Advantages: Pretty fast

Disadvantages: Gets slower

Over the years i've had many experiances with various brands of printers at home and at work and they come in all shapes and sizes. Out of all them the printers I would recommend are the ones that are simple shapes, such as a square. The reason is simple, you get less jams and less faults. The worst model I have come across is the HP LaserJet 6L. After approximatly 300 printout the sheet feeder takes up to 10 pages in one go and this causes jams. It should take 1 page.

Sometimes it doesn't even take the paper and your PC tells you there is a jam. You have to open the printer and then close it again, and then get the paper out and put it back in.

The printer also gives you the option whether you want the output to come out through the top or bottom. When the paper come out through the top it's fine, when it comes out through the bottom it jams, 1 in 5 times.

I would not recommend this printer to anyone and do not listen to sales people who tell you how good this printer is. It may work at start but it's only time before it wears down.
