By: MeThe firmware seems pretty buggy. We’ve had several different problems with the printer crashing. Every couple days or so we get a “Service Error” message on the screen and the printer has to be rebooted. Also, I tried printing a large (1000 page) pdf on it and it would just freeze after printing around 140 pages. It froze twice on the exact same number of pages. I had to break it up into print jobs of 100 pages each. We’ve also seen where it gets in an infinite cycle where it says, “Processing Job” and the data light blinks, but nothing ever comes out. Again, it requires a reboot. We upgraded the firmware, but the problems didn’t go away.
FYI, a parallel port doesn’t seem to deliver data fast enough to this printer! It consumes data faster than the port can send it. We could only achieve the 45ppm when we hooked it up to the USB 2.0 port. Not sure about the performance when using HP JetDirect internal print server.

This printer is ridiculously fast. We use one as a network printer and I have not been able to walk the 30 feet from my office to the printer before it has finished printing 3 or 4 page PDFs, emails, etc. This printer is faster than our photocopier. 1200×1200 dpi gives excellent detail.

We have had one of these printers now for more than a year and have yet to have the first problem with it. It prints fast and even at lower resolutions the print quality is still excellent. I am currently getting ready to purchase another one.
So far we have had no problems with this printer and hope that it stays that way. Ii would gladly recommend it to others.
