Summary: The machine counter for how much toner is left is flawed because will reduce the number down regardless of which color is used. When the toner quantity meter reaches zero it says time to replace the toner, except there is still plenty of toner usually. To avoid this waste you must manually turn on the over-ride.

I was very pleased with all B&W printing (charts and texted), but the color prints were sometimes a bit off from the colors on the monitor. Overall I was pleased considering the cost ($299 from OfficeMax), but I had problems with the printer drivers.

The print drivers have frozen up on me a few times. I spent literally 2 hours trying to reach tech support a couple days ago. Tech support is then routed to some foreign country and of course I could not understand the girl and I felt bad to tell her I need someone else because it was taking forever to assist me because of the language barrier. I did get fed up and after having the machine for only 4 weeks I did return it (luckily OfficeMax was eager to please by accepting the model back).

I was using the machine for my home office, At my work office I have been using a 3000cn from Dell. This machine is something to check out. Why I didn't get another for my house was just dumb (I was trying to save a measly $50). And their tech support can't be beat and is easily reached plus the toners are a hell of alot cheaper (black is about $20 less and rated for 4000 prints compared to 2500 with 2600n)(color toners are about the same cost but rated for 4000 prints compared to 2000 with the 2600n).

Summary: I bought this printer to print promotional materials for my business and I have been very happy. Sure it isn't the greatest printer for a big business, or for personal photo printing, but it is great at what it was designed for. It is excellent for smaller business that want to print color, but not buy ink everyday. The built-in networking is also a great feature not usually found at this price point.

On a related note, I recommend the Hammermill OfficeOne Business Gloss paper for this printer. It is an excellent combination for promotional materials. The color looks great on it, and it is much cheaper than regular gloss.

Summary: For the price that I purchased from Office Depot is unbeatable Price $260. No other HP color laser jet have this price. The printing result isn't bad. Build in nic is another good things about this printer. You don't need to buy another ethernet to hood up into network. For home or light printing job is fine. Not a good printer to print huge of printing.
