HP Laserjet 1100

Here I am with another printer opinion to help inform purchasing decisions. Thank you in advance for reading and I look forward to any comments you may leave. Firstly, my history of this product. I have been responsible for two of these printers on a network for about five years now. Our experience with each has been different and this puts a unique perspective on this opinion that I hope will encourage thought about purchasing printers for network usage. First, a technical outline. The printer is supplied with 2Mb of internal memory as standard. In both cases, we upgraded to 8Mb internal memory. Now, as a basic guide, the more memory a printer has the ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Hp 3.5 years ago from new. The price of it was quite reasonable for a printer, a HP laser printer. The first thing you realize when you umpack is that is ... big. Looks like a chunky solid block. To its favor , the width of it is quite small and combined with the big height makes it quite practical for its size. Image is simple and classical in a way. Like a Volvo (well , sort of). The built quality is more that good. Solid construction with quality materials used. I even dropped it from 1.5 meters and made a small "dent" on a wodden floor! The printer still worked , as usual. The only trouble that can give is ...  Read the complete review

I have installed many of these HPLJ 1100 printers as an IT Technician and they are nice looking and modern and are good printers with good print quality but after a while we encountered a problem with some of them and the problem is that because of the top loading paper tray the rollers were not picking up the paper as they should. I contacted the company and they said there are aware of the problem with that model picking up chunks of paper instead of one sheet and all they advised was to keep the paper feed full at all times. And as for the printers as they was under guaranty I sent them back and the rollers were replaced quickly. HP makes lovely printers and they have ...  Read the complete review

I have had this as my personal printer at work for over 2 years. In that time I have printed thousands (AND THOUSANDS) of pages. These include emails, CAD drawings, spreadsheets, PDFs and so on. I cannot fault this printer in any area. OK, there is one. When printing out very scaled down spreadsheets it slightly staggers a few gridlines on every page by one or two pixels but it is still presentable and I am talking 120 rows on a landscape orientated A4 page. This could even be down to the printer driver software or PC itself so I'm not worried about it. I note someone else who wrote a review talked about cost per page. Well I think I have used ...  Read the complete review

When buying a laser printer look hard at the cost per page. This is where laser printers work out much cheaper over the long-run than ink-jets if you are a significant user. There is also a big difference between laser printers. I looked quite carefully at the HP Laserjet 1100 -- very attractive little thing it is too. However, the drums are quite pricey and get used up relatively quickly. The result is that the print cost per page is 2 or 3 times as high as other laser printers. So I brought a Brother. It has the advantage that the toner (the cheap bit) is separate to the drum (the expensive bit) which helps keep the cost of printing down ...  Read the complete review
