  Duration of ownership: 90 Days

  Strengths: Fast good print quality when working

  Weaknesses:Printer feed failure - unable to repair.

  Overall Evaluation: From the start the pinter would pick up multiple pages staggered so that part of page was printed on each sheet. This was occasional but one could not print 30 pages without it happening. Maddenig on a mail merge printout. Spent $28 shipping to Califorina for repair after HOURS on the phone with HP foreign voices that could not be understood. The problem was pretty much fixed but two new ones popped up. In a long print the paper feed would not eject the page on occasion ane we would come back to find it stalled instead of finished. Push the button and another 5 pages would print and stall again. Only on evelopes and photo paper, one blank sheet feeds, then it prints and does not eject, push button and two more blank sheets feed and hang, push button and next page would print with same sequence of blank pages. I cannot trust HP to repair this thing again as I would have $60 invested in repairs of a $200 printer with no guranantee it would work.

  Strengths: We where able to continue using the stock of Ink Cartridges we had for the previous HP2000C printer. Installation and setup was easy.

  Weaknesses:Would not work with Linksys Print Server. We have submitted a trouble ticket with HP and do not have a response.

  Overall Evaluation: We tried to use this printer in conjuntion with the Linksys Print Server and could not get the combination to work. Through troubleshooting with HP & Linksys it seems that the printer is the source of the problem. Switched the Linksys PrintServer with another and it works fine.

  Duration of ownership: 18 Months

  Strengths: great print quality, fast, reliable, no ink clogging, relatively economical ink costs

  Weaknesses:large size, flimsy-feeling construction

  Overall Evaluation: I posted the first part of this review after owning the HP for 9 months. I've just added more information at the end now that I've owned it for 18 months. My opinion after printing 500 pages per month for 18 months: This is a ***GREAT*** printer!This is my third HP inkjet. All have been excellent, and this is by far the best. I've had it nine months and have done a lot of printing. I have every reason to believe that like my old HP 500 and HP 540, the 1100 will give me years of workhorse service ... unlike the Epson I made the mistake of buying to replace the 540. The print quality is exceptional, approaching laser printers in quality. Its large black ink cartridge lasts far longer than any other printer I've owned. For a writer like me, this is crucial. The ink has never clogged. My only complaint is, I suspect, a problem with all color inkjets. Even when set to print with the black cartridge only, it still uses color ink. I have just spent $100 to replace the three color cartridges, despite the fact that I have printed virtually no color. I estimate that the replacement color cartridges will last me nearly two years, so it's not a major expense. My Epson was far worse in this regard. In retrospect, because of the color ink usage, a black and white laser printer might have been a more economical choice in the long run.EDITED 8/9/2005 to add:I've now had this printer for over 1 1/2 years. I print an average of 500 pages per month, mostly B&W. I am amazed at how good it is. The printer has already paid for itself - continuing to use my old Epson would have cost me far more in ink expense than I paid for the HP and the ink it's used. I mentioned in my earlier review that I had to spend $100 on replacement color cartrides, but amazingly, even though the color cartridges all show as empty and I do occasionally print color, I'm still using the original color cartrides.I can't praise this printer highly enough, for its economy, it's outstanding laser-like print quality, and its reliability. I'd buy another without hesitation.

  Strengths: Fast printing. Duplexes. Uses separate print cartridges.

  Weaknesses:Little bit noisy when starting up. Cannot tell how much paper is in tray without lifting output tray.

  Overall Evaluation: Very fast - especially in draft mode. Easy to set up. Print quality is very good with laser-like appearance. Have had approximately 3 weeks with no problems whatsoever. Great printer.

  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: Terrific speed and print quality, especially color

  Weaknesses:Problems printing double sided legal. Very noisy. Consumables expended faster than advertised.

  Overall Evaluation: I like this printer, but will attempt to return it due to problems with double sided legal printing. Used printer for printing a church bulletin, 4 pages set on legal size, folded in the center, double sided. 1st side prints fine. Print 2nd side legal and it will pick up as many as 6 pages at a time, printing no more than 7 pages in a row before screwing up. Have tried several paper grades with same result. Automatic duplexing unit will not work with legal size. Print cartridge life is about 2/3 of published rating. Color and graphics are tremendous, and fast normal printing is very fast with high quality. Price was very reasonable if it had worked correctly.
