If the copier is installed and the printer has less than 10 MB memory, pushing the 'copy' button causes it to scan - pause - scan - pause, and eventually it prints.ħ. It only takes one module, maximum 16 MB.Ħ. The 1100 takes 100 pin EDO memory modules, which were not popular even when they were available. 2 MB of memory is not enough for anything other than text printing.ĥ. It can be a bear to clear a jam between the cartridge and the front of the printer a bar must be unscrewed and released to get at the jam.Ĥ. This makes the 1100 prone to jam, which it does frequently. The paper takes one or two right-angle turns, depending on whether the deflector is set to deliver the print out the front or to the receiving tray.

It's parallel / printer port or nothing.ģ. These are expensive, hard to find, and frequently costing more than a used printer.Ģ. It uses a micro-Centronics connector, not the industry standard Centronics. While the print quality is good, it has several problems.ġ. The 1100 was not one of HP's success stories. My $12 printer ended up costing me the better part of $100 by the time I was finished, but it should last a while, as these machines generally go a couple hundred thousand sheets before they're ready for the dumpster.

One can buy service manuals for these printers from Tradebit for a modest price and if you intend on tackling a repair they're absolutely mandatory. If buying the HP 1100, ask to see a good copy of the test sheet which will give you the number of sheets of paper that have been through the printer and will tip you off to any repetitive defects. It took me about an hour and a half to change the fuser and no special tools are needed. As it happened my low page count printer came with a bad fuser assembly, which costs $59 from the manufacture r and $7 on ebay. Parts are readily available from the manufacturer but can be expensive, so it pays to shop around or buy a spare printer for parts. It helps if one is mechanically inclined when buying any used printer, but repair manuals and parts for all older HP products are readily available, and there are good user group resources to help you through any snags.In my particular case my $12 printer came without a toner cartridge or paper supports, so make sure when you buy that the paper supports come with the printer.

The HP 1100 is a good solid monochrome Volkswagen Beetle of a laser printer that occupies a small footprint on the desk and can be had for a rather modest price. Also, do a print page number check when you buy a printer because several sellers will tell you that there are less han 5,000 pages printed,but in reality, there are over 171,000 pages printed. Overall, this is a nice printer that will do a great job for less than $100.

17,000 pages of print is approximately 8-9 years of usage for an average print year (1,500 - 2,000 pages per individual) which is already a long time. Be careful when the printer is advertised with low pages printed or 17,000 pages with low monthly cycle.

I have purchased each of my printers on Ebay with less than 3,000 pages printed (anything more you are risking the chance that the most important part, th e fuser, has already been overworked and will need replacing - good luck if you can find one plus the $100 cost for a printer technician to install it for you). My employer has approximately 20 of these units around the office and after 10-12 years, they are still working. I currently own 4 printers at home (2 are being used in separate rooms and 2 are kept as spares in case of repairs). You might get an occassional multi feed of sheets because of the printers configuration but I think that this is due to high humidity levels at various times that makes the pages stick together. Printing quality is good with a fresh toner cartridge kept in a dry location. This printer is always dependable and reliable. This is a good printer for home or a small business that does not require lots of space.
