I do not have a bad word to say about this. the printer is employed in my printing company for producing one off prints large scale and it does the job without any quarms. i have gone through loads of ink cartridges for this which does add up. but the money you can make for your time is well worth it. it is a little slow but if you are going to use it to print plans or like me one off prints it is fine if you can ...
...a bargain. I have never had any problems with this machine at all, I have printed literally hundreds of 60 inch by 40 inch pictures on it, you do have to look after the machine try to keep dust out of it don't put dusty paper rolls in.

...the cutter defective it took HP about a two weeks to have a new cutter send to the technician that was fixing the plotter. When I finally got my cutter working properly the car in which the cutter runs was not working properly. The technician requested info from HP and never got and answers back.

This machine has a small footprint so if space is at a premium in your office but the workload is high, this might be the printer for you. Hewlett Packard make good reliable printers in general and if the LJ4250 develops any faults H.P. parts are cheaper and more easily available than most.

...opportunity to have two different types off paper loaded and ready to print. There is one fault I am aware of with this machine relating to the duplex unit, if you expect to add a duplex later and do a lot of double sided printing, it has a habit of becoming a bit noisy; there is a cog that wears under the extra load caused by the duplex.
