 Product so bad Amazon should give the option of negative 5 stars December 22, 2008
Buyer beware! I had purchased at least a dozen of these printers for our office, after nearly 1 1/2 years using these printers, we now only have 2 of these still working. This HP product is nothing more than an expensive paper weight. There is a confirmed, major flaw when you print PDF files to it and HP/Adobe don't seem to care about resolving the issue. If you check out the HP support forum on this product you will discover that when printing from Adobe Acrobat, it will crash the print spool service and keep crashing (if you try restarting the service). You have to jump through hoops deleting files from your Windows system directory and if you want to print a pdf file, you have to go to print... --> click Advanced button and place a check mark in "Print as image" for it to work, and it may not work in all situations. The forum members have discussed possible work arounds at length, but the problems still exist.
On top of that, I've had several of these things shedding off thin, plastic or mylar sheeting that must be part of the drum, ruining any chance of salvage. After several month of use, most of these printers in our office began squealing so bad, that I just had to trash them and replace them with something else.
HP is really starting to let me down with the quality of their products. We have an HP 4Plus that is at least 15 years old and it is still going strong. I've had nothing but trouble with HP over the past several years and have now opted to replace our office laser printers with Brother.
 A Work Horse December 5, 2008
I bought this printer 1n 1/2006. I have used it in a tax business. This little printer just keeps on going. After 3 years I have printed more than 45,000 copies with cheap copy paper and compatible hp ink cartridges without any problems.
So good we now buy Brother November 26, 2008
Installing one of these printers is always a miserable experience. The install program constantly tries to load USB printing support FOR WINDOWS 98, leading to an "unrecognized object". The only way to get a working install on the first try is if you have already installed some other kind -any kind- of USB printer in the past.
Doesn't work well with network print servers or USB switches.
Extremely finicky as to which USB cable it will work with, need to have 2 or 3 cables on hand to find one it will accept. Of course HP doesn't provide one.
I don't have time for this kind of nonsense every time one of my users needs a new printer, and have switched to Brother.
Fanstic unless you are using Linux! November 21, 2008
I picked up the HP Laserjet when I started working full time from home. I am not sure what is up with the Amazon pricing, I picked my up brand new for around $120 from Best Buy on special, brand new in July 2007. The printer is a basic no-frills lazer printer that does a fantastic job.
At home it is working well with my Windows 2000, and Windows XP machines. I managed to get the drivers installed on Vista and that is fine although there do seem to be some glitchy incompatibilities. If I run out of paper when I am printing for example the popup that the printer driver sends up is not a regular window and comes with a Vista warning but other than that it works no problems - things seem fine with Vista SP1 as well. I have not been able to get this working with my Mac or CentOS -- drivers for Linux for this particular model seem to be hard to come buy however I have not looked very hard for the last year or so. The 1022 on the other hand seemed to be widely supported!
As it is the printer is setup as a shared network printer running from my vista box and my wife and I are having no problems with it at all. I understand you can find drivers online but I don't actually need to print from my Mac and its no big deal to print from Windows if I need to get an OpenOffice doc printed that I prepared on Linux.
Drivers aside once the printer is running it is great. The quality of the output is outstanding and it does what it is supposed to do.
HP LaserJet 1020 printer November 2, 2008
I have had this printer for about a year. It is a great printer and I think it is a bargain considering the quality of the printing and the reliability of the machine. There are no negatives. Even if you have an inkjet printer it pays to get one of these just to do work that doesn't need color. The original cartridge lasts for a long time if you use the economical printing mode.
