Gaining an appreciation for the HP LaserJet 6p printer and LaserJet 6P laser toners is easy to do after spending a few minutes putting this versatile and low-priced model through its paces. It’s clear that Hewlett-Packard has intended this particular laser printer be aimed more at the small office or home office environment rather than for use in a networked workgroup. At that, the company has succeeded well.

To start, the 6p prints out at about eight pages per minute with the HP LaserJet printer toner cartridge, which isn’t exactly speedy but the quality of the printed page will — by and large — look quite nice. It is a printer that does its work in black-and-white (called “monochrome”) and it is also selling for around $60.  This is an exceptionally-low price for an actual laser printer, which means also that print costs will be exceedingly low.

In addition, the compact size of this device ought to serve notice that not only did this printer come to do battle, but that it also will do so while sitting nicely on any size desktop. It’s only 8 inches high and 16 inches wide. There’s no duplex capability, but that won’t be a concern given how truly inexpensive the HP 6p is. This is sure to attract more than a few folks looking for low price and good performance, as well.

As far as print quality goes, the HP 6p comes to the game with standard 600 dots per inch print capability. Most folks would say that this is average performance, but again, consider the purchase price that goes along with that decent print quality and it’s hard to see what reasons would be exist to complain about any sort of print resolution capability.

Another attractive aspect when it comes to this Hewlett-Packard is that it connects via wired technology or with optional wireless (for a fee) capability. Most purchasers of this kind of printer will just stick with wired technology, though. Connect it and the printer will do the rest, uploading the correct print drivers so that one will be up and running within a few short minutes.

The printer comes with 2 MB of RAM that can be upgraded to 50 MB. It works off of the host computer’s processing power and all of it is managed via a 24 MHz processor, which helps to explain its eight pages per minute speed. Another attractive aspect to this particular printer is that it can hold up to 350 sheets of paper within its two auto load trays. That’s quite a bit of paper for such an inexpensive printer.

When it comes to durability, this device delivers the goods at 12,000 pages per month of duty before needing any sort of maintenance. A single printer cartridge available for this particular unit is good for over 4,000 pages, which means that overall cost-per-page ratios will be fairly low. This is sure to attract the attention of almost any startup entrepreneur looking for a laser printer at a good price.

In all, there seems to be a lot to like about the HP LaserJet 6p printer. It combines a low price ($60 at a couple of different retail stores, with the average price being somewhere around $90) with nice durability and easy connectivity. When all of its functions and features are added up, and when one considers that it’s a true laser printer, the HP 6p seems destined to be a presence in many home office environments.

If this printer is right for your small office, you might be a cost conscious person.  It’s here that HP LaserJet 6P laser toner will provide what you’re looking for. HP ink and toner seems to resist costly reprints by printing right the first time and cartridges online is a definite bargain.
