Summary: Duplicates Images
Review: Don't buy the LaserJet 2100. Dark text and images toward the top of a page are duplicated fainter starting about half way down the page!

Summary: Don't expect the HP of yore
Review: I bought this product to replace an old workhorse printer, the HPII, and was quite disappointed. Print quality is not so stellar--inadequate adjustments for print density via Windows software; buttons on the machine's front are confusing and counterintuitive, and worse, the machine is surprisingly noisy--motor gear-up and -down from printing a page is a veritable clatter. Speed (8 ppm) seems inadequate for a machine in this price range, when other, less expensive laserjets can now do 10 or 12. And papertray, though large enough, has flimsy guides. All in all, I miss my old HP!

Summary: Outstanding small office printer
Review: My IT people bought me the HP 2100 for use as a personal printer in my university office. I liked it so much that I bought one for my home office to replace an old HP 4L. It has been an excellent purchase and I highly recommend this printer. When working at home, I now have the print speed to download and print out legal decisions from the web or Lexis, which was too painful to contemplate with the slow speeds of the HP 4L. I get 8-10 pages per minute regardless of whether the printer is set for draft or top quality modes. So only the longest legal decisions take more than a couple of minutes. Of course, as a law professor, I'm not often printing out graphics intensive files. Charts and figures do slow down the print speed some, so a more graphics intensive user might want to look at alternatives. I'm also not using it in a network environment at home and, at work, I don't share it with other users. So, again, your mileage may vary.Both my HP 2100M and 2100TN have been extremely reliable. They are quiet, the paper never jams, they have a reasonably large main paper tray, handle single sheet feeds fine. I've generated several camera ready texts on my HP 2100TN using the top quality print settings and had no complaints from readers or publishers, So for a low-volume, mostly text setting, this seems like an ideal printer

Summary: Nice Printer - Good Value - A Few Quirks
Review: Overall this is another nice printer from HP. We bought the TN networked version including PostScript capability for our Home Office where both my wife and I print from our respective computers and/or laptops. The setup and install of the network configuration drivers is a snap. Our network has a DHCP/Firewall device to share the cable modem and this printer works great in this "floating IP address" configuration. The print speed is good and the 1200 DPI resolution/print quality is notably better than our other HP-6P printer we still use as well. I have only two compaints about the printer. First, in this day and age the Ethernet should be 10/100-BaseT capable. We knew it didn't have the support when we bought it, but it doesn't seem worth the extra money to buy the more expensive print server that supports it. Again, I think this an expected network feature nowadays. The second complaint is the sound level of the printer. It is definately noisier than the HP-6P that we have. The noise concern is not so much the printing noise as a small fan (I assume) that turns on and off while it sits idle. When there is any background noise going on you don't notice it, but when I'm working alone it can be distracting at times when it either turns on or off and changes noise levels. In any case, overall, we like the printer and our happy with the purchase.

Review: Printer does not automatically select paper size. Paper size must be selected using printer properties which is not efficient.

Review: The autoselect feature does not work and it's a major problem for a network printer with 3 paper input trays. Push the wrong button in your word processor and it will reprogram the driver to work in manual mode only with no instructions in how to undo this. The 2100 is a great home printer, the 2100TN is a lousy office printer.

Summary: Feeding trouble
Review: This printer has trouble feeding itself. Pages often need to be pushed in, which becomes a chore. Not reccomended.
