Bought this machine new, for home use aprox 3 - 4 yrs ago; cost me $299 at Sam's Club. Read the info contained in the "tool box" and user's manual (online) and avoided most of the "issues" I've read in other reviews. Especially egnaging the overrid (Read full review at CNET)

| Pros: It was good at first before my ink catridges ran out |

I'm a computer repair technician that has had many years in the field. HP printers might not be the best in impressing me with the printouts it produces, but after a HP printer gets older it starts to shine. For the most part you will have a HP... (Read full review at Amazon)

| The latest in HP's long and illustrious history of LaserJet printers, the new 2600n nevertheless bears more than a passing resemblance to Canon's LBP-5000. As well as having almost identical dimensions and styling, it also has a similar inline toner ...

| HP Color LaserJet 2600n This simple-to-use model prints very sharp text, but does so slowly, making it best suited for home offices. The $399 HP Color LaserJet 2600n is easy to maintain and is best suited for a small workgroup with modest demands. Lightweight at only 40.5 pounds, the printer is also compact and should squeeze into the most cramped of workspaces. The 2600n's paper drawer holds up to 250 sheets of plain paper. For $149 you can add a second 250-sheet tray, which might be handy for printing your letterhead, but hardly turns this unit into a high-capacity workhorse. No optional duplexer is available; however, the 2600dn includes this feature. The 2600n printed some of the sharpest-looking text we saw, albeit slowly, at 6.8 ppm. On plain paper color images looked grainy with lots of banding. Colors were oversaturated, and skin tones had an unnatural orange tint. Glossy photos looked slightly greenish, a little grainy, and had faint banding. The four toner cartridges are the only replaceable parts, and they slide easily into individual slots behind the fold-down front door of the printer. The 2600n comes with full-capacity cartridges, though their rated capacities are modest: just 2500 pages for the black cartridge, and 2000 pages for the color cartridges. The 2600n has the highest estimated costs per page of any printer in our tested group: 2.9 cents per monochrome page and 14.9 cents per color page. Upshot: Given the 2600n's high costs per page and lagging print speeds, consider spending $50 more for the much faster and more efficient Dell 3000cn. -- Paul Jasper ...

| With the lowest price of any of the printers reviewed here, HP?s Color Laserjet 2600n is an excellent way of achieving high-speed colour printing for a minimal price. The 2600n turns out full-colour pages at a rate of up to 8ppm, leaving many more expensive printers lagging at just over half its speed. It has a network interface as standard, an LCD status panel with control buttons and works with Windows and Macintosh systems. Single-pass colour technology places the toner cartridges in a line, making refilling extremely easy and there?s no need to interact with menus or wait for toner carousels to rotate. It?s this technology that allows the printer to achieve its high colour-printing speeds ? the page goes straight through the printer in one pass at the full engine speed, rather than having to complete a separate pass for each colour of toner, which effectively slows the process down by a factor of four. Unfortunately, the engine in the 2600n is rather slow, and switching to mono gains you no performance increase whatsoever. It?s less than half the speed of its nearest rival when printing in black and white, which is a serious disadvantage if you?re hoping to introduce modest colour requirements to print jobs that contain many mono-only pages. As is often the case with printers that are inexpensive, the true cost of the Laserjet 2600n is hidden in the high price of its consumables, which make it the most expensive printer of the group to run. It?s also restricted to rather low-capacity cartridges, which could mean you have to replace them frequently. Software installation is very easy with a good set of features in the Windows driver, although the print quality settings are curiously placed in the ?Finishing? section rather than in the section labelled ?Paper/Quality?. This is part of a group test on budget colour laser printers.

| If you've decided you can't afford a color laser printer, reconsider: the HP Color LaserJet 2600n costs only $399 with built-in Ethernet networkability. This model is simple to use, and the quality of most of its print samples impressed us. However, ...
