HP LASERJET 1012
Average User Rating: ![]()
Advantages: The LaserJet 1012 is half the size of most laser printers
and also sports a small price. Crisp, clear text. Easy set-up. Warms up in
only 10 seconds, and spits out 15 pages per minute. Generally trouble-free.
Drawbacks: The LaserJet 1012 has only one paper tray, so
you will have to manually change between letter and legal size paper. The
tray is small compared to office-duty models, and only holds 150 sheets. As
with most printers, the needed USB cable is not included. Book readers and
underliners will lament the lack of a paper manual, but there is an adequate
user 200+ page user guide in PDF format on CDROM. USB only, no parallel port.
Does not work with Linux operating systems.
