1 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this printer to use with a Mac, unless you're in the market for a lot of frustration!   July 28, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

HP claims this printer is compatible with Mac OSX. Don't believe it. There are major problems printing from Word on a Mac, a problem of which HP is fully aware but claims that downloading the latest version of the driver from their website will fix it. In my recent and very frustrating experience (3 calls so far to HP Tech Support), it does not. My Laserjet is still not performing consistently (sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it print horizontal lines instead of text), &, having exhausted all the "fixes" HP is able to provide, I'm about to ship it back to Amazon.


5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent printer when used as it is intended   July 18, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Every year we rotate out about 250 printers of a total around 700 printers. That means we are on a three year rotation schedule. The batch going out this year is some pitiful Brother printers that are only one and one-half to two years old. The ones we are keeping past their rotation time are some HP1012 and 1022 printers that have performed flawlessly. Their replacements are these 1505s.

These printers are simply well-suited to their jobs. They are shared at every installation where we use them. They have been fault free so far and most likely will be if they mirror our experience over the last 20 years with HP printers. They are not network printers or meant for heavy production use. For that you have to expect to spend a few more dollars.

Based on our experience here with these printers I bought one for home and it is performing flawlessly.

I would recommend this printer to anyone who needs an everyday, reliable, easy on the combustibles printer.



1 out of 5 stars Printer Sharing issue - Major flaw.   July 16, 2008
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

We've installed two of these printers on a network over a 2003 Server. Problem is, once the printer is shared and a test page is sent to the printer, the printer itself becomes Unshared after. Weird. This is documented on many forums and HP's only response is that this printer is not designed to be used for printer sharing. That is pure BS. This is a network printer. I believe HP put this design flaw in to make if appear to be a lower class printer. To resolve this, do not have users use the Print Test Page feature in printer properties and all will be ok. Another good design flaw (but possibly intended) from our good friends at HP.


2 out of 5 stars Good for Mac w/ open source drivers (if you're a techy)   July 12, 2008
  3 out of 5 found this review helpful

It's been an roller coaster battle getting this printer to work consistently on a Mac. For one thing, the box didn't contain any documentation, and there wasn't any on the CD containing the drivers.

Once installing the drivers from the CD, I immediately had problems printing from Word. This was rectified by changing the formatted printer from "any" to the specific printer.

After this, I had more issues. The printer will stop printing. It will flash forever but never print your documents. Rebooting the computer and deleting the printer does nothing to fix it. The only thing that did allow me to print, albeit for a short while, is to delete the printer and reinstall the drivers that I downloaded from the HP site.

After pulling my hair out for awhile, I stumbled onto some open source drivers that do work. Visit the Linux Foundations's OpenPrinting page at [...]#Printers. I discovered this through this link, [...], which has some directions. Replace HP1100 with the P1505 for best results. If you've done it right, the printer icon should look differently that when using HP's drivers.

My opinion about this printer, and HP, is that I don't know how they can claim this printer is compatible with a Mac when given the drivers they provide, it most clearly is not. Did they do any testing at all? I feel very disappointed and duped by this company and their compatibility claim.



5 out of 5 stars Nice replacement for 1022/1022N   May 15, 2008
  8 out of 10 found this review helpful

I have bought several 1505's and 1505N's and overall had a great experience with them. They are the replacement entry-level Laser monochrome printer for the 1022/1022N. I like them better because they print faster than 1022 (in my experience) and have a power button on the front.

I did receive a bad 1505 but I emailed Amazon and they overnighted me a new printer and emailed me a pre-paid RMA label. Couldn't have been easier - Amazon rocks!

Great little printer! (If you need something a little heftier with HP, I would look at the LJ1320 and so on...)
