Excellent.......2007-12-20

Excellent printer, the design is elegant and ease that gives the user is excellent, allowing a good performance when printing high quality in large quantities.

Work Horse for Resturant.......2007-12-07

I have had this printer for about a year and I no complaints, the print quality is excellent for the countless; menus, newsletters and posters i print for my small resturant on a daily basis. It has easily paid for it self many times over from the ink savings over my previous ink jet.
I don't write reviews often but as I am waiting for it to spit out our current newsletter I just wanted to spread the news! Easy to unjam/replace catridges (only ever had to replace the black 1X in the past year).
Great buy for anyone buying too many ink jet catridges; small businesses or small school or church who need a nice quailty, economical color printer.

good value for the money.......2007-11-27

I have been putting off buying a coloured laser for a long time. I have been waiting for them to come down in price. I was also worried about the quality of pictures (as compared to inkjet printers).

However, after trying it out, I loved the quality of the printouts. Hi-resolution pictures come out pretty good. Definitely not as good as an inkjet printing on photo paper, but I would say the quality is somewhat similar to an inkjet printing on plain paper.

The colors are quite vibrant but certain lighter shades end up dithered and you can notice the patterns. I was disappointed when my officemates tried to print on textured paper as it started flaking. Then I read on the internet that you needed to set the paper setting using the printer driver to a thicker paper. After doing that, it works without problems although some textured paper produced a lighter shade of color on the areas near the textures (the rises have a darker shade while the dips have a lighter one).

I got one for my house which rarely gets used, but the one in our office gets used a lot. We print a tremendous amount of colored and black only pages and currently, after about a month of printing, only the black is near empty. The rest of the colors are about one fourth. I hear this is one of the few laser printers that come with full cartridges which shows with our current ink levels.

Also, unlike other laser printers which require you to change the drum and fuser along with the inks, this one does not require you to. The only consumables are the 4 ink colors. I think the drum is included with the ink cartridges? (unsure about that one) So changing the ink, gets you a new drum if the quality goes bad.

And for those of you worried about the printer using ALL colors for black printing, there is a firmware available for download that fixes that. As for the toner stopping printing after 2000 pages even if it isn't empty, setting the printer setting to "override out" in the printer settings on the printer (not software driver) fixes that. (I did my research before buying the one for the house) :)

So....unless one of our printers decides to die on me...I'm quite happy with it.

Completely Happy with It.......2007-11-27

It works great. The printer isn't that large. But it prints fast, and the quality is good as well (it prints much faster than the "better" ones at my workplace). And it looks cool too!

Open at the store if you don't buy from someone online.......2007-11-18

My brother brought his brand spanking new NOT previously opened by human hands 2600N printer home from Best Buy only to find that it was missing all four toner cartridges. Thankfully Best Buy swapped it out for one that came complete from HP.

This box had the original packing tape from HP still sealing the box. Luckily our Best Buy took it back, otherwise my brother would have had to fork over another $300 for toner.

Make sure you open it at the store if you buy this printer from a retail outlet.

Ink RipOff.......2007-10-13

If you don't print primarily COLOR documents, DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER. I purchased the HP Color Laserjet 2600n as an alternative to cheap inkjet printers which use way too much ink. I knew the cartridges were expensive ($85.00 per) but with the yield of each cartridge I thought it was worth it. I also made the assumption that because I used the printer primarily for black ink documents that my color cartridges would last a lot longer than my black cartridge...WRONG. I called HP Technical support for a minor issue. I spoke with Tania. Tania told me that this is primarily a color printer, therefore, when you print a document which only uses black ink, the printer assumes you're also using the color cartridges, so it is using up the color cartridges at the same rate. There's only one catch, when the printer tells you that you have to replace the color cartridges, most likely there is still a LOT of toner left in the cartridge. When I became incredulous, she laughed at me. Eventually I was transferred to Gali, in Customer Care. I was also on the phone at the same time with another woman but they wouldn't give me her name. They confirmed MANY TIMES exactly what Tania told me. So many times during my conversation I said "I just have such a hard time believing that I will be forced to replace FULL CARTRIDGES!" and every time there reply was something to the effect of, I understand Ma'am, but there's nothing we can do, the machine is not defective. If I were you I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.

Now, since this experience, i've learned the following; (haven't tried yet, other's have and said it works)

Here is how to solve problem;
Cartridge Out Override can only be enabled from the printer's control panel menu.
1. From the main menu, press (RIGHT ARROW) to System Setup and press (SELECT).
2. Press (RIGHT ARROW)to Print Quality and press (SELECT).
3. Press (RIGHT ARROW) to Replace supplies and press (SELECT).
4. Press (RIGHT ARROW) to Override Out and press (SELECT).
5. Press (SELECT).
If Stop at out is selected, the printer will stop printing when a cartridge reaches the recommended replacement point. If Override out is selected, the printer will continue printing when a cartridge reaches the recommended replacement point. The factory default setting is Stop at out.

I have to say, I got this remedy on another website. I spent over an hour on the phone with HP and they did not give me this solution. They did give me an override solution that they told me would stop working after 2 weeks. (not sure what that was all about)

It's a shame that HP can't just charge what the printers are worth and let us pay for the toner that we USE.

A nice little workhorse. Rugged and well-designed.......2005-08-30

I bought the HP2600N with a little trepidation. The price was so low that I was afraid that there was a "catch"--that either it jammed a lot, was too slow, or had some other fault. It was not the case.

This has been a very rugged little workhorse for my light to medium duty needs. It is adequately fast at 8PPM for the needs of my home law office. I use the 2600N mainly in conjunction with wordprocessing and the reproduction of scanned documents in TIFF format. The 2600N has been a solid performer in this regards. The 16MB of on-board RAM, while not a lot, seems to be more than adequate for relatively fast printing of scanned documents and photos. HP seems to have kept the price down on this little beast by carefully engineering just how much of a feature is needed to make the overall device perform smartly. I am very pleased with the 2600N.

Incidentally, this unit is network-ready. Hard to believe for the price.

Overall, this is a solid performer that is available at an exceptionally reasonable price if one shops around a bit.
