Putting the HP LaserJet P1006 printer to work reveals to even a casual user that Hewlett-Packard is serious about offering a printer at almost every price point and with capabilities often found in a printer in the next rank above the printer in question. It features a low price, at $125, nice print speed and print quality to match with HP LaserJet P1006 toner. In short, for that $125 one is getting a good product.
This black-and-white laser printer puts forth a great many features for the price, it has to be said. In fact, it's difficult to feature how the typical small office or home office entrepreneur won't pause for at least a minute to consider maybe giving it a try. Most start-up operations could do worse than to give the P1006 a try, especially considering the difficulty many businesses are experiencing because of economic circumstances.
When it comes to the printer's ability to print out at a relatively high rate of speed, this HP model will do well enough at 17 pages per minute. Considering its price, this is actually quite impressive. Print speeds always vary according to the depth and richness of any print product, so don't be surprised if the speed is either greater or lesser than advertised performance.
In terms of the printer's physical characteristics, the LaserJet 1006 is equally impressive. For one, it weighs only around 10.5 pounds and is fairly compact in size. It'll be able to fit nicely on most any desktop, working quietly and doing everything that it's asked in a competent and non-stressed manner. HP seems to have put extra effort into ensuring it will be able to function competently across a wide variety of functions.
Print quality issuing forth from the LaserJet P1006 will be excellent at 1,200 by 1,200 dots per inch of resolution. In fact, most other printers against which this printer competes don't usually come with such print resolution, offering instead 600 dots per inch. It delivers quality printing through use of an included HP image enhancement technology suite.
Connectivity is handled through use of a USB port, although there's no included USB cable, so remember to pick one up before leaving the store. Given it's low price, it really isn't all that big a concern to spend a few more dollars on a basic cable. Once plugged into the computer, it will quickly begin to begin to set up the software and drivers needed to power the printer quite easily in fairly short order.
The printer supplies 8 MB of memory, though it will make good use of a computer's own processing capabilities to handle most of its task work. It'll do so fairly quickly with a 266 MHz processor that keep things humming along smoothly and with no drama. It can also hold 160 sheets of paper, with 150 of those sitting in a single input tray and 10 in a custom input slot. It runs off most Windows-based OS, as well as a Mac operating system or two.
When it comes to reliability and durability, the HP LaserJet P1006 printer meets every expectation you would have with Hewlett-Packard. Durability is backed up by virtue of its 5,000 page per month duty cycle, and it's a rare occasion indeed if it'll ever need more than regular or scheduled maintenance. After taking stock of all of its functions and features -- along with that nice price -- it'll be hard to see why anyone on a budget and needing a laser printer wouldn't at least consider going with it.
The benefits offered by the HP LaserJet P1006 toner are just one additional selling point with this printer. As to be expected, Hewlett-Packard sets the bar on what you will get with HP toner. Quality and clarity are the main strong points with this toner, along with eliminating costly reprints.
