Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1012 Printer

Pros: Inexpensive, compact, good quality output, cartridges widely available, HP are justly famous for their printers.
Cons: Throwing away drum with toner cartridge offends my ecological side. No HP cartridge recycling program.

I'm not going to write a long review as others have done very comprehensive ones, but I'll add my experience. I had needed a better printer for a long time, my old HP694C (see separate review) seemed to be close to expiring. So when I saw an ad from ...

Pros: Parsimonious, Precise Print, Perfectly Priced, Pretty Package, Paltry (foot)Print
Cons: None so far, has exceeded my expectations, especially regarding 'noise pollution,' my current hot button!

Pros: HP quality and proven track record with its Laser Jet series.
Cons: Doesn't come with USB cable. Slightly more expensive.

Howdy. I bought one of these suckers in May (2004). Previously, I had a Samsung ML-1430, which conked out on me. I wrote a review on the Samsung; gave it a glowing review and not long after it conked out. The Samsung lasted less than two years. ...

Pros: Fast printing from Standby. Quiet. Low Power consumption. Good paper handling.
Cons: none.

Pros: Fast, efficient, and good print quality
Cons: Can't be shared with Macs

Cons: You must buy your own USB cable

I have owned my HP Laserjet 1012 laser printer for about one month now, and I am very pleased with it. Let me get the one and only negative out of the way immediately. It does not come with USB cable. There it is, the HP Laserjet 1012's dark little ...

Pros: Print quality, speed, quiet print jobs
Cons: Could use better instructions for installation.

Pros: Easy setup, good print quality

The bakery in which I used to work had a small office downstairs to take care of all the non-delicious parts of the business. In addition to the small filing cabinet and small footprint computer wedged into the office, there was also a printer: the HP ...

Pros: Quiet, quick wake-up, fast printing (15 pages per minute). Quality printout. HP quality, reputation. Small.
Cons: Small paper input tray (150 sheets). Slower than some comparable printers (15 vs. 21 ppm).

I just purchased and set up my new HP LaserJet 1012 laser printer. Staples was running a combined instant savings with an "Easy Rebate" (online vs. mailed in) that brought the price to $99.98 US. My old (and wonderful) Epson inkjet had run out of ink, ...

Pros: Easy to install; small footprint; fast printing speed.

Laser printers, no matter their make or model, have an effective life of no more then six years, after which they start to deteriorate at a noticeable clip. Such was the case with our installed base of Lexmark Opera E small foot print laserjet ...

Pros: razor sharp text, fast, build quality for $149 is great, duplex, low noise, reliability
Cons: tool box is a joke causes problems, no USB cord, support is menu driven

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS I purchased the Hp 1012 to replace my older Hp 6L which lasted for 8 years (no paper jams, absolutely no problems). I considered the Hp 7690, Cannon 860i and Hp 5650 inkjets because I plan to make photos. Why go laser? Well, I am a ...

Cons: No USB cable in box, rare print can be misaligned
