HP LaserJet 4000n

I'm constantly using the printer at work as I am an administrator for a small team of ten people.

Having written about one of the printers I own (Brother HL-1230), I felt that I should give my review on my workhorse printer. It is an Hewlett Packard HP 4000TN! Whereas, the Brother is for small office and home use, this beast is definitely designed for medium to large office use. It is ethernet capable which allows it to be used by a network of computer users. I have run several HP printers, and have never been disappointed. So, when I purchased this one from a man running his own computer business company, I knew somewhat to expect. Page after page of quality printing being punched out by ... more

The printer does look dated now to be honest, as it is an older design, but it looks functional and has an LCD screen on the top of the printer that shows the menus and error messages.

This is an A4 printer so will only print on A4 paper and envelopes, both from the paper tray and the manual feed. There is an indicator on the outside of the paper tray to show how much ... more

First things first: the HP LaserJet 4000 is one of the most reliable laser printers I have ever worked with. It is built solidly with a sizable drawer for paper. The quality of printouts is very good, even on economy paper. It makes minimal noise, is built compactly to save space and prints at a reasonable speed. Installing the printer might lead to difficulties, as the manual is not very descriptive. I have found the HP LaserJet helpdesk an excellent source of support, which they deliver for free in most European countries to LaserJet users. Once the machine is connected, however, you can ... more
