Gabriel Every year we rotate out about 250 printers of a total around 700 printers. That means we are on a three year rotation schedule. The batch going out this year is some pitiful Brother printers that are only one and one-half to two years old. The ones we are keeping past their rotation time are some HP1012 and 1022 printers that have performed flawlessly. Their replacements are these 1505s. These printers are simply well-suited to their jobs. They are shared at every installation where we use them. They have been fault free so far and most likely will be if they mirror our experience over the last 20 years with HP printers. They are not network printers or meant for heavy production use. For that you have to expect to spend a few more dollars. Based on our experience here with these printers I bought one for home and it is performing flawlessly. I would recommend this printer to anyone who needs an everyday, reliable, easy on the combustibles printer. 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Nice replacement for 1022/1022N By MJ I have bought several 1505's and 1505N's and overall had a great experience with them. They are the replacement entry-level Laser monochrome printer for the 1022/1022N. I like them better because they print faster than 1022 (in my experience) and have a power button on the front. I did receive a bad 1505 but I emailed Amazon and they overnighted me a new printer and emailed me a pre-paid RMA label. Couldn't have been easier - Amazon rocks! Great little printer! (If you need something a little heftier with HP, I would look at the LJ1320 and so on...) 30 of 35 people found the following review helpful. Do NOT buy this printer to use with a Mac, unless you're in the market for a lot of frustration! By Technophile HP claims this printer is compatible with Mac OSX. Don't believe it. There are major problems printing from Word on a Mac, a problem of which HP is fully aware but claims that downloading the latest version of the driver from their website will fix it. In my recent and very frustrating experience (3 calls so far to HP Tech Support), it does not. My Laserjet is still not performing consistently (sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it print horizontal lines instead of text), &, having exhausted all the "fixes" HP is able to provide, I'm about to ship it back to Amazon.

Most helpful customer reviews 59 of 61 people found the following review helpful. A good economical choice By J. Marren This is a quick, quiet machine, and so far it works for me. A relatively new model, I was told it was the replacement for the 1020, but I'm not sure that's the case. In any event, it is extremely simple to set up and operate, and it doesn't take up much space. It's a big improvement over my inkjet, an HP deskjet 960c. I figure my cost is about 5 cents a page. So far, highly recommended. UPDATE: 10/25/07 Over a year later, this little no-frills printer is cranking away as problem-free as when I just set it up. I'm a teacher and give it a pretty regular workout each week--easily 100-150 copies. I can't be sure, but I think I paid more than what it's selling for now. If and when it wears out, I'd buy the same model in a flash. Great value for the money. 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful. Excellent, inexpensive, but... By Jesse Liberty Excellent printer, very inexpensive, set up in 3 minutes, runs like a champ, very quiet, almost jam-proof, quiet small. The only wrinkle is in the small print: you need a USB printer cable (does not come in the box) and if you don't own one, be prepared to trot out to your local Staples to buy one if you want to use this puppy. Other than that minor annoyance, I remain very impressed that a printer I would have expected to pay $1,000 for just a few years ago can be had for so little, and in such a small package today. Pros: price, speed, quality, simplicity, size Cons: no cable included, holds only ~150 sheets in tray Price/Performance - about as good as it gets. 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Highly impressed....up to now By Anonym vn I am impressed by the performance of this machine, for the following reasons: - easy to set up; - very quiet; - prints smoothly; - manual duplex printing is a breeze; - compared to my previous HP laser purchased some years ago that often got paper jam, this one is a real improvement.

It prints documents as large as 11 x 17 inches (ledger-size), and can reach print speeds of up to 35 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 28 ppm in full color*. Printing is not only fast with the MFC-6890CDW, but it's also incredibly accurate. You get professional print quality at resolutions as high as 6000 x 1200 dpi (vertical x horizontal resolution) for image-rich documents, presentations, signs, business reports and vivid, borderless photos. (*Please note: PPM speed excludes time to feed the first page and will vary depending on a variety of factors.) When you need copies, the MFC-6890CDW will deliver them at a brisk rate of up to 23 copies per minute (cpm) in black or 20 cpm in full color. Thanks to the printer's 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), you can take on large-scale jobs without having to feed paper manually. And the high-capacity dual paper trays hold up to 350 sheets, so you spend less time restocking paper. For added convenience, you can keep ledger paper in one tray and letter or legal in the other -- eliminating the need to load and unload paper for different applications. The MFC-6890CDW scans documents with incredible accuracy at optical resolutions as high as 1200 x 2400 dpi and interpolated resolutions up to 19,200 dpi.

