Excellent Laser Printer

"Began to have problems with my old HP 1200, and read many reviews on the new HP laser's. After many favorable reviews on this one, I purchased it. After approx 1 month of use, I am very happy with my decision on buying this laser. Works great and fast, compared to the old workhorse 1200 I had."

Great Home Printer

Pros: small footprint, fast printing, 10/100 ethernet, 2 sided printing, hp eprint, costco warranty
Cons: eprint documentation and online sparse, no wifi although eprint gives you similar results, hpeprint has received mixed reviews from consumers
"This printer is great for home use. Although it is a stripped down consumer model when compared to business versions, it appears robust enough for normal use and it has a pretty small footprint. Two sided printing works well and is a nice feature.
Setup was fairly straight forward. It took more time to unwrap and remove the protective packaging than it did to connect to my network and print out a test page. For most users, I suspect this will be it.
I, on the other hand, specifically chose this model because of the HP ePrint feature and 10/100 Ethernet card. I have it hard wired into my network (it is not wireless) and can now print from any computer, wireless device, smart phone, even Google TV via Google Print, even off site. I can also share this printer with anyone through Google Print and they can print to it as well.
Setting up ePrint was more difficult that I thought it should be; the online documentation and support forums were sparse. Eventually I called and spoke to an ePrint services rep and we figured it out. To save you the trouble to call HP, save yourself time and update the firmware manually through the printer interface on your network. You'll need to do that to gain another access menu where you can begin to register and generate a unique ID if you want to print to it from outside of your network through ePrint or Google Print.
You really can't beat Costco's unlimited warranty for printers. If there is an issue in the future, they will stand behind it. I don't think that this printer will have any issues though.

Perfect example of cheap product

Model Number: HP Laser jet Pro P1606dn
"I ordered this printer online. Nothing was noted in the product description that it did not come with usb cord in order to connect it to a computer. Nor did the product description say anything about the toner cartridge being one-half the capacity of a normal cartridge. Costco should inform its members of these two deficiencies in their product description.
sincerely,

pathetic customer service, had to return

Cons: hp customer service -- the worst!!!
Model Number: hp p1606
"Could not get this to work with a Dell laptop ( vista). HP customer service in Asia was below pathetic. Over an hour. This Dell laptop works with all our other HP printers. HP wanted me to Call Dell and microsoft. They then offered to get it to work for a $59 charge. A supervisor never was available and was to call back but never did. I returned the printer. Wasted time and a frustrating character building nightmare."

Excellent Printer

Model Number: HP P1606DN
"I had a good old HP 6MP. It was too old to be connected to the new Windows 7 PC which did not have a parallel port.
P1606DN is a fast machine. The first page comes out in about two seconds. The printer itself feels plastic cheap. However, if you don’t touch it, there is no difference to other printers.
It seems the printer has to go through a five second cycle before the envelope is printed. The envelope printing is not as good as that on the good old 6MP. The envelope will be curved and sometimes the alignment is not accurate. It is the only complain on this printer.
For this price, P1606DN is an excellent choice for home or small business environment. It has network, duplex, fast…"

Works Beautifully on a Mac

Pros: easy set up
Cons: no usb cable
Model Number: 1606 dn
"Installed on a Mac (Snow Leopard( using provided CD. Luckily had old USB cable. Installed without problems. Fast clean printing. Was able to get double sided printing feature. I recommend saving the instructions from the CD (under documentation) for use with a mac on your computer, because the written info provided is rudimentary "follow on screen instruction". But very pleased with the purchase and features and the ability to save paper by printing on both sides or multiple pages on one page"

Nice little laser

Pros: network ready, duplex printing, small size, drivers on the printer, fast
Cons: have not found one to date
Model Number: P1606DN
"I picked this one up to replace a HP LaserJet 4. I'm impressed with the speed of which prints come out. My old workhorse would take 30 seconds to "warm up" before printing. Duplex printing is a great and unexpected feature at this level. Key to this purchase for me was being network ready. I think it took me longer to find something to cut the tape to open the box then it idid to get setup on the netwok and printing. Another great feature is it's accessible via a browser where you can download the driver from the printer itself. Doesn't get much easier then that."

Exellent home printer

Model Number: HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn
"For all those who complained about getting started, I had no problem starting this printer up and net work it on all of my home computers while I consider myself computer stupid. Printing on duplex mode, professional quality of the print, low noise, speed and accessibility, easily surpasses most printers I’ve owned or worked with at the office. Add Costco extended warranty it makes it all around excellent buy, I highly recommend this printer for homes with several users."
