HP (Hewlett Packard) lovers… can you help me with a printer purchase?
I am looking for a laser printer that is pretty fast, and can print black & white, color documents and photos all on one printer. I am running an HP dv2000t series laptop with Windows Vista (already pre installed). I also would like to to have a printer that I can print to wirelessly. From a consumer point of view, does anyone have any good suggestions so that I may take them with me when I go printer shopping?

A color laser printer is an expensive item starting at over $200 for a cheap one. If you are not doing alot of color printing you might consider an HP 1018 laser printer for black copies and a cheap all in one ink jet printer for color.

It depends on your reason for wanting a laser printer. Laser printers are built very well and have unbeatable text quality when printing on cheap paper. However, most entry-level laser printers will only have a 600x600 dpi color print resolution. Hence, inkjet printers are usually preferred for photos. So, here's my recommendations: If you're looking for best print quality on cheap paper, consider either the HP Laserjet 1600 or 2600n (2600n has networking and comes with full toner cartridges). These printers are great and photos are decent. If your reason for purchasing a laser printer was because their printing costs are generally lower than inkjets, then you may be pleased to know that HP has released a few inkjet printers that actually beat many laser printer's cost per page while maintaining high quality prints. Color can be printed at up to 4800x1200 dpi and quality on highy-quality paper is arguably better than laser printers. Here is an example of the printing costs of the new HP printers: 88XL black cartridges costs $35, but will print aproximately 2,350 pages. This comes out to 1.5 cents per black page. The HP monochrome 1018 laser printer black cartridge costs $70 and will print 2,000 pages at a cost of 3 cents per page. The printer I would recommend to you is the HP Officejet Pro K5400 which retails for around $150 (if you want multifunction, the L7580, L7680, or L7780 have the same ink system as the K5400). This printer uses 4 cartridges, one for each color. These cartridges are very high capacity, can print 2,000 pages each, and can be purchased for a very resonable price ($35 for the high-capacity black and $25 for each high-capacity color). Hence, you can still have color printing, and you can have it at a lower cost than most laser printers without compromising your photo quality.