Easy-to-Load Economical Four-Cartridge Ink System The MFC-6890CDW uses four separate ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow), so you only need to replace the cartridge that is depleted. This represents a significant advantage when compared to cartridges that house multiple colors and need to be thrown away when the first color runs out. A front-loading compartment makes it easy to access and change cartridges. The MFC-6890CDW uses either standard or high yield ink cartridges. High yield cartridges contribute to a lower cost per page and total cost of ownership. Durable Design for Busy Offices The MFC-6890CDW is the ideal choice for busy offices that need a multi-function machine built for consistent, reliable performance. Thanks to its unique design--a maching capable of printing and scanning up to ledger-size documents, yet still measuring just 21.3 x 19.2 x 12.7 inches (HxWxD) and weighing only 34.4 pounds--it delivers maximum performance in a footprint well suited for small offices or workgroups.

Most helpful customer reviews 63 of 64 people found the following review helpful. Great features, great function, one caveat... By R. Phillips This is a large printer with lots of features that work well. I set this up on the wireless function to operate with my Mac. It only took one setup and I've experienced no problems with the range, which I did experience on my HP initially. Sending documents to print is a fast and easy task. It has an easy to use and good looking large touchscreen to take you through each menu. This is great and time saving when compared with other printers. Having the ability to print ledger photos without going to a printer store is fantastic and I used it to make several posters for our portfolio. Now to the caveat, big or small depending on your needs. The print quality is not nearly as good as the HP. It's comparable to other brands, very similar to what Lexmark puts out, but could not compare in color quality to my HP. Yesterday, I needed to print out a color chart for our business products and I did a couple on the normal settings on my HP Then my ink got low so I switched over to the Brother to make a couple on there. I decided to put it on the best quality settings because I wanted the colors to be very vibrant. It takes a good bit of time to print on the high quality setting so I was expecting a lot and was very disappointed when it was finished. The colors looked washed out or a bit faded when held side by side to what I had just printed on the HP and took 3 times as long to print. I took it without saying which was which and showed it to my husband who pointed to the HP document and said that it was so much better and that there was no comparison. As far as my color chart, the HP was very usable and the Brother not at all. To be fair, the Brother has settings for its color printer that you can manually enter. I'm just not adept enough to do that, to know which settings to set the colors on. But as far as default printing, you won't get top quality photo printing, you will get adequate printing So, the bottom line is if you need high quality color printing, then this might not be the right printer for you. But if you are an occasional photo printer or primarily use it for office or business documents where vibrant color quality is not required, then this is a great, easy to use multi-function printer and you should give it a try. 32 of 32 people found the following review helpful. Good for a specialized purpose By Gary Washer After using this printer's predecessor (MFC-6490CW) for over a year, I can offer the following: My requirements are very specific. I need ledger-size (11x17) scanning and printing...period. Just try to find an AIO at this price that will do that (unless you want to pay $600+?) Most of my documents are B&W, some with a small amount of color highlighting, and this printer works flawlessly for that purpose. For color photos, make sure you use photo paper or the color is so washed out even at the custom maxed-out settings that I don't bother printing photos on plain paper The automatic document feeder, ADF, is somewhat flakey and skews the paper a bit too much for my finiky demands so I just limit myself to using the glass-top surface for most scanning. I love the scan-to-file feature that doesn't require input from the PC and allows several file formats as the default, including PDF. If you are not picky about the document skewing of the ADF, this printer will scan a stack of originals and place the entire set into a single multi-page PDF file if you desire. This printer uses replaceable ink "tanks" instead of ink/head cartridges and this makes it much easier to manage and refill if you choose. The printer asks if you have installed a new tank and then takes your word for it, unlike the HP I used previously that insisted on reporting an out-of-ink condition even after refilling.

