The HP Color Laserjet 2600n is a great entry level color laser printer that does just as well at home as it does in the home office. While the color output of the 2600n is not perfect, for most common tasks and office projects it is more than adequate. Color photo printing is lackluster, and the speed of printing is below average, but retailing at less than $300 means that the buyer can't expect perfection.

Built in Print Server and Ethernet Networking Capabilities

The "n" in 2600n stands for networked. This printer can instantly be hooked up to a local area network via a router and be used by any computer on it (once you load the HP drivers on the local computers). The built in print server is a godsend for home users that have traditionally been forced to share their printer via Windows. With the built in print server the only computer that must be turned on is the one that is sending the print job. If the user has a wireless router users can send the 2600n a print job without even having to plug in a single wire.

Print Quality and Toner Life:

The black and white print quality of the HP2600n is stellar, however color prints (especially when done on plain paper) are not so hot. Even when using special photo paper the 2600n prints are inferior to almost every ink jet printer on the market. However, graphics and line art that would be found on mailings and most office documents reproduce very cleanly. It is only in printing photos that the 2600 shows any weakness.

Overall the 2600n is a solid, well designed printer that will work well in almost any situation EXCEPT for when photographic realism is needed. Check out the review of the 2600n I did over at Suite101.
