Activity the machine off and unplug the nation conductor. The fuser might be hot if you bonk been using the printer. As a device step inactivity 30 minutes for the fuser to chilly before proceedings.

To attain the fuser, undecided the unexpended back entry.
If a duplexer is installed (shown beneath), shift it from the backwards of the printer. To disappear the duplexer, mold kill on the unripened tumbler and injure the duplexer out of the machine.

Succeeding, rotate the two nonindulgent levers at the top of both sides of the fuser towards the refer of the organisation.

With the dark levers "unlocked," raising up slightly on the dejected fingerbreadth handle (shown below) and indorse the fuser gone from the printer until the fuser catches and stops.

When the fuser catches and stops, flex the fuser towards you and conveyance it up and absent from the printer using the organisation strap hold. The fuser is misleadingly laboured, dont quit it.

Now pose the new fuser; slideway it corroborate in area and when it is steady, confine the bluish levers at the top of the fuser backwards in base. Reinstall the duplexer if it was installed.

The HP LaserJet 1100 is supplied with a mere 2Mb of internal memory as standard. We upgraded ours to have 8Mb. The more memory a printer has the quicker it can handle print data. It also has a 35Mhz Motorola processor.

The printer has a standard resolution of 600 dpi which is a perfectly decent resolution for a printer, especially a laser. It’s capable of 8 pages per minute and our experience is that it actually achieves that too. The printer can be connected using a parallel port or as is more commonly the case with a workgroup, network using the Ethernet adapter.

The paper tray can handle a total of 125 sheets, so while this has network capabilities, it might feel more at home as a single user or SOHO printer. I imagine larger workgroups might end up being a bit much for it after a while, especially with only 8Mb of memory.

We are such SOHO users, so can vouch for its capability as that. There are only three of us on our network and have yet to give the 1100 pause. We aren’t great printers, but there are times, especially when a deadline looms that things get a bit frenetic and we’re all trying to get our individual parts of a project done at once.

Print quality is second to none, even with only 600 dpi to work with. It doesn’t matter so much to a laser than to an inkjet. In our experience, coverage is much more even, precise and quicker than with ink. Photos and images are much better with an inkjet, but seem a bit more expensive to print. Our requirements are predominantly textual, so it matters little to us.

The LaserJet 1100 prints text well, whatever the size. We are journalists so we use standard fonts, MLA formatting and only the odd image, as the editor adds those himself. Test in Times New Roman is pretty standard, you can’t really go wrong with it, but when we print something non-work related, it handles other fonts and points very well indeed.

The HP LaserJet 1100 is a good old workhorse printer. While marketed at a workgroup, I’m not sure its suited to one larger than ours. It works well, prints well and has given us no trouble since we owned it.

To print a self test/configuration page from a LaserJet 3055:

- Press the Menu button
- Scroll to the right or left using the arrow buttons until "Reports" is displayed on the screen
- Press the Enter button (the green button with the check mark)
- Scroll to the right or left until "Config report" is displayed
- Press Enter

If you are looking for the printers page count, it wont be displayed on the config page; youll have to print out a usage page instead to see the page count.

I have looked after the HP Color LaserJet CP3505 in our office for the last couple of years and it has been the least troublesome printer we have. Its a color laser from HP so we knew it would be good, but how good only time was going to tell.

It is quite big, measuring 16.25 x 20.07 x 22.44 inches and weighing almost 75 pounds, so it needs its own table or stand. When you need access to the paper drawer or to free jams you need more space at the front to fold down the flap. Its quite noisy, but then an office is anyway so it doesnt really disturb us too much.

We mainly print technical documentation for mobile engineers, who always seem to need something right away. Fortunately the printer is up to the task, reacting quickly, warming up quickly then printing quickly. At 22 pages per minute for either mono or color prints its plenty quick enough for our needs. Newer printers are quicker, but this one is so good we dont want to change it yet.

All Hewlett Packard products are well built and designed to last, the CP3505 is no exception. It has a duty cycle of 65,000 prints a month and is built to do it too.

We don’t print anything like that, around half I imagine, and it hasn’t let us down yet. It gets jammed occasionally, but the flap at the front exposes most of the paper path so they are easy to rectify.

