Rating : - Fanstic unless you are using Linux!
I picked up the HP Laserjet when I started working full time from home. I am not sure what is up with the Amazon pricing, I picked my up brand new for around $120 from Best Buy on special, brand new in July 2007. The printer is a basic no-frills lazer printer that does a fantastic job.

At home it is working well with my Windows 2000, and Windows XP machines. I managed to get the drivers installed on Vista and that is fine although there do seem to be some glitchy incompatibilities. If I run out of paper when I am printing for example the popup that the printer driver sends up is not a regular window and comes with a Vista warning but other than that it works no problems - things seem fine with Vista SP1 as well. I have not been able to get this working with my Mac or CentOS -- drivers for Linux for this particular model seem to be hard to come buy however I have not looked very hard for the last year or so. The 1022 on the other hand seemed to be widely supported!

As it is the printer is setup as a shared network printer running from my vista box and my wife and I are having no problems with it at all. I understand you can find drivers online but I don't actually need to print from my Mac and its no big deal to print from Windows if I need to get an OpenOffice doc printed that I prepared on Linux.

Drivers aside once the printer is running it is great. The quality of the output is outstanding and it does what it is supposed to do.
