Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1300 Printer

Printer Like New, Exellent Seller, Fast Shipping, Thank You---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 1300 prints about twice as fast as the 1200, but both are equally robust. Here's some info that you won't find on HP's website.

1. The aging HP Laserjet 1300 is still a very reliable printer. I have several 1300's with 120,000+ pages printed through it that are still working. With no maintenance at all. For a smaller printer, thats pretty good. Replacing a fuser isn't as quick as the 2420, P3005, 4000, 4200 series printers, but I've only had to replace 1 fuser out of 20 1300's so far.

2. HP Laserjet 1300 works well with every USB or Parallel print server that I've encountered-- Jetdirects, Netgears, and D-Links. The new HP line of laserjet printers are "host-based" (in other words, CHEAP), and most of them don't work at all with print servers. This was intentional by HP both a) to cut costs and b) deter people from networking their small laserjet printers. That's a real pain in the neck for administrators in small businesses who want to TCP/IP network some of their printers to cut costs.

3. The cost per page (CPP) out of the 1200 and 1300 series printers is much lower than the new line of equally sized HP printers. 1200 uses C7115X, 3500 pages, around $72 plus tax ship. 1300 uses Q2613X, 4000 pages, around $92 plus tax ship. CPP is roughly 2.5 cents/page. The new desktop HP laserjets have a CPP of 4 cents/page, and sometimes even higher.

Summary-- if you're an individual who doesn't print a whole lot, then getting a fancy new HP printer will do you fine. But our offices (150 employees) are still using these 1300's, because these "just work", and they do it at a cost that's actually reasonable.

I have a HP Laserjet 1200 printer at home and a 1300 at office. Very compact, durable and fast small office printer. I had a part failure with the 1200 but still insist on using this type of printer from past usuage. Price is reasonable.

This printer works in a faster pace than the big one that is being used at the office for about 60 different people. The quality of the prints are perfect and I have been doing large quantities of printing. Works great, the description in the page was perfect, it arrived safely and undisturbed.

We had trouble getting it going at first, but with help from the seller, we got it up and running and are very satisfied with this product. It was well worth the money we paid.

The printer I order was well packed with bubble wrap and came quickly. So to my surprise a plastic piece inside (guiding the toner cartridge) was broken. I took the printer to a place in town for repair, and after having the printer for a week they were unable to locate a new piece to repair it. So it is basically junk. I do not think the seller intentionally sold me a broke printer but it is broke none the less.

Everthing was as promised, would recommend. Received package in no time and product was as described. I purchased a printer and it is fully functional

I bought one brand new about 3 years ago on the recommendation of fellow Mobile Notaries. Several times a month I must print two copies of emailed document packages of 100 to 125 pages, and they have to print fast and smoothly. The printer was easy to set up and use, and it has been a dependable workhorse for 103,753 pages with only 67 jammed pages (some from my exchanging letter size for legal size and vice versa without lining up the paper edges well enough). Last week pages started coming out with a crease on one side. Close examination showed a tear in one side of a grey flexible plastic roll where the paper feeds out. With no time for a repair job, and knowing I wanted another HP1300, I came to eBay to find it. Replacing one HP1300 with another HP1300 is simple - just unplug the computer cord and the power cord, delete the old HP1300 from your printer list, plug the cords into the new one, wait while your computer finds the new printer, add it to your printer list, and you're up and running again. Some older printers have conflicts with the new Vista OS, but we are running two desktop computers on Windows XP and a laptop on Vista, and the HP1300 works perfectly with all of them. It's the perfect black-and-white printer for any SOHO - inexpensive, reliable, simple.

what's not to love!!!

This printer is a 4 year old unit - never opened - still in the box - hooked it up - loaded the CD in my MS XP tower - printed a test page - not a single hitch -
I am not sure if it will communicate with my Vista laptop - but for now it is a huge pleasure.
Since this is a LaserJet - the toner is powder - not inkjet

Cost for toner ranges form $40 - $60 for up to 10,000 pages - much less than inkjet printers.

great deal on a great printer++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Fantastic printer...I have been using the HP LASERJET 1200,which looks, prints great too. But this Printer is Faster and has more features. This Printer is Quality built and RELIABLE.
