HP Laserjet M1319F MFP Printer

If you need one machine that will scan, fax, and print sharp B&W laser. This machine does all these very well and quickly. The drivers that come with it are easy to learn for the scanning also.

This printer is not very promising at first glance. It seems to be bigger than necessary and hanging the phone off the side as they did means it falls off all the time.Now it is no longer in production and you get that sinking feeling thinking about whether HP will keep the drivers current as Microsoft keeps churning out new operating system versions that complicate installation and maintenence of older model printers. But we have two of these now and they just keep working. We get a good deal on the cartridges so that works out well. You can do duplex printing if you really want. And the fax works reliably too. We actually went hunting through the highways and byways of the Internet to snap up one of the last new models of this before they were history.Will I regret the effort? Based on my experience with our first, I don't think so. I have a weakness for printers that just keep pounding the work out year after year without any drama.

I had an HP Fax 1010 for my home office, and it was a trouper - always worked great. But then HP had a recall due to potential fire hazard, and offered a rebate on several of their faxes and multifunction fax/printer/scanners.So I went for the M1391F MFP. I don't really care about printing - I've got a color duplex laser printer for that. I wanted something that would fax, copy, and scan with an auto-feed.Here's what it's good at:1. Scanning letter-size pages (although their Mac software could use some work).2. Copying letter-size pages.3. Faxing letter-size pages to U.S. recipients.And the document feed works great.Here's what it won't do:1. Scan legal-sized pages2. Ring or make any kind of noise when it gets an incoming call, from a fax machine, cell phone, or land line. Even with all the volume settings turned to high.3. Receive an incoming fax or phone call. At all. From anywhere.The capper tonight was that I had to fax a time-sensitive document to New Zealand, and this piece of work thinks the NZ dial tone is a busy signal and won't connect.I tried to access HP's live chat help desk, but nobody picked up in over a half-hour. So now I'm having an extended, hours-between-installments email correspondence with Nigel from Bangalore, and he's asking me to verify the model number and what version of Windows is on the attached computer and am I using USB. Well, there is no computer attached, Nigel, I'm using this as a detached fax machine. But as someone who's written printer drivers for your own company's printers, and fax software for your competitors, I can assure you that if the attached computer is preventing this unit from receiving faxes or recognizing international dial tones, you need to look for another job.I dug out the old 1010 and it sent the fax just fine.This unit has a wonderful feature set. If only it worked. It's useless to me, and I'm going to have to start looking for a fax machine that works.When I was in grad school over 20 years ago, HP sold the best lab equipment money could buy. You knew if you got an HP gas chromatograph, or infrared spectrometer, or oscilloscope, you had the highest quality available on the planet.Now... I've bought probably a dozen HP laser printers since 1990, and never even looked at another brand, with one costing over $10,000. But after this hunk of junk, I will certainly look at alternatives in the future.

It definitely affects my confidence in HP printers. I used many HP printers in the past. This is the first one gave me so many problems. Give you one example: after installation I found it can only print portrait not landscape. After three sessions with HP technical persons, all together about 6 hours, it was finally fixed without knowing why. I am not going to list all the other problems. Some of them are minor. It is finally working at the moment. But I am worried about other surprises could hit me anytime.Nevertheless, my experience with HP service personnel were pretty good. They were as patient as I was during the conference sessions. One of their supervisor or manage call me afterwards, asking if there is any other problems need help or want to exchange a new one. I told him if more problems occurs I probably would like to change to a new model, perhaps a more expensive and better one. I am still not very sure I should keep it.Chung Ting, Los Altos Hills, CA

Bought one refurbished that worked nicely for about 5 years. Just bought a second refurbished machine for $80 because I had $90 of laser cartridges on hand (otherwise I would have bought a newer one). Given the age, I would not recommend buying this one as its cartridges are not presently used by many machines.

This machine is a work horse and is our 2nd one. The first one we've had for nearly 7 years and is still running strong. We use the scanning, copying & printing functions (we do not fax).This machine was refurbished and arrived extremely clean and had everything we needed to intall it on the computer and be up and running in a matter of minutes.We highly recommend this printer!!

I purchased this printer to replace a HP3015. Being a novice at technology, it was easy to set up and didn't have to worry about drivers, etc. Plus the price was much better than I found in the local stores or other websites. The no shipping make it a win-win for me.

These are a wonderful machine. I've bought 6 of them used and each one is such an asset to us.
