2.0 out of 5 stars Fast, but really poor quality, October 24, 2003

I purchased the printer with a lot of excitement about owning my own color laser printer. As a small business owner who sends out proposals almost daily, it would have a significant increase in the presentaion of the proposals. What I didn't expect when I purchased this was that the print quality would be surpassed by my $150 inkjet printer. I printed out 5 different proposals on this. The quality was so poor I decided to print 2 more on my cheap Epson inkjet. The quality on the Epson far surpassed the HP. I had to pack this up and return it. I could not legitimze spending money on an inferior printer.

Also, when you buy the 1500L instead of the 1500, you don't have an actual paper tray. You have to keep the box open and slide paper in sideways so it stick out the front at an angle. This is both unattractive and annoying on a desk.

Overall, this is a surprisingly poor printer from a company I normally have some faith in. This printer got an excellent review on a trusted site, but they must have a different opinion of quality than I. One good thing; it does print very fast, it just prints in really poor quality.

this printer fails to perform as expes.ected. Its quality is not as good as my inkjet but for the price of this printer you'd expect more. HP has gone down the tub

4.0 out of 5 stars okay laser jet, December 19, 2003

I was disappointed that there was no real paper tray, but I was pleased with the 8x10 prints I printed..600 dpi...I did not expect GREATness for $700...it assembled and installed easily...I am wondering what price is for printing a normal color photo...I picked this up at Costco on Impulse and so far am happy...as I had PC virus last year, never got my Epson installed again and I HATE buying ink cartridges and doesn't toner last a lot longer and is more durable? I hope to keep this printer! Also, I could not find the toner at Costco, a disappointment....would have liked to have known the price of it first..but the box said you got a sufficient supply in the beginning, that is a plus..
