HP LaserJet 1018 Laser Printer (12 PPM, 1200x1200 DPI, B&W, 2MB, PC)

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

Tiny, easy-to-use unit is slower but also cheaper than most recent personal mono lasers.

HP Laserjet 3030 All-In-One Printer (14 PPM, 1200x1200 DPI, B&W, 32MB, PC/Mac)

Photograph: Rick Rizner

Fairly compact ; Text looked dark and clean

Slow scanning ; Subpar speed and image quality

Subpar speed and image quality make this small laser multifunction printer tough to recommend.

HP Laserjet 1200 15PPM 1200dpi Psl5e/6

WHAT'S HOT: The LaserJet 1200's text-printing is quite fast for a SOHO model, though it's slightly slower over a USB connection than over a parallel connection. At 11.7 pages per minute, it wouldn't look out of place on the corporate chart, though...

HP LaserJet 1200 review: HP LaserJet 1200

HP LaserJet 1200

Stellar output quality at a fast clip; Mac compatible; handy copy/scan attachment available.

No way to increase input capacity; design limits access to cables.

Fast and intelligently designed, the LaserJet 1200 delivers stunning output at an unbeatable price to SOHO users and small workgroups.

Consumer review (tigerdirect.com)

Outstanding value, great quality

Purchased this to replace old printer that was acting up during our busiest time. Quality and speed are great. Setup was easy, even in terminal server environment. Value is outstanding compared to other printers costing hundreds more. Duplex is great.

HP LaserJet 1200 laser printer

The HP LaserJet 1200 monochrome laser printer has been around for some years now, but remains a good choice for users who need to print a medium amount of text, or basic black and white graphics, on A4 paper. It's not really suitable for printing drawings
