Electronics : HP P1005 Laserjet Printer |
- too stripped down for most usesI bought this printer recently much to my regret. It does not have the typical "stop print" and "reset" buttons that most HP and Dell printers have...only "on/off." That means you have reboot your whole system when the printer hangs up (which it frequently does). If I run out of paper in the middle of a print job, it often can't tell if I've put paper in, so it stays in suspension. It really, really sucks.

- The HP P1005 LaserjetThe P1005 is my first laserjet printer so I'm not too familiar with them. The printing is really beautiful and fast. I'm really satisfied with it with one exception. I use it mostly for labels and often run the sheets thru it several times. The print is fine but it also puts a very fine spray of toner over the whole sheet. It's undetectable with one pass but the sheets get darker with each pass and I have to cut masks to keep the unused labels "clean". I didn't have this problem with my inkjet printers and it's very aggrevating and takes a lot of extra time. It is otherwise excellent.

- HP P1005 Laserjet PrinterPrinter setup not included with package but it was easy to accomplish anyway. Be sure to order a USB to printer cable (not included).

- Disappointed... All I wanted was a compact laser printer that I can use at work. After reading all the reviews and specs I went ahead and bought it.
After 2 days of trying to get it to actually print, I found out that it really is NOT compatible with mac. I can't even add it as a printer for my printing list. It doesn't show up. On the information provided by all vendors, it said that mac with the current os will be able to recognize the printer. It doesn't!! I was so happy to get it in the mail. Totally got deflated when it won't work. Mac users beware.

- Great printer -- WITH NO USB CABLE INCLUDEDThis is a great printer. I have an HP desktop, laptop and I figured -- if I am going to buy a printer why not buy me a HP printer, right? Wrong!
I love all HP products, and I love Amazon, I went ahead and purchased my HP printer via Amazon. When I purchased my printer no where on the Amazon page did it say that there would be NO USB CABLE included with the printer. Not even in the BOX of the printer does it say you need the USB cable. Now, I realize the cable is only $10 and it is considered change for some, so my concern is on the principal, not on the product
It is funny that HP includes the ink drum (a consumable) but does not include the usb cable (a non consumable). I mean, thankfully they do include the power plug. I spent 20 minutes on the phone complaining to both HP support (actually some guy in India).
Welcome to the 21st Century!
For all other potential buyers of HP, I LOVE their products, this is the first time I have seen them doing something this funny -- I imagine the printer is just as good as the 5-star reviewer claims it to be.
