HP LaserJet P1005

Technology wise, I am not the best. I do love technology and am always looking out foe new updates etc, but in terms of managing any technological items, I am a disaster. Previously I've had three printers which were in a nutshell...useless! I have no luck with printers, computers and phones, among others. So when my last laser-jet printer broke, I was determined to find a reliable, trustworthy machine that would last me a decent period of time (5 months was my all time high!!) I bought this HP Deskjet in 2009 when I was in college and it was an essential rather than a luxury. I knew I would ... more

Background to purchaseI bought this black and white laser printer to replace a wireless inkjet, about three years ago. I was a student at the time and doing a lot of printing, so it just wasn't economical to keep paying for ink cartridges. My printing needs have now changed, but I have been very pleased with the P1005 throughout the last three years and continue to use it on a regular basis. The printer was roughly 55 pounds from Amazon at the time of purchase (this included 1/2 a toner, equivalent to about 700 sheets of printing). It is not wireless, which suits me fine as i have a desktop ... more

I have been using this Laserjet Printer since a while. This was my first laserjet printer that replaced my old Dotmatrix printer. It has been a dramatic shift in a way i used to do printing of my documents earlier and now. The speed and ease of printing with this printer is enormous. The Cost of printing also comes out to be reasonably less looking at the amount of printing is done at my home, as my husband is used to take prints of his work at home as well. * The printer comes with a setup CD that contains Driver for this Series of HP printers. There are few other applications as well which ... more

My 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 but not too shabby] and has an output quality of 1200-dpi. It has a 133 MHz processor and 2 MB of memory. One advantage of this printer is that ... more

I purchased HP Laserjet P1005 one-and-half year back from a local HP dealer. Its a good product for those who want to use it in their house. It can be used for office also, but I am satisfied with this product of HP. Though, its black and white, but its cartridge refill is available locally and at reasonable costing so Its a good thing to be purchased. I would suggest people to purchase it. I have referred this to my friends, 2 of which have purchased it, 6-6 months back. All are happy with this product. I like this product as it prints with a normal 15ppm speed, which is good for a home based ... more
