So it may not be the absolute top of the line when it comes to printing, but it sure isn’t bad either. If you are looking for a small printer for your bedroom or for sending your kids back to school, this could be something to look into. HP is offering their LaserJet P1005 for $129.99, but right now Newegg is selling them for a mere $49.99. (Plus $9.99 shipping) However, if you use the coupon code EMCAHCKBC, you can even get rid of that shipping charge. Hard to beat that price!

Users rated the printer 4 out of 5 “eggs” on the Newegg site. The printer is a 600-dpi laser that knocks out 15 pages per minute, and has a 150-sheet input tray. It has a USB interface, although the cable isn’t included.  It’s compatible with both Windows and Mac systems.  HP does supply a starter toner cartridge that should yield approximately 750 pages, and the actual replacement cartridges will give you double that number. Obviously, toner is kind of expensive, and since we can’t change the fact that printer consumables always are, it never hurts to get the best deal possible on the printer itself. And $50 for a laser is pretty hard to beat.

Totally compact, measuring at 14 inches by 9 by 8, this printer will work well in lots of small spaces. Like those tiny dorm rooms that magically need to fit a bed, a dresser, a computer, a fridge, four humans, and a partridge in a pear tree.
