HP has very profound and serious quality problems. This model Laser Jet 5p, is one of their better ones. They were doing really well with the HP Laser Jet 3 and 4. But starting with the 6L, they dove head first into planned obsolescence. This is probably because the quality of Laser Jet 3 and 4 kept up a competing after-market. This product was also manufactured in Idaho, USA. After this, their leadership, including Carly Fiorina, switched the business model from quality manufacturing to planned obsolescence, and to maximize the tax deductions of moving manufacturing to Asia. The Laser Jet 5P gives you the pre-Fiorina quality design and production, with some capabilities of later advanced models.
Our old HP LaserJet 5P printer was more than 20 years old and finally bit the dust. Print quality was exceptional although printing speed was slow. We have several other printers around but this was the most dependable as they have all been replaced at least once. Have now linked all our computers at home to the "new" 5P for everyday use. Would highly recommend this printer to anyone who wants quality over speed.
Just needed the item for parts to repair a printer I had, Used the covers to replace the printer I have now my printer has all the parts and looks brand new.
Verified purchase: Yes
I already have an HPLJ5 that my autistic child damaged recently. Up until then, the printer worked great for many years without any servicing ever. The HPLJ5P was built well to be a workhorse. It has quality performance, great reliability, and low maintenance ratings. Another advantage is that its toner cartridge can be refilled extremely economically using tonerrefillkits.com. I purchased this replacement HPLJ5P instead of buying new because I have personal experience and trust in this printer model, I purchased it for a great price on eBay from a printer repairman, I already own extra HPLJ5P toner and replacement cartridges, and who knows, I might be able to use the damaged printer for replacement parts in the future if ever needed. I have been using this replacement for about a month now and so far it works as good as the first one did.Read full review
It is a good working Laserjet printer! I wanted an inexpensive black & white high quality printer. Hewlett-Packard Laserjet printers have been known for their quality for many decades!!!
