Bad Formatter Board; Not A Reliable Printer

I have been extremely pleased with HP printers for as long as I've been computing (almost 25 years!), however I bought an HP Laserjet P3005x in late 2007 and have had no end of problems, the most significant being the faulty formatter board, which is the brain of the printer. I have learned that this part is defective in a large number of these particular printers, and that there is an HP service note on units within a certain serial number range. My printer of course is just outside the service note range and is out of warranty, so I am S.O.L. with a dead printer barely over a year old. My old HP Laserjet 4L worked for almost 10 years without a single problem. Needless to say, this has been one very disappointing printer, and the fact that a crucial component within the printer was defective right from the start (and many, many other units contain the same defective part!) is even more disappointing. Please be cautioned that the Laserjet P3005 series printers are repair magnets; if  more

Best of the Best

We deploy the HP P3005x and other HP product into our managed facilities where we use them for than letters!! They perform day in and day out with out fail.

Great Printer

I received this printer quickly and in great shape. It took only minutes to install the driver and have it setup on the network. Very easy to use and configure. The printer starts printing immediatly after you send the command to print over the network and keeps printing fast throughout the job. Great printer I hope to buy more of this printer for the company.

Great Machine

This has been one of the Best HP printers we have purchased in a number of years. Maintenance kits are easy to install and youactually do not need to do them until you reach the recomended page number. We have 7 P3005x's in use.

Best price, top condition

This is the best priced two-tray networked printer on the market. This works very well for us and the seller got it to us in good time. I would recommend the seller and will shop there again for future needs.

Fast

We upgraded our office printer, which is used by 10 workstations, from an hp laserjet 2200dtn to this p3005x. It was a huge improvement. It is very fast, prints very sharp and holds a lot of paper.

We are very pleased with its perfomance and I couldn't find a better price than amazon's.

So far so good.

Great high speed, network ready printer

This printer was purchased for use in a registrar's and student accounts office. The foot print is small, multiple trays provide flexibility, speed is good for an office setting, toner seems to last longer that many, and set-up was easy. This is a great small, B&W office printer and the price is reasonable. No complaints or problems to date.
