5.0 out of 5 stars Simple set-up for my home network - PC, Mac, and Linux, January 5, 2002

Our home network consists of a router/hub, a dual-boot PC (Windows Me/Mandrake Linux) and a Mac (OS 9). The printer plugged straight into the hub, and was able to be set up using DHCP (our IP address strategy using our hub) as it came out of the box.

The instructions were very clear, and the printer worked properly for all of our setups. The print quality (when econo-mode is turned off) is fantastic, and in general, we're very pleased with the printer.

If your network has static IP addresses, or some other way of set-up than DHCP, it may be harder to configure the printer than it was for me (the other post I see here indicates that this is apparently something to be somewhat concerned about).

I love the printer and recommend it for a multiple-platform environment where you need high-quality black and white printing over a network at a reasonable cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality but not easy setup, September 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: HP LaserJet 1200N Network Printer (Office Product)

Hands down HP laserjet is synonymous with quality printers. The print quality is clean and crisp, and the printer is very fast, especially coming from someone used to bubble jet and ink jet printers. However, the network setup was a pain when high speed internet items are used that have a static IP address. I was spent quite a bit of time on the phone to setup what should have been a simple find the device and go type of install. I suppose a direct connection would be simple, but why spend the extra $$$ on the network version. Once the initial setup was over, a breeze to use and no problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away From This Printer!, September 2, 2005

I do not know about the later versions of the LJ1200, but I have a 1200, and I 've been sorry that I bought it since the first day I've had it. This printer is complete garbage. It is cheaply made, does not even print straight, and has trouble with anything other than a Windows PC. I have using HP Laserjets since the "HP LaserJet" was the current model, and this printer does not have *any* of the qualities that I used to associate with HP laser printers. Maybe this is HP's way of punishing us for not buying inkjets, I don't know. But you should certainly avoid this printer like the plague.
