HP 2830 Printer Review

HP is commonly known as one of the top producers of electronic equipment. Whether manufacturing personal handheld devices or large office machines, this company remains one of the best. Each year, hundreds of new laser printers are introduced to the market. Some are as basic as possible designed to handle simple printing needs and fit into limited budgets. Others are over-loaded with features that can be too complicated for the average user. The HP LaserJet 2830 is somewhere in the middle. This unit offers multiples functions, including printing, scanning, faxing and copying, but is still affordable and user-friendly.

There is a cyan, magenta, yellow and black HP 2830 toner cartridge. The color toners can each print up to 4,000 pages before expiring while the black LaserJet 2830 toner cartridge has the ability to print 5,000 pages. When replacement printer toner is needed, users have a variety of options. They can purchase OEM HP 2830 toner directly from the manufacturer or from third party vendors. Those alternative suppliers also offer remanufactured compatible LaserJet 2830 toner. This version will have the same yield and quality as the OEM, but is much more affordable.

The 2830 is compatible with the major operating systems typically found in a home or office environment. It has manual duplex printing capabilities which will reduce paper costs if used regularly. The paper capacity is 375 sheets and various paper types are compatible such as glossy paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels. The built-in memory is 96 MB but that can be upgraded to 224 MB if needed.

With a first page out time of 18 seconds shouldn't slow productivity first thing in the morning, but the 20 pages per minute output rate probably won't increase efficiency. Overall, the affordable HP 2830 toner keeps this unit within limited budgets and its user-friendly features and functions make it a good choice for most.
