5.0 out of 5 stars Great replacement for my old Laserjet 4P, February 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: HP LaserJet 2300D Printer with Duplexing Accessory (Office Product)

This unit replaces a ten-year old printer. The HP site had a tool that recommended the 2300 as a replacement for the old 4P. If the 2300 performs as well, I'll be blessed. Early indicators are this unit is a winner. The print quality is fantastic. The output is quick. Install was easy. The features are better than the old unit.
I spent the extra money for HP reliability. I just can't skimp with my home office set up because work interruptions would be more expensive than I can stand.
I have no time or patience for paper jams, streaking or tech support calls. Need it all to work flawlessly all the time. HP rocks!

This review is from: HP LaserJet 2300D Printer with Duplexing Accessory (Office Product)

I took the plunge into printer ownership with this solid device from HP. I've used it daily for a couple of months or more and it has proven capable and reliable.

Pros:

a) Very good print quality
b) Reliable duplexer - has never jammed on me
c) Fast printing
d) Compact
e) Generally, simple to use

Cons:

a) Feels slightly lightweight and `squeaky', could be more robustly made. Fairly noisy when running.
b) Arrived with a power cable that had a defective molding at the plug - exposing live metal within!
c) Manual-feed tray options are poorly explained in the manual, and require fiddling about with when printing on various envelopes, for example.

I was glad to see a brand-name duplexing laser printer at a reasonable price at last! Although I'd love to print in colour, ink-jets have scared me off due to the extortionate prices of the ink cartridges. I know very few people who are truly happy with their ink-jet printers after they discover their `bargain' requires one or more cartridges at $40-$50 a time; pretty soon they have paid more for ink than they forked over for the printer itself. Clever marketing, but very unfair on the poor consumer. On the other hand, good grayscale printing in duplex meets 95% of my needs admirably - and this printer delivers it.

This would be a good buy for a home or small home office.
