I have had this printer for about a month. It was very easy to setup on our small school network, I assigned it a fixed IP address to make it easier to find and install on the 10 computers. I used the HP network installation utility to create an install program that each of the Windows XP and Windows 2000 pc's could use to load/install and make the default print driver. Very straight forward. (I set it up to default to double sided printing to save paper).
I downloaded the Vista PCL6 driver directly from HP and used that driver on our 4 Vista pc's.
I estimate we will be printing a couple 1000 sheets a month. I choose this printer for a several reasons:
- Past experience with HP higher end printers (my work uses them by the dozens).
- Ability to Duplex print (double-sided).
- Heavier duty than most of the 'bundled' printers that come with a new PC. This LaserJet can easily handle our printing load.
- Paper tray holds a full ream of paper (500 sheets)! We should not have half full reams laying around.
- Fairly fast printing. Although using the duplex mode takes about 2.5 times the time to make a single sided print. Estimate the first page in less than 10 seconds, then if single sided, a print every 2-3 seconds. In duplex mode, the page comes out about half way and then pauses for a couple seconds and it is pulled back into the printer and then is ejected out with the back side printed on. Takes about 6-7 seconds to print both sides of a page. (These are normal word processing documents without large graphics).
- Built in networking, the Jet-direct embedded print server is very easy to manage with a web interface. Also very easy to check on usage and toner level. Read more &rsaquo,
