| vivi18soft's Full Review: Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1012 Laser Printer |
This printer is fast, small and hard to beat with such a low price at $180.
One nice feature I like this printer is it does have a ON/OFF switch on the back. The old models like 1200 or 1000 have no ON/OFF switch and spend most of day in "sleep mode"
The only 2 things I am complaining with are (1) No USB cable included in the package. (2) Minor setup Confusion.
If you set it up by following the picture "cheat sheet" in the box, you will be told to install the software driver BEFORE connecting this USB printer. However, half way through the installation, the setup program already searching for the printer. It will keep looking for it without being timeout. After 3 minutes, I realized that and hook the printer up while the setup is still running.
The other minor thing is the paper feeding issue. In general it works perfect while we use plain white paper with normal weight. However in my case, I need to occasionaly feed some pre-printed purchase order form with lighter weight (less than 20lb). If the PO form is not fed perfect manually, printer will not line it up automatically during the feeding process.
