HP LaserJet 1012 Toner Cartridges

The HP LaserJet 1012 desktop laser printer was first introduced September 2003 with a suggested retail price of $199. This affordable monochrome (black and white) printer has a very fast first page out of only 10 seconds with a speed of 15 prints per minute at 600 dpi.

HP makes the LaserJet 1012 easy to set up with instructions and drivers on CD. Compatibility with both PC and Mac, USB connectivity, and comfortable capacities – 160 sheet paper capacity in the tray, and 10 sheet capacity in the bypass – as well as it’s small footprint (8.2” x 14.6” x 9.1”) and light weight (only 13 lbs.), make this printer perfect for a home office, small business or single user in a larger business.

The HP 1012 has a recommended monthly duty (maximum print) cycle of 5,000 pages; but with toner cartridges yielding around 2,000 pages per cartridge, this is a great printer for light use. The 133MHz processor and 8MB RAM included will handle general printing easily.

Pros:

• Sharp, crisp prints
• Efficient space usage
• Quiet operation

Cons:

• On/off switch located in back by power cord
• Small cartridge toner capacity – not ideal for heavy usage
