Rating: - * Good printer, not for photo ... Good printer, no complaints so far for it's intended purpose. Photo prints are far away from that of Photosmart inkjets. The main benefit of this color laser is prints on plain paper do not resolve by water drops. Other than this, my Photosmart inkjet is far better and smaller. Rating: - * HP CP1518ni: This is a buyers remorse printer ... After reading positive reviews on the HP site, I thought this printer was a perfect match for my needs. This heavy printer was easy getting my computer to recognize the printer but once I hit print, that was where all the problems began. The drums made a loud screeching sound and the first page was a solid red with black ink. From there, nothing could print without streaking or blurring. Even after cleaning the drums, horrible print, page after page. Now, more than one week later, support services have delayed exchange, so much for "next business day," so currently am looking for another printer. Obviously, this new design has flaws. Someday day, it might become a great printer but I would not purchase at this time and save yourself aggravation. Wished we could have read someone's honest opinion about this product. My opinion has yet to show on HP's site. Rating: - * No good for barcodes ... The barcodes that are printed with this cannot be read by the scanners at the post office. This printer is junk. It's made in China by the way. Rating: - * Great image and color, but toners don't last too long ... I had a Samsung CL-300, about the same size as this pritner, but I hated the color from it. So when I got to use this HP at work, I was so surprised and HAPPY that the color is very close to what I see on screen. Prints nicely too. Since it's a laser printer, large scale photo doesn't look as nice as inkjets, but still does a great job! I love the manual duplex. I didn't understand what it meant until I tried it. I always had a problem with figuring out which side I put back in for duplex printing, but HP made it easier. When it prints out, just put the one-side-printed-paper back in the paper tray, without flipping it over or turning it, or whatever. Just put it in the tray the same way it come out. The worst thing about this printer is the toner usage. The toolbox application installed in the computer says the black toner is still 60% full, then after a minute, it went down to 10%... It's been less than 7 weeks and only printed 600 pages. It's suppose to print up to 2000 pages... After another print, the cyan toner did the same, from 60% - 10%... The toners aren't excatly cheap. The fuser is connected to each individual toners, so I guess that's why the toners are more expensive. I am thinking of replacing my Samsung (at home) with this (buying one for myself). I love the color and that I can rely on the close accuracy on the colors, but the price of the toners is making me think twice. Rating: - * nice for color printing but not photo. ... had this for couple weeks. prints okay. photo quality is not great. looks darker, lower resolution, & less glossy compared to inkjet printer. I guess the "Newly formulated HP Color Sphere toner" needs improvement. for photo, color print speed is less than 8 ppm.
