This is my 2nd 2600n that I've purchased because the original that I bought for full retail price is still going strong after 6 years of use. I've had mostly Brother printers over the years but they have consistently cost me more, not only in toner but all of the other expendable parts too. So when I needed a new toner cartridge for my Brother MFC-9440cn, I looked at the cost of $85 to $120 for an OEM cartridge and decided that maybe I should just go with the tried and true. I really don't know about other HP printers but I can tell you that the 2600n (or the slightly newer 2650n) are reliable and produce excellent colors. They aren't multi-function printers, but they are workhorses that seem to go on forever. My wife has gone through 4 years of school and used our original printer almost every day and that was after me using it at work every day for 2 years! It still produces just as crisp image quality as the one I just bought. Print speed is almost twice as fast as my Brother both to start the print job, and per page.Read full review

The HP Color Lasar Jet 2000n printer has not worked since the time it was set up. The error message that is projected on the printer is "door open," but the door is not open. The printer may have been damaged during shipping. One edge of the box that it came in was pushed in from one corner to another. It looks as if it may have been dropped.

The Color LaserJet's perfectly priced for the home office, yet powerful enough and network-ready for small offices, this printer lets you produce business, marketing, and sales documents in-house, rather than paying to outsource the work to a print shop. My husband and I have a home network set up between 2 PC's, a laptop and a server and the ability to place the LaserJet 2600n printer on the network was a great benefit for us. The HP Color LaserJet 2600n does have a multitude of other functions that in my opinion makes it worth the price. The front-panel LCD makes it easy to set up, use, and maintain the printer. The two-line, 16-character display alerts you to your toner levels, taking the guesswork out of printer management. It has a standard single-sheet priority feed slot, a 250-sheet covered input tray 2, and optional 250-sheet input tray 3, you can configure this printer to meet your specific paper handling needs quite easily. HP Color LaserJet cartridges are designed for simple operation. With just four print cartridges and easy access from a single door, you get hassle-free supplies maintenance. The print cartridges may seem rather expensive at first glance, but when you consider their cost against what you pay for a single smaller color deskjet cartridge and the amount of printing that you can do with the laserjet verses the deskjet, the price for catridges is extremely affordable. I find that it is very cost-effective. While I find the laserjet is not a photo printer,I love the fact that it has the ability to create high-impact, professional documents and marketing materials quickly, without the wait you have with deskjet printers. There are supplies designed specifically for HP Color LaserJet printers, HP Color Laser Glossy Photo Paper and HP Color Laser Glossy Brochure Paper have HP-proprietary coating on both sides for truly impressive, professional-quality color documents - I printed some great vivid color images with their glossy photo paper and framed them for artwork for my daughter's new apartment and you can't tell that they aren't expensive art work. The price is coming down on a lot of the color laser printers, and this printer is worth the cost for the benefits it comes with, in my opinion it is priced right for the home office or small business.Read full review
This is an excellent color laser printer for day to day use. If your looking for photo quality however you may still find better luck with a traditional inkjet printer. In terms of cost and efficiency, this unit is definately worth the the investment. Toner cartridges are substantially more then your traditional ink jet, however when broken down by cost per page printed, this unit outperforms at and estimated cost of .02/page, vs an ink jet at .09/page. In terms of printing speed, this unit is excellent and will easily out perform any inkjet at the same comparable quality print settings. I was able to connect directly to my network, and was able to print with ease after installing the the setup utility. The printer was immediately recognized without any problems, or the need to modify my firewall security. Overall i can say this is an excellent printer for anyone looking for a quality printer for day to day and small business needs.Read full review
I have a small business and wanted a low-volume color laser printer that would work on our small network (network ready) and would work as a direct copy output device for our HP 9100c digital sender. I contacted HP pre-sales on their nifty chat that pops up when you spend too much time poking around on their web site. I specifically asked the chat pre-sales person if the 2600n would work for this application and was sent off to a tier 2 chat pre-sales rep. The tier 2 rep told me that yes, this printer would be great for this application and so I bought it. It was very easy to install on the network and the software automatically detected the printer and I then installed the drivers on each of our computers. Then when I tried to install the printer on the digital sender, it installed, but it would not print. After spending hours on the HP web site I discovered the fact that the 9100c digital sender can only directly print to a printer with a JetDirect card in it. I confirmed this with HP using e-mail support. Unfortunately the 2600n does not have this embedded print server and actually relies on your computer to do a lot of the work to prepare the print job before it is sent to the printer using USB or a direct IP address link. For most, this doesn't really matter, but for me it did. I solved the problem with buying a 3600n and will end up saving money on toner cartridges in the long run. The 2600n is now on my home network and works great there. If you are planing to use a color laser for a lot of pages, I highly recomend looking at the 3600n or even the 3800n. The extra expense ($200 and $500 respectively) up front to go with the higher models will save money on the toner price per page in just a few toner replacements (5 and 3 sets of toner respectively). The other great bonus of the higher models is that you get more paper handling options like big trays and duplexing, not to mention the traditional embedded print server (JetDirect). As with any printer, you either pay when you buy the printer, or you keep paying for expensive disposables. Bottom line - this is a great starter color printer and I would strongly recomend it for home or small business use. It is relatively fast, reliable, low cost to buy, and easy to install. Oh, and don't always belive what a pre-sales HP person tells you. ;-)Read full review
