Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2600n Printer

Pros: I didn't wait another day to return it.

Cons: Lousy photo printing, manual guides are loose, crippled Mac support and non-existent tech support.

The Bottom Line: Why lug a 60 pound paperweight home and then back to the store again? Get the Samsung CLP-500 or 510.

Review: To see an HP color laser for $299 and Mac compatible, I was totally excited. That's too bad because I got my hopes up and wound up stinging mad. The print quality of printing photos was horrible. Colors were washed out by 40%. Blacks were gray, ...

Pros: Worked for about five minutes

Cons: Self destructed in another five minutes

The Bottom Line: Didn't last more than five minutes before committing suicide

Review: Well what can I say, I bought one of these yesterday and diligently followed the directions to hook it up. I selected the USB hookup. Everything went fairly well and all test prints were perfect. The first thing I noticed was how the paper discharge ...

Pros: None

Cons: Forces you to waste money on color cartridges when you are not printing in color!

Review: We wanted a printer that would do both color and fairly medium-volume B&W. I want to reinforce what the above poster said: the color cartridges wear out even when you are only printing black and white. I did an online chat with HP and they confirmed that ...

Pros: The ability to replace whatever color is empty on the color cartridge.

Cons: SLOW, bulky, SLOW, loud, SLOW

Review: This printer is slower than slow. I could have a caricature artist copy the things I need copied faster than this "R2-D2" looking bulky printer! It also gives off an annoying hum, sounds like a shop vac. Don't try talking on the phone to clients when ...

Pros: Inexpensive to buy

Cons: Very expensive to keep

Review: Color toner cartridges went out fast when printing photo. The page count is recommended 3% coverage. Who prints 3% coverage ...

Pros: Color printer that is cheap to buy. Toner easy to install.

Cons: Toner leaks into the air, toxic when inhaled. Replacement leaked and wasn't warrantied.

Review: Printer leaked toner near the end of the warranty. We got a replacement printer under warranty. The replacement had the exact same problem and more (misaligned colors) WITHIN 6 months of receiving the replacement. HP won't warranty the ...

Pros: Nice graphics on the box.

Cons: Endless paper jams, questionable image placement, disappointing performance.

Review: If you do purchase this printer, be careful to take it out of the box very carefully, save the bags, and your receipt. You may be taking it back. Nothing but trouble. Endless paper jams. Some pages with nothing on them. And from a designers stand point, ...
