I know that you might save $100 more or less buying another brand with similar features, but why? HP printers are the industry standard. I've owned so many printers I've lost count, and every time I save a few bucks and buy other than HP I end up regretting it! I use this printer to copy, print & fax in my office, and it has never failed me yet. Great dependability. I have owned it for 10 months and I have never had a problem with it. Yes, I am a loyal HP fan, but experience has brought me to this point. When the costs are nearly comparable, why NOT go with the best. I also have a HP 3015 at home, which I bought for a few hundred less than the 3030. The flat plate copy feature of the 3030 is worth the extra cost if you do a lot of coping or scanning. I highly recommend this printer.
I am not using it in windows, last I looked there was no satisfactory win driver that would also support the scanner. WELL HERE COMES LINUX!!!! Install it under cups and EVERYTHING works. Thanks to HP also, they wrote a better driver for linux than for windows. Otherwise, the machine works at a very low pp cost. An outdated machine, the challenge is to give it new life in spite of our throw away culture
For a small business like ours that does minor printing, we have a unit just like this one since 2006 and it is still working without a problem. One of the most reliable units that HP had made. We bought an HP Laserjet M1522nf as a back-up which looked almost similar to the 3030 in design but somehow the engineering was not the same. The 1522 would keep on "initializing" during fax mode and the copy print quality is not as sharp as the 3030. The 1522 has since been serviced several times since we got it in 2009.
Great product for the price
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
great for small business with limited office/counter space, small multi functional printer that's reliable, you can not go wrong with this !
