Macs Need Driver v1.0.6 |
This P1006 is a compact, speedy printer suited for personal or light office use. It's working fine with our iMac Intel Core2Duo (White model) running OS X 10.4.
Macintosh users: If your P1006 comes with HP installation disc v4.0 or lower, DO NOT use the disc. Go to HP's web site instead and download and install their latest P1006 Mac driver, which is now version 1.0.6 (release date July 9, 2008). Version 1.0.6 adds OS X 10.5 support (according to the documentation, I'm not running 10.5) and fixes the frustrating Microsoft Office 2004 printing bug, which I personally experienced. When I first got my P1006, I installed the buggy driver from the HP installation disc v4.0. Afterwards, whenever I tried to print (using Command-P) from Word 2004 or Excel 2004, the printer would constantly error out, which was getting infuriating. However, after installing the v1.0.6 driver, the printing problem went away. Phew!
Pros:
Fast startup time
Fast printing
Inexpensive
On/Off button on the front of the printer
Cons:
Smaller toner capacity than predecessor LaserJet 1012, 1020 models, as noted by others.
Installation disc that comes with the printer has outdated, buggy drivers. |

Practical and Affordable |

I just puchased this printer from Best Buy, replacing a Canon Inkjet model. I am using it with an Intel-based Mac with Leopard installed- no software problems yet, however, I have not yet printed from Office. The Canon was a great printer, but being a graduate student, it was not very economical for my needs: printing multiple black/white research papers- usually in PDF format. This printer is much faster and cheaper for my printing needs and the quality of documents seems a bit sharper and definitely more consistent than I had with the inkjet. The printer has a small footprint, however, the paper must be loaded from the bottom and it would take up even less space if loaded either from the top back or other orientation....it would also be nice if upgrades were available for this printer: extended loading tray capacity, wireless networking, and possibly automatic double-sided printing or stapling. For the price, it's clear why these features weren't included...but this printer could find a successful niche as a base model, if upgrades and expandability were offered. |

Does not work well with macs |
|
I was using this printer with mac os 10.5; the printer refused to print documents from iwork or office 04. Eventually I found documentation from the problem on the hp website (the problem seems to have been caused by buggy drivers). I felt like I was using windows 95 all over again. The toner cartridges are advertised for 1500 pages, but I never got so far. Maybe windows users have better luck. |

HP printers used to be wonderful |
|
I own 6 HP laserjet printers. I have had HP printers since 1984. I will not purchase HP printers in the future because their technical support is so bad. My last experience with HP nonsupport wasted an hour and ended with them trying to sell me a new printer. I was able to solve my problem by purchasing a parallel connector PCI card from amazon. The experience still cost me $49 plus tax even though HP did not solve my problem. |

Horrendous... |
|
Bought this printer because I wanted a small laserjet for home use. I immediately started having problems with it. It would print a job, then inexplicably die out. Sometimes the power would automatically turn off, other times print orders would just pile up in the queue without ever being printed. I tried downloading software drivers from HP's support--to no avail. Actually made it worse. It now refuses to print anything. I was attracted to its size and speed...but it seems to be very poorly designed. Do not waste your time and money. |
