What You Should Know about the HP LaserJet 1300

Monochrome Laser Printers Offer Reliability, Value, Variety to Business Users

A monochrome laser printer such as this one is a business basic. While color inkjet and color laser printers involve more complexity and invite higher print costs, monochrome laser printers are reliable, their toner is cheap, and they come in any size, speed, or price range you'd like. Plain-text printing is its forte; it can't manage anything beyond extremely simple graphics.

A monochrome laser prints by using a laser and rotating mirrors to beam an image indirectly onto a photoconducting drum; attracting toner to that image; and then melting the toner at high temperature to transfer the image to paper.

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.
