No More Waiting for High-Quality Prints
HP's exclusive Instant On technology allows the LaserJet P1006 to be up and running in no time. Thanks to this printer's PowerSave mode, your first page will be printed in less than 8.5 seconds--twice as fast as printers that don't use this time-saving technology. Subsequent pages are printed at up to 17 ppm using HP's high-quality spherical toner cartridges that produce high-resolution documents and images up to 1200 dpi.

The Laserjet P1006 has plenty of on-board memory and processing power to get the job done. This printer uses a 266 MHz processor and 8 MB of memory to ensure high-performance results and reduce time spent waiting on prints.

Long-Lasting Toner Cartridges
Like most laser printers, you can expect a long life span from each and every toner cartridge which saves you money in the long run. The average life span of the P1006's toner cartridges is about 1,500 prints, and the printer's built-in cartridge intelligence will alert you when toner levels are getting low.

Aside from having an exceptionally long life span, HP's innovative new spherical toner is much smaller than the traditional toner cartridge, which allows he P1006 to be much more compact than the average-sized laser printer. As a matter of fact, the P1006 is one of HP's smallest laser printers on the market.

Print Using a Variety of Media Types
The P1006 will print using a wide range of media types, including envelopes, letter-sized paper, postcards, labels, transparencies, and more. The 150-sheet input paper tray ensures that there will always be paper ready to go, and the 10-sheet priority input tray makes it easy to print when using special media.

Reduced Impact on the Environment
HP has designed the LaserJet P1006 with the environment in mind. This eco-friendly printer is engineered to use the smallest amount of power possible to get the job done and in turn has been named as an Energy Star qualified printer.

This printer not only works to save on electricity costs, but it can also help save paper and toner as well. Its simple one-button print cancel feature allows a simple and quick way to cancel any print job before any paper/toner is wasted.

The P1006 is compatible with both Windows (including Vista) and Macintosh. It measures 13.66 x 8.82 x 7.64 inches and weighs 10.3 pounds. It's backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
HP LaserJet 1006 printer, introductory HP LaserJet print cartridge, Getting Started Guide, printer documentation, CD-ROM, support flyer, and power cord.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Printer... Needs a Driver Update!, February 4, 2008

By	Christopher J. Chagdes (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this printer, I bought it on sale over the weekend for under $100 (couldn't resist a laser printer at that price!). I probably printed about 700 pages this weekend, one of the perks of being a Grad student I suppose.

The Positives
-Prints quickly and great font quality
-The printer is SMALL, smaller than my injet.
-Works great with XP and Vista (sorry, No Mac to test on)

The Con
-This printer won't work with my wireless print server. The reason given is that the driver doesn't support it at this time. My workaround for the time being is to share the printer from the desktop in my office since I do most of my printing from my laptop in another room.

Hopefully that driver or a firmware upgrade to the print server (whichever comes first) comes out soon! Otherwise this is an incredible laser printer for the price!

On a side note, many people in discussion forums have complained about the high cost per sheet for a laser printer (about 4 cents a page), it is still far lower than any inkjet AND the printer just came out, as far as I've seen, Laser cartridges (at least here on Amazon) tend to fall in price by a few dollars after the product has been out for 6 or more months. I don't see this changing for this printer as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars HP should be ashamed, April 8, 2008

By	J. A. Cencioso "Father Figure" (Flagstaff, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This printer shares a similar footprint with the Laserjet 1012 and 1022. Do not be fooled! It only has a half size (relative to the others with its form factor) toner cartridge, which costs exactly the same (effectively doubling your cost per page). There are issues where the printer will not print from Microsoft Office on the Mac (but those are are driver issues which will be eventually resolved). I hate feeling cheated, and I am very displeased that HP discontinued the other (full-size toner) printer line without telling the consumer they were getting only half as much for effectively the same price. Find a Laserjet 1012 or a 1022, if you still can, and let HP know that selling half as much value, in a full value size package, for a full value size price is not acceptable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much faster than I expected, December 8, 2007

By	R. Shecter (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm very happy with the printer so far - it's actually exceeded my expectations. I bought it one week ago to use for occasional but very important printing - I'm in law school, and when I need something printed, I need it NOW. :-)

I've used many printers in the past and always had good experiences with HPs. I also currently own the HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Printer (Q7822A#ABA) which is a $400 color laser (which has been excellent). Finally, HP is an American company, so I was specifically looking for an inexpensive HP laser printer when I bought this. I realize that I could have gone with a Brother laser for around $100 or so, but I need absolute reliability - no compromises whatsoever.

The bottom line is that it met all my expectations - small, quiet and great B&W output for documents. I don't print much graphics, so I can't comment on that aspect. By the way, I'm using it with a new MacBook Pro, and there have been no problems.

The printer exceeded my expectation with respect to the speed. It seems to print very fast - nearly as fast as a larger office HP. Just my subjective impression - I haven't timed it with a stop watch.

The only possible negative is that I didn't find an instruction manual included. Not even on the CD-ROM. It may be that I overlooked it because I was in a rush to get going. But HP has an excellent support website where one can download drivers and manuals for all models, even very old ones. Further, the set up and install of the printer has been just like every other HP printer I've used.
