Summary: Unhappy
Comment: Although I have been satisfied with this printer (HP 2600N) over the last year and 1 month, today's experiences have caused me to NEVER EVERY buy another HP product for as long as I LIVE.

Issue # 1 - Toner cartridge ran dry, so I bought a new one and it wasn't recognized by printer. After many attempts it was finally recognized but does not print properly. The coloring for the first 2 inches is very faded and then is okay after that.

Issue # 2 - Since my printer is out of warranty HP Support wants $25 with no guarentee that they can solve the problem. Was not allowed to speak to a supervisor.

Issue # 3 - I cannot continue to use my printer if any of the cartridges are missing. Meaning if I want to print in Black I must have all cartridges present and recognizable by the printer.

Issue # 4 - at $90 per cartridge (roughly) thats $360 per year on average for consumables. A brand new printer costs $260. Competitors can cost less. Hmmm.

What just happened today put a very sour taste in my mouth and gave me the determination to NEVER buy any HP product EVER.

Sorry, I am doing the only thing I can and that is voting with my $$$$.

Comment: This machine prints great. Takes a while to initialize and does it quite often, so best if you leave it on all the time. Also had a problem with it thinking that it was out of the yellow ink. It was not. Took me skaking the cartridge and taking them all out and placing them back a few times to correct the error. But, otherwise this item is acceptable especially for the price. The ink....expensive. Look to see the ink prices before making this choice.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: This printer is a baby HP3600N, a workhorse color laser. The 2600 is an amazing printer for such a cheap price. It is small and quiet. It delivers super quality. You gotta get one...throw out that inkjet junk and move up to corporate quality at a home price.

Summary: This printer won't work on OSX 10.4.9
Comment: I got this printer through another cheaper company, and it simply won't work on a MAC running 10.4.9. The drivers on HP's Web site are utterly useless. After all the updates, still nothing. It never shows up on the Apple at all, and Apple's site doesn't offer support. I bought this specifically because I saw it on Apple's Web site and thus assumed it would work with their machines. I guess not.
