Let me start by telling you that I am a bit of an HP bigot. I've had Lexmark, Brother, Epson and Canon printers, but when it comes to your basic black & white laser printer HP is hard to beat. I have learned one tidbit that is relevant here, if the paper feed is vertical, stay away. Since the 1300 has a horizonal feed, keep reading.
This is a solid printer, perfect for an smaller office setting. At home you could save a few bucks and go with the 1300's less expensive cousin the HP Laserjet1000, which is slower and less flexible (no manual feed, not expandable, etc.)
The 1300 offers very fast printing, built in manual paper feed, and the ability to increase paper handling to a tad over 500 sheets. You can also get a networked version if you'd rather not share it indirectly through a computer.
We've had our HP Laserjet 1300 for a few weeks and it is rock solid. No paper jams (the 1200, which this replaced had a good reputation too), beautiful output, and consistent results. We use the USB connection to share it off one persons computer (our primary office printer is a Laserjet 4000 workhorse with an integrated network card).
You get a choice of 2 print cartridges, I would go with the higher capacity "X" version (lower capacity cartidge is "A" version) as the added cost more than makes up for the additional print capacity.
This is another great printer from HP.

Defective print cartridge
The printer is great. But the print cartridge is bad. There are dark streaks across every printed page. I suspect that this may be because the printer sat on the shelf for a long time (I think that HP no longer makes this printer). Newer the less, since I purchased this item "new", I would have expected that the print cartridge would at least be functional.
