I've been using this printer at work for over a year now and decided it was about time that I wrote a review about it.
**What is it**
The HP 1300 is a black and white laser jet printer and was designed to replace the HP 1200
**Appearance**
The printer is quite large in size measuring 245 x 410 x 485 mm (including paper tray) and weighing 19lb. This resembles a bread bin, as do most printers, with the paper tray sticking out of the front. The printer is a creamy grey colour so it does tend to show the dirt up. The Hewlett - Packard logo is on the front of the printer with ' hp laser jet 1300' written underneath. There is one large oval shaped button, and two LED's on the front. There is a removable side panel where the USB cable and parallel connections can be located.
** Specifications**
Max resolution - 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) Print speed - 20ppm (First page printed in 8 seconds) Maximum sheet capacity - 510 System Type - Apple Macintosh, Linux, PC, PowerPC Installed Memory - 16MB Connectors - Parallel - 25 pin D-shell (IEEE 1284A), USB - 4-pin Universal Serial Bus
**Set up**
This was incredibly easy and straightforward to follow. The printer box includes nearly everything you need: a toner cartridge, a power cable, a printed setup guide and installation CDs. Two CDs are provided (CD1 for Windows and CD2 for Macintosh). The software was installed on to the computer and there is an on screen wizard with full instructions to follow to install the driver. There are currently five people using this printer through the company network and there has been no problem with the installation on any of the five computers.
** Toner** As this is a black and white printer, it only requires 1 cartridge of black toner. The toner cartridge is incredibly easy to replace. The toner cartridge fits behind a removable panel above the main paper tray. Simply pull open the panel, take out the old cartridge, replace it with a new one and close the panel - easy and no mess involved
**Use**
In addition to the main paper input tray, you get a manual-feed tray that's located on top of the main paper tray. The main input tray can hold up to 260 sheets of letter, legal and other standard sizes of business paper, and the manual-feed tray can hold 10 sheets, as well as envelopes, card stock, labels and transparencies. An optional 250-sheet paper tray on the bottom increases the maximum input capacity to 510 sheets of paper. The output tray, which is at the back of the printer, holds up to 125 sheets.
The print quality is very high when printing text but it does struggle on graphics, and tends to look a little grainy.
Although it only has a memory of 16MB, this responds quickly to requests from the network. I am amazed by how quickly the HP 1300 prints, I only sit about 1 metre away from the printer and the page is always ready printed even if I get up immediately after pressing the print button on my computer.
The LED's on the front of the printer, used for troubleshooting, are easy to understand and are all explained in the instruction manual.
**Cost**
This printer costs around £200. The printer cartridges are a little pricey at £42 but they will print approximately 2500 pages.
**Overall**
Overall I have found this to be a great printer, although I wouldn't recommend using this if you want to print high quality graphics. It is incredibly quick and can easily cope with five people using it 8 hours a day We have been using this printer for over a year now, and apart from the paper occasionally jamming, we have had no problems with it. The printer warms up quickly and can be used almost immediately. The only problem that I have found is with the main paper tray, because it sticks out of the front of the printer it is quite easy to 'knock it out of position' and is quite difficult to put back.
Advantages: FAST PRINTING,VALUE FOR MONEY Disadvantages: NONE TO MENTION
I Bought this printer as a means to an end. I needed a fast printer but did not have the money to shell out for a high end laser printer.
I eventually used my IT Provider ( TCL Reprographics ) and they advised that this was the best option for the amount of money I had to spend.
Enough about that let's get onto the printer. Firstly I was surprised how easy this was to set up, It was just a matter of unpacking the printer attaching it to the PC ... ...19 pages per minute and has a 1200 x 1200dots per inch. The best thing was it was either a USB or a parallel connection which is a great advantage as quite a lot of the printers these days only come with a USB connection which could hinder some companies as they have older machines that don't support USB.
I only bought this printer to mainly print flyers and newsletters and needed to print a fair loa per month. This printer could handle anything ...

Advantages: Quick warmup, quick printing easy to use Disadvantages: Build quality and quality of photo printing could be better.
I have been using this printer for 10 months now and it has been an excellent buy. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. It cost around £250 and was one of Hewlett Packards 'entry level' printers. It looks good and at 8.5kg it is quite light compared to some other laser printers I have used in the past. It has 2 LED's for showing when the printer is ready or if there is an error and 1 button on the front for doing a self test print so it is ... ...would have been nice).
Size wise, it could have been better, it's not very high or wide (415mmm and 253mm respectively) but the 486mm depth can be a problem if space is tight. This is due mainly to the paper tray that sticks out the front and is one of the printers downsides. It is quite flimsy and feels like it's going to break everytime you fill it with paper. Talking of flimsy, the front door that accesses the toner cartridge also feels very ...

I use an other printer in my my office and i alway had my head in my hands A few day s back i get hpLaserJet1300n printer in my office ...and now i really enjoy printing .......with hpLaserJet1300n .

It take Aboout 5 to Ten Second before it is Ready for Printing ....
The print speed of hpLaserJet1300n is Up to 19 ppm
One of the excillent quality for office user is that its memory ............16 MB And it means a lot Also u can expand its memory upto upto 20 mb.

Also TheCost per page is very minimum it can print About ( black)up to 2,500 pages to 4000 Standred QualityPages ... ...
The HP1300n is bar far an exceptional printer (Even though only in black and white). I have had one for a while now they are rugged and last for a long time, The printer I recommend to people who have or are about to set up a home office or business, Most of the latest office printers out now in places like Staples have fax, scanner, photocopier and printer all in one I would advise that people try not to buy printers like this the first reason being if your printer breaks down it may effect the fax and photocopier. And the second reason new all in one printer have a shorter life span and are not a rugged and durable as the HP1300n.
On the downside the cartridges are fairly expensive to buy as they can cost as much as £40-55 each on the other hand I think that the paper and ink ratio is fairly efficient compared to more recent ...
Advantages: It is very quick, and it is quiet Disadvantages: Cost of consumerables
We use the 1300n networked to serve seven computers. It is very quick and quiet and is also quite compact, so it does not intrude on office space. The print quality is good - but not noticably higher than that of any immediate competition. The main drawback is the cost of the ink. In the space of one year we have exceeded the price we paid for the printer in the price for the ink. Our office downstairs uses the HP 1200. The cost of ink is two thirds that of the 1300n, and they appear to change the cartridge less often. There are more people downstairs than up, and their use of printers is generally the same as ours. ...
