To me, these printers are one of the indications that HP no longer produces the quality product that they used to. Personally, I just don't feel that HP produces a decent lower end printer anymore. Sure, some of their higher end stuff might still be decent, but the things in the lines of the 2015's and the 2420's just have not impressed me at all, and certainly aren't good enough to justify the premium you seem to have to pay for hp products and supplies. And ever since Vista came out (which we largely avoided anyways thankfully), I don't feel that their driver support has been all that great either. (And god forbid if you have one of those 1010 or 1012 printers where the driver likes to screw up and kill the print spooler). Personally, we've largely gone with Dell's, especially for the personal printers in peoples offices, generally the 2330dn's. I have to admit I'm not sold on the longevity of the machines, but that seems to be true of any printer in that price range. > For mass consumption we have LaserJet 4350 (B&W) and LaserJet 4550 (color) > Plotters DesignJet 5500 I do agree though that the larger volume HP printers still generally seem to be fairly decent printers. > Support has also been above average. > > > > > Kramer, Jack wrote: >> I actually prefer Brother laser printers - their consumable costs are much >> lower than HP units, as well as being cheaper up front.
