HP Color LaserJet 3800 configuration page

The configuration page for a Color LaserJet 3800 gives a lot of information about the printer.  It contains printer settings, page count data (called "engine cycles" and "color cycles"), and network settings, among other things.  If the printer has a JetDirect card installed, a JetDirect configuration page will print out as well.

To print the configuration page:

- Scroll down using the down arrow button until "INFORMATION" is the active choice on the screen.
- Press Select (the green button with the black check mark on it).
- Scroll down to "PRINT CONFIGURATION."
- Press Select.

The Pros And Cons Of HP Laserjet 2840


Overview
HP Laserjet 2840 was designed in 2007 and it was one of the first color laser printers that could be found on the market, at that moment, at a price fewer than 1000 dollars. The number made of three digits for a color laser printer was definitely what people wanted to see at that time. However, it could not compete with today’s models which are faster and better built.

Pros
HP Laserjet 2840 can hold multimedia cards, which is really good. It means that every person who wants to print something from a media card is able to do it by simply plugging the media card into the printing device.
It can be fax, printer and copier in the same time. Because it is very easy to configure and use, even a beginner will not face any type of troubles. The control panel is made of alphanumeric keypad and LCD screen. Also, there is something that can help the ones who want to use the fax function with a lot of ease. It comes with 5 fast dialing buttons.
It was one of the first laser color printers available on the market under 1000 dollars. In fact, at that moment, there were only two printing devices that were color lasers: HP Laserjet 2840 and Canon image class MF8170c. However, the Canon equivalent was not as good as the HP Laserjet 2840. The HP model was better than the Canon. Nowadays, they cannot measure up to any type of color laser printer, but they are still capable of producing good printings, even though the printing speed is sluggish.

Cons
As I said, the printing speed is very low. It can be acceptable while printing in black and white (20 pages per minute) but in color printing it is sluggish. It is able to print only with a speed of 4 pages per minute. However, this low printing speed is generated only by the ridiculous old printing technology. At that time, every page needed to go four times through the printer, until it came out. The reason why it happened like this is that the old technology used multiple pass color printing.
Another disadvantage of HP Laserjet 2840 is that it is too noisy. When it works, it sounds more like a car than like a color laser printing device.
The reason why it is so loud is that the old technology printing process was so ineffective.

HP LaserJet 1100 self test page

To print a self-test page (also called a configuration page) from the LaserJet 1100, press and release the Go button (the button on the front left of the printer).  The light will blink and the self-test page will print out momentarily.

HP LaserJet 4050

The HP LaserJet 4050 is part of a lineup of decent quality laser printers that make up Hewlett Packards monochrome printer stable. They are designed to compete directly with similar offerings from Dell, Xerox and Brother, who are the other big names in the office equipment space.

Its a decent size cube in the usual light gray color. It has a solid feel to it which is both utilitarian and reassuring at the same time. Built to last, and built to work, with a 65,000 page duty cycle the 4050 could quite accurately be called a workhorse. It has a 500 sheet paper drawer with a further 100 with the flip down multipurpose feed behind a flap at the front. Output is via a 50 sheet flip down tray at the rear and a 150 sheet output tray on top.

Toner and management are under a flap at the top. The cartridges unclip and you can see the entire paper path from the paper tray upwards. Through the clever use of levers you can get finger access to all of it, which makes coping with jams pretty simple. Not that we had any to try out.

Copy quality is what makes or breaks a printer, whoever the manufacturer might be. Luckily the reproduction is faultless. Our test completed without any issues at all, even the images. Text is clear and black, as it should be. Larger points had straight lines, definite corners and even toner spread. Graphs and images were also definitively defined, well filled and even throughout. Photographs were detailed, with only a little bobbling on darker areas, but definitely good enough for business use. At a speed of 17 pages per minute, its no slouch either. The 4050 wont keep you waiting.

The base 4050 can be connected by USB, but the bigger brother the 4050n is a network ready device. Both are almost identical apart from this network facility. USB is fine as long as it has a host PC to run from, but a networked printer is infinitely more flexible.

The HP LaserJet 4050 is like a solid, dependable truck. Nothing fancy, nothing flash, but works well and wont let you down.

