DEMOCR300 HP LaserJet Pro P1102w

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w is a personal monochrome laser designed for the home or small office environment.  It fits a lot of great functionality into a small design and has excellent print speeds at up to 18 pages per minute.  LaserJet Pro P1102w toner is very inexpensive, for economical printing.

The unit connects to a single computer via USB, or it can be shared using WiFi, as it supports both 802.11b and 802.11g standards.  While this is a nice bonus feature, sharing it among too many users is not recommended, as its 150-sheet paper capacity and up to 5,000 sheet monthly duty cycle is not designed for heavy use by a large office.  Still, for sharing among a small office of computers, it should do quite well.  The printer supports all modern versions of Windows, Mac OS X and even many distributions of Linux, for great cross-platform compatibility.

HP P1102w toner is inexpensive and toners are easy to find in both retail stores and online.  LaserJet Pro P1102w toner cartridges have a capacity of 1,600 pages, and the combination of large capacity and low price give it a very low cost per page.  Printer toner costs are a large part of any printer’s expense, so the low cost of HP P1102w toner cartridges will save money now and in the future.
