HP LaserJet 4100n Printer Review: Is This Old Model Still The Best?

Even though the HP LaserJet 4100n's technological components have changed very little over the decade since its release in 2001, many people still love it. They're willing to buy a refurbished HP LaserJet 4100n over a different, brand new model because they've seen how well it performs.

The workload the HP LaserJet 4100n will handle alone would be enough to account for its popularity. It shoots out 24 ppm (pages per minute) at a resolution of 1200 dpi, operating on a memory of 32 MB, which can be expanded to 256 MB to improve performance even more. Five hundred sheets can be held in the HP LaserJet 4100n's paper tray, which is adjustable to hold every size from A5 to legal.

If you prefer manual feed, that's available as well, with the additional option of envelope feed. With a functional capacity of 150, 000 pages per month, the HP LaserJet 4100n is still a heavy duty printer today.

You have two options when connecting the HP LaserJet 4100n to your computer- parallel and Ethernet. In this day and time, most people will use Ethernet, but I guess it's good to provide the other option for older computers. The HP LaserJet 4100n is compatible with every Windows version, plus the Mac OS. The drivers for both are included on the installation CD-ROM. The control buttons and LCD panel will be sufficient for configuration and choosing the network port.

You can also opt to manage your printer remotely from your computer. The Smart Print Supplies System was first made available on the HP LaserJet 4100n. This will tell you when sealing tape is left on the toner cartridge and how to fix the problem, and if any supplies are running low. Also, it will send an email to the person responsible for machine maintenance when the toner gets low. If you like, you can even set it to order its own toner.

Some facets of the HP LaserJet 4100n are desirable; others might be seen as an inconvenience. For one thing, the HP LaserJet 4100n has metal parts instead of plastic. In our age of ease, many people would go for a newer model just because it's lighter, but others prefer the durability of metal over the fragility of plastic.

Metal machines will still run once the plastic ones have long since conked out, which is how come it is still being refurbished. However, this may easily be overshadowed by the HP LaserJet 4100n's lack of automatic duplex printing and stapling, nor the option of a wireless connection, which is especially desirable for laptop users.

The HP LaserJet 4100n will give the dependability of lifelong use, although you'll sacrifice a few functions common to modern printers.
