HP LaserJet 3030 Review

by Lisa Cekan

- The HP LaserJet 3030 is a sleek-looking monochrome laser MFP with the signature HP black-and-gray color scheme. It's fairly lightweight (26.4 pounds, making it the lightest model here), and compact enough to fit neatly onto a desk. The well-designed front panel sets aside discrete sections for faxing, scanning, and copying, as well as for controlling the LCD menu. Unfortunately the unit's performance leaves much to be desired.

User Reviews for HP Laserjet 3030

  • Reviewed by: razvan36

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: small dimensions, multiple functions (4 in one fax, copy, printer, scanner) long term usage of laser cartridge, good for small business.

    Weaknesses: does not have any printer cables to connect to the computer (bought 3 printers in the last 2 years, the first 2 had at least the USB cable, but the third one is missing even that one!!!).

    Overall Evaluation: It is a very handy gadget! The feeder allows for quick copying and faxing (I think up to 50 pages). The manual feeding tray is usefull for double side copying and for printing envelope addresses. The NOT INCLUDED USB printer cable is relatively easy to get from other devices (or I'm assuming from the store as well, and I don't think it is expensive!).
