Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2100m Printer

Pros: great text printing, decent speed
Cons: none

In my job as a computer service technician/sales rep for a small service company, I have seen and also used many different laser printers from several different manufactures, and by far Hewlett Packard makes the best quality laser printers. They...

Pros: Dependable and Professional Quality Prints
Cons: None

The printer I am going to focus on here is the LaserJet 2100M. When our offices moved, we all got new LaserJet 2100M's. I've been using mine for almost a year now and have been very pleased with it.

My first HP Laser printer was 15...

Pros: Great little printer for lower end print jobs
Cons: Tray 1 output feed causes loss of desktop space

When it comes to HP printers and their model numbers, it can seem sort of like the Franco American spaghetti product of ABC’s and 123’s. That’s because the company makes a base line of printers and then adds different features to those printers to...

Pros: Hearty little printer with long life, printing a wide variety of media
Cons: Slower than 2200 series printers

The HP LaserJet 2100M Laser Printer is an excellent printer to purchase refurbished from a distributor. A predecessor to the HP LaserJet 2200 series of printers, the main feature that distinguishes the 2100 series from the 2200 series of printers is the...

Pros: Crisp Text Output, Quiet
Cons: For USB port, needs additional connector not included

We bought this printer to replace an old Apple Personal Laser NT. My wife is a Graphic Designer, so we were looking for a laser printer with Post Script output and a brand with known reliability. We also liked that it would print up to 1200 dpi.
...

Pros: reliable, straight paper path, irDA
Cons: large footprint

HP has a very good reputation for printers and it's justified. I have used other HP products and other brands of laser printers and the 2100 is a great mid-priced home/office printer. I have owned it for about a year and in that time I have not had any...

Pros: IR Port, Excellent Print Quality, Decent Speed
Cons: None

I recently purchased two of these printers for the company I work for (small property management / real estate development). These are both used as unshared printers, attached to NT 4 workstations. Since my users are accustomed to printing to an HP...

Pros: Easy software. Postscript driver. IR port. Quiet.
Cons: Smallish paper bin.

I purchased the Laserjet 2100 pretty much on the reputation of HP. I looked briefly at other brands, but I almost always hear of more reported problems with others than with HP. I currently use it in my office to share between 2 and sometimes 3...

Pros: Sharp output, fast speed
Cons: Pricey, expensive cartridge

I had an ancient DOS-based PostScript printer that finally went south--well, southwest anyway--on me. But it lasted 10 years so I'm not complaining.

How to decide which brand of printer to buy? What I did was go to several printer fixit folks...

Pros: It's an HP. And it's not terribly expensive.
Cons: It's an offshoot of the 4p and 5p. They stunk.

The HP line of relatively inexpensive laser printers has it's angels (the 4000, 4050, 4100), and it's devils (The 5L, 6L, 1100 series). Depending on your point of view, however, you may not agree. Personally I dislike this design. I've had too much...

Pros: decent quality, good print, sort-of fast
Cons: why buy when the 1100 and 4050 are available?

I never liked the LaserJet 5p or 6p, which are the 2100's closest ancestors. It was hard to fix paper jams in the darn things, and the unit itself, with no display other than a few blinking LEDs, seemed less advanced than the older, slower 4p, which had...

Pros: Fast, reliable, versatile
Cons: None

For about a year now, this thing has been kicking strong. If you've been fortunate enough to read my review on the iMac DV, you noticed that I said I got it working with this printer right away. Well, that's not all I got to work with this printer...
...

Pros: fast, good PL6 images 1200 bpi.
Cons: toner cartridge life. Postscript driver does not support 1200 bpi--only 600 bpi. Graphics not up to HP standards.

We have had this printer for less than a month. I have always been a fan of HP printers. We have had a 4p for a long time and I have used HP printers since the model II. We bought it because 1) 1200 bpi 2) postscript.

It installed with no...

Pros: Excellent quality printing and never fails.
Cons: This printer is a little slow and also be noisy.

The Super Printer

Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 2100M

I have always been lucky with Hewlett-Packard products. I am writing this review on a HP laptop that I have owned for about a year and it runs great.

I have also written...

Pros: Reliable, no maintenance, VERY low operating costs.
Cons: None I have discovered

I received one used from a friend. We were sick and tired of paying great quantities of money for inkjet cartridges. If you do any amount of printing whatsoever, you will run out of ink quickly. With manufacturers charging outrageous prices for ink, ...
