Summary: What a deal!
Review: I was hesitant to purchase this printer as it doesn't cost all that much and is an HP printer. HP always meant more [money] but great quality to me. Well, this printer is a bargain. As long as it meets your needs (no manual paper feed, USB interface only, less feature rich) it is a great value. I'd had no problems with it, and it works great. There are a few points to accept before considering this purchase. First, the lack of a manual paper feed means that to feed envelopes or special paper you have to mess with the primary feed. E.g., to feed envelopes you empty the paper bin, adjust to envelope size, feed the envelope, readjust to the paper feed sizing, and reinsert paper. No simple process. Second, the paper feeding mechanism is less than industrial. While I have had no problems at all, I sense that it would not stand up to heavy use. E.g., it fine for a SOHO but not for something larger. Consider an HP Laserjet 1200 if that's your environment. We use it at home attached to a Windows ME laptop, and we have 3 other PCs (running Windows 98, 95, and XP) that all print to it successfully over our home network. Printer output quality is great. I highly recommend this printer.

Summary: Not a bad printer for the price
Review: I've been using this printer for more than 3 weeks now and it is great. Printing quality is great though it does curl up the paper. No driver problems at all. Just insert the disk, install the software, plug in the printer, and print. Easy as 1-2-3. A great printer for price.

Summary: Ridiculous junk
Review: It is bad enough that any printer manufacturer would offer a laser printer these days with a measly 1 MB of standard memory but it is [bad] that they would make 1 MB the maximum amount of memory that printer can accomodate. If you ever want to print anything other than text (such as .pdf files, graphics intensive web sites, digital photos) stay away from this unit. I would strongly reccomend the Brother HL-1440. It comes with 2 MB standard and is upgradable to 34 MB using a standard SIMM. It also has many other other advantages over the HP at a lower price. If you really have your heart set on HP but don't want to spend a lot, you'd be A LOT better off to buy a higher line model used or refurbished. HP seems to be using its reputation for high quality office grade machines to fool home users into buying complete junk.

Summary: It *is* compatible with Linux
Review: It was a real pain...to configure, and the fact that it has no power button and that you have to transfer the firmware in linux everytime you start linux can [make you mad], but on the other hand it's printing fast and in good quality...if you use windows I think you will be happy with this printer...

Summary: Trouble with Graphics? - I don't have trouble!
Review: Just bought a LJ 1000 from Office Depot. I'm using it to do graphics output (black and white and grayscale images) and it seems to work okay. I have only had the printer for less than a week, but I have put it through it's paces. The stuff that I do really uses the output equipment I have. So far, so good. If that changes, you'll hear from me again, but until then, It's a great printer for text and graphics both. Quality isn't on par with my Deskjet 1220, but that one cost me upwards of $500. I was told that I could take it back if it didn't do what I needed it to, but it seems to be okay!

Summary: Such a pleasure
Review: My 12-year-old Apple laser printer still works just fine, but no one makes a cable to connect it to my PC. My office use is just a bit too intense for inkjets, with their inadequate and expensive cartridges and flimsy, jam-prone construction. I went out to pick up a new ...inkjet cartridge, found this printer on sale for a very low price, and brought it home instead of the cartridge. Set up and installation on my Windows 98 system were completely painless. Despite the rather unorthodox software arrangement, I have been using the Laserjet 1000 for a variety of tasks--- 50- and 100-page reports, scanned photographs, graphics, faxes, print-outs from the internet, maps, etc.--- with no problems at all. The machine is quiet and prompt and copies are very sharp and crisp. The Laserjet actually fits into my rather cramped office more comfortably than my smaller HP Inkjet. Such a pleasure to have this printer after a series of makeshift and inadequate arrangements.

Summary: After 2 months of use...
Review: On the down side: there is no on/off switch (I've gotten used to pluging it in every time I need to use it), it seems that there is no way to make the printer automatically print on 2 sides of the paper, and that the construction of the unit is much lighter-weight than the HP's I've used at work and at schools. On the up side: I am pleased with how easy it was to set-up and how well it has been printing. It is fast and quiet. I print 10-20 pages per week on average, So far no jams or other problems. It seems I have a good printer for the price I paid. I will update this review as time goes by.

Summary: Buyer Beware: Read Technical Details Before Ordering
Review: Requires Windows 98 or greater. Not obvious from the main entry at ... It arrived & looks really cute. I'm trying to get my software upgrade but, meanwhile, printer is useless. HP has acknowledged that it absolutely won't run on Windows 95.

Summary: Amazing Printer Value
Review: The HP LaserJet 1000 is simply the best buy in printers available today. I purchased one to replace my existing inkjet printer, which ate ink at an incredible rate, and since October, I have had no problems whatsoever. The resolution is rock-solid, the print quality is high, it prints at a very fast rate, and most importantly, it has gone well over 1300 pages on a single cartridge, making it a huge cost savings! (compared to an inkjet) Bottom line? You can't beat this printer. HP reliability, fast printing, high quality. Best bang for the buck.

Summary: A great printer (when it works!)
Review: The HP1000 is an extremely cost effective laser printer (mine cost $99.95). Quality an speed are good enough for an individual user. However, the printer has USB interface problems that HP has not been able to resolve. In my case, it is necessary to unplug, then reconnect the USB cable every time the Windows 2000 is rebooted. Once the printer is online, it performs with the usual HP quality.
