Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its fast printing speed, expandable memory, and multifunction capabilities, the HP LaserJet 1100se is a good choice for home users and small businesses that need advanced black-and-white laser printing. Although ink-jet printers have steadily improved in printout quality, when you need the ultimate professional look, laser printers offer the best results, especially for text.

Setting up was easy--the HP LaserJet 1100se works with Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT 4.0, and even OS/2 and DOS. In our tests, the HP LaserJet 1100se worked well out of the box. Hewlett-Packard continues its high standards of quality with the HP LaserJet 1100se--our printouts were crisp and had a high contrast. This printer also has impressive expansion capabilities that are useful for growing businesses or home offices that may need additional machines in the future. Its 2 MB memory is expandable to 18 MB to handle even more complex documents. In addition, HP's exclusive JetPath technology lets you add optional copying and scanning capabilities without degrading the speed and copy quality.

Pros:

• Fast printing speed
• High resolution
• Expandable memory
• Printer cable included

Cons:

• Black-and-white printing only

4.0 out of 5 stars Very solid, but jams more than any laser I've seen, June 12, 2000

This is a very solid basic laser printer. It understands all document formats that I've ever sent it and has provided sharp quality output now for 5,500 pages (or so my printer test page tells me).

My primary complaint is paper jams. The 1100 has a tendancy to occasionally grab several sheets at once. This tendancy is most aggregious when paper is running low - if there are 5-10 sheets left in the paper tray/slot, it will often try to feed them all. The instruction manual says to always remove all paper when reloading with more - this definitely helps, but doesn't address when the printer is running low... which is often because the paper tray/slot only holds about 100 pages. So I end up having to constantly glance over before I print to see if it is running low on paper - if so, take all the remaining sheets out, stack nicely with new sheets, and stick back in. A little bit of a pain.

Note: if you do get a jam, you can often clear it by opening the cover and just grabbing and pulling the sheets out. Occasionally this won't work (I had the mother of all jams two weeks ago, when the 1100 feed 15 sheets at once). In these situations, open the front cover, take out the toner cartridge, and locate the binder/roller pressure bar - it is secured by two large silver head screws on the left and right inside the front cover. Slightly loosen both screws to give yourself more slack, pull out offending sheets, tighten screws. Even with these problems I still like the printer because the output looks sharp and clean. Think about getting the "Ase" or "Axi" model for additional functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean Copies, Dependable Printer, June 29, 2000

By 

R Holland (Phoenix AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP LaserJet 1100se Printer (Office Product)

Been using this printer in a small office for over a year. After 1 month, it performed so well we purchased another. Both have been maintenance free and consistently produced clean copies. We print anywhere from 50 to 800 pages in a given day and have had no problems. A good laser printer for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Laser Printer, June 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: HP LaserJet 1100se Printer (Office Product)

At it's price range, and considering how cheaply the toner cartridges can come by, it's the best value for the money. Easy set up, excellent print quality, and I like the manual tray and the auto-shut off feature. The only concern I have is that the top feeding trays will collect dust, but I've remedied that with the suggestion to cover the top when not in use. After 2 great HP Deskjet Ink-jet printers, it looks like this Laser is going to carry on the HP tradition of quality in my house.
