Accessories

Good value, good quality, completely satisfied
I have had the printer for nearly a year and use it for personal use. I have been impressed with it overall from a reliability, maintainability, quality, and speed perspective. It meets all my needs and I have not had a single issue with it. I plan to buy another one from Costco for $189 since it costs that much for the toner cartridges themselves...then I have a spare printer as well.

Great-took a while to get
Maybe because of the price we had to wait longer, but it was worth it. Works fine and the right price.

yellow toner review
The toner worked perfectly, as expected. I am a designer and only use genuine inks and toners. I can't take a chance with the quality of my work. However, it took much longer to receive it than I anticipated. I didn't notice the delayed delivery date until after I paid for it. In hindsight, I would probably spend the few extra bucks and buy it locally.

Correction on cartridges
The HP1600 ships with starter cartridges. Definitely not a good value.

The 2600 and 2605 models ship with full cartridges. Yes, replacement set of all four is equal to or exceed price of a new printer. Keep an eye out for specials at the big box office stores; Ive seen the 2605dn go for as little as $300.

I have both 2600n and 2605dn. The built-in networking works like a charm, though be sure to get the latest firmware and software updates. For the little bit extra money, the 2605dn is the better way to go. Much faster, built in duplexing, can accept extra printer RAM (which I installed very easily).

Could have bought a new printer for the price of a set of toner cartridges
I purchased a complete set of 4 toner cartridges for my HP 2600N Color Laser Printer. Looking around at several stores, the Laserjet 1600 was available for less than the cost of a set of catriges. The 2600N Could be purchased for about the same price. I checked with the vendors and both printers ship with FULL CAPACITY toner cartridges, not starter cartridges.

I realize this is how HP makes a ton of profits, but it's time to reprice the toner cartriges to a realistic level. Are these HP printer becoming disposable items....Enough said!
