Advantages: Fast, Cheap Printing, Quick To Use

Disadvantages: None

I bought my HP Laserjet 1015 when I doing my dissertation at university five years ago, so that instead of waiting six hours for my old inkjet printer to print 100 pages it would only take 10 minutes! I've also found since buying a mono laser printer I can live without having a colour printer except for a couple of times a year.

It's been my trusted companion ever since. I've replaced the toner cartridge twice in five years, I do use it a fair amount so I'm really happy with the amount I get between changes. I paid £20-30 for each toner cartridge refill, excellent value for money per print. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you on you're computer when its close to running out, so you have to wait till the print starts to get lighter as the toner levels get low.

The quality of print is good for a basic laser printer, it's clear and the print quality is fine where needed. It prints fast at up to 10 pages per minute, and the load time between pressing print and the printer starting is quick.

The drivers aren't required in Windows Vista, as they part of the pre loaded pack of drivers. I've also networked it across the home network hosting it from my computer, only using the Windows Printer Sharing.

Overall I've been very happy with the printer, over five years, no faults, only two refills and troublefree printing! Truely Plug and Play in Vista makes it easy.
