I got one of these printers recently for nothing if I fixed it, so dutifully (and rather eagerly too) I set about fixing it.
Once fixed the printer was raring to go and even with it's low amount of memory it rarely has trouble processing pictures and general things that get thrown through it. The output is fast and the first page usually prints in under a minute even from a full page scanned image.
I have yet to fully asses this printers worth, but as far as laser printers go it seems to be light and durable enough for my purposes as a student. It also seems to be a good printer to have around in a small office, but it's slow page rate means that if you need a lot of copies now, you may have to wait for them.
The toner cartridges are fairly cheap to buy especially if you can get copied ones which will work just as well in any laser printer. It has a self-standby mode which turns itself off after a set amount of time to save you money on electricity. This I thought was a very neat gadget, as I am always forgetting to turn off my printers and monitors etc...
One final brilliant thing about this printer is that it doesn't create that horrible smell that some laser printers do when they have been running for some time, and it doesn't get hotter than a blast furnace like my previous printer could. It looks good too with its sleek lines and little semi circular feet.
All in all I would say this is a good buy for any home or small office, however if your needs are slightly more demanding then I would recommend something a bit bigger and faster for your money.

A good op, but perhaps a few more details about the printer's specification would be nice! I have one of these on my desk at work, and I think it's very good, especially the built in photocopy facility! Steve

I'm a big fan of HP and this was a pretty good bit of kit - not the fastest ever printer but it ran and ran. Ste.
Advantages: Print speed, quality, upgradability, price, reliability, quite small, easy to print on envelopes/small paper, Works under Windows XP Disadvantages: Square design, 4MB memory not enough for some image printing, supplied drivers not excellent
