Cons: Slight paper curling.

Review: My secretary needed a replacement for her HP1000 but I couldn't find one. I still have one at my desk so we had a few cartridges on hand. I did some online comparing and came up with the 1020. I believe it uses the same cartridge - which also fits...

Review: HP hit a homerun with this machine. It is superior for the home office. There are apparently several variations of this machine and as priced by Office Depot, Staples, and other stores, it is a bargain.

To start, I have used this machine for...

Pros: compact, fast, can print checks

Cons: Not as fast as my Lexmak E232 laser

Review: Aside from being compact & 15ppm fast, the Hp 1020 printer does a great job of printing checks and deposit slips when used with any checkmaking software and a MICR toner cartridge from checksnet.

Update 03/07:

Tried a few toner...

Pros: Cheap, fast, easy to setup, prints only black and white, blacks are dark and bold

Cons: Twice as much as the cheapest inkjet, prints only black and white

Review: When are you going to print in color? I'd say almost never. If you need to print in color, there's going to be someone else that has a color printer. Inkjets just take too damn long, the cartridges cost too damn much & wear out too damn fast, and...

Pros: Four thumbs up!! All pros. VERY stingy on toner!

Cons: None!

Review: I had doubts when I bought this due to its small size. Baloney! This printer is a workhorse. My wife goes to college and prints the heck out of this thing. I cannot believe it is still on the "starter" cartridge as we bought this thing ages ago (so...

Pros: cheap, excellent text print, small size, fast

Cons: memory not expandable(minor)

The Bottom Line: If you need a laser printer at very low cost. The HP 1020 is the best bang for the buck.

Review: Inkjet printers are dirt cheap nowadays, so why I threw away my inkjet Canon Pixma IP 1600 (which is only $20 brand new from ebay) to buy this $129 HP 1020 laserjet? Because in the long run it costs me much less with much less hassle, as you read...
