Hi I bought a p1102 hp printer and after having officejet 5610 I'm surprised! Faster than my previous ink printer, I found it to be very economic for my research printing jobs and etc. But there's a problem with knowing the average capacity of one recharge of it that I guess it must be 1000 Pgs.

HP had a special event a few weeks ago to launch, among other things, a new range of printers that feature what it calls HP Smart Install – plug one in via USB, and it automatically uploads its drivers to your computer, installs itself and is ready to go within minutes. Great, right?

Wireless printing; auto-off/auto-on; good print quality

Smart Install doesn't work on Macs; wireless instructions aren't provided for Macs

QUICK INTRO TO WHAT THIS PRINTER IS First and foremost this is a review for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102. As it says in the name it is a laser printer. This means that the printer produces extremely high quality text. However, this particular laser printer only prints in black ink.

It is a laser printer so it prints extremely high quality documents extremely quickly

It only prints in black and white; not colour and it is not wireless

The P1102w targets SOHOs and small- and medium-sized businesses and in this grouptest, it manages a fair few distinctions.
