Advantages: quiteness, price

Disadvantages: drivers, paper feeding

I purchased an HP 6L printer. At 6 pages per minute it isn't the fastest laser printer out there. But the drivers aren't that great. Need to reinstall them from time to time cause the printer decides it doesn't want to print anymore. It doesn't have an on/off switch, the printer turns on/off by itself, which is pretty cool at first, but then I never understood when it decides to turn off. Sometimes the LED stays on all night. It doesn't make any noise in standby mode which is good. It also has another problem which seems common to all types of HP printers (inkjet or laser), it's not so good with paper feeding. Sometimes several pages go through at once and sometimes blank pages come in between printed pages. Plus the paper path isn't straight so it's not great for printing on thicker paper.
