Most Favorable Review

Decent successor to the DeskJet 9688

HP Officejet 6000 C9295A Up to 32 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet Workgroup Color Printer
HP Officejet 6000 C9295A Up to 32 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet Workgroup Color Printer

Pros: Good price. Using high capacity ink will cost about .02 to .03 a page. Print head is separate, uses 4 individual ink tanks. Setup is similar to 9680/9688; I just plugged it into my router, hit the wireless button on the front of the printer, plugged that IP address into my browser and configured like that. Used downloaded drivers from HP instead of CD it came with. Excellent print quality

Cons: The double sided printing module on the back is a little cumbersome to fasten on correctly. When you set up the printer, give it a good push to make sure it is on correctly or it will try grabbing paper out of the tray for 10 minutes. Does a lot of ink priming and can be on the noisy side. Not obnoxious, but you know it's doing something.

Overall Review: I have three of these currently in the field, so we'll see how the hold up to heavy usage. Will review later down the road.

one year, still going strong

Highly functional

Brother HL Series HL-3075CW Workgroup Up to 19 ppm 600 x 2400 dpi Color Print Quality Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Digital Color LED Printer
Brother HL Series HL-3075CW Workgroup Up to 19 ppm 600 x 2400 dpi Color Print Quality Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Digital Color LED Printer

Pros: Quality 3 in 1, this thing does not feel cheaply made despite the low price. Uses Control Center 3 management software, highly configurable. Ink is inexpensive. Automatic document feeder works well.

Cons: Once in a while I get a phantom printer jam, curable by simply pressing OK. Printing envelopes in humid weather will seal them shut. You can get around this by folding the lip back around the envelope and feeding it in. And also the envelope comes out slightly curled.

Overall Review: You can't beat Brother laser printers for the price.
