This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Nice printer so far
First, let me explain that I am a casual home user. Not being expert in networked printers, I'd not be posting this review except for the fact that in researching this printer I found almost no posted reviews anywhere online. I figured my observations were better than none.
Although I am a novice at installing and configuring a printer on a wired network, I followed the instructions (which were straightforward) and was able to set it up and get it working in under 20 minutes, with no problems at all.
Print quality looks good, but (of course) pictures don't look nearly as good as on a photo inkjet printer. My tests in printing photos on the 3800dn, however, have been very simple -- printing at default settings on plain paper. Tweaking the paper or the settings might make the output more impressive. That said, the pictures showed no banding or streaking -- that is, no terrible flaws. Compared to a photo inkjet, they were pretty flat however (the use of plain papers...
2. Excellent Printer, Although big
This printer works great, the sleep mode helps save power by only consuming 15W when asleep. And it wakes up whenever a print job is sent to it within 12 seconds. The only issues I have with the printer is the cost of toner. To replace all 4 toner carts, you will end up having to spend at least 600.00 The good part about the toner is each cart is rated @6000 pages, so they last awhile. Networking works like a charm, and the duplex function is flawless. The printer changes from last year are a straight line thru for printing, and support of PCL6/5 as well as Postscript 3, which the 3600 and the 3550 do not support. Also 288MB of RAM also helps. My only grip about this printer is that the paper tray requires you push down on it while you are sliding it in, else it won't detect there is any paper. Color wise the print jobs are good, but not as great as a high end ink Jet, but on the bright side, you don't have to worry about the ink drying up nor fading, or smuding when wet.

An excellent printer - works well under stress
We've had this printer it seems like forever.(4-5yrs) and it is a workhorse. With proper driver and configuration it works like a dream. We've printed 200 page reports, booklets, invitations (full colour) certificates, pictures etc. The automatic duplex is a god sent. It's networked and the only colour laser in my company. (25 authorized users)
As with ALL HP inks, it's expensive. I have to change cartridges every 2 months. But it works and the print quality is good. The only major problem I've found so far resides between the desk and chair.
