What You Should Know about the Laserjet 3030 All-In-One Printer (14 PPM, 1200x1200 DPI, B&W, 32MB, PC/Mac)

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

User Reviews for HP Laserjet 3030 All-In-One Printer (14 PPM, 1200x1200 DPI, B&W, 32MB, PC/Mac)

    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!).
