Taking a few minutes to check out the HP LaserJet 2200 printer gives one an opportunity to consider the features and functions of what’s known as a “workhorse” laser printer intended for either a small workgroup or even a lone printer meant to work with single computer. It comes to its users with the ability to deliver good print speeds and excellent print quality with HP LaserJet 2200 toner, at a price of around $130 retail. This should be attractive to a small office business owner.

Speed of printing from this black-and-white laser printer is actually one of the stronger selling points, which is buttressed by that low retail price for a laser printer. At 8 ppm, it won’t be considered a “speedy” printer, but combined with the low price, it makes it hard to pass the LaserJet 2200 by. Most other printers of this capability, even if they were able to meet this unit’s price, are usually a couple pages per minute lower.

Going hand-in-hand with the fine print speed of this HP printer, is its 1,200 dots per inch print quality. This means that the resolution of a product printed out by this particular Hewlett-Packard model will be excellent across almost all print criteria. Output should emerge looking sharp, clear and with no evidence of blurring or smudging. It also can print graphics-rich jobs as well.

Physically, this HP printer is sure to please with its svelte looks. It’s only 16 inches wide by about 10 inches high and will occupy a place on a desktop with little real trouble. It’s also fairly low in weight, matching up nicely against most of the peer group within which the HP 2200 finds itself. In fact, it’s a bit of shock that the printer isn’t larger given all of the print quality it delivers along with acceptable print speed.

Onboard memory supplied by Hewlett-Packard for this unit comes in at 8 MB, which can be upgraded to 72 MB at its maximum. The computer and the printer will share processing power for the most part, and the printer itself comes supplied with a 133 MHz processor, which is adequate enough to handle printing prioritization and output duties under most any circumstance.

Versatility is also excellent in the 2200. It can be hooked into a computer or even a workgroup of a certain size. It’s versatile enough to be connected to a network via either a parallel port or a USB port. It doesn’t come with an included cable, though, so it’ll be necessary to shell out a few extra bucks for one of a decent quality to run between the printer and the computer.

This offering from Hewlett-Packard can hold a full 250 sheets within an included autoloading input tray out of a total of 350 sheets (the other hundred can be fed in through a separate manual feeder slot). It can also print on a number of different media stock, giving it an additional level of versatility that matches up with the versatility already evidenced by its connectivity and print quality.

The HP LaserJet 2200 printer is a fairly durable office machine as printers go. With a monthly duty cycle of about 40,000 pages before requiring any maintenance, most users can expect quite a bit of printing before needing that maintenance activity. It runs on most Windows and Mac OS 7.5.5 and later operating systems. It lists for a $120 retail price and it comes with good print speed capability. In all, it’s a fairly attractive printer and one that will meet the needs of the small office.

Every sheet produced by the HP LaserJet 2200 printer toner cartridge will show your commitment to professionalism. Value is in the results of using HP replacement toner and in finding the best way to order compatible toner.
