HP Laserjet 1018 Laser Printer

At just $130 (as of 8/4/2006), the HP LaserJet 1018 is the cheapest model in HP's current compact monochrome laser printer lineup. It costs $50 less than the almost identical LaserJet 1020 that we reviewed a year ago, but it sacrifices only a little...

Compact design ; Easy to maintain

Has a high cost per page ; Slower than most mono lasers

The LaserJet 1018 could be a sensible choice if space and convenience are paramount, but it delivers less than stellar prints at slower rates than most mono laser printers

HP LaserJet 1018 Printer

Whether you need a monochrome laser as your only printer in a small or home office, as a personal printer in a larger office, or to complement an ink jet so you can print professional-looking letters and reports with high-quality text, the HP LaserJet...

Small footprint. Lightweight. High-quality text and typical monochrome-laser quality for graphics and photos

Relatively slow for the price

The HP LaserJet 1018 is relatively slow for the price, but it offers decent output and is small enough to fit almost anywhere.

Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1018 Review and Prices

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1018 is one of the smallest laser printers currently available, but it may also be one of the slowest. It delivers relatively good value for home and home office use, as long as you're not in a hurry.

Very good to excellent quality output for text, good output quality for photos and graphics, lightweight and compact design fits in anywhere

Slow print speeds, somewhat high per-page printing costs

HP LaserJet 1018

Once upon a time, inkjet and mono-laser printers were like chalk and cheese. Inkjets were well-priced flimsy devices ideally suited to homes, while mono lasers were chunky, heavyweight office-based products – with high prices to match.

Cheap to buy, not too expensive to run and in a pleasant (albeit business-like) casing that won't take up large amounts of your desk, the LaserJet 1018 is the epitome of the personal laser. It's a better overall deal than the Dell 1100 and, while we'd...

LaserJet 1018 : HP LaserJet 1018

Personal laser printers are now available at sub £100 price points. One example is the LaserJet 1018 from HP.

Thinking about it, there is one particular job that I would not fancy tackling due to the heavy work load. That would be the task of keeping a check on all the various printers developed, currently and in the past, by Hewlett Packard. With the number...

Great laserjet for the money

The toner cartridge that came with the printer was good for approximately 2000 - 2500 sheets. Obviously I didn't count, but it was quite a while before I needed to put in a new toner cartridge.

I've worked with HP Laserjets for years as a network admin, and I've always been impressed with their performance and relatively rare equipment failures. This was the first Laserjet I purchased for home use, and after a year of use, it has performed...

The printer quality is outstanding, and it has the speed to match. As a law student I'm often printing 50+ pages of briefs and whatnot, and this printer does an excellent job ; I can't imagine spending more $ for a laserjet unless you're looking for color

great basic printer

Another good quality printer from HP, but I would probably not pay full price of over a hundred.

Got it almost free after rebate. I have used it to print hundreds of sheets and so far no problems. Easy to set up, and good driver support from HP

Had a 'rebate scare' from HP, where they were at one time rejecting rebates for this printer due to technicalities of who was an 'authorized reseller', but HP did begin to honor the rebates
