HP LaserJet P1005 Printer – Notable For Your home And Small Office Use
The notable HP LaserJet P1005 printer using HP LaserJet P1005 toner seems to have been designed and manufactured by Hewlett-Packard for the purpose of delivering excellent black-and-white laser printing at a fairly good speed and with a lot of durability to go with typical HP reliability. It comes with a series of simple and intuitive controls and it can be hooked up to most any PC in a variety of ways. This makes it personal, as well as price-competitive.
As far as that print speed, most users will proclaim themselves satisfied with its 14 pages per minute. While not the speediest laser printer on the market (either by price or within segment) most users will be able to come upon typical Hewlett-Packard reliability. Additionally, pages will feed into the printer smoothly and will come out fairly rapidly. In fact, this device just looks nice and competent.
It’s obvious that the 1005 series was intended for mostly personal use on a desktop work area. It connects to a computer via USB or parallel ports, which is still around though most computer users today will prefer to use the very nice USB option rather than the slightly more bulky parallel porting option. The USB cable needs to be purchased separately, though.
For such a compact printer intended mainly for computer-to-printer use, Hewlett-Packard has provided a way for it to be shared among a network through Windows Sharing. All software options, then, will be available to every user on the network. Still, it’s probably the case that this printer will end up on more than a few desktops connected to a single computer rather than a network.
Print resolution is fairly standard when it comes to this particular HP model, coming in at a fairly nice 600 dpi. Resolution can be 1,200 dpi when the Hewlett-Packard image enhancement technology tool is used. As far as what’s better, it would all depend on the application the printer is being used for. For most general business types, 600 dpi ought to fill the bill quite well.
Up to 250 sheets of paper can be stored within its included auto load input tray. The output tray — meaning the tray that holds what the printer has put out — can hold about half that amount. Both trays can handle a variety of different-sized paper and other media stock. It’s no problem to print out on transparencies, business cards, envelopes and certain custom-sized paper stock, as well.
Maximum monthly duty cycle — meaning the maximum number of printed pages per month the printer can image — is a more than acceptable 7,000 pages. For the environment in which the printer is intended to operate (small office/home office or very small network), this duty cycle should be more than adequate. After 7,000 pages, minor maintenance would be required, but it is really just very minor in character.
In all, there’s a lot to like about the HP LaserJet P1005 printer series. It combines a nice price (listed at $167) that brings one a printer that can be easily connected to most any personal computer and will run off of a variety of Windows-based operating systems. It’s also durable and delivers excellent print product at a decent rate of speed sufficient for probably most home office or small office uses.
The appearance of the end product is where the HP LaserJet P1005 toner cartridge shines. As should be obvious with Hewlett-Packard’s reputation, their standard of quality extends to HP laser toner. Owners everywhere will appreciate the cost savings of ordering cartridge toner online.
