I deleted the old printer from "Print & Scan" in System Preferences, then just printed something, and my computer found the right driver. The hardest thing about the set up was finding the "on" switch (front lower right). My husband tried some sort of universal printer driver, which allowed me to print most of what I needed (mainly text), but I had problems printing some scans and other more complicated things, so I eventually decided it was time to get a new printer even though the old one was still going strong. I recently upgraded to a MacBook Air that came with Lion installed, but unfortunately it didn't always play well with my 12-year-old HP 2100m LaserJet. Perhaps one of these cartridges in fifteen has a problem toss it and replace it in sixty seconds.(Even with third-part pricing, toner cost over the life of this laser printer will be at least 5 times the cost of the printer but much cheaper than ink costs for an ink-jet.) We have been using third-party toner for all of our HP printers with good results for three years. Setup using a LAN connection was easy and flawless, much better than any prior HP printer that we have owned - well-done HP!īUT, try the third-party toners at about 35% of the HP toner price. There are no printed instructions in the box. This product is designed for heavy office use and will be our new standard printer! It is equally compact and attractive, has a similar paper path, like the 1320 includes reliable double-sided printing but is 10% faster. The P2055 series is the replacement for the 1320. Once each year we do a 20,000 page double-sided run over two days using three 1320s running almost constantly for eight hours each day one minor jam occurs about every 2,500 pages! For the last seven years we swore by the HP 1320 series but that model was discontinued some time ago. Two are color and lightly used, but we do about 500 pages per day monochrome. We have nine printers in daily use at our professional engineering firm.
