HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi

all I ever wanted

It withstood shipping perfectly, and the box was a little worse for the wear, so it had seen some unnecessary roughness along the way. That notwithstanding, setup was cake. It took a while to install the drivers on my windows machine, but on the mac it was fast.

I can use the entire device as a network device now, which means I don't need to leave a computer running and connected to it to print from anywhere in the house. Prints fast, faxes fine, copies fine, scans fine. It does all I expected it to do easily. so far. ;-)

I expect to be stung a bit when I replace the toner cartridges, but I came into this with my eyes open. Toner per page will cost loads less than ink per page.

Overall I'm very happy!

MY PRINTER

I REALLY LIKE THE PRINTER, FOR HOME USE WITH CHILDREN AND HOMEWORKS IT IS VERY FUNCTIONAL, EASY TO USE, OFFICE LIKE ITEM, FAST AND FUNCTIONAL

Avoid at all costs

I have had the same problems as the other negative reviewer, with even more problems for a printer that is only about a year old. In addition, when I try to print legal sheets, it invariably jams up after 1 sheer. Talked to HP several times and it was always "you must be doing something wrong." I do know how to put paper in a printer. So I bought another printer to just print legal and continued to use the printer for letter sized printing and a lot of scanning. Then I installed Windows 7, and voila, no drivers for the printer. Printing regular b & w text moves along at about 1 page per minute, with a lot of delay in between pages. Also, the scanner does not work - no Windows 7 driver. Due to a prior software problem where a "fix" was promised for three years and never came, I have little faith in getting the drivers anytime soon. If you like big useless paper weights, you might like it.

so many problems

First off I did not buy this printer thourgh Amazon. I have bought many, many products from Amazon and because of all the reviews on the products I have been able to buy wisely and have been very happy with all my purchases.

I have owned this HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP printer since Nov. 08 and for the first few months it was good. (Although I don't like the fact that you have to take out the paper and put in an envelope everytime you want to print an envelope).

After about 5 months I started having problems.....and I have spent hours and hours trying to correct them.

Every word document I try to print, say's that the paper size is different than what I have in the printer (it isn't) and do I want to proceed. So you have to click yes.

Then, I can only print ONE copy and it stops, goes through a cleaning cycle or calabrating cycle and then I have to press OK to continue. So if I want 5 copies of one document it would take about 3 minutes to get them and you can't walk away from the machine. Instead I print one and just make copies to get the other 4.

I have read where the driver or something goes bad in this printer and I don't have the computer skills to correct whatever is wrong with it.

I have always had a Hewlett-Packard printer for home and business and they are top notch, great products.
But this time I wish I had bought a different model.

Great for the price

Saved money when bought it on amazon very easy to use and the support line was also very helpful when I got stuck
