HP 3390 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet 3390 laser printer is a multifunction device designed for the small or medium office environment. It has fast speeds and a quick first page out time. Its built-in networking makes it easy to share.

The HP 3390 laser printer is not exactly the prettiest printer on the market, like the HP 2500 toner printer. Its dark gray and beige design looks a bit dated, and its scanning unit looks as if it is perched somewhat precariously on top of the printing unit. Aesthetics aside, the design is very functional. Its control panel is well laid out, with easy access to all necessary features. The unit does have a lot of buttons on its control panel, which may be overwhelming for some users, but they are grouped in such a way as to make it easier to find the function you are looking for once you are used to the layout.

Paper handling is 250 sheets, but an optional 250-sheet additional tray can add more capacity if needed. The automatic document feeder can hold up to 50 pages for automatic scanning, copying, and faxing. There is also a flatbed scanning surface for media that won't fit in the feeder.

HP LaserJet 3390 toner cartridges come in two sizes. The standard printer toner cartridge has a capacity of 2,500 pages, while the high-yield laser toner cartridge has a capacity of 6,000 pages. HP 3390 toner cartridges are the same part number as Laserjet 1320 toner cartridges, keeping costs lower for both models.

The unit can connect by USB 2.0 or the built-in ethernet port. With its built-in networking capability, it can be easily connected and shared across a network of computers, and nearly every one of its functions can be easily accessed and used remotely. Print speed is quite fast, at around 22 pages per minute. First page out time is around 11 seconds, so print jobs begin printing very quickly. Print quality is excellent, as the LaserJet 3390 has a 1200 dpi printing engine for sharper, more detailed prints.

Overall, the HP LaserJet 3390 is an impressive multifunction device. It has virtually every function an office would need wrapped into a fast, high-quality machine. In addition HP toner is widely available in both money saving compatible and genuine versions.
