The article fails to mention that the replacement toner cartridge costs $80. [1] HP claims their toner cartridge yields 2100 pages or about four cents a page. [1] http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Ink_...
From the article:
"You get about 2,000 pages from each $78 cartridge, which isn’t bad."
The Wirecutter[1] is a site that lists the best technology to buy. Like this article, it answers the question, "What is the best ____?". I wonder how the Hewlett-Packard Pro P1606dn competes with the Brother HL-2270DW[2]. [1]: http://thewirecutter.com/ [2]: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/brother-hl-2270dw-best-lase...
Any network printer without some sort of display royally sucks. You cannot easily diagnose communication errors with a couple blinking lights.
Much easier to troubleshoot a complex device if it can actually tell you something. Sometimes trying to coax it to communicate using button gymnastics doesn't work.
Other than that, yeah, HP laserjets are pretty rad.
Not for me: doesn't have wifi, scanner/copier, and color printing.

The HL-2270 was the first printer I had ever felt I needed to evangelize for. It was so good, so cheap, and had just the right features. Printed quick, toner lasted forever, toner was surprisingly cheap ($40 for 4k pages), auto duplex, wireless. Set up and forget about it until you need it.
Hopefully HP has cleaned up their act when it comes to ultra-fine particles[1] ... (or was that paper debunked)? I own a (now 10 years old) HP LaserJet 2100dn, and when I print something out, I can smell it. Maybe it's time to upgrade. [1] http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es063049z?journalCode=es...

Anecdotally: my lab recently got a Brother laser printer. There was an odour after printing so we tried the experiment (using the same air quality equipment). Sure enough, we saw huge UFP peaks.

I gave the old one to my 8-year-old son to disassemble. He demonstrated what finally failed was one of the platens had actually separated from glue holding it to the axle. It was orange foam rubber, still pretty soft, I think it was for post-heating press.
