Taking a few minutes to check out the HP LaserJet 2200 printer gives one an opportunity to consider the features and functions of what’s known as a “workhorse” laser printer intended for either a small workgroup or even a lone printer meant to work with single computer. It comes to its users with the ability to deliver good print speeds and excellent print quality with HP LaserJet 2200 toner, at a price of around $130 retail. This should be attractive to a small office business owner.

Printer speeds delivered by this monochrome laser printer are one of the 2200’s selling points. It can deliver a very nice 8 pages per minute of copy and at a price that most other competitor printers would be hard-pressed to match. Additionally, these same printers have a tough time getting within a couple of pages per minute of this HP printer, which should also be attractive to most anybody considering purchasing it.

Print quality offered by the HP 2200 is excellent it must be said. At 1,200 dots per inch, it will deliver a high-quality print product that will be excellent across most assessment benchmarks. Blurriness or smearing will be absent and all text will look rich and deep. Also as well, it handles the typical graphics-intensive print job when it needs to.

The LaserJet 2200 is also a fairly compact machine and actually doesn’t weigh very much when compared to its counterparts out there in the marketplace. It is only 10 inches high and about 16 inches wide, which means it will only take up a fairly small corner on a desktop or next to any computer to which it’s been connected.

There’s a standard 8 MB of supplied memory, and it can be increased to about 72 MB if that’s what’s called for by the user or the workgroup to which it’ll be joined. It usually makes use of the computer’s own processing power to do all of its work, and is controlled via use of a 133 MHz processor. It might not be the speediest, but it’s able to keep everything moving along nicely and delivered with little real fuss.

Versatility is also excellent in the 2200. It can be hooked into a computer or even a workgroup of a certain size. It’s versatile enough to be connected to a network via either a parallel port or a USB port. It doesn’t come with an included cable, though, so it’ll be necessary to shell out a few extra bucks for one of a decent quality to run between the printer and the computer.

This offering from Hewlett-Packard can hold a full 250 sheets within an included autoloading input tray out of a total of 350 sheets (the other hundred can be fed in through a separate manual feeder slot). It can also print on a number of different media stock, giving it an additional level of versatility that matches up with the versatility already evidenced by its connectivity and print quality.

The HP LaserJet 2200 printer comes to the game with nice durability, as far as these types of printers go. Monthly duty cycle is rated at 40,000 pages per month of print product. This means that it can print out about 40,000 sheets of product before needing any sort of required maintenance. It has the ability to run off of Mac OS 7.7.7 and most Windows OSs. For $120 retail and decent print speeds, it hard to find much to nitpick about when it comes to this laser printer.

The HP LaserJet 2200 laser toner, an ongoing consumable for this machine, can be obtained any place HP laser toner is sold. However, surprisingly inexpensive laser toner can be found online with just a few mouse clicks.
