HP LaserJet 1300 Review

by Dan Littman

- WHAT'S HOT: Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet 1300 prints text at a speedy 15.2 pages per minute when connected to a single PC via USB--certainly fast enough to justify the printer's higher-than-average $399 price tag. PC World tests all SOHO printers over USB, but note that you can attach the 1300 to an ethernet network with an optional $200 card. We liked the 1300's clean, smooth text, though the text did look slightly lighter than that from some other laser printers. The 1300 also printed narrow parallel lines distinctly. Getting the printer running was easy even without HP's cartoonish setup poster--we just plugged it in and dropped the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The on-screen documentation provides great detail on everything else about the printer.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It prints good most of the time.

Weaknesses: HP really needs to improve the paper tray, it doesn't matter if I manual feed or use the paper tray, prints come out slanted 99% of the time.

Overall Evaluation: I used to like HP products very much, but now it seems that the qualities of the HP printers have lowered, especially the paper tray. I think I will look at other brands which are sold at a much more reasonable price, before I consider buying a HP printer again.
