This is another piece of kit from work that weve been using now for about 8 months. The poor thing has been dumped in the computer suite as a workhorse for the hoards of print happy kids who pass through it all day. Alas, it has failed the task - through no real fault of its own. We have another one sat in the heads office that has had one change of the black cartridge in the same amount of time as weve had the other one. The kids one had been through about 7 changes of all cartridges and weve had enough - off the to the staff computers it has gone, to plod away with gentler demand. We cant afford to keep it for the kids anymore. Not until they realise that a webpage might actually take 12 pages to print out and that you only need to press print once and apply something known as patience. Unfortunately, children do this;
print Wheres my printout? print Wheres my printout? print Wheres my printout? print Wheres my printout? print Wheres my printout?
They carry on doing this until it comes out and then toddle off to leave the other 20 copies to pile up on the tray.
Print quality ----------------
And its a shame - this printed really nicely. The black was very black and the colours were bright and lively - remarkably different from the inkjets we were using. The text was very clear at 600x600 dpi, no matter how close you get to it. To be honest - a bit too good for the kids!
It handles most media well though weve not used an extensive range beyond paper (recycled) and photo paper. The blurb will tell you it takes: Envelopes, transparencies, labels, plain paper, glossy paper, glossy photo paper, cards, matt photo paper, bond paper, recycled paper. Nothing special but will do most things youll need.
The printer will churn out the goods at a fair old whack. All that rubbish the kids print flies out compared to the poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine.
Set up and install ------------------------ Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date as that flies above my level slightly. All-in-all it seemed easy and we had no problems getting any of the stations to print and weve had no further complications. I have noticed that the printer had a long warm-up time on the network which is partly what hastened the kids with their rapid fire impatience with the print button.
Supplies ------------ About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30.
* 1 x toner cartridge ( cyan ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( magenta ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( yellow ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 2500 pages
Looks --------- Chunky but not especially bulky if that makes any sense. The footprint is about 40x40cm and it sat snugly in a corner of the suite, to quite a height on the bench (again, about 40cm). Lets just say that it had a definite presence without being domineering. Sort of like my wife. If I lie a lot. Its grey and streamlined and I suppose it has a bit of style. For a printer. If you care, then youre weird. The above is what HP says. Not what I'd say! If we were ever doing more than 1500 pages before a cartridge went AWOL then Id be amazed. Mind you - I haven't counted. That would be sad.
Techy bits -------------- The printer sports 16MB onboard RAM and a Motorola ColdFire 4e 264 MHz processor. This means bugger-all-on-a-stick to me. It doesn't seem to make it work any faster though anyway. Thats enough techy stuff. Its dull. Go look on the website if you need to know more than that you lazy so-and-so's.
Overall ---------- Yeah I like it and Id buy another one for school if we needed another laser anywhere. There are better but it all comes down to hair-splitting stuff doesnt it. How fast do you need? How clear do you want the print? I really can't imagine how you could need more than it gives you but hey - everyones different. Definately dont buy this though if you have 25 kids wanting to print webpages!
Advantages: great print quality - easy to install - small - good LCD display - easy to use menu system Disadvantages: poor print speed - noise
I do a lot of work from home and needed a new printer that would let me print off reports in colour quickly, for a fairly cheap price and it had to be reasonable compact so not to take up much space in my tiny work area at home. Having always used Hewlett Packard printers everywhere I worked their online shop was the first port of call and after browsing through the wide range that they sell I opted for the Color Laserjet 2600n for £210.
When it ... ...it was enormous but thankfully most of this was bubble wrap. The printer sitting nicely protected in the box was tiny compared with the colour laser printers I'd previously used being 40cm wide, 45cm deep and standing only 37cm tall. The weight was a bit of a struggle as it is heavy most the weight being positioned at the top of the printer where the inner workings and toner are placed. Overall weight without paper is 18.4kg.
The printer does have ...

Advantages: Good print quality - when it works Disadvantages: Bad print quality on anything except standard paper, unreliable toner cartridges
It's a shame that the Laserjet 2600 is so unreliable as the print quality is excellent. Our experience is as follows:
First of all, printing on anything but blank 80gsm paper causes background toner smearing all over the page. We have tried many different types of card stock and glossy papers, all designed for the Laserjet 2600, but they all give the same problem. If you want to print on anything but standard A4 white copy paper, then avoid this ... ...magenta line appeared on the printouts. After checking the magenta toner, there was a light scratch on the drum. We replaced this, and the printer worked again. We have now started to have a black repeating mark on the pages, which I presume is down to the black toner, which still has 1500 pages remaining. We are waiting to hear back from Hewlett Packard, because constantly replacing faulty toner cartridges when they have only been used lightly is ...

Advantages: Low Initial cost, individual colour/black Cartridge refill, efficient, ideal for small business. Disadvantages: Expensive refills, bulky machine.
I have had my HP 2600n for around two months now, and originally bought for small business use, though I have mostly used for personal use at the moment. On arrival I was quite shocked on the size; and as it is situated at home it doe's take up quite a chunk of my office/bedroom. But of course being a HP product the print quality live up to the company reputation of high standards and the speed of printing is satisfactory for my needs. Unfortunately ... ...area. And Anyone from HP doe's read this. "It would be a better design if the hinge for the cartridge area door was at the top there for protecting the tray on opening"
Overall though, I'm happy with this product, and I do recommend it for home and small to medium business use. ...