HP LaserJet 4350

The visualization of an ultimate printing machine by most workers and office users, includes a device that amalgamates speed and ease of use. Realizing these requirements, Hewlett Packard has, over the years created several printers with variable characteristics. The HP LaserJet 4350 is one of their models renowned amongst customers looking for printing perfection at a high speed.

With a 1200dpi resolution, this laser jet monochromatic printer is a combination of speed, efficiency, high performance and spacious storage. It uses HPs advanced toners for maximum accuracy and enhanced quality. This specific printing machine is most suitable for large work places with an extensive demand for printing. It has two EIO slots, an embedded server as well as a USB slot for accuracy of data input.

The features and functions of this one of a kind work place printer do not end here. It also has a web server and a web Jetadmin. The former is used for individual, one to one utilization of the printer while the latter helps with automating the configuration to manage several print commands. No matter which option you use or how many print outs you require in one time, the quality is never compromised. The prints always come out crisp, sharp and clear.

Through adding extra accessories you can enhance the functions of HP LaserJet 4350. This printer has an in built memory of 96MB and can take prints at a speed of 55 pages per minute. This is not all, the input and output trays can accommodate a large number of papers which prevents the user from hassle involved in frequent refilling.

This printer has two 500 pages input trays, a 250 pages output tray and a 500 pages stapler and stacker tray. For specialty papers and special print media it has separate storage areas with a capacity to stack up to 50 and 100 papers respectively. Moreover the automatic duplexer and four line display complete the range of features this printer has to offer.

If you are still not satisfied with what this printer has to offer then you can put the two external slots to use and connect accessories for enhancing its functions. In this way you can have the advantage of more font choices, secure printing, intelligent e-forms, AP/ERP solutions, barcode printing and job accounting solutions.

The price of this printer is no match for the range of functions it has to offer. It is the ultimate convenience provider for customers looking for affordable printing solutions for official purposes.

HP 5000gn

Hewlett Packard are retiring the 4M and 4MV making way for the LaserJet 5000 series. The HP 5000gn is designed for workgroups looking for fast, accurate printing. Its top resolution is a true 1,200 x 1,200dpi and the basic model comes furnished with 4Mb of memory and a single 250-sheet paper tray. The 5000GN comes with an extra 500-sheet base unit, 12Mb of memory, a JetDirect print server card and a hard disk.

The multipurpose tray is capable of handling larger paper sizes and with 100 sheet capacity, brings the total paper handling to 850 sheets. If you need more, you could always can add another 250-sheet base tray, and if you need to print on both sides, a duplexer can be fitted between the standard paper tray and lower base unit. The toner can be accessed from the top and has a life of 10,000 sheets.

The HP 5000gn has a 100MHz RISC processor, Instant-On-Fuser and JetSend. This useful technology allows direct communication over a network and aims to negate the need for printer drivers. This would be a significant step forward if this technology becomes popular. HP have often had problems with their drivers, and this methodology could significantly improve a printers compatibility across a range of applications.

Print speed depends on paper size, the resolution selected and the content to be printed. The 5000GN offers three print modes, ProRes for maximum resolution, FastRes for interpolated 1,200 dpi and faster print speed, and a standard 600 dpi setting for everything else. FastRes and the standard setting managed 16 pages per minute, while ProRes produced 8 pages per minute.

Print quality was impressive. The standard 600 dpi is plenty good enough for text only printing, and gives the best print speed. ProRes improves graphics and photographic printing substantially, and we suggest using it whenever you’re printing images. The print is much more detailed, grayscale tones are more even and smooth and overall improved results over the other two modes.

The HP 5000gn is on par with the competition of its time, print speed is average, options are standard, but the print quality is anything but. If quality is the main consideration, this printer is a great choice. If it’s anything else prompting the purchase, I would check out the competition too, the 5000gn is a solid performer and one of a crowd at this price point.

HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw Printer Review


Overview:
If you need a professional color printer that is kind to the environment and to your pocket, HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw is the right choice to make. It will deliver high quality images that would satisfy even the pickiest marketer who takes pride in delivering only colorful materials. The printer can be connected to the Internet and that’s why it is suitable for working environments. People can use it regardless of their location. The design looks really elegant because of its round edges in spite of its dimensions of 15.7 x 17.8 x 10 inches and 40 pounds weight.
Pros:
HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw can be connected wirelessly to the internet or through an Ethernet port, thus making it possible for employees to print from any system that has the HP ePrint software installed. It’s easy to set up the printer and once you do that, you will enjoy a wide range of tools and you can also calculate the cost per print. It comes with a built-in server that is protected by a password. You can disable or enable parts of the network as you like.  In order to optimize the speed and quality of the prints, you can pre-configure shortcuts according to your needs.
A great advantage of this printer is its ability to stretch the duty cycle from 250-1000 pages up to 30k pages. This can come in-handy for those organizations that need to print large volumes of work regularly. Apart from that, the resolution of 600x600 dpi and the HP ImageREt 3600 technology will make a difference when it comes to print clarity regardless of the printing mode (black or color). It operates at a speed of 12 letter A sized black and white pages per minute and 8 colored sheets of the same dimensions.
This model has a CPU that runs at a speed of 600 MHz and a memory of 128 MB that can easily be upgraded to 384 MB. It’s a very quiet printer because the acoustic level doesn’t surpass 48 dB so that you are not annoyed by noises. The input tray located at the bottom of the device can’t hold more than 150 pages and the output that has a middle-top position won’t carry more than 125 pages. You can print docs of sizes between 3 x 5 inches and 8.5 x 14 inches.  PCL5, PCL 6 and PostScript 3 are the only languages that this printer recognizes. Because it has a DIMM system, the memory will be modified to 25MB with 144-pin DIMMs if you decide to upgrade.
Although the resolution of the screen could be improved, the 2-line LCD with 16-character display does its job perfectly. The CPU makes it possible for the HP’s Color LaserJet CP1525nw device to print at an amazing speed of 20 pages per minute. However, this value varies depending on how complex the document is. If you are into multitasking and want an affordable device that won’t break down soon, this model is perfect for you.
Cons:
If you are working in graphic design, HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw isn’t the best choice for you because there are other printers out there with a resolution higher than 600x600 dpi. Photographers won’t like this resolution either. It consumes 295 watts but this is not a big inconvenience if you consider its capabilities. However, this model doesn’t come with built-in fax and copy features which could be useful for business users who fax documents on a regular basis.

HP Color LaserJet 3800

Buying the HP Color LaserJet 3800 had been one of the best purchases of my life. I am a business woman and I do my business from home. When I needed a laser printer for my work, I was perplexed as what to buy because I had not known then which of the products was best in use. As suggested by some friends in the know, I bought this amazing machine which has proved to be useful and unique in its outstanding functions and features.

This laser printer has superb color quality as well as advanced toner technology which enables it to form great colors with extraordinary quality. It also features networking tools and managements tools because of which it has become easier for me to connect it to the systems of my workers and secretary. Its fast speed is something I am extremely happy with. It does the work so quickly that it is almost unbelievable. It can print about 22 color or black and white prints in just a single minute which according to me is really fast.

I have been using it for the last seven months now and I am glad to mention here that in the past seven months there has been not a single time when I have found any error in or any kind of occurrence of malfunction. It has never even jammed and has always worked in the best way.

Some of my workers are not so capable to understand the monitoring of such machines but this printer is so easy to use and has such an easy way of functioning that almost anyone can operate it. Even my 9 year old son knows how to operate it. Other machines that I have seen are so complicated that they may take days to be able to be operated easily. Therefore this is one of its main characteristics that it is easy and simple to use.

This workgroup printer comes with a warranty of one year but I am sure there would be no such problems to use the warranty. Its size is really suitable, it is neither too large nor too small thus it can be placed even on the working desk for easy approach. The printer is silent in the standby mode while in the operating mode it does make just a little sound, so over all it is not noisy at all.

HP LaserJet P1006

The HP LaserJet P1006 is a black and silver printer that makes a nice change from the usual beige or gray ones on the market. Its a mono laser printer that is aimed squarely at home users or SOHO applications. The design is functional, compact but reassuring, the black and silver making a nice statement on a desk in a small office somewhere.

It performs well too. The LaserJet P1006 produces prints at 13 page per minute, which is a little short of the stated 16, but not as much of an exageration as many laser printers out there. It was easy to set up, merely unpacking it, inserting the toner and plugging it in. The driver install was a breeze and only took a couple of minutes. The package contains software tools to change the print, add watermarks, and lots of other little things that add to the functionality of the device.

