Rating: Summary: Short life span Review: I purchased a Laserjet 1100 two years ago, and it has been subjected to light use. I am on my second toner cartridge. For the past six months, it has been feeding multiple sheets at a time--2 - 12. Repair estimate is $114.00. I have purchased a number of HP printers in the past, and all have performed well for a number of years. I gave my mother a Laserjet II, purchased more than 10 years ago, which was subjected to heavy office use. Although the resolution is lower and the ink not as dark, it still works great.

Rating: Summary: Watch out for paper jams Review: I purchased this printer because I have had a great deal of success with HP products in the past. I must say that I have been extremely disappointed with the performance of this printer. It ROUTINELY attempts to take in more than one sheet of paper (e.g., 5 or 6); consequently, I have had a tremendous amount of paper jams. This has become such a problem that I now prefer just to wait and print my documents at work. Beware!
Rating: Summary: Easy Setup, Crisp text, Appears to be a good product. Review: I recently purchased this printer. Setup was a breeze and from the first copy it has been delightful. I'm curious if the upgrade for scanning and copying is worth it or not.
Rating: Summary: Grest SOHO printer Review: I've used this printer for over three years now and I've never had a problem. I print a very high volume (more than a printer this small was designed for, really) but it's worked flawlessly for me. It handles envelopes, cards, and other odd-sized paper just great. I've never had a particular problem with jamming - it jams every once in a while, like any printer, but far less than the HP 2500 down the hall, and the design makes it very easy to clear jams. It also goes from power-on to printing the first page in around ten seconds, which is much faster than other lasers in the office, some of which take up to a minute. It's reliable, fast, durable, flexible, and has a small footprint on the desk.
Rating: Summary: Adding my 2 cents Review: Just wanted to let everyone know that while this is an excellent printer it does have a defect. It has a tendency to jam after a few months use. This is a recognized defect and HP has a free fix. Here's a tip, order at least 2 of them. While an easy fix, it doesn't always take the first time.
Rating: Summary: Good machine Review: Recently bought this printer. Am sorry I did not add the scanner appliance. Seems to work even without touching the computer. From time to time though the printer runs into a nasty Postscript printing mode, eating paper like a wild man. hav not solved that problem yet. The manual does not talk about this problem...
Rating: Summary: Great "home" or "small business" printer at a great price. Review: The LJ1100 is a great printer for home or small business. It's MUCH faster than aDeskJet, and it isn't susceptible to smudges or blotches which can plague ink-based printers. Pros: small size, fast printing, high resolution. The drivers seem to work well, and they don't bring up any clumsy "toolbox" program every time you print something. Also, it prints on paper as small as 3x5 cards, which is great for checks or small envelopes. The toner cartridge installation couldn't be easier. Cons: None... yet. Although it has only one expansion spot for memory, so I'll have to make sure I get the right size if I upgrade. It uses a print cable which isn't compatible with the Centronics-style Ink Jet or Dot Matrix printers, but at least a 6-footer is included. Note: The 1100 does not scan or copy without the optional copy attachment. HP sells it as the 1100A if it has the scanner/copier built-in. Otherwise, the 1100 requires an optional piggy-back unit.
Rating: Summary: Love the printer, but the scanner and copier are outstanding Review: The printer is performing admirably, but the built in scanner and OCR software is better then any OCR I've used. Unbelieveably easy to use, just insert the document and press a button on the printer. Then select the pop up menu choice, either OCR or just scan. THe rest is automatic. Terriffic value at this time
Rating: Summary: Outstanding quality, no comparison Review: This printer has outstanding output for this price range. I have used Okidata and Zerox laser printers in this price range as well, and the output is no comparison. Especially when dealing with images, or grayscales. This printer responds quickly when a job is sent to it, and it's lack of a power button and automatic turn on/off is very convienient. It also uses toner very efficiently, making Total cost of ownership lower than an inkjet over time. I have not used the scanner add-on, but have heard good things about it. There are two reason it get 4 stars instead of 5: 1. The upright printer design, although it saves desk space, is strange to me. 2. There are printers in the 10-12 pages per minute range at this price, but the output does not compare. I own this printer, and I also have had an HP 6L (it's older brother) for 2 years now, and have no problems. I highly recomend all HP LaserJets, including this one.
