I purchased this printer from a sweet deal at officedepot. It was sold at 74.99 tax. I used some coupon and there was a bundle rebate from HP, which actually cost me only about $20 for this printer.
This is a very fast small laser printer. I have used many HP printers in the past and they were always very slow starting to print. I was surprised the first time I used this one. The price was great.
some negative I can find is, due to the small size of the printer, the toner cartridge is quite small. For home use this should not be a problem. However, I bought it to use in a political campaign. Luckily the campaign only has slightly over a month to go so the small cartridge should not be a problem. In a longer campaign I would probably be replacing the toner too often.
This printer is easy to setup and install software and print fast with high resolution. However, it is not convenient when printing thick paper like envelope, compared with my former HP Laserjet 6L. For the 6L, when print-envelope job is sent, the printer waits for me to put in an envelope, and the printing will start only when I push the "start button". There is no start button in the P1006, and I need to go to printer setup window to setup envelope printing and place an envelope in the tray before the print-evelope job is sent. After printing the envelope, I need to reset the print for ordinary printing. This is very inconvenient. Also for the 6L, I can let the envelope bend through about only 130 deg from input to output and the envelope comes out nearly unbent. With the P1006, everything has to bend 360 deg from input to output. The envelope after bending such large angle need to be flattened after printing. Also the toner is much more expensive than that for the 6L. Although they cost roughly the same, that for the 6L can print 2500 pages, but that for the P1006 is much smaller and can print only 1500 pages. To me, the only good point for the P1006 is its fast printing rate and low price of $90 at Amazon.com. Besides that everything is not as good as the 6L. It is too bad that the fuse roller of my 6L is broken and it cost $70 to $100 or more to repair.
