HP Business Inkjet 2300 Series Printer

The high quality of printing offered by the mono laser printer HP LaserJet P3005 recommends it as a business machine. When you decide to buy HP LaserJet P3005, you can choose between five configurations, which have prices between $550 and $1,000. A different choice, comparable with this printer, is the Lexmark E352, which proves to be even better than HP LaserJet P3005. Lexmark E352 is less expensive than the HP printer, and has the duplexer and network ready options, which both miss the HP LaserJet P3005 series. On the other hand, the HP series can offer better paper printing quality, which are also cheaper. The HP LaserJet P3005 printer was created for single-purposes needed in an office environment, and handles very well these tasks.

The HP printer was designed after a boxy, classical line, which suits well this single office purpose. The color that was chosen for its case is gray, a color scheme that suits well the rest of an office environment and attitude. The dimensions are not small but not too big either, it has 16.7 inches wide, 12.2 inches tall and 16.1 inches deep. The weight reaches to 36 pounds.

The HP LaserJet P3005 has a 500-sheet paper cassette, which is placed at the front of the printer. This case is adjustable and above it stands another multipurpose tray. The output tray is placed at the top of the printer, and has an extension that will help you keep the papers together.

The control panel is appropriate for the simple tasks that HP LaserJet P3005 executes. It has a menu button and a menu navigation button that are meant to help you slide through the options clearly enumerated in the two-line text LCD. Some of these options are named print quality, maintenance and diagnostics. There is also a “show me how” menu, which will make things even easier, showing you how to load the trays or load special media. All of these advices are to be found in the user guide as well, but when you access this menu, you will receive a printout to guide you even better.
