The HP 1100 is a good solid monochrome Volkswagen Beetle of a laser printer that occupies a small footprint on the desk and can be had for a rather modest price. Also, do a print page number check when you buy a printer because several sellers will tell you that there are less han 5,000 pages printed,but in reality, there are over 171,000 pages printed. Overall, this is a nice printer that will do a great job for less than $100. 17,000 pages of print is approximately 8-9 years of usage for an average print year (1,500 - 2,000 pages per individual) which is already a long time. Be careful when the printer is advertised with low pages printed or 17,000 pages with low monthly cycle.
#Hp laser printers for home install
I have purchased each of my printers on Ebay with less than 3,000 pages printed (anything more you are risking the chance that the most important part, th e fuser, has already been overworked and will need replacing - good luck if you can find one plus the $100 cost for a printer technician to install it for you). My employer has approximately 20 of these units around the office and after 10-12 years, they are still working. I currently own 4 printers at home (2 are being used in separate rooms and 2 are kept as spares in case of repairs). You might get an occassional multi feed of sheets because of the printers configuration but I think that this is due to high humidity levels at various times that makes the pages stick together. Printing quality is good with a fresh toner cartridge kept in a dry location.
This printer is always dependable and reliable.
This is a good printer for home or a small business that does not require lots of space.
