  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: Print quickly and cleanly.

  Weaknesses:None.

  Overall Evaluation: HP makes excellent printers. The Personal Laserjet 1018 is no exception. Can't beat the price which was under $100 on sale. Normal suggested retail price was $180 which is high in my opinion.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Fast, good.

  Weaknesses:Incompatible with MAC out of the box, no USB cord included

  Overall Evaluation: You will need to do some hacking to get this to work on a MAC. Download these apps at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foo2zjs and install them in the following order: Install espgs Install footamic Install foo2zjs Download sihp1018.img http://download.uhulinux.hu/mirror/http:/foo2zjs.rkkda.com/sihp1018.tar.gz Open up a Terminal.app window and cd to the directory the sihp1018.img file is. Run the following commands: o START -- arm2hpdl sihp1018.img> sihp1018.dl sudo chown root:wheel sihp1018.dl sudo chmod 644 sihp1018.dl sudo mv sihp1018.dl /usr/local/share/foo2zjs/firmware/ o END -- -------last line of code-------> You may need to create the "firmware" folder manually (by revealing hidden files with ONYX) and pasting the sihp1018.dl into it yourself Afterwards use the the "load_Laserjet_firmware_v4.command" file from the "Helpers" directory of the "Install foo2zjs" image. Simple doubleclick on it and it will automatically load the firmware to the printer. You may copy this file to your desktop as you have to load the firmware to the printer every time you switch the printer on. Here is a full forum on the issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5752630&tstart=0 Or buy another printer.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: very simple to setup

  Weaknesses:none

  Overall Evaluation: Some reviewers say the rebate is a scam. You just have to read very carefully. Some of them require you pay retail price. I found one on HP website that said only requirement was to purchase from an authorized dealer. I sent it in and paid a total of twelve dollars for this printer after my rebate. I bought it for my daughter to use for college. Works with Vista. Very easy setup. For the price I can't complain.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Print quality

  Weaknesses:Low number of prints per toner

  Overall Evaluation: This is a very good printer with good quality prints. Number of prints per toner is not good. U can print back to back as well manually. Does not make much noise.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Sorry can't think of one.

  Weaknesses:HP is running a rebate scam.

  Overall Evaluation: HP is using a clause in their rebate form to deny rebates. If you do not pay MSRP, the will say that you got "special pricing" which the rebate excludes. Beware!

This tiny but inexpensive and easy-to-use printer is slower than most personal mono lasers we've tested recently.
