HP Laserjet 4050

I was the first person in my office to get a laser printer and the one they chose for me was this HP 4050 LaserJet printer. I've had this for so many years I can't even remember when I had my previous one. This is probably one of the best printers ever made, and here is why. First of all, this machine is extremely durable. We print hundreds of pages a week, and every page is as clear and crisp as the first one. Over the years, we've had to have the drum replaced twice, but that's hardly excessive, considering the number of pages we print. The paper bin holds a full ream of paper (500 sheets), and we also purchased an extra bin to hold ...  Read the complete review

As workgroup printers go, there are none better than HP’s 4050 series. They come in a range of models from the basic to ones including print servers and additional paper trays. The HP 4050 is the king of mid priced printers it carries on the good values of its forerunner the HP LaserJet 4 series.

The only problems with the printers can occur in the set-up stage when they are connected to ...  Read the complete review

The HP4050 is a great printer for the small office. The speed of print is fantastic and the ease of use is also great. It is very easy to setup using the WEBJETADMIN tools supplied by HP and connects to a TCP/IP network very easily.

The drivers supplied with this printer were a little out of date but that is common with printer now and a visit to the HP website is a must for new installations of ANY printer. I used the webjetadmin tool downloaded again from the website ...  Read the complete review

The 4050 printer by Hewlett Packard was a replacement for our 4L in our office. The 4L was an absolute reliable servant until the last year of its 4 year stay in our office and produced 1,000's of copies of work. It now resides in my bedroom as my home printer and works fine as it was the network card that prevented it from continuing use in the office. The 4050 took over and had some new added features. It had a deeper paper tray so could hold more paper. It was a quieter and quicker printer while still maintaining the print quality of old. It was a bit bigger that the 4L but this may be because of the increased Paper capacity. At £1000 it is serious money for ...  Read the complete review
