Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description The HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One delivers fast black-and-white printing, copying, and faxing and color scanning—all in a compact design that's perfect for workgroup applications. Providing up to 15 ppm printing in 1,200 dpi effective resolution, with just a 10-second wait for the first page out, the HP3030 features a powerful 240 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, and compatibility for PC and Mac users alike.

Copying is achieved at up to 600 x 600 dpi resolution. Speed is up to 15 cpm, with just 12 seconds to the first page out. The unit offers adjustable contrast, reduction and enlargement from 25 to 400%, and up to 99 copies at one time. The HP 3030 has a built-in V.34 fax modem for easy workgroup faxing, with 120 programmable speed dial locations and up to 110 pages of memory (2 MB). High-quality, color scanning at up to 9600 dpi enhanced resolution (600 dpi optical) in full 24-bit color supports everything from documents to photographs.

The unit accepts a wide range of media types and sizes and features versatile handling options—a 150-sheet input tray, 10-sheet priority input tray, and a 50-sheet auto-document feeder (ADF). You can choose between flatbed or sheet-fed operation for copying, faxing, and scanning. For single documents or special items, you will likely select the 3030's letter-sized glass surface for easy flatbed operation, while larger multi-page jobs that don't require observation lend themselves well to the ADF.

The HP LaserJet 3030 offers both USB 2.0 and parallel connectivity. Toner replacement is easy, thanks to a single print cartridge. The unit is Energy Star compliant and comes with everything you'll need to get set up quickly (except cables). It is backed by a one-year warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice features but several problems, May 26, 2006

In many ways I really like this all in one, it's does great copying, printing, scanning in all ways except that it often prints slightly crooked on the paper, off by a small but noticeable amount. HP tried over the phone to help me resolve this with no success. Since I have other printers, I learned to live with this until the machine died recently. HP sent me a refurbished replacement which after about a year of ownership I was happy to do, they charged $34 for a temporary warranty "uplifting", no problem with that. However, I am sorry to report that this refurbished version has the same page misalignment problem as the last one. Yes, I've checked my power supply, use HP paper and toner, etc. This is just an unfortunate and non-trivial defect for this otherwise fine printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic if you have a 32-bit operating system, January 11, 2010

This review is from: HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One (Office Product)

I've owned this multifunction machine for five years (Dec 2004 to Jan 2010). I've used all the major functionality -- print, scan, copy and fax. I have few, if any complaints about its performance in any of these areas.

I selected it above the other "All-in-One" machines on the market for the following reasons:

- I wanted the print quality and low per-page cost of a laser printer (i.e., as opposed to an inkjet).
- I wanted the flexibility of scanning/copying bulky things like books -- so I wanted a flat-bed for scanning.
- I wanted reliability and believe that HP has a good record in that regard.

I purchased this unit for about $449 in Dec 2004.

I'm so satisfied with this product that I'd happily use it for another five years except ...

I recently got a new PC. After verifying on the Windows 7 compatibility site that the 3030 is fully compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows 7, I chose to get the 64-bit version of Windows 7 installed on the new computer. When I plugged the HP 3030 into the new PC, Windows 7 helpfully downloaded -- automatically -- necessary drivers. It started printing fine immediately -- how delightfully simple!

But then when I tried to scan, I realized it didn't work. I tried to download new scanning drivers from the HP website for Windows 7 64-bit. All I found there was a "Universal Print Driver". Apparently, the 3030 is not "Fully Compatible" with 64-bit Windows 7! I called HP and they verified that there was currently no scanning drivers available.

So I'm sadly replacing this machine with a new one which is allegedly compatible with 64-bit Windows 7: the HP LaserJet M1522nf MFP

I hope that this is helpful.

2.0 out of 5 stars HP gone way downhill, October 24, 2006

Pythagoras "angry dad" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One (Office Product)

I had an HP LaserJet 4MP for about a decade before it finally went. I doubt that I will get that kind of service from this machine. I also had a Xerox b&w WorkCenter for copying that went about a year later. same concerns. i got this primarily to replace the copier. With this HP the toner cartridges go in no time. The scanning is slightly askew, and there is some color distortion. Also, the scanner utility is pretty inept. The print drivers do not function properly, preventing my up-to-date Windows XP from going to sleep mode. HP was once a symbol of dependabilty.