The standard paper capacity is 850 sheets, which is enough for most uses. Just as well as you can’t expand it. You can add memory and a hard drive if you want, but we didn’t need to. It can be connected either by USB or network, we have it connected to our network and it works like a charm.

It also has a basic LCD screen and mini control panel on the top, but we mainly control it from the desktop using HP tools. We have a mixture of Windows and Mac computers here and it works with either of them without any fuss. I think the LaserJet CP3505 is just designed to work with the minimum of hassle. If it is, it succeeds very well.

I have always used Hewlett Packard equipment. I used to work for them, then left but kept the brand loyalty. Its easy to do seeing as their printers and office equipment is so good. I bought the HP LaserJet 3055 when it first came out in 2006 and have been using it ever since.

Its a black and white multifunction or AIO as they seem to call them nowadays, the All In One. It prints, copies, faxes and scans all in one little box. Handy for small businesses like mine who do a little bit of printing, a little bit of copying and scanning, but not enough to need to buy a separate machine for each.

The 3055 was very easy to set up. It only has a single cartridge to install, the once youve unwrapped all the tape, its just a matter of installing the driver and letting it discover the device. It discovered it over my small network in seconds and installed everything in a couple of minutes. The tools it installs offer quite a few printing options, you can also lighten or darken the ink, just in case the prints or copies come out pale.

The print quality is very good for most business documents. Images and graphs are well drawn, with straight lines and good shading in the colored areas. Photographs were a little less detailed, but then you expect that with a laser printer. I dont print photos so it made no difference to me whatsoever.

Text was strong, dark and precise which works for me, even using headlines. They came out the strongest and work well for my documentation business. Copying is equally as good and can keep up with the 18 page per minute print time.
Scanning and faxing I dont really use much. The scanner is a bit slow, but works well and the fax transmits quickly. Other than that I havent used them.

Overall, the LaserJet 3055 is a great little device for people like me who do a little but demand a lot. The print and copy quality is good, its pretty quick and the end result looks good. Its easy to use, cheap to run and simple to maintain, Im not sure what else you would want from an office machine.

The HP LaserJet 4000 is a decently capable small monochrome printer that can cope with a small to mid-sized workgroup. In typical Hewlett Packard style, its small, functional and solidly built. Not much to look at but lets its results speak for themselves.

Productivity is the name of the game and the 4000 doesnt disappoint. At 17 pages per minute, its a steady performer, but the real delight is in the quality of the documents it produces. Text is rich and strong, black is black and lacks any jaggies, blemishes or smudging. The stark contrast between black and white is plain for all to see, which is the mark of a good printer.

It also handles graphs, images and photographs remarkably well. Laser printers are predominantly text printers that can handle the occasional image. The LaserJet 4000 doesnt blink when presented with a page of photographs or a PowerPoint with graphs. The detail is good considering its a laser, the grayscale works well translating color photos and images, with even tones and smooth transitions throughout.

The printer has 4Mb memory, with the option to upgrade it to 100Mb, and the RISC processor has enough power to cope with just about anything you can throw at it. That processor is the reason it didnt even blink when we gave it our test document. They are small, cool and powerful pieces of hardware and work well in this device.

Measuring just 39cm x 50 x 35cm and weighing in at 18Kg this isnt a big printer. It modest size and network capability offers a lot of freedom when it comes to placing and using it. The 250 sheet paper drawer and 100 sheet multipurpose tray will keep it going for a while, as will the cartridges which will last 10,000 pages for a normal one and 15,000 for a high yield version. Replacements are easy to install with the lifting of a flap and moving a couple of levers, they are designed to be easily maintained and succeed.

The LaserJet 4000 is a good little printer that will sit quietly until you need it then spring into action. It isnt big, flashy or ostentatious but it is reliable, sturdy and produces prints of an excellent quality at a decent speed. This is one printer any business would be glad to own.

Since it doesnt have a display screen, you cant view the LaserJet P1005s page count directly from the printer.  In order to see the page count, youll need to look in the print driver properties (or print out a configuration page, which is also found under the print drivers properties).

To view the page count for a P1005 in Windows, right click on the print driver and select Properties.  (In some versions of Windows, you may need to select Printer Properties instead.)  Then go to the About tab in the Properties window.  The printers page count will be displayed under the "Configuration Status" heading.

