1.0 out of 5 stars If I could give it 0 stars I would, June 3, 2010

This review is from: HP 2500N Color Laser Jet Printer (Office Product)

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 needs to be "office Spaced" and destroyed with a bat. When print out comes out it's all covered in random ink. The paper get's jammed all the time and lights just blink for no reason. I don't know where HP got a good reputation of printers but most of the ones I've used sucked. I've used an all in one printer also where it just broke in months. The toner ran out like every 3 months. So if don't get this printer.

1.0 out of 5 stars WORST printer ever, February 13, 2007

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 office. Of all the printers we support this is the worst one. But it's the one we're stuck with.

The guy who gave it 5 stars must be employed by HP. Don't buy this or you will be sorry.

Pros: None.

Cons: Horridly slow. Smears colors everywhere. One of the color cartridges is always out of ink which makes the whole thing stop printing.

OK, I have owned this model of printer for about five years now. I got tired of the slow, messy, cheesy, ink jet printers and decided to go for a quality color laser printer. As an IT Professional and someone who supported business class laser printer, I knew that HP provides quality. In my opinion, this printer makes a great personal printer and could be used in a small office. The HP 2500 color laser cannot keep up with the demand of a high volume office. For my purposes, occasional documents and quarterly reports, this printer meets my needs. The time to print from cold start is a long one but this is a case for all color laser printers of this vintage. Yes, it make a lot of noise on start up. It is testing all the components. As for print speed, it is faster than in ink jet and for personal use, I think that most people would be fine with the speed. I did, however, opt for the extra paper tray. This makes life a lot easier.
