This makes 15 of these I have bought
So far no complaints. A decent basic printer and seems cheap for laser. Didn't want the workers to have color they dry up if not used much and get expensive.

Not happy
I am not happy with this printer! I have bought cheap printers before and they work fine and last awhile. I am upset with HP! When it prints I do get good quality but when it jams....it is rediculous what I have to go through just to finish printing. I actually have to shut down my computer and that still doesn't work. I work in an office and I have a lot of windows open and it is a pain to have to shut down my computer just to print one paper because it jammed!
When a printer runs out of paper normally you can put paper in and then it will feed it and finish the printing process well not this one you have to wait for the message to come up on your screen that says "out of paper" and then click retry. There are times when the message doesn't come up and then I have to restart my computer all over again. Such a pain.

You get what you pay for...
Pros: small and cheap
Cons: expensive to run - unreliable paper feed.

I've owned HP and Brother laser printers since lasers first came out. I guess the old addage is true - you get what you pay for.

The HP1006 is slower than advertised, has a smaller paper tray than advertised, prints approx 1/3 the number of pages per cartridge as advertised. Page for page this is the MOST EXPENSIVE laser I've owned in toner usage alone!

The paper take-up is unreliable. It grabs multiple pages frequently with HP Premium paper, and jams VERY frequently with heavier stock.

It's small. It's (relatively) cheap initially, but I'm sick of buying expensive toner every 400 pages, and sick of clearing it's frequent paper jams. My recommendation? Spend the money to buy a better printer. You'll save yourself frustration and save money on toner in the long run.

stopped working
Pros: easy to use, Performance, value for money
Cons: stopped working

product is less that one year old. when it worked i loved it. so much faster than ink jet printers. however, tonight i tried to print and i found that the power light was not lit. relocating the printer to a known power source did nothing. recently our power went off two or three times. the printer is on a surge protector as is my other ink jet printer and the ink jet printer and everything else in the house is just fine, but this laser printer seems to be dead in the water. i do not know why.

Cost Efficient works w/Vista (all)
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, design, small quick cheap
Cons: does not heat coffee.

I needed this inexpensive printer AND low cost ink cartridge to print everyday medium quality printing (financials). It does what I need and I am pleased.

Not much more to say. It does as advertised, a LOW cost solution to everyday printing needs.

I do tax returns, fiancial statements to customers, not much graphics. It prints photos.

Wish my Lexmark wireless worked this well.

Worst Printer Ever
This is the worst printer I have ever used. It is not for office use. It does not hold enough paper, it prints forms, checks, envelopes, labels, etc. backwords. Yes it was cheap, however you also get CHEAP! All in all it is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does not work with Term Services
The P1006 is a GDI printer (i.e. no built-in intelligence, and requires Windows' graphics engine to convert the page to pixels). GDI printers are designed to operate direct from a PC.

Your chances range from slim to none. Invest in a more expensive printer that suppoprts PCL or PostScript.

Very Good
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, design, quiet

I've never had a problem with this printer. It's quick, can print front & back (manually), does envelopes with ease. Lasers never have an ink-clog problem. This printer works when I need it to and it's fast.

HP Laser Jet P1006
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, design
Cons: performance

I am almost very happy with this purchase and would probably buy again but only at the same price that I paid for the one I have. The one problem I do have with the printer is when I print labels. I use file folder labels that come 30 to a sheet but I only print 3-5 labels at a time, then run the same sheet through for the next couple of labels I need to print and so on. But, everytime I run the sheet of labels through the printer the blank labels get greyer and greyer until I finally end up throwing away several per sheet because they are too dark print on. Other than that it's a great little printer!

Nice Printer, Macs need v1.0.6 driver
Pros: inexpensive, fast startup, fast printing, power button in front
Cons: smaller toner capacity compared to lj1012/1020

This P1006 is a compact, speedy printer suited for personal or light office use. It's working fine with our iMac Core2Duo (White) running OS X 10.4.

Macintosh users: If the printer comes with HP installation disc v4.0 or lower, DO NOT use the disc. Go to HP's web site and download and install the Mac driver version 1.0.6 (release date 7-9-08) instead. Version 1.0.6 adds OS X 10.5 support and fixes the frustrating Microsoft Office 2004 printing bug (where the P1006 would constantly error out when you tried to print from Word or Excel).

We own 3
I am the office manager for a small office and i got this printer first because of the cost. I bought one for another employee and was just clicking on it again to buy yet another when I saw there were 5 reviews. I am so suprised people had problems with it. It is user friendly, easy to install and always reliable for simple printing of word docs and articles off the internet. I just felt I needed to stand up for the little guy. I like my P1006.

Doesn't work with OSX 10.5
After many tries I finally called HP and they flat out told me that they don't have the print drivers for this one and that I should exchange it as They have no idea when they will.

Cons: **

I hate this printer, it is the worst one I have
ever used. It hangs up and constantly has to be reset. I would not ever buy this again. We have had HP printers before and they have been very reliable, this ONE is NOT!! I would like to throw it out the window!

This is my first laser printer. Great printer for the price.

worst printer ever
Pros: it has a brand name
Cons: terrible performance

This printer was terrible. It would lock up at least 5 times during the workday and I would have to go through a 4 step process to reset everything, and maybe, just maybe it would work...but more often than not I'd have to repeat the "fix" process a couple of more times to make things work.

great small printer
this was my first laser printer and I love it. It is small quiet and fast. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to start to have a laser printer but not the high cost.
