Comment: HP LaserJet P1006 Printer
i think i just found one of the best laser printer that i've ever had.
it's fast. it's convenient. it's smaller and lighter.
it's something you might want to consider getting one for yourself as the next printer that you're looking for.

Summary: Great home / home office laser printer
Comment: I received this laser printer as a replacement for my HP LaserJet 1020 Printer (Q5911A#ABA) which was roughly the same size and price. The toner for the older laser jet had roughly double the page yield which is my biggest complaint about the HP P1006.
On a positive note: for the price, this printer is outstanding. It installed in under 5 minutes on both
Windows XP and
Windows Vista (I have it installed on two machines). It prints VERY fast and is reasonably quiet. The print quality is outstanding, even using the economy mode to save toner. For a home office or general home use, this printer can't be beat for its price. It will save the average user hundreds of dollars in ink costs.
Note to users who want to do double sided printing:
I like to print double sided to save paper and in order to consolidate some of my larger print jobs. I've noticed that double sided printing wreaks havoc on this printer... I'm not sure whether its the toner or the printer itself. In any case, after you print several pages double sided the printer fails to produce high quality prints no matter how many times you run the cleaning utility. Instead you get lots of debris and extraneous black spotting on the paper. So, I recommend you steer clear of double sided printing.
Customer Rating: Summary: Hp P1006 Printer Review
Comment: I just bought this printer but was aprehensive due to some of the customer feedback I had reviewed. I setup the printer to my
Windows XP PC and started to print. I was particluarly concerned about three comments made in reviews that I had read:
1)The printer does not print very good at point 5 font - false
2)The printer makes noise when just turned on - false
3)The printer does not duplex - true
I tried to print a document at point 5 font and to my surprise it was very legible. The quality is very good whether at FasRes600 or FasRes1200.
The printer made virtually no noise when I started it up. I even turned it off then on again and detected very little noise.
The printer does not duplex automatically. However, if you set the prefernce to print on both side, the manual process is quite easy. You simple remove the paper and re-insert exactly as you remove it - no need to re-orientiate. I found this to be a big plus compared to the ink jet printers.
I tried printing a picture at FasRes1200 and I must say the picture was not sharp as I expected from a laser printer. With the exception of words in the picture, the image was quite grainy. But being a monchrome printer, that is not a major issue for me, I will print my pictures on the inkjet.
Cons: The paper tray is open and therefore exposed to dust - then again the open tray makes it easy to re-insert the paper for duplex printing.
