HP Just do the job
Review of HP Deskjet D1460 by
com235
Advantages: Small, Quick, Software Great
Disadvantages: Loud
I love this printer. This printer is so small but can print so fast. The thing in my mind that makes this printer stick out to me in my mind is the fact that the driver software on the computer is brill it allows you to choose what type of printing you will be doing for example if you are just going to be printing a page of a website you would just selete general everyday printing. If you were printing a photo you would click on photo printing so ...

not fab, but good for the money
Review of HP LaserJet P1005 by
princesslaura
Advantages: not too big, quiet
Disadvantages: not a fantastic printer
...husband has been using the HP Laserjet P1005 at work for the past few months. His [much more expensive] laserjet broke down and he was quite put out to receive this in return!
Amazon charges £69.75 for this product [with free delivery within the UK]. At this price you know that the printer is not going to be top of the range, however, it's not total rubbish by any means. It prints at speeds of up to 14ppm [which is no good for high volume printing ... ...1200-dpi.
It has a 133 MHz processor and 2 MB of memory. One advantage of this printer is that it is fairly small in comparison to many others on the market [which saves on valuable deskspace - more room for coffee cups!]. It is also quite quiet [my husband's last printer sounded like an aircraft taking off whenever it was turned on].
It comes with a 150 sheet input tray, which I would consider adequate for most home use.
Hi-speed USB 2.0 connectivity ...

What a performance by Brother
Review of Brother HL 2030 by
natty250
Advantages: Affordable, good quality,
Disadvantages: USB connection only
...printers I plumped for the Brother HL-2030. It also has its bigger 'brothers' (sorry pun unintended at time of writing) the HL-2040 and HL-2070, but I didn't think the 2040 offered much more for the money, and whilst I would have ideally liked a network printer it was out of my budget.
So - to the main point of this review - what is it like???
*** Appearance ***
It comes packaged well, in a sturdy box, with the instructions, and driver CDs easily ... ...in a plain (grey) get-on-with-the-job way. It is very small, official dimensions list it as being W 371mm, D 361mm, H 166mm. And it has an integrated paper tray holding 250 sheets. All this make it a compact, and lightweight device able to take its place on the desktop without being an eye-sore, or tucked on a shelf/under a desk.
*** Installation ***
The printer comes with two sets of driver CDs. One for Windows Vista, and one for Windows XP and ...

Dymo Labelwriter 320
Review of DYMO LabelWriter 320 by
Debiuk
Advantages: No ink or toner and very low maintence
Disadvantages: Does not print in colour
...you want to use genuine Dymo or compatiable labels. Printing is quick and a bit noisy but nothing to disturbing. I have found the Dymo Customer Services extremely easy to deal with and very helpful with complete followup from the staff. Any problem resolved quickly and in a professional manner.
All in all, I highly recommend this item and should it have to be replaced, I would definitely purchase another. ...

It really works it's life!!!
Review of Lexmark Optra E+ by
bcnlondon
Advantages: Very long working life
Disadvantages: Installation might be a pain in the neck!
...PS2 under the name e.g. Lexmark PS2 and once - better printing quality - as a PCL5 under the name Lexmark PCL5 - faster print speed) and try to use it once as a PS2 and once as a PCL5. This will confuse the printer driver which will start printing the printer software code.
For your own protection I strongly suggest you to avoid installing MarkVision (the Lexmark printing control panel facility) which was especially made by Lexmark to drive you ... ...heavy duty printers ever!
Lexmark recommends to print on paper stock of up to 180 gsm, while I have printed - with a little pushing - paper stock of up to 300 gsm with no problems.
If you are a graphic designer, you will find Optra E+ (with PS2 enhancement) ideal for printing in-house newsletters and other mass mailing documents (brochures, flyers etc.). The Optra E+ prints at 15 (heavy graphics + pictures) to 30 (text + simple line art graphics) ...