Allen I have only ever owned color ink jet printers such as Epson and Brother, but I must say, for Laser printing, HP takes the cake. I do own the HP LaserJet 4 Plus (Monochrome B/W) and it has worked great for me for 6 years plus. This new machine is definitely a major improvement. First off, it is very easy to set up and you can choose whether to have it run off of a USB port, or you can network it through your system. I personally have it connected to my Wireless D-Link router and I have 2 Windows PCs, 1 Toshiba wireless Laptop, and 2 Wireless Macs networked and ALL of them are able to pick up the HP with the provided HP software disk and all are able to print from it. It also prints so fast and is remarkably quiet. It is a monster of a machine in size (be prepared to have a nice big space for it, both in heighth, width and length - it is (WxLxH) 1800" x 16.00" x 15.00" but remember, you need room to feed the front of it, and you need room for the wires in back). It takes 4 different cartridges (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black - CMYK) so this can be costly. The cartridges run about $80 each, so it costs $320 to replace all of them, HOWEVER, they last for a whopping 2500 pages each color. It would take 5 ink cartridges of each color to last that long. And when the toner is low, you get a warning. You can even view the printer on a network from any connected computer and see EXACTLY how many pages are left for each cartridge (based on averages). The Bad: I'll try not and leave a bad comment about this as the final thing to say, however, it is quite lousy as a paper feeder. I may be doing something wrong, but I've found that you can only print one piece of paper at a time. Sometimes I print out a lot of stuff on one-side of the paper, then, when I'm done looking at it, I turn the paper over, place those in the manual feeder, then use the paper again to do more printing on the other blank side You can't really do that with this. And as far as printing Business Cards, or Cardstock, it is not the best. You can't simply lay the paper on the tray and then have the printer print from it. You have to insert the paper in a special way, wait for the printer to "suck" the paper in, then once it has it, it is able to print. It did print generic Avery labels okay though. All in all, it is great. Oh, and there's one astounding point that I forgot to make: it prints on both sides WITHOUT having to change paper around or anything, called duplexing (sorry, I didn't know these terms before). For example, I had a 14-page document to print out, so I just went to the 'Finishing' tab and selected 'Print on Both Sides' and wahlah, it printed 7 pieces of paper, two-sided absolutely flawlessly, without having to touch or insert anything I eventually printed 200 double-sided brochures on shiny color magazine type paper, and the printing was perfect. If you don't need to have this printer on a network, and you don't need duplex (double-sided) printing, get the much cheaper HP 1600 Color Laser. Otherwise, for a color laser printer under $500 to be able to be networked and duplex among other things, it is really a great deal all around, thus, it gets 4 stars. I did have to deduct one star for the bad paper feeder, but aside from that, it's superb. Get yours now - the cartridges are already in it and full-sized (not sample cartridges), so it is ready to go. You may need a Network cable, but it does come with a USB 2.0 cable just in case you don't have one. Enjoy and thank you for reading 119 of 123 people found the following review helpful. Great upgrade from the 2600n By Daniel Peterson I had been looking around for a color laser printer to replace my trusty old Laserjet IV. I've gotten really used to duplexing at work, and really wanted to have that option.

Excellent quality, good speed, the installation went smoothly. Unfortunately, no matter what I do mangles # 10 envelopes pass through the manual feeder. I think I've tried all the relevant settings in the driver thick, including envelopes, envelope thin, thick envelope, etc. Each bag comes out badly wrinkled. Envelopes are ordinary Staples # 10s, I used a Laserjet5 without too much trouble for years (the heat that the printer does not insert the flap a little, 'but only slightly. I'm talking about the return of Brother HL-5240. The online FAQ Brother seems to be completely useless because mostly repeat instruction book for the insertion of the envelopes. Anyone have ideas on getting around this? Are there special envelopes that will work? If you don't need envelopes, I'd give this **** or maybe even ***** based on just a few hours use For envelopes, it doesn't even rate one star, and that makes me nervous about the overall quality. **UPDATE***: I've managed to get at least some envelopes to print cleanly. Thanks to the comments posted by John Bissel on the HL-5250, as those led me in the right direction. Anyway, what's worked for me is: * Office Depot sells some #10 envelopes under their own brand name that are specifically listed as working with laser and inkjet printers. I found those wrinkle a lot less than the many other #10s I tried. * Use the com-10 size and envelope-thin media. * Here's the tricky part. Those two fixes get you close, but there's still a bit of a wrinkle on the trailing edge. Thanks to Mr. Bissel, I found the secret pressure release flippers in the back of the printer. Yes they are documented. No, they are not mentioned under envelopes, or in the general guides to the printers features No they're not in the printed documentation. You have to go into the PDF user guide that gets installed along with the printer (use the Windows Start/Programs to find it). Then you have to look in the troubleshooting section under crinkled pages or some such. Then you find the flippers. It warns you to fip them up only for envelopes, then down, which would be a huge hassel. Like Mr. Bissel, I've had fine luck leaving them up all the time. Perhaps my output on regular pages is a tad less dark. So, now I'm happy. Printer is great. I should say that I sent a query to Brother's email-based support service. They promise response in 1 business day. It's been 4 days, and so far I've heard nothing. 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Personal Laser for Business or Home By B. Hatch We have these on all of our executives desks at work, so the can print documents confidentially They look nice, have a small footprint, are very quiet, and are trouble free. We have far fewer support incidents or erros on these as we do with other laser printers. With their price and performance, we couldn't recommend these highly enough. 46 of 52 people found the following review helpful. First Impressio: easy to use and very fast. By William Lester I bought the Brother HL-5240 Laser Printer the last week of December, 2005. This is my first laser printer, and I wanted something to replace an inkjet printer which became erratic after 25,000 cyles. I'm what I call serious retired, I'm not going to use the printer in business but I do a lot of printing pursuing my hobbies of genealogy, bridge, and photography. I wanted a productive black and white printer mostly for text or line type art work, I do my photo printing on an Epson R1800. My first impression was that setup was a breeze I am running Windows XP Professional in a Hewlett Packard Workstation xw4100 computer. The quick setup sheet led me through what to do, and everything loaded off the single CD furnished with the unit. I understand that if I had Windows XP 64x.

