GOOD

much better than the traditional ink printers. I brought it 1 year ago, after printing 3000 pages, it's still works very well. I recommend it.

I am very happy with it.

I have been satisfied with this printer. I have only had one trouble with it pulling more than one sheet of paper through at a time, but that is all the trouble that I have had. I recommend this item highly. I bought it for use in college, printing powerpoints.

Couldn't be happier

I had an HP 6L years ago. I remember paying about $400 for it and it lasted about 2 years before the paper feeder went bad. I had to manually feed page by page. After that experience, I went through a few Inkjet before I decide to go back to laser printers again.

Even though I didn't buy mine through Amazon, I got my HP 1018 for $15 after rebates. How can you beat that?! I was skeptical and didn't expect the printer to last long, but now, after more than 1 year, it's still cranking away. It's small, quiet, and fast. It's a shame that toner cartridges cost more than the printer itself. I hate to contribute to the our greenhouse problems by generating more waste, but it does not make sense to buy toners when it's cheaper to buy a new printer. Maybe when the toner runs out, I will donate it or put it on Craigslist.

Problems with drivers corrupting

The HP 1018 is a serviceable, inexpensive laser printer. It works great, the toner is reasonably priced, and it prints at a pretty brisk 12 pages per minute.

However, I've had to reinstall the print drivers three times in the last year, because they go corrupt frequently. When this happens, printspooler.svc fails, and you have to manually stop all print jobs, then stop printspooler.svc using msconfig.exe, then uninstall the drivers, reboot, and then reinstall the drivers. The first time this happened it took me several hours to fix at a time when I really needed to print something. It was frustrating.

These driver corruptions seem to happen when printing from a large PDF file. (Two out of three times the drivers corrupted during a PDF print job). I've learned how to fix the problem quickly, and even have the HP driver installer stored on my hard drive. However, it seems that this should be fixed by HP, but even with the most up to date drivers, it still happens.

If you don't print many large documents you may never run into these problems. If you want an inexpensive laser printer that will get the job done, this printer is a good choice, but driver corruption seems to be a common problem with this particular model. Judge for yourself if it's worth putting up with driver corruptions every 4-6 months. If not, pick another printer.
