend the HP P1005 LaserJet printer for family use. It is compact, fast, and has excellent quality print. I prefer black and white laserjet, because I see no need in my situation for color (and more cartridges). The HP P1005 does everything I want, and I am extremely pleased with it.

The Laserjet P1005 is a great value for the money. A basic B&W printer.I got rid of my old printer because of the cost of multiple ink cartridges.Set up was complicated (my fault) because there was still something inside, under the cartridge...that was packing material! But was easy to trouble shoot/set up my contacting HP support on line and by phone. Save your receipt and have the date of purchase ready when you call HP...so your warranty can be in effect.

for its price the best printer by far: far outdone my more expensive inkjet. I am mature student printing loads of papers for class (all black and white): it runs MUCH cheaper that the inkjet and its small size fits on my bookshelf without looking like an elephant in the room. Well done HP! no problem working with VISTA
