5.0 out of 5 stars Good speed and quality, nice little footprint, November 13, 2004

I bought this printer to make double-sided printouts of order forms, and I am very pleased with its performance. The print quality is clear and even, the machine is very reliable even though I printed over 25,000 sheets on it the first week.

Cons: the paper sometimes gets jammed as it feeds from the tray, and even when you fix the problem and hit the green "okay" button to continue printing, it continues to register a problem until you cancel the job and shut down the printer. Also, the initial toner cartridge does not last very long, it's only good for about 1,000 sheets. The extended life toner cartridges are much better but are pricey at $130 each.

Overall a good machine and worth the money, the double-sided printing feature is a very nice bonus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fast, duplex printer but manual feed is weak, December 10, 2004

By 

way finder (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP LaserJet 1320 Laser Printer (Office Product)

The print quality is excellent, and time to first page print from cold-start is very short. I love the duplexing on this unit and the ability to print 2 & 4 up. My main complaint about this printers is the manual feed function. Basically, I think the 1320 has some fundamental design flaws with regard to manual feeds. I can now do envelopes reliably with the method described below, but feeding standard letter-size paper is still an iffy proposition.

The manual envelope feed work-around that I've kludged together is the following:
1) take the regular paper tray out slightly (2-3 inches) so it does not feed from there
2) have the paper path go straight-thru
3) adjust the manual feed guide to fit the envelope
4) send the print job to the printer, and wait for the yellow indicator light to blink before putting in the envelope (feeding the envelope earlier seems to not work)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great SOHO printer, April 24, 2006

This review is from: HP LaserJet 1320 Laser Printer (Office Product)

This is a fantastic printer for the price (currently $250 to $300). It is very fast, very quick to print the first page and the duplexer works well. I think it is quiet and easy to set up. It comes with 2 versions PCL and PS emulation, so it should work well and quickly on any print job. Unlike laser printers of old, adding 128mb of RAM should only cost around $45. I don't have a problem with the 1 sheet manual feed. If you have a lot of pages to print you can change the paper in tray. The next printer (2420) up the line includes a 150 + sheet utility tray, so that is another option as well.

Those of you complaining about printer cables are complaining to the wrong people. All of the manufactures would be happy to include a printer cable. Because the perceived value of a USB cable is around $20 and they cost about $1.50 it is a good deal for HP, Canon, Epson, Samsung, etc. to include them. However, when Epson included USB cables a couple of years ago in their first all-in-one printers, that benefit only lasted one product cycle. The retail people (Circuit City, BBY, etc.) told them to stop including cables or they wouldn't buy AIO's from Epson. On most printers priced below $129, the stores make more money on the printer cable than on the printer.

When you consider that the first hp LaserJet (no number) cost $2495 (when that was real money) printed 4 pages per minute when the wind was right and the stars aligned. It had 2 resolution settings 150 and 300 dpi and had a very tough time printing graphics. Then this printer is truly amazing by comparison. When you buy the 49x cartridge your cost per page will be 2.2cents or less.
