Customer reviews for HP P3005
I ordered this printer as it was the only one that would work
with my software package. It was to ship no later than May 20,2010.
On that date I still did not have this printer. I contacted Amazon
and they in turn contacted the company SoCalDeal. A man named Simon
responded back right away to say it had been delivered on May 5th. and
sent the delivery conformation number. I looked at it and it was signed
by a name that was not employeed at our business. So I contacted back
to inform him of this so he contacted FedEx to find out it had been
delivered to the wrong address. It was the High School down the street
and Simon called them many times and they were very difficult about giving
this printer up even though it had my company name and address all over it.
FedEx was not a lot of help with it either, but I talked with my FedEx driver
and he stopped by the High School a few days later and found the printer and
showed them who it was addressed to and brought it to us. But Simon kept in
touch through the whole ordeal. It is important to me that Amazon uses such
reliable suppliers as this was my first experience.
HP P3005 Review by R. Sly "Ras One" (Minnesota)
I have had this printer for about a month. It was very easy to setup on our small school network, I assigned it a fixed IP address to make it easier to find and install on the 10 computers. I used the HP network installation utility to create an install program that each of the Windows XP and Windows 2000 pc's could use to load/install and make the default print driver. Very straight forward. (I set it up to default to double sided printing to save paper).
I downloaded the Vista PCL6 driver directly from HP and used that driver on our 4 Vista pc's.
I estimate we will be printing a couple 1000 sheets a month. I choose this printer for a several reasons:
- Past experience with HP higher end printers (my work uses them by the dozens).
- Ability to Duplex print (double-sided).
- Heavier duty than most of the 'bundled' printers that come with a new PC. This LaserJet can easily handle our printing load.
- Paper tray holds a full ream of paper (500 sheets)! We should not have half full reams laying around.
- Fairly fast printing. Although using the duplex mode takes about 2.5 times the time to make a single sided print. Estimate the first page in less than 10 seconds, then if single sided, a print every 2-3 seconds. In duplex mode, the page comes out about half way and then pauses for a couple seconds and it is pulled back into the printer and then is ejected out with the back side printed on. Takes about 6-7 seconds to print both sides of a page. (These are normal word processing documents without large graphics).
- Built in networking, the Jet-direct embedded print server is very easy to manage with a web interface. Also very easy to check on usage and toner level. Very good status and usage information, telling how many of which size paper and if single sided or double sided, error messages or paper jam logs etc. (So far no paper jambs or errors!).
- Had a $450 instant rebate which cut the cost in half, very good value for the money. Picked it up locally for the same price as Amazon had. Didn't have to wait for shipping and it was a sales tax-exempt purchase.
- Amazon had one of the best prices for the genuine HP toner kit, so I bought the toner from Amazon. You do get what you pay for, so compare the P3005dn to other printers in the same price range. This was a better deal than the HP P2015x.
- Printer came with one of the HP Q7551A toner kits ($110 value). This toner should last 6500 pages (the fuller Q7551X cost almost twice as much and gives double the number of pages). Double sided printing counts as 2 pages.
This was a good purchase for my school. I will write another review after we have used it for several months, maybe after the first toner change so I can state the number of copies we got.
HP P3005 Review by C. S. Daniel "taxguy" (Lexington, KY)
This printer worked great for a year, then began having one problem after another.
All were expensive fixes too. As of today, it is on the blink (yet) again.
Will not buy another, and will not buy from HP again. A lemon if ever there were one.
