Easily expandable to adapt to a variety of applications, the HP1200se brings crisp text and outstanding quality to your print jobs at home or in the office. Boasting a top speed of 15 ppm and a low start-to-first-print time of 10 seconds, this stylish, affordable laser printer installs easily with a single USB cord. An instant-on fuser cuts back on power consumption and nearly eliminates warm up time.

The HP1200se combines laser printing technology and 1200dpi resolution with HP's exceptionally fine toner to produce clear, crisp grayscale images. It handles a wide variety of paper types, including transparencies, sheet protectors, gloss, standard, and premium, as well as paper sizes ranging from 3 by 5 to 8.5 by 14 inches. A 250-sheet input paper tray, 125 sheet output tray, and 10-sheet priority feeder make this printer convenient for busy offices, while the 8 MB of RAM and additional parallel port allow the 1200se to handle multiple devices with ease.

Weighing in at about 18 pounds, this heavy-duty printer has a footprint of about 16 by 19 inches. Optional networking is supported, and you can easily upgrade with HP's scanner/copier attachment for increased functionality. Both PC and Mac Compatible, the HP1200se also comes backed with a one-year warranty on parts and service.

After using the HP Laserjet 5L for 6 years, I decided to upgrade to the 1200. I love it. It's fast, economical (tone save function) and expandable if your needs grow. I'm a one person business user, so I elected to add the copier / color scanner. This permits scanning and directly emailing docs. Also, OCR and FAXing directly. Wow!!

As usual, HP is superbly reliable, although supplies are no bargin (I'd never use gray market toner to save pennies).

Some folks complain about no printer cable - go to a retail outlet - no cable there either. It's standard practice, not deception. HP has captured the laser printer market through there very common 11 years mean time between failures of the printer frame (excluding the toner cartridge), excellent quality, and competitive cost per print (~2.2 cents per page with 1200 series), and speed 15 pages per minute. The copies this little guy produces are as good as the local copy shop!

I'd buy HP again without hesitation.

I've had my HP laserprinter for about 6 months and really love it. I frequently print out relatively large (50+ pages) documents and have had no problems whatsoever. The print quality is very good, and the printer is fairly quick. I have not had ANY printer jams since I bought it, which is quite a contrast to other printers that I've used in the past. Overall, a very reliable printer that is a great buy. In fact, I recently purchased a second one for my other office. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a WONDERFUL printer for the money, April 13, 2002

I researched buying a printer for a long time. I wanted a color laserjet printer but couldn't afford one because I needed a printer with a resolution of at least 1200 dpi. Well, I didn't get color, but this printer has a high quality resolution. You cannot go wrong with Hewlett Packard. The quality is excellent and even though you might pay a little more, you will appreciate it in a long run.

Bravo for HP!
