  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: 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!).

  Strengths: great text quality

  Weaknesses: paper handling is relatively limited

  Overall: Easy set up. Good choice for home office and small business users. Excellent scanning, faxing, and copying capabilities. Short warm-up time. I got it for $xx after coupon. High-quality printer at an excellent price.

  Strengths: Decent all-in-one abilities, decent print jobs in a reasonable amount of warm-up time, and small footprint.

  Weaknesses: No wireless capabilities and paper tray a bit on the small side.

  Overall: I'm very happy with my purchase. I think the quality of the laser printing is reasonable for the price...especially because it's able to fax/scan/copy/etc. It's good for a small office with a low number of print jobs per day.

  Strengths: Fast Laser Printing, Good Faxing - especially with the top auto-feeding tray, good low print cost per page, 2000 pages on a toner for $70, INCREDIBLY RELIABLE as I use it for Real Estate and business

  Weaknesses: Very few if any, but the paper tray could hold more paper, and maybe a duplex option (I know it's too expensive of an option for HP), and lacks Wireless connectivity (I'm really nit-picking here)

  Overall: This is one of HP's BEST LaserJet All-in-One printers. This was is one of the better most reliable, and high quality printer that they've made in a while. High print quality, good faxing with solid performance. The top tray for loading faxes is really great and I use it to load 70 page Real Estate contracts without having to wait by the machine. You get about 2000+ pages printed on a $70 or cheaper toner cartridge giving you a pretty good low cost per print. This printer DOES NOT have the jamming problems which a lot of the older HP Laserjets do have. It doesn't eat up 3 or 4 sheets of paper at once and it's absolutely a blast because of the faxing, scanning, copying, and laser printing. Simply amazing!
