It seems impossible to get a descent home printer now-a-day.
I mean one you don't have to replace every other 2 or 3 years.
Last time I was ranting about how our last
Brother HL-1440 sucked and we
replaced it by an
HP LaserJet 1012.
Turns out the HP LaserJet 1012 sucks too.
I always knew it was an "host-based" printer, meaning the Windows box is
the one that prepares the image and sends it to the printer.
What I didn't know is that it is actually a more powerful printer which
is caped down due to some firmware bugs. These bugs are known by
HP but they choose to ignore them, as one can read one this
forum page: HP LaserJet 1012 Unsupported Personality PCL.
In my case, 3 years down the road, the printers works fine, very fine.
When it decides to work that is, which doesn't happen very often.
Continue reading the HP LaserJet 1012 rant
for the full details.
So is another HP LaserJet going to suck too?
What other printer would you recommend? |
