1.0 out of 5 stars Huge Disappointment from HP, November 1, 2005

Over the years I have been highly satisfied with every HP printer I have purchased, until purchasing the HP Business Inkjet 1200N.

I use this printer at home, where I print less than 200 pages per month. I have had the printer for about 6 months. The printer crashes on a regular basis. Every light on the console comes on during these crashes. The on/off button does not function during a crash, so the only way to reset the printer is to pull the power plug, push the plug back in, hit the on button, and print the item I want before all the console lights come on again. The troubleshooting guide does not include any useful information on what to do when all the lights come on at the same time.

The printer does a great job of printing when it is working. I am very disappointed with HP as a result of my experiences with this printer model. I used to consider HP the premiere manufacturer of printers, but this model is a disaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really shines when you have lots to print, April 21, 2005

This review is from: HP Business Inkjet 1200DN Color Printer (Office Product)

I decided to upgrade from my Deskjet 990cse workhorse when I got tired of how long high quality page prints took and how expensive the ink became. I've had this printer for a few months now and really saw it's benefit while putting together a mass mailing to 300 people (some color, 2 pages, mail merge items). It has sailed through this job and seems to "sip" the ink rather than gobble it like my old one. I've done photo printing on this, too, however, it's not my Canon 9900, so they just don't compare. Got a business that prints a few hundred items a month? This is your machine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality print, strange sounds, October 2, 2005

This review is from: HP Business Inkjet 1200DN Color Printer (Office Product)

I purchased this 1200DN Business Inkjet to replace a 10-year-old HP Business Inkjet that had exceeded its life span, plus I wanted network capability. Attaching to the network was a snap.

This unit is smaller and sleeker than my old one, and the ink cartridges and printheads are easily accessible. I have had one paper jam in the duplexer but it was very easy to clear.

I am impressed with the quality of color prints but print speed is nowhere near what is advertised. I am concerned, however, with the noise this printer makes. Printers are never quiet, but it clunks and grinds like nothing I have heard before.

I give it a 4-star rating because I love the print quality and ease of use but I suspect it will not last as long as its predecessor.
