HP LaserJet Pro P1102W ? Wireless Networking, Affordable Laser Printer

HP LaserJet Pro P1102W ? Wireless Networking, Affordable Laser Printer

This black and white personal laser printer, the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W, comes equipped with complete, wireless network capabilities, meaning, on top of a robust set of standard print features, connecting a network of computers in your home or office is not only fast, but easy as well.

Operating at a print speed of up to 19 pages per minute for letter sized paper, and 18 pages per minute for legal sized, the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W is sufficient for speed in its personal printer category. With wireless connectivity as well, it is perfect for the home user who doesn’t wish to wire their entire house with Ethernet cables.

HP’s Instant On fuser technology allows for zero warm up time, and keeps the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W’s first page out time to only 8.5 seconds. Print resolution, while not ideal for imagery or black and white pictures, is definitely competitive for the desktop printer market, with a standard resolution of 600 x 400 dots per inch, and best quality set at 600 x 600 dots per inch. A resolution enhancement allows 1200 dpi effective quality to be possible via HP FastRes.

The dedicated controls are extremely simple on the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W, with only two buttons; a button to activate wireless connectivity, and a button to cancel a printing task mid print. Three LED lights are also visible on the unit itself, and indicate wireless activity, attention, and that the printer is ready.

A single high speed USB port complements the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W’s wireless capabilities for users who wish to have a simple, single host PC setup. Included memory ranks in at 8 MBs and is, unfortunately, not expandable whatsoever, meaning extremely complex print jobs, such as mixed text and imagery, may suffer some lag time. However, with stripped down, bare bones hardware that lacks open DIMM slots that many users will never take advantage of, the HP P1102W is able to remain very low in price.

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102W is not intended whatsoever for high capacity output, and HP recommends a maximum monthly printed page volume of only 250 to 1,500 sheets. That being said, they do back this wireless product with their one year limited warranty and limited technical support.

Though the device doesn’t include an automatic duplexor, as it is a minimalist printer, it does offer software that can assist users in executing manual duplexing when double sided printing is a must. Paper capacity is also extremely limited, with only a 150 sheet paper tray. The HP LaserJet Pro P1102W also includes a single sheet bypass slot that is ideal for special media types such as single envelopes, transparencies, and card stock, though they must be hand fed, one at a time.

A tencilica 266 MHz processor ensures that print jobs will continue to move along smoothly, even when very large, and a product weight of a very light 11.6 pounds means that the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W is not only affordable, but maneuverable as well.

HP LaserJet P3005 ? Monochrome Laser Series with Network Options

June 13th, 2010

HP LaserJet P3005 ? Monochrome Laser Series with Network Options

The HP LaserJet P3005 printer series was designed to be flexible, better suiting it for very specific work demands. With five model variations available, buyers can choose the hardware set that best suits their needs, without wasting money on accessories that are frivolous.

While the base model operates at up to 35 pages per minute, which stays constant throughout each of the five models, certain variations in the hardware include more standard RAM memory, allowing for better print speed consistency when dealing with larger printing tasks. Also consistent among the printers in the series is the efficient 400 MHz processor.

Model variation options include a HP LaserJet P3005d duplexing model, which makes double sided printing automatic, as well as includes additional standard memory, and the HP LaserJet P3005n printer which includes an HP Jetdirect fast Ethernet embedded print server and a total of 80 MBs of on board memory.

The base model comes equipped with only 48 MBs of internal memory, but all printers in the HP LaserJet P3005 are expandable up to 320 MBs. The HP LaserJet P3005dn variation comes complete with both duplexing capabilities and a Jetdirect Ethernet card, and, lastly, the HP LaserJet P3005x comes with duplexing, networking, and an additional 500 sheet paper tray for a total storage capacity of 1,100 sheets.

Standard paper handling abilities come in the form of a single 500 sheet paper tray and a 100 sheet multipurpose tray for special media types such as envelopes, card stock, and transparencies. The additional 500 sheet tray can be added to the models that lack it, and can be useful when constant switching back and forth from letter to legal sized paper is necessary. Output capacity rests at a very comfortable 250 sheets and an additional 100 sheet rear output bin. Up to 10 envelopes or 75 transparencies can also be exported to these bins.

The HP LaserJet P3005 comes with more connectivity options than we often see in bare bones laser printers, and includes an IEEE 1284-B compliant parallel port as well as a Hi Speed USB 2.0 port. Networked models also include an active Ethernet port, and all printers in the series come with an open EIO slot for expansion.

On top of the HP LaserJet P3005 series’ incredibly fast print speed, the unit also comes equipped with HP Instant On technology which allows for a warm up time of virtually zero and a first page out time of only 9.5 seconds. True 1200 x 1200 dot per inch resolution is attainable, and HP FastRes 1200 gives users a 1200 dpi equivalent while maintaining the device’s top print speed.

Further expandability options include various warranty extensions for up to three years, as well as HP Jetdirect wireless USB 2.0 print servers, and other wireless connectivity options which can help to make networking the device easier than ever. An additional hard drive can be useful for storing frequently used data for long terms, helping to get the most out of this fast, user friendly monochrome printer.

Hp 5000Gn/5000N – Networking Personal Printer

June 13th, 2010

Hp 5000Gn/5000N – Networking Personal Printer

Though the HP 5000gn and 5000n models are considerably slower than other laser printers in the same price range, the network ready monochrome laser devices still offer a decent amount of customization options including additional paper storage and memory, as well as a sturdy feature list across the board.

With a print speed of only 16 pages per minute for legal sized paper, and 17 pages per minute for letter sizes, the HP 5000gn and 5000n units fall short significantly in the speed category. That being said, the two HP models, while slow, were designed with the personal user in mind, and therefore come at a low cost with a small footprint while still offering many high end features.

Print resolution is selectable between 300 dot per inch and 600 dot per inch quality for high speed printing, as well as HP ProRes of 1200 x 1200 dots per inch for high quality. A 100 MHz RISC microprocessor helps to keep things moving in heavy output scenarios, but the HP 5000gn and 5000n’s first page out times still remain at a fairly sluggish 13 seconds.

A non network ready version of the model is available (the HP 5000) which comes at a slightly lower price tag due to the stripped down hardware, and also comes stock with only 4 MBs of standard memory. The HP 5000gn and 5000n come stock with 12 and 8 MBs of standard memory respectively. Via DIMM slots included in the hardware, all models can be upgraded with 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB DIMM chips for added performance when dealing with complicated tasks. A total of three 100 pin DIMM slots are available for memory upgrades, as well as two enhanced IEO slots, making the HP 5000 series one of the most versatile on the market in terms of memory expansion options.

The network ready HP 5000gn and 5000n come with a variety of network connectivity options including 10 Base T and 10 Base 2, as well as 10/100 Base – TX, Token ring, and Local Talk. Though standard paper handling is quite limited for the 5000 series models which sport only a 100 sheet single tray, expansion options include a 250 sheet optional tray, as well as a universal 500 sheet tray available for purchase separately.

Output capacity is locked at 250 sheets with an additional 50 sheet rear output bin for special media types that are incompatible with the HP 5000gn and 5000n’s standard paper paths. An optional duplexer is also compatible with a 250 and 500 sheet universal tray assembly. The maximum number of input bins is four, a very high number for a unit of this stature.

A width of 18.7 inches and a depth of 23 inches make the HP 5000gn and 5000n units slightly on the larger size for their performance category, and height depends entirely on the total number of input paper trays incorporated into the hardware. If you’re looking for machines that runs slightly too expensive as well as slightly too large for their output, look no further than the HP 5000gn and 5000n models.
