Good General Purpose B&W Laser jet

Strengths:

Small form factor, good speed and printout quality, easy to set up, inexpensive (after rebate)

Weaknesses:

Starter toner, no USB cable included, the output tray seems quite flimsy, HP rebates handling is poor

Posted Sep 3, 2007 - I bought this from a Brick and Mortar office supply store and I had to keep emailing HP regarding my rebate. They finally sent it out 2 months after I submitted it. As for the printer itself, it fits general purpose, prints fast and in good resolution, and takes up little desk space. Haven't used it long enough to comment on the toner capacity yet. All in all a satisfactory purchase.

twelve bucks

Strengths:

very simple to setup

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Nov 9, 2007 - Some reviewers say the rebate is a scam. You just have to read very carefully. Some of them require you pay retail price. I found one on HP website that said only requirement was to purchase from an authorized dealer. I sent it in and paid a total of twelve dollars for this printer after my rebate. I bought it for my daughter to use for college. Works with Vista. Very easy setup. For the price I can't complain.

Great Printer for Home & Small Office

Strengths:

Decent printer, Compact, Jam Proof, Quiet

Weaknesses:

USB Cable not included with printer

Posted Jul 12, 2007 - This printer is ideal for anyone who wants a starter laser printer. It is fast to start, easy to load, and at 12 pages a minute, never feels like it's taking forever to finish a job. The LaserJet 1018 is a great alternative to inkjet printers. I haven't seen how long toner lasts, though. But it seems the printer comes with basic toner cartridge good for 1000 pages. The setup was easy, and I managed to set it up within twenty minutes. It's great being able to enjoy the convenience of fast printing after using an inkjet for the past ten years. The printer shoots out the first page immediately without having to warm up, and its very lightweight and small size making it more portable. I love it. Overall, I am very pleased with this printer and like my title says I recommend it for Home & Small Office.

Quick, Compact, Quiet machine, Easy to setup & operate

Strengths:

Inexpensive Laser Printer, Quite Decent Performance, Occupies less space

Weaknesses:

Tray only holds 150 pages, No USB Cable, Tray is uncovered

Posted Jul 12, 2007 - Bought from Staples, been using since 2 months and my observation is that its an excellent printer, very inexpensive, set up in 3 minutes, runs like a champ, very quiet, almost jam-proof, quiet small. The only thing missing is USB cable (does not come with printer). The tray only holds 150 pages. When it runs out of paper, it stops printing. And unlike the older HP 5P, when you reload it with pages, it doesn't automatically start printing again. You have to hit the "Retry" command via the computer. The tray is uncovered, so the pages collect dust. I have had it for a couple of weeks and I have had no problems so far. Other than that, I am very impressed that a printer I would have expected to pay $1000 for just a few years ago can be had for so little, and in such a small package today.

HP LaserJet 1018 Laserjet

Strengths:

Quality product at reasonable price. Compact in size. Ideal for home office.

Weaknesses:

No USB cable included in the product. Toner cartridge is quite pricey.

Posted May 26, 2007 - I bought it mainly because of price and rebate, but I am very pleased with the HP quality. Definitely recommend for home office use with occasional printing. Toner cartridge replacement could be quite pricey.

HP LaserJet 1018

Strengths:

Very compact size, quick printing, easy to put in toner, nice overall appearance.

Weaknesses:

Bad location for the on/off switch, starter toner.

Posted Sep 19, 2006 - This is a good home/small business black and white printer. The quality is very nice and it prints very quickly. The two bad things about it are the fact that the on/off switch is on the back of the printer on the left side, I don't print much so I try to shut my printers off when not using so this makes it a little inconvenient. The toner that is included is a starter 1000 page toner while the full toner does 2000 pages. Pretty much all other HP laser printer come with full toners now. Overall I like it a lot, the price is very low so it's expected to have a starter toner.

HP LaserJet 1018 Laser Printer

Strengths:

Compact, fast and excellent print quality.

Weaknesses:

None found yet.

Posted Jan 20, 2007 - I purchased this printer to replace my HP 5L and should have done it much sooner! This unit has a small footprint, but delivers the quality and dependability of a much larger printer. I have used it extensively since making the purchase two weeks ago and it has yet to jam or pull through multiple sheets of paper as my 5L did almost daily. I recommend this unit to anyone needing a good quality printer for a fair price.

Prefect printer for home use

Strengths:

Very compact size, quiet, easy to use and setup.

Weaknesses:

None for this printer - excepts HP poor handling on the rebate

Posted Aug 16, 2007 - I bought this printer to replace my old HP1100, which with me for over 3 years. I got this printer from Newegg and have been using it for over two months now. As expected, this printer is very easy to install. Once you started the PC, Windows XP automatic recognized it without any issues. I tested the printer by print out some web page and very impress with the performance. It print faster than my old HP1100 and also much quiet too. It seems everywhere are selling this printer at a discount price (Less than $100), I would consider this is a good buy. If you consider to buy this printer because of the rebate. Think again! My rebate sent in almost two months and it has been stuck in "received" status. Hopefully, it will change to "processing" sometimes this month.

HP LaserJet 1018 Review

Strengths:

Small size. Excellent Print Quality. Fast Printing

Weaknesses:

None

Posted May 3, 2007 - This printer replaced an older HP Laserjet that started misfeeding. Its used in an office environment as a personal printer for a VP. Its small size doesn't take up a lot of valuable desk space and the fast printing is a plus when something needs to be printed quickly for a meeting, etc. I've purchased a second one for another person in our office.

Bogus Rebate Alert!

Strengths:

Sorry can't think of one.

Weaknesses:

HP is running a rebate scam.

Posted Sep 11, 2007 - HP is using a clause in their rebate form to deny rebates. If you do not pay MSRP, the will say that you got "special pricing" which the rebate excludes. Beware!

Great Little Laser Printer from HP

Strengths:

Very compact, pretty fast print speed, excellent price

Weaknesses:

None USB Cable included

Posted Aug 3, 2007 - This is one of the best personal laser printers. It is very compact and prints pretty fast at 12PPM. It can be faster with EconoMode as well as save toner cartridge. You need to get an USB cable to hook it to your computer. The USB cable is not included in the package. You can get one from eBay for a few bucks. So the question you might ask is that why HP sells it at such a low price? While there are two reasons. First one is competition from other printer makers such as Brothers, Canon, Minolta, Sharp, Xerox and Lexmark. The second reason is that HP expect you to buy their toner Cartridges. The included cartridge can print only about 1000 pages. You can buy a refill kit from eBay at a fraction of the price of a HP toner cartridge. So if you don't need to use copy and scanner, this is good for you. Otherwise, get a HP all-in-one laserJet.

Decent budget printer

Strengths:

Good text quality, fast

Weaknesses:

Average graphics quality, lacks parallel port

Posted Jun 9, 2007 - This entry level printer from HP does its job of printing everyday text just fine. The graphic quality is a bit grainy however, but nothing out of ordinary for a budget printer. It would be nice to include parallel port in addition to USB like some of HP's competitors. Overall, a decent budget printer.
