Customer Reviews

Worst HP I’ve Ever Used
Does NOT do manual duplexing like it says. The drivers just don’t work under Vista, and you will waste 1/2 a ream of paper trying to get it to work before giving up (with the latest drivers). The paper feeding is junk and jams/misaligns paper all the time because the alignment guides are only a couple inches. It is noisy. Even new, it has terrible squeaking and groaning sounds. In comparison, I have an 11-year old HP 4000 duplexer which never misses a beat, runs like a well-oiled machine, and has jammed maybe 2 or 3 times in it’s entire life. You can guess which printer gets used most. HP has gone down the tubes creating junk printers like this.

Excellent!!
This has been a great printer for my family. We use it often and it has not let us down in any way!! Very pleased!!

Think Twice About Host Based Printers
I bought this HP3600n printer as an upgrade for my worn-out HP2500. I immediately experienced a drastic drop in printing speed. The print language is HP JetReady 4.2, which is a host-based language. HP seems to have removed the processing power to reduce costs on these low-end printers and placed the burden on the users computer. I am running OSX 10.4.11 on a G4 PPC tower and printing to this printer is unacceptable. It takes 1 hours to print a 24-page document from InDesign and 9 minutes to print a 1 page Illustrator doc that contains only text. Also you surrender the computer while this processing takes place. It is like not having a print spooler function.

You also have to put up with the very light and contrasty color from the new toners. This can be tweaked out by cranking every color control from the panel ( plus two for all colors and all shades.) I suspect that the amount of toner used per page will correspondingly go up resulting in high consumable costs.

It was mistake on my part in buying this printer. The correct choice for a unit with comparable duty cycle and features but with a processor is the CP3505. Compare and contrast the two printers at HP web site and you will see that a lot of features are obtained for a small increase in price.

Thank goodness that my supplier allowed me to return this printer.

Think long and hard before buying any model HP laser printer with host based processing.
