Good Printer, driver installation could improve,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HP LaserJet 1150 Printer (Office Product)
This printer is fast and has good output. I received this printer several days ago, and I ran into problems installing the software. If you avoid these things, you'll have a lot better installation experience! I couldn't get it to install using the parallel interface, but I realized that my parallel port is set up as an ECP port, not a regular parallel port. The installer just hung saying it was doing post-install cleanup or similar. Luckily, the cancel button cleaned up the install without problems. The ECP wouln't work with my old LaserJet 3p, either if I recall correctly. I switched to USB, and installation went great. Next problem, the HP laserjet toolkit (which you need to use because there's no LCD display or menu) uses a web interface, and the manual (on CD or through the internet) says it will install Java 1.3.1 if you don't have a newer version installed. Well, I already had Java 1.4.x SDK, so it didn't install v1.3.1. However, the toolkit software wouldn't work with 1.4.x (the Tomcat (server?) said it didn't recognize version 48. I finally gave up and uninstalled my existing java and the HP printer software, and reinstalled the HP printer driver. Success! By the way, if you have to reinstall the software, make sure and turn the printer off first, or the computer won't be able to detect your new printer at the right time (and you'll have to start over again). Hardware 4 stars, driver installation 2 stars. I chose this printer over the Brother because there were reports of poor printing quality for some people.

A Great Home and Small Business Product,
By R. Mitra "mystery writer" (Long Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP LaserJet 1150 Printer (Office Product)
This is obviously an update of the 1200 laserjet printer. 8 megs of memory and upto 15 ppm. The print quality is good. The printer is noisy, which is the greatest drawback, especially if it sits next to you on the desk. Either HP forgot to enclose a manual or it does not exist. This would create difficulty for one who had never put together a printer before. It's a snap for others. Good product. |
