This is my 2nd go at a colour laser printer. Last week i ordered the dirt cheap samsung clp something or other for about £115. It was rubbish, took ages to get set up (like hours) and then it didn’t even work properly so i sent it backordered this instead, more expensive, but think it fits the bill better with eprint and airprint. There is no set up required from an ipad or iphone incidentally, it just picks it up as a printer and hey presto, you are off – brilliant stuff. And even with setting it up wirelessly on laptops it was really really straight forward – much simpler than the rubbish samsungwithin 1 hour i had it out of the box, installed on 3 laptops and printing from all devices. The only negative i can see is that it is quite larger – although only a little larger than my mono laser printer. But then bare in mind that once installed, it doesn’t need to move so i don’t really think this is a reason not to buy itprint quality wise, it seems brilliant quality. All in all, i would definitely recommend it.

Update for lion users using time capsule and bonjour. Obermann ‘bahamut’ review giving stage by stage instructions works. The cd supplied is useless for mac users. However make sure your apple software is right upto date – hp are updating drivers all the time. Have a look at the hp website which does give some pretty clear instructions how to load the drivers either from apple or hp. Hp do give a short video you can click onto that basically reiterrates the obermann set of instructions (last part). There is one slight ambiguity that obermann doesn’t make completely clear (the video does). Having worked through the process and you are ready to click + in the print section of system pref the hp laser printer immediately appears in ‘nearby printer’ – don’t click on that, click instead on add other printer and you will see the the printer appear again in the printer with bonjour.
- Review for Mac users on Lion
- A first class home printer – great for WiFi printing!
- User friendly Hi-tech printer
A very good quality colour printer to have. Best hooked up to home network and print using wireless.
A first class home printer – great for wifi printing. A first class home colour laser printer with easy set up and excellent print quality on basic paper. My kids were printing more and more pictures on my reliable hp laserjet 1018 but could only print in monochrome. I also now have a wireless network at home but still had to return the laptop/netbook to the desk and plug in the usb cable to print. I also couldn’t print from the ipad or iphone. The overall function of this printer – especially wireless e-print – is superb. Set up took the usual 20 minutes by downloading most recent drivers from the hp support website, rather than the supplied cd. It recognised my wireless hub no problem and the test page arrived shortly afterwards. I can now print effortlessly to the printer from ipad 2, iphone 3gs, netbook and laptop (both running windows 7) from anywhere in the house. Digital photos, e-mails, pdfs all print in good quality.

An extremely heavy printer, quite unlike my previous canon, epson inkjet photo printers, build quality is superb. Connection to our home network – ethernet to imac running snow leopard, wireless to my new macbook air http://www. Uk/macbook-notebook-1-86ghz-storage-graphics/dp/b00486u214/ref=sr_1_12?ie=utf8&qid=1319367761&sr=8-12 running lion, ipad (first generation) running ios5, samsung netbook running windows xp and toshiba laptop running windows 7 all up and running within minutes. Text print quality is excellent, as you would expect from a laser, likewise digital images are superb, even on basic paper and very quick. Haven’t tried printing with dedicated photo paper yet, unsure wether it’s available – something further to explore. Finally, the current (october 2011) hp promotion gives a £55 cash rebate making this excellent value. Ordered from amazon 1400hrs friday, delivered 0800hrs saturday – amazing service.
Print quality is better than i had expected for a printer of this price. (better than the big colour multi-purpose laser at work) but the real bonus is the hassle free compatibility. Managed to print from a windows xp desktop over usb, ubuntu laptop via wifi, ipad via airprint and android smart-phone via hp e-print all in the same evening i opened the box. I did the firmware upgrade others suggested and also needed to find and press the virtual wps button on my router, but neither task took long. The longevity of the toner cartridges, given their cost, is my only concern.
