This printer warms up more slowly than my old Laserjet 5000 but, having warmed up, prints more than twice as fast--and much, much faster when duplexing. The duplexing technology is far superior to the old added-tray system, which jammed too often (after several thousand copies, I''ve had no jams in the P3005d duplexer). The image quality is excellent (better for graphics than my $9,000. Toshiba), and it has various fuser settings for different kinds of media. Printing labels and index are no problem. About the only criticisms I have are: the tendency of the copies to curl, regardless of the paper used (but this is a problem common to all laser printers I have used); the menu display is a bit cumbersome and hard to read in some lighting conditions--I wish they would use dedicated buttons and a larger display window for setting such functions as print density. The menu settings for printing custom-size sheets in the proper orientation are tricky and confusing.

Buy HP P3005D Laserjet Printer Now

This is an awesome printer! Have had it for years and it has been flawless in its performance. I had HP printers prior to this that also worked perfectly for years, some for more than a decade. This is big, and heavy. I like that because it means it has some meat to it, unlike the majority of printers today that are so light they just seem to have nothing inside. The only reason I''m writing a review now is because I just bought a new computer which didn''t have the old printer output connection that I was using on the old computer. I thought I was going to have to get a new printer, but when I was searching Amazon for one I saw that they were still selling this printer, and noticed in the specs that it had a USB connector. I used that and it works as well as always, without that huge printer cable that I had been using. Reliable and indestructible. I also get about 10 times the number of pages from a printer cartridge than what the cartridge says I will get, although I only use the HP cartridges so I don''t know about other brands. All it does is print, but that''s what I wanted.

After several attempts at purchasing less expensive home printers that were absurdly slow, loud and/or shaky, ineffective, or just didn''t work at all, I finally gave in and bought this printer, which is the same HP model used at my office. I have to print 60+ page documents on a regular basis and the P3005D does so very quickly and reliably. It prints quietly, holds a large supply of blank paper, and is compact enough not to require a desk of its own. While I didn''t want to spend this much for a home printer, I''ve found this one to be well worth the cost. Plus, I''m saving on paper -I had fish out about three crumbled, torn, and misfed sheets for every one printed on the HP Officejet J4680c I was previously using.

Want HP P3005D Laserjet Printer Discount?

After a year and a half of medium use this thing will power on but not boot up. After extensive searching around the internet it seems like there are problems with the formatter boards on these printers. I called HP to see if anything is being done and we were told if we want a new board it will cost $199 for the board plus installation.

I''ve used tons of HP printers and they usually hold up but this thing is a lemon & a pile of JUNK.

A little more expensive than some... but you can''t be more HP compatible than an HP. Feeding is good, setup went smooth.
