Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6L Printer

Pros: Prints quietly, Good quality print jobs
Cons: Slow, hard to feed paper

This is what I often can be found saying to my Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6L printer at work. I am convinced "she" (the printer is too moody to not be a she) has a personality of her own, and hoards my print jobs, printing them out at whim....

Pros: basically none
Cons: slooooow, prone to every problem there is in the printing industry

This is a warning. Do NOT buy this printer. I am not going to hold anything back in this review and hopefully you will take heed of my advice and do the right thing. This printer rarely ever does anything correctly and it has made my life quite hectic on...

Pros: Steady, Reliable, Efficient and Versatile Printer
Cons: None Known

The HP LaserJet 6L printer is an ideal addition for an individual’s workstation with a very low paper volume turn out. The printer is very small and can fit on the corner of the desk without consuming desk space, standing at an upright position...

Pros: Cheap, Reliable, compact
Cons: Obsolete?

I have used this printer for more than 2 years now and it is still working fine. This is the first laser printer that i bought after getting tired of bubblejet printers which uses ink as though it was free and also the fact that the ink smears easily....

Pros: Fairly fast printing for a small office use or personal laser printer.
Cons: Paper curls.

The Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6L PCL is my first laser printer. Actually it belongs to my brother but I’m now using it for printing work brought home and my papers for my studies. I’ve read about paper jams and how the printer is rather not-user-friendly....

Pros: Somewhat small footprint, and it is a true Laser printer.
Cons: Not a good deal for the price anymore. Horrible drivers. Mechanical problems.

I originally owned a HP5L printer, which I purchased for about $500 early in 1995. Back then, this was an excellent choice for a home printer. It was incredible to find a Laser printer for under $1000. Especially one that was so small, and didn't use...

Pros: Small, upright, simple to use
Cons: occasional double-feeds, sloooooooowwwwwwwww

Having read through the other reviews about the HP Laserjet 6L here on Epinions, I then noticed that it was only 54% recommended. I must be one of those 54%, because I do recommend this printer - with limitations.

We bought a 6L about 4 years...

Pros: excellent as a paperweight
Cons: poor paper handling makes this unusable

It seemed like such a good deal, and at first, it was. The output was fine, the speed was adequate, hey - what more could you ask for, right?

Plenty, it turns out, starting with simply being able to move a sheet of paper from the input tray...

Pros: reliable, easy to use
Cons: none

THIS IS NOT A TOY. This is a durable, reliable printer. HP was having a real good day the day they started marketing this printer. In the time I have used it, I have had only 2 paper jams (not bad for feeding over 2000 sheets of paper through...

Pros: Compact. Especially clear printing capability.
Cons: Temperamental, bad paperfeeding problem.

We bought the HP Laserjet 6L for my personal use at our office.

I loved the compactness of this printer which is a top feeder. It fit perfectly in the corner of my desk.

For the first couple of months, this printer was perfect....

Pros: Always reliable. Going strong after 7 years/30-40,000 pages. No drivers to install (everyone supports it).
Cons: No USB port

I bought this printer in 1997 for moderate-heavy use and have run somewhere between 30-40,000 sheets through it over its seven year life. So far, so good! Here's what I've done to it so far. Replaced toner. Nothing else. I'll need to replace the ...

Pros: Quick printing, Takes up very little desk space, reliable.
Cons: Sometimes takes more than 1 sheet of paper but there is a fix.

I have had this HP LaserJet 6L printer for at least 2 years now, and I have had virtually no problems with it.

The printer is an upright LaserJet, which is convenient because it is much easier to refill the paper when compared to the...

Pros: b&w 600x600 dpi, text quality is good, image quality ok, light
Cons: multiple page pickup. paper skews are often if not picked up properly

I bought this printer used. This printer is a nice addition to a home office that will print at 6ppm. Its upgradeable to 9mb of memory which allows me to print complex graphics. The printer is light so I am able to move it around (not that i do that...

Pros: Small footprint - not a kluge, good print quality especially in photos.
Cons: Jams easily, won't pick up paper, overheats, and hangs up a lot.

This is difficult to write. I needed a laser printer and read about the 6Lse in new product reviews. It was the perfect machine for all my needs. I printed a church bulletin, 2-3 sheets both sides, about 100 copies weekly. At 6 ppm it looked like a...

Pros: it's an HP
Cons: paper feed problems

We finally stopped selling these printers to clients after repeated problems with flakey drivers and paper feeding problems.

When compared with the average laser printer on the market the 6L is not a bad printer, sharp printouts, acceptable...