To print a supplies status page from a LaserJet Enterprise 600 Series printer (M601, M602, or M603):

- Press the printers OK button
- Scroll down to Administration
- Press OK
- "Reports" will be displayed; press OK
- "Configuration/Status Pages" will be displayed; press OK
- Scroll down to Supplies Status Page
- Press OK

We have several HP LaserJet 4240Ns in our office, and have done for years. They are very quick monochrome printers, at around 40 pages a minute and they are fast to react as the print job starts almost instantaneously.

Despite its modest appearance, the LaserJet 4240N is an enterprise level printer that can be apparently expanded to cope with a lot more than we ask of it. We have the standard 500 sheet paper tray and the duplexer, which was optional. The paper handling can be expanded to 3100 sheets, the memory can also be increased, there are paper handlers, finishers, staplers and stackers.

The Hewlett Packard quick start technology reduces waiting time for warm up. This is where the almost instantaneous start comes from. There is something special in the toner that doesnt need warming up like other ones so when you sent it a print command, it picks it up and gets started almost immediately. This is great if you need something in a hurry. While it doesnt make much difference in real terms, psychologically a fast response in a busy office does make a lot of difference.

As well as being quick, each of those 40 pages a minute are printed perfectly. The text is spot-on. Smooth, definite, sharp and clear are some of the words I would use to describe them. Photos and images are much the same quality. Theres quite a lot of detail printed onto the page with either of them. Photographs, although black and white are still good to look at and look exactly like they should.

The 4240N is fast also because it has a fast 460Mhz processor, and with the memory expandable to 512Mb, that makes it pretty powerful for a printer. That and the ability to network it is what makes it suitable for an enterprise. While our office hardly constitutes an enterprise, it does make a real difference being able to print and control the printer over the network.

The HP LaserJet 4240N is a great printer, we like them so much we have several of them. Theyre quick, good and can be left alone to do their thing once you load it with paper. They are ideal for impatient people like me who want things now, while not compromising on quality.

This stylish color laser jet printer has an amazing speed through which it is able to print 30 black and white papers per minute and 25 color papers per minute. This fast speed of this printer makes it the best choice for all work teams. We are a small work team however at times we are burdened with large workloads so we have to have large number of print outs in a little time, at such a time I deeply feel blessed to have this printer at our office.

The HP Color LaserJet CP4005n has a high speed USB 2.0 port as well as input capacity to as large an extent as 600 sheets. It carries 600 x 600 dpi resolutions which cannot be better for us. Its color quality is superb and that is why it can be relied on for all occasions and uses.

Its RAM memory size is just suitable for all types of use and extends to about 128 MB. This work group color printer is compatible with media type which includes envelopes, cards, high gloss papers, plain papers, labels and a lot more. It does not include a scanner otherwise it would have been complete in all aspects for office use. It has its own print server and print interface which includes USB and Ethernet 10/100 Base TX.

One of the main things is that it is compatible with all sorts of systems therefore it can easily work throughout the work team systems for instance it can function with systems such as Microsoft windows 2000, XP, Professional X64, home edition, XP professional and others.

The printer is available with cartridges already installed in it before it reaches the customer, therefore there are no hassles and no need of a printer specialist around. The system can be installed easily on all the PCs and networking is also a matter of just a few clicks. This makes it a superb choice because there is not much time in the office to keep installing and setting up the system so the ease it provides is really commendable.

We have been using it for quite some time now; at times the work load is high while it is also low at other times. However during these 6 to 7 months of its use, we have never experienced any technical problems with this printer. It works well and hardly ever is jammed.

OVERVIEW: One of HP’s first “Internet-enabled” printers of 2001, the LaserJet 8150 series gave users not only network printer access, but by providing printer management via a web browser, HP made it easier for administrators to manage multiple network printers from one location. The 8150 is able to provide medium to large-volume printing of ledger-size paper with high resolution images at print speeds up to 32 pages per minute.  Two 1-ream trays, Adobe PostScript 3, and 32MB memory makes the HP LaserJet 8150 a reliable workhorse for classrooms and offices alike.
