Summary: Comment for the Mikepee, the idiot reviewer.
Review: The moron known as Mikepee has obviously missed the point of these reviews. People share their thoughts and experiences so that others may replicate the successes and avoid the mistakes of previous buyers. Yes, this printer has a paper jam problem that many people mentioned. For those without Mikepee's self-congratulatory wisdom, information about the paper jam problem is very helpful. The people who mentioned it are not whining, they're commenting (Mikepee said wining, but I assume he's too stupid to know how to spell or edit his text).

Summary: Very solid, but jams more than any laser I've seen
Review: This is a very solid basic laser printer. It understands all document formats that I've ever sent it and has provided sharp quality output now for 5,500 pages (or so my printer test page tells me).My primary complaint is paper jams. The 1100 has a tendancy to occasionally grab several sheets at once. This tendancy is most aggregious when paper is running low - if there are 5-10 sheets left in the paper tray/slot, it will often try to feed them all. The instruction manual says to always remove all paper when reloading with more - this definitely helps, but doesn't address when the printer is running low... which is often because the paper tray/slot only holds about 100 pages. So I end up having to constantly glance over before I print to see if it is running low on paper - if so, take all the remaining sheets out, stack nicely with new sheets, and stick back in. A little bit of a pain. Note: if you do get a jam, you can often clear it by opening the cover and just grabbing and pulling the sheets out. Occasionally this won't work (I had the mother of all jams two weeks ago, when the 1100 feed 15 sheets at once). In these situations, open the front cover, take out the toner cartridge, and locate the binder/roller pressure bar - it is secured by two large silver head screws on the left and right inside the front cover. Slightly loosen both screws to give yourself more slack, pull out offending sheets, tighten screws. Even with these problems I still like the printer because the output looks sharp and clean. Think about getting the "Ase" or "Axi" model for additional functionality.

Summary: Truly awful paper feed
Review: This printer has to have one of the worst automatic paper feeds I've ever encountered. I use two HP 1100 printers in my lab at work, and both exhibit the same terrible feed problems. They continuously suck in multilple sheets when printing, jamming on a regular daily, if not hourly basis. These printers require a full paper feed at all times to minimise this problem. These will not feed correctly with anything less than a half full paper rack. When printing, blank pages can often be found amongst your documents. And the pitifully small feeder means that you cannot perform anything larger than a 20 page print job with encountering serious jams... In summation, do not buy this printer, it will drive you insane.

Summary: Bad sheet feeding problems on this one
Review: This printer works great for about a year then has major problems with correctly feeding the paper. We have one at work and it grabs multiple sheets all the time. It seems to be a design flaw. Don't take my word for it - look at CNET.com and see the other reviews. You can buy a new Samsung laser for the price of a used HP 1100. Run away from this one.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!
Review: Too bad I can't give this product zero stars. The HP 1100 has a serious design problem with its paper feed which HP tried to cover up with a Mickey Mouse "repair kit". HP was sued for ignoring the paper feed problem, and lost in court. The repair kit "solution" lasted for about 2 weeks for me before the feed problem began again. Most recently, the stupid thing will not print unless it is turned off and on again. (There is no on/off switch by the way. You have to pull the plug!)DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS POORLY DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED PRODUCT which HP will not backup. I am throwing mine away and buying a
Brother.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: We have 250 of these where I work that are about 1 year old. Every single one of them has problems. Because of how the paper is fed through, it tends to pull many sheets at a time and then jams. This started happening when they were about 10 months old.
