Re: In the Universe of Printers, One Worth Talking About
#2I have a HP printer in the same series as this one and I can verify that it is rock solid in build-quality, reliability, and in producing fast clean black prints.
If you don't print often, or rarely print in color I would strongly recommend a laser printer (and just go to a print shop for the color prints). They are just so much more reliable. http://ask.metafilter.com/78830/Inkjet-or-laser-printer-for-...

#4Hopefully 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.

#5I had a number of ink jets and the ink cartridges literally dried out before I could print many pages, mostly due to the infrequency of my printing. I finally switched over to black and white laser and won't look back. Toner seems to last MUCH longer.

My hp inkjet has empty cartridges after 14 print jobs of a page or two since the last refill. The firmware on this one is so crappy that it's turned me off of hp printers for good. (And I've had them since the deskwriter era).
Lasers, on the other hand. Cheap and effective. I've got a Brother that's normally $80 at NewEgg/Amazon. The toner lasts 20% longer than advertised, it's fast, and it's never asked me to accept an EULA. I'd buy another one, but I don't expect to need another laser till well after this is discontinued.

#7The 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.

The article explicitly mentions that the cartridge is $78 and gets 2,000 pages.

#9The 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].

Our first toner cartridge lasted 6 years.
