Advantages: Prints Fast, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Cannot print on 110lb cardstock

I have had my HP Laserjet 1600 for a couple of months now and at first I wasn't to pleased with the colour quality, but after it got broken in it started getting better. I use it quite a bit, sometimes printing 500 sheets a day, so it seems to stand up to the work load that I put it through. One drawback to the HP Laserjet 1600 is if you're printing card stock it cannot print on 110 lb paper. I should have checked into this before purchasing it but ... Read review

Advantages: high quality prints, fast, cheap to run
Disadvantages: bulky

...a great addition to the epson range. this printer is of an affordable price and the cartridges are reasonable. i use mine for alot of photos (the quality on even inkjet photo paper is fantastic). the speed of the printer is pretty fast too, your first print can take around 30 seconds due to the warm up process however every print after that is seconds, i have had mine for about a year now and is still going strong. the cost of the cartridges are ...
...if you want a cheaper alternative you can by refill kits and recycled cartridges for alot cheaper. The only issue i had was the bulky size howevr a wireless print server and and spare room came in very handy.

Advantages: Solid and Reliable
Disadvantages: Running costs

The Xerox Phaser 6125vn comes from a long line of thoroughbreds, Xerox are experts at turning out solid printers and they even look good. The print quality is more than adequate and there print speed is ok too. This printer is great for small offices, Estate Agents seem to like them and I can see why, they are reliable and ideal for printing house info with colour pictures of "nice fixer uppers". There are a couple of drawbacks however, Xerox toner ...
...of warrantee can be frustrating, Xerox will repair but there prices go through the roof and getting parts is an expensive and torturous ordeal if you want to fit them yourself, I have to order bits from France and it can take up to 14 days. Having said that The Xerox Phaser 6125vn is less likely than most to break down and should give years of faithful service especially if you use good quality paper and toner. ... Read review

Advantages: Good print quality
Disadvantages: only Windows compatible

Bought one of these for a workgroup of 20 and got it working and printing from network within 30 minutes. One small problem was I couldn't seem to get the Add Network Printer option to work for the clients with full compatibility for Monitoring etc. We added the printer as "local" and pointed to the printers IP address, it worked fine. The print quality was better than expected. I found it better than a Lexmark we evaluated which was more than twice ...
...no banding on block colour prints and the speed is good. One worthwhile upgrade is to expand the memory, ours is maxed out to 144mb (£50) and it hadles large powerpoint files without any problems. If you have a larger user base or are constantly colour printing all day, there may be more cost effective solutions long term as the toner is quite pricey. Only other drawback is it only supports printing from Windows clients, but that said it has been ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, prints fast,
Disadvantages: Too expensive for heavy use

...poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine. Set up and install ------------------------ Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date ...
...Supplies ------------ About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30. * 1 x toner cartridge ( cyan ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( magenta ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( yellow ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 2500 pages Looks --------- Chunky but not especially bulky if that makes any sense.
