Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5L

Pros: Laser quality text, fairly fast and quiet.
Cons: Paper jams with less than 25 sheets loaded. Black and white printing only.

Overview: If you have one of these printers, chances are you bought it either used or refurbished. I seriously doubt there are any new ones left in any warehouses since this printer was originally introduced in September of 1995 and discontinued ...

Pros: speed, quality, cost, low maintenance
Cons: see review about power requirements...

Fortunately for me, my boyfriend runs his own computer consulting business, and he comes across these printers once and again. Since he likes me so much (aww...), he let me "permanently borrow" one that was lying unused in his garage. For those of you ...

Pros: Good prints, compact, relatively noise-less
Cons: has a paper feeding issue that I explain in the review

My Experience: I bought this printer on the web, used, sometime in 2002. Mine came with an extra toner cartridge which was great. I have probably used 4-5 reams of paper on this printer, and my original cartridge is still going (but it is on its last ...

Pros: Prints clean black text
Cons: Manual insertion of paper

The bottom line This is a decent laser printer which prints crisp, clear black text. It does not print very quickly, but does the job. Unfortunately, due to limitations in the paper feeding design, the printer is not user-friendly. The ...

Pros: Everything!!
Cons: None!!

This printer is a great! I couldn't have asked for anything better for crisp black and white text and graphics.
I bought this printer from an on-line printer website. The 4 pages per minute is a little slow but it is pretty good for $85.00. The toner was only $35.00 with the discount! The price of 1 ink cartriage for an inkjet printer. I have Windows XP on my laptop. It works great on that operating system!
The bottom line: I would reccomend this printer to ANYBODY!!

Pros: Small footprint, good print quality sometimes.
Cons: Grabs 10-15 pages at a time, every time.

Decent printer at first. After a few months, the well-documented multiple-page-grab problem manifested itself. Now that the resale value is below $25.00, and we don't have a boat, we tossed it away. A $600.00 write-off. Thanks HP.
