HP LaserJet 2840

Pros: Print quality, speed, software, everything

Cons: Took a little while to unpack as well packaged

Review: I would never buy another manufactured printer. This printer is absolutely amazing. The first thing you notice is the print quality. The next thing is how good the software package is. Truly exceptional printer at an astonishing ...

Pros: Quality of output, speed, features.

Cons: Only wish it had built-in wireless!

Review: I acquired and installed one of these for a client of mine whose monthly color duty cycle was about 400~500 pages. Inkjets were beating her up costwise. Some folks complain that they will spend more on the carts versus the initial cost of the printer. ...

Pros: Is an all in 1 Printer and works well while it works.

Cons: Scanner Software stops after a while requiring reinstall, fax doesn't work overseas, expensive toner.

The Bottom Line: If you don't need a scanner, this is a robust printer and fax, but the toner is expensive.

Review: This printer is like most HP equipment, well built and solid. All functions work pretty well, but color printing is slower than quoted and it is noisy. Having a machine that does printing, copying, faxing and scanning is great, in theory, the problem ...

Pros: Print quality, Scan feed & simple networking setup

Cons: Extremely expensive ink and imaging drum. Bloated software package... Multiple All-In-One Problem

The Bottom Line: Great print quality, but expensive ink & imaging drum. Good for single printer use, but software fails with multiple models.

Review: We purchased this model for one of our branch offices a year ago. I set it up as a network install, and the physical installation of the machine was easy. If you have read any of my other reviews, I try not to get into every function, like a manual or ...

Pros: print quality

Cons: ink too expensive, somewhat noisy, doesn't scan so easily

The Bottom Line: Good but there are better choices

Review: I bought this all-in-one for my home office as I have large volume of printing for several types of businesses I run. Not that it's slow, but it doesn't print as fast I thought it would. It also often "callibrates" out of the blue which is somewhat ...

Pros: Fast printing, good print quality.

Cons: Expensive supplies, too loud.

The Bottom Line: If you plan to print mostly black and white with the occasional color print job, this machine would be nice for you.

Review: First, let me point out that this laser printer is huge! Now that that is out of the way... The print quality is fantastic and the scanner is very efficient. I can scan color or BW pages very quickly and with very nice clarity. The printer works very ...

Pros: Easy set up. Networked via ethernet to wireless router with no problem.

Cons: Color printing is horrible. Saturation askew; contrast off; midtones/highlight/shadows are way whacked!

The Bottom Line: Avoid It Unless You're Color Blind!!!

Review: I bought this to try to consolidate and update all of my office equipment (color laser / fax / B&W laser / scanner). After owning a Konica Minolta 2300W and being pleased with its color printing, if not totally pleased with the machine overall, I felt ...

Pros: I can't think of any.

Cons: Heart attack material!

Review: This printer give problems from the moment that you install it. The software is huge and not user friendly. Trying to get help from HP is also a problem with this printer. There are much more user friendly printers out ...

Pros: usb connection? Not much on the pro side

Cons: loud, functions don't work properly

The Bottom Line: look elsewhere.

Review: One of the big reasons I bought this printer was because it allowed me to copy a document into an email or folder as a pdf right from the printer. This function occassionally, doesn't work at random times, and wastes more time than it was supposed to ...

Pros: aesthetics

Cons: critical bugs, poor quality color printing

The Bottom Line: Not recommended: critical bugs and poor color-printing quality.

Review: I do not recommend this product. I encountered too many critical bugs. Many forums suggest this is a Vista OS compatibility issue. My system: Dell XPS laptop, Windows Vista (32-bit) OS, wireless network. No problems with my previous laser printer and ...

Pros: it works

Cons: NOISY. ENORMOUS. WILL COST YOU A FORTUNE TO USE (IMAGE DRUM $200@ TONER). AVOID.

Review: It takes a long time to warm up. It's by far the noisiest printer I've ever owned. Even when not in use it will calibrate itself periodically, and is loud enough to hear in the next room. It's enormous. And it is extremely expensive...
