HP LaserJet 4250 Monochrome Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This printer has a great price, good specs, and fast printing.However, it does have some issues that hopefully HP will work-out.

The firmware seems pretty buggy.We've had several different problems with the printer crashing.Every couple days or so we get a "Service Error" message on the screen and the printer has to be rebooted.Also, I tried printing a large (1000 page) pdf on it and it would just freeze after printing around 140 pages.It froze twice on the exact same number of pages.I had to break it up into print jobs of 100 pages each.We've also seen where it gets in an infinite cycle where it says, "Processing Job" and the data light blinks, but nothing ever comes out.Again, it requires a reboot.We upgraded the firmware, but the problems didn't go away.

FYI, a parallel port doesn't seem to deliver data fast enough to this printer!It consumes data faster than the port can send it.We could only achieve the 45ppm when we hooked it up to the USB 2.0 port.Not sure about the performance when using HP JetDirect internal print server.