The print quality is pretty good, even 3pt fonts. Text reproduction is the strength of the LaserJet P1006 with strong lines, even spread and sharp corners and edging. Image quality when printing graphs and photographs is good enough for leaflets or brochures, with only a little dithering on larger images, but nothing to detract from the overall quality of the device.

The paper drawer is at the bottom of the machine and can handle up to 150 sheets. There is also a 10 sheet multi-purpose paper handler and manual duplexing. Both the drawer or the handler can cope with different sized media, including envelopes and postcards.

The printer is supplied with a "starter toner" which will print around 700 pages. The standard replacement toner can print approximately 2000 pages before needing replacement. At $49, the standard black is competitlvely priced and offers a lower cost per page than many other manufacturers on the market.

Overall, the LaserJet P1006 is a solid performer. The design is small, neat and quite cool. The capabilities are easily on par with other printer much larger and more expensive than this one. For the home or home office user, the printer is a good choice. The instant-on facility is handy for those of us with little patience and the toner saver mode can make cartridges last that little bit longer without really compromizing print quality. A sound investment for those who need style and substance.

HP DeskJet 3740

I bought this printer a year ago and I have yet to experience any issues with its. So far it has just proved to be a perfect printer to fulfill my home needs and requirements. The HP DeskJet 3740 is not only easy to set up but at the same time it is also easy to operate. It does not have multiple buttons to turn it off or on. This can be done through a single button which is clearly marked with signs and lights. All the buttons are large and fixed at a logical distance from one another. This is the best thing I noticed about it and it really leads to the convenience of the user as it is easy to press the wanted button rather than mistakenly pressing something else like cancel.

It also saves time and money via its onscreen canceling buttons. If there are some extra pages which are not needed to be printed, they can be canceled even at the eleventh hour without jamming the machine. One thing I love about it most is the notice it shows on the screen for ink level indication. Therefore there is hardly any time when I am not aware of my ink level thus saves me running out mid print.

It gives 5 choices for print modes which include fast draft, fast normal, normal, best and maximum dpi modes. This results in selecting the task optimized results according to the required speed and quality. The single color cartridge offers a perfect black print while the 4,800 optimized dpi colors produce excellent color photos. The sheet tray holds about 80 extra sheets which save time and space. The printing speed is also plenty quick enough for home use at up to 10 color paper prints per minute while black and white prints can be printed at 14 papers per minute.

This simply designed printer is highly affordable and therefore ideal for home use to print out photos or whatever. This light weight machine can be easily moved wherever you need to. I can carry it easily to my bedroom or office. Its silent mode is highly commendable therefore I can even operate it when my kids are asleep, the noise is hardly noticeable.

I have used it for some time now and I can say that I have had no problems with it whatsoever.

HP LaserJet 4050n

I initially thought the HP LaserJet 4050n as a bit of overkill for my small workgroup of four people, but I wouldnt change it for the world. It was on sale and I knew Hewlett Packard were a good brand so I bought it on a whim.

Im glad I did, its capable, reliable, produces good prints and hasnt let me down since owning it, which has been a while. We print mainly draft documents for outsourced proofreaders so quality isnt our primary concern. However, even if it was, the 4050n would still deliver. The print quality is really good. The text documents we print even in normal mode is good, with straight lines, black being blacks and no smudging or anything in the white space. Pictures are almost as good, when we have to print a photograph or something the print comes out very detailed. It is a black and white printer, but it translates the colors into those shades of gray really well. It makes sense when you see the original and also stands on its own two feet if you dont.

The 4050n is also easy to look after. There is a flap at the top which you put the cartridges in, and it also lets you see the whole path the paper takes. So on the few occasions we get a jam, its really easy to free it up. Considering the amount we print, thats really handy! Talking of cartridges, they are very easy to replace too, simply clipping into place. A normal one will last for around 10000 pages, whereas the high yield one can last 15000.

We have this networked and use the printer server to work from. That means we can do everything from the desktop and dont have to all hover over it while were working. The software is intuitive and easy to work with. The menu structure is simple and easy to follow. As is the menu on the little control panel on the printer itself. Three LED indicators show the status, the activity and any errors. The buttons on the right let you navigate the menu.

The HP LaserJet 4050n is a great printer, especially for someone like us who print a lot. Its black and white and not color, but we didnt need a color one. Its reliable, reasonably quiet, economical to maintain and easy to manage. What more can I say?

HP LaserJet 1012 demo page
