HP Color LaserJet 2500: Good Prints at a Great Price

 

Color laser printers have lagged behind color inkjets in popularity due to high unit costs and so-so print quality. But the HP Color LaserJet 2500 series, with models starting at less than $1,000, could change that.

WORST printer ever

It's slow piece of junk. And I mean SLOW. I've had to use this thing for the last two years at my work. It's been an experience similar to the one they had with the printer on the movie Office Space. The sad part is that I work in a computer support...

If I could give it 0 stars I would

We use this printer at work. It sucks...makes a ton of noise but nothing ever comes out. It takes literally 10 minutes for the first sheet to come out after a bunch of blinking lights and noise. Have you ever seen the movie Office Space. Well this...
