There I was , just another one fallen for the attractive advertisement and the price of Rs 9990. Was looking for a good laser printer the dealer recommended the cheapest and best option as 1010 got it installed it .
Price : 9990 /- May-05
Lessons learnt : READ TECHNICAL DOCS COMPLETEY before buying anything. Even though if they are long read them . It was my mistake I didnt read the technical info of the printer in detail. The printer is a host based printer and does have its own processor and hence DOS prints are out of question.
Cons : No dos prints, Doest work on NT , will throw up random unsupported pcl error with windows 2000 pro and windows xp, paper jams even with the best quality of paper available today.
Pros : Print quality is between average and good. In econmode it is too light
Print speed is good. IT is a compact machine and looks good.
Advice : Avoid goign for this particular model and in same series of 1012 of hp there is no support of drivers for the problems mentioned above.
I am totally dissappointed with the result.But since its just 2 month old printer cant even think of replacing it. will have to use at is.
