"HP 1020 Laserjet"
I am very impressed with this printer. I have had a laserjet 1012 before and it lasted for three years but we got the life out of it with all the printing we have done over the years.
A normal printer for our home office would not last no more than 14K pages. This one will give us that and then some but not by much.
The cartridges are good to have for the printer. It is fast and reliable to use.


"DO NOT BUY ANY HEWLETT PACKARD PRODUCT!!!"
I just want to warn any unsuspecting person against purchasing any HP product. They do not honor their warranties and if you attempt to resolve it with their customer no-service you will be plunged into a maze of lies, deceptions, diversions and tag team obfuscation. They have overseas customer no-service and it appears the company policy is to wear the customer down so they eventually give up and go away. I don't know how much longer HP will be able to remain a viable business with the set up they have now. Please heed my warning. STAY AWAY FROM HEWLETT PACKARD!!!

"Does what it is supposed to"
I finally retired my decade old HP 5 -- a printer that weighed 40 pounds and had lots of gravitas and cost $1,000 in today's dollars. I replaced it with the 12 pound HP 1022 -- which seems flimsy in comparison.

The 1022 does everything it is supposed to -- it is faster to print, much faster to warm up, prints envelopes, etc.

My only complaint is that the paper roller feeders "torque" the paper slightly -- which I noticed printing return address labels and Quicken checks in which the print lines are not quite parallel to the edge of the paper.

If you are printing out, say, a Word document you don't even notice that it is slightly canted. This is, I guess, the price you pay for something that is faster and more lightweight. I've gotten over having my checks look not quite perfect, but if you are really fussy you should buy a printer in the $300 range. You are just not going to get perfection in this price range. I suspect all the small cheaper printers do this as they have fewer rollers pulling the paper in -- and are yanking it in much faster than the old style printers.

I also suspect, due to the size and weight of the toner cartidges, that you get less than half the copies from a given cartridge compared to the HP 5. Clearly HP sells the printer at cost or a loss so they can sell you $80.00 toner cartridges with 400% markups, following Mr. Gillette's marketing advice from 1912.

All in all, it works fine. My wife has one as well, and she likes it.

"Awesome printer!!!"
I bought this for my IMac, almost hesitated because of mixed reviews, but I'm glad I did! It's easy to install, works seamlessly with Airport and my other Mac's ( Macbook and Mac Mini ) recognized it almost immediately after enabling Bluetooth. Performance-wise, this little printer is one speed demon! It will print a full text page before you can even say Laserjet 1022!!!! Buy it!!!!!

"I lover it!"
It's clean, clear, compact and easy. I don't want any more from a machine than that. I'd buy another one in a minute.
