This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great Color Laser for the Money!
The HP Color LaserJet 3600n is a good buy for the money. You get laser color, speed (17 ppm), networking. 2 trays all in one machine.
If you want great color, don't buy a laser machine, get an inkjet instead. But if you want good color documents printed in a speedy manner for less cost than an inkjet, buy this printer.
One of the real benefits of this printer is that it comes with 4 FULL toner cartridges which would normally cost over $500 for the cartidges alone! The toner cartridges are all exposed when you open the cover, making installation very simple. Jams are extremely easy to remove when you have such wide access.
By buying this printer, you are getting a lot of bang for your buck!
2. Get Rid of your InkJet
Pros:
- Prints fast from sleep in both Black & White and Color.
- Great print quality for a laser printer
- Cheap price per page (According to the Toms Hardware artical: "Color Laser Printers: Fast and Affordable!")
- Printing price-per-page: 1 cent B&W, 8 cents Color
- Networked enabled versions (3600n & 3600dn) have an extensive web based configuration menu. (I'm not sure if you can access it via the USB connection)
Cons:
- Packaged drivers do not work under Windows XP x64
Other Thoughts:
-To get the proper drivers installed into Windows XP x64 you need to download them from hp's webiste. If you are installing it over a network you need to add the printer via Windows Control Panel and specify "local printer attached to this computer" then create a new "Standard TCP/IP port" and then specify the printers IP addy.
- I'm glad to be free from expensive ink cartridges. If i need photo quality prints I'll send my pics to Costco...

Think Twice About Host Based Printers
I bought this HP3600n printer as an upgrade for my worn-out HP2500. I immediately experienced a drastic drop in printing speed. The print language is HP JetReady 4.2, which is a host-based language. HP seems to have removed the processing power to reduce costs on these low-end printers and placed the burden on the users computer. I am running OSX 10.4.11 on a G4 PPC tower and printing to this printer is unacceptable. It takes 1 hours to print a 24-page document from InDesign and 9 minutes to print a 1 page Illustrator doc that contains only text. Also you surrender the computer while this processing takes place. It is like not having a print spooler function.
You also have to put up with the very light and contrasty color from the new toners. This can be tweaked out by cranking every color control from the panel ( plus two for all colors and all shades.) I suspect that the amount of toner used per page will correspondingly go up resulting in high consumable costs...
