5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, Reliable, Compatible, May 22, 2010

By 

Douglas K (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (CE657A#BGJ) (Office Product)

I purchased this printer through a local retailer and was debating between the HP and a similarly priced wireless printer from Brother. The replacement toner cartridges are a bit more for the HP, but then again, they come with the drum assembly built in. This greatly reduces maintenance and potential hardware failures.

Setup:
As for setup, under Windows it's a snap. Put the CD in and follow the directions.

Under Linux (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)) the install was easy. I visited [...] web site and downloaded the drivers. From there, I just followed the directions on the web page and it works like a charm.

I've not used it with a Mac, but I did note that OSX is listed on the box.

Printer quality:
As for the printer itself. It has a very small footprint on the desk when the paper trays are not extended, and a small one when they are. It has excellent monochrome print quality and is very fast. As with all laser printers, the ink is waterproof once it's on the paper. I'd recommend it any day of the week.

The printer's body feels solid when you handle it. The input trays are similarly solid. The output tray feels a bit light, but as long as you aren't abusing the tray, it'll be more than sufficient.

HP Experience:
For me, HP printers are generally very reliable and always has good driver support both under Windows and Linux.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's How to Set it Up for a Mac (If Needed), October 30, 2010

This review is from: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (CE657A#BGJ) (Office Product)

At my house in the country my deskjet printers got so little use that they were dried up when I did need them, so when I saw this Laserjet for $99 I jumped on it. The toner cartridges can be pricey at $65 or so, but it's cheaper than replacing dried up deskjet cartridges for me, and I don't need to print color.

Considering that in the early 1990s when the first home laserjet from HP sold for just under $1,100, and business models sold for about $3,500, this still seems like a bargain to me.

It also works well (and better than my wireless Lexmark printer that lasted all of two months, and that wouldn't print anything if any of the cartridges were empty (if one color was gone, you couldn't even print black).

Here's how to install the printer on a Mac with OS X (10.6) (if needed):

1. Click Finder on the Dock
2. Click APPLICATIONS under PLACES
3. Click SYSTEM PREFERENCES
4. Click PRINT & FAX
5. Click OPEN PRINT QUEUE
6. Click PRINTER SETUP
7. Click the UTILITY tab
8. Click OPEN PRINTER UTILITY
9. Click the HTML CONFIG button
10. Click the NETWORKING tab
11. Click WIRELESS
12. Click INFRASTRUCTURE
13. Select your wireless network under AVAILABLE NETWORK NAMES (SSID)
14. Click the << button (to the left of the network names list)
15. Scroll down to AUTHENTICATION and click the choices after SECURITY MODE
16. Choose the type of security you're using (WEP or WPA/WPA2)
17. Under the AUTHENTICATION heading above this, click in the box following WEP KEY 1 and enter your network password
18. Click the green APPLY button
19. In the information box that appears and says, "Changes have been made ..." click the green OK button
20. Close the HTML CONFIG UTILITY window by clicking the red button at the top left
21. Click the OK button in the HP LASERJECT PROFESSIONAL P1102W box
22. Close the HP LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1102W box by clicking the red button at the top left
23. In the PRINT & FAX box click the choice for the HP Laserjet PP102W
24. Press the minus sign to delete the printer
25. Press the DELETE PRINTER confirmation button
26. Click the plus sign button to re-add the printer
27. Scroll through the list and click on the printer name HP LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1102W for which KIND (in the next column) says BONJOUR
28. Click the ADD button

That's it. Simple and reliable. And without the Lexmark issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied with printer, software is quirky, July 10, 2010

By

This review is from: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (CE657A#BGJ) (Office Product)

I bought this yesterday and have already used it to print well over 100 pages of double sided text. Thus far, I'm satisfied.

Positives:
- Easy installation; very few steps and very clearly explained in brief instruction manual
- Product is well packaged and it seems to be a fairly study design
- It runs quietly and prints quickly
- I haven't had any significant problems connecting to my wireless network or printing

I wouldn't give it any negatives, but be aware of one quirk with the software...

When you do double-sided printing, it is manual. This means that you print the even numbered pages, then remove the stack and place it back into the tray. At this point, you are supposed to press a "continue" button in a dialogue box that pops up on your screen. The problem is that if you attempt to do any work in another window, then that dialogue box disappears and you cannot press the continue button. There is no way to get it to reappear that I am aware of. It just disappears and you are left with a stack of even-numbered pages. The dialogue box will also disappear whether you do anything or not if the printer is on standby when you send the print job. So, if you want to print double-sided, make sure to turn it on (not standby) first. Otherwise, you'll again have a stack of even-numbered pages.