Method2Madness by "Alex", I have this phone for a little over 2 weeks now and have given it a full, and I mean ENTIRE workout. I have a whole series of 28 pounds of paper with different text, graphics, etc, along with 20 color pictures on LaserJet Photo and still impressed with the output. I've done all kinds of copies and send / receive fax probably 10 (through magic jack, no less), as well. All with just one question .... Dang the nasty curls. This thing is just to bend the paper, no matter what kind of paper, no matter what kind of printing. There is also a setting in the setup menu on the device, called "Reduce Paper Curl", which probably reduces the fuser heat, but it makes no difference. The good news is, it is replaceable under warranty! I have suffered on the phone with HP Business Support (very important! You MUST Business Support Call @ 800-334-5144! HP "Total Care" knows nothing about this printer, and just keep transferring you back into their past, and in the same queue ) and was advised that an early batch of these units with fixer that out of specification, the road was to say what fuser is to open access to the back so you can send foam rollers. Supposedly the "new" fixer has orange rolls, and the bad (like mine) have black foam rollers. Another good news is they come with a standard next day onsite warranty. I have a tech coming tomorrow to replace, says bad fuser. Business Support Agent I know if they are not clearly American, was far more knowledge and are ready to default Total Care to help agents. I could understand him better. In the end, a very frustrating experience with the group of non-commercial support gradually developed in a resolution something nice, I will update the release notes tomorrow with the results when you have the drive replaced. I know it will not be able to change the number of stars, but also to curl the issue remains a solid 3.5 to 4 stars. Especially considering that the latest models released without problem loop. *** UPDATE # 1 *** Too nighting fuser for me and the technology will be here between 10 and 4 to install it. The tech site called and told that if I were so inclined, you can try to change yourself, or if that's what I like to deepen, he would like to come and do the swap. I'll check and see when they arrive tomorrow. *** UPDATE *** FINAL Unfortunately, the new fusing unit does not completely solve the problem on paper curl. It seemed to reduce the curl a bit, however. But, I guess Ill live with it. I quote from the site of HP technology was wonderful! He was friendly, efficient and very professional and was very concerned that the merger exchange does not solve the problem that came up a bit, looking at the paper path, to see if the rollers were causing the problem and not the fuser roll. It was, in fact. If it were the paper path, the loop would be in the opposite direction. He gave me his cell phone and told him to give him a call if there is anything you can do to help in the future. In the absence of a painful experience that I had doubts with the Total Care service support, this has been a very good experience. *** *** The END, last update on a whim, decided to enter the menu and reactivate "Less folds," and that the combination of replacement of the fuser, marked useful results. The page is still under the curve, but definitely not as bad as it was, pre-fuser change. 27 of 27 people found this review helpful. Reasons why we would probably not buy again By BBB We purchased this product 4 months ago for our small office The main goal was to allow scanning directly to email so that we could send paperwork to remote staff easily. That functionality in this printer is very good. Then, there are some issues that could cause us to.
