Advantages: Still works Disadvantages: Jams then jams more, network problems
...is a plus point of HP printers and newer and older operating systems will not pose a problem. Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and NT4.0 or higher are all covered as are Mac OS 8.1 or above.
That really is the technical bit done - there is nothing more to say. Now, a brief overview of the network these printers serve and then on to how each one has coped with the life of drudgery it has enjoyed churning out sheet after sheet for the last five years.
... ...say that the brand of HP has been superb for printer reliability but you do have to pay attention to the side of the box. If it says workgroup printer this is for a small office of up to half a dozen machines printing a limited number of pages simultaneously. We have learned and the replacement to this printer performs memory tricks that would have David Blaine applauding.
Thanks for taking the time to read this opinion and I hope it succeeds in ...

Advantages: it is very fast printing Disadvantages: none that i know of
...that the speed of the HP Laserjet 1100a is the main selling point since it can throw out about 15 pages per minute! It doesn't quite reach this speed on normal or best mode printing, but it will still beat just about any other laser printer in it's class (especially at this price!). The quality of text and graphics are also quite impressive. In best mode, the LJ1100a can put out 1200 DPI quality graphics! Of course it's only black and white printing, ... ...for MUCH quicker warm-up times. HP Says that from the time you turn on the printer to the time it prints will only take about 10 seconds. I haven't really tested that fact out, but after letting the printer sit in standby mode for quite some time, it takes hardly any time at all for it to wake up and begin printing. Quite a good feature to have in a busy office, especially first thing in the morning and after lunch. Finally; Memory. The LJ1100a has ...

...that is quite happy to work with any platform you want to run it on. For quality and cost of running, you can't knock HP for this one.
I can't tell you how much it cost, because i didn't pay for mine. But I think they are about £100. ...

Advantages: Print Quality Disadvantages: Paper Handling
...1100 has all the usual HP features and print quality, it really falls down on it's paper handling capabilities. Having purchased a dozen or so of these printers we found within a very short space of time that the printer was feeding several pages at once and consequently jamming. We tried all the usual methods to stop this such as changing the paper supplier and ensuring the paper was separated before loading. After having spoken to HP they sent ...

Advantages: Fast First Page, Good Quality Disadvantages: Not Much Memory
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, ... ...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 ...

But for one snag, this is an excellent printer. It prints quickly, producing very clear, sharp print. It can take up to 160 gsm card, which a lot can't. It can be used from outside MS Windows, which a lot can't. But oh dear, they've slipped up in the manual, when they actively recommend duplex (ie both sides) printing. This is possible IF you re-feed the sheets one at a time, but don't try re-loading a stack of pages as recommended. This results ... ...sides. It's caused by toner rubbing off the first side as it's dragged over the sheet behind, in the feed bin. After vast correspondence with HP, it turned out that there seems to be no cure. Fortunately, feeding single sheets is easier than on the 6L, which had a much greater tendency to skew them.
The scanner is a nice extra, and works splendidly as a photocopier. ...

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use. Disadvantages: Paper jams can be tricky to deal with.
...used a number of the HP 1100 laser printers in classroom situations in a school and found them most reliable. The print quality is excellent and the speed of printing is as good as we need. Even over a network the speed is acceptable. We have had no problems with paper handling and it will print on fairly thick card. Toner is easy to replace and lasts a reasonable length of time - and comparatively cheap to buy. For the price, I doubt you could get ...
