 A good economical choice September 16, 2006

This is a quick, quiet machine, and so far it works for me. A relatively new model, I was told it was the replacement for the 1020, but I'm not sure that's the case. In any event, it is extremely simple to set up and operate, and it doesn't take up much space. It's a big improvement over my inkjet, an HP deskjet 960c. I figure my cost is about 5 cents a page. So far, highly recommended.
UPDATE: 10/25/07 Over a year later, this little no-frills printer is cranking away as problem-free as when I just set it up. I'm a teacher and give it a pretty regular workout each week--easily 100-150 copies. I can't be sure, but I think I paid more than what it's selling for now. If and when it wears out, I'd buy the same model in a flash. Great value for the money.
Excellent, inexpensive, but... November 5, 2006

Excellent printer, very inexpensive, set up in 3 minutes, runs like a champ, very quiet, almost jam-proof, quiet small. The only wrinkle is in the small print: you need a USB printer cable (does not come in the box) and if you don't own one, be prepared to trot out to your local Staples to buy one if you want to use this puppy.
Other than that minor annoyance, I remain very impressed that a printer I would have expected to pay $1,000 for just a few years ago can be had for so little, and in such a small package today.
Pros: price, speed, quality, simplicity, size
Cons: no cable included, holds only ~150 sheets in tray
Price/Performance - about as good as it gets.
Highly impressed....up to now August 29, 2006

I am impressed by the performance of this machine, for the following reasons:
- easy to set up;
- very quiet;
- prints smoothly;
- manual duplex printing is a breeze;
- compared to my previous HP laser purchased some years ago that often got paper jam, this one is a real improvement.
My Kudo to HP for a job well done !!!!
Solid workhorse and good choice for the home. November 8, 2006

I recently purchased the HP 1018 after much agonizing whether to go for a B&W laser printer or a multi function for the home. I came to the conclusion that 98% of my needs would be met with a fast and cheap printer - for the odd requirements of scanning old photos or copying important documents, I could use the services at my office or a local Kinko's.
The HP 1018 met several requirements. First, its compact. Second, it's per page cost (thanks to being a laser and not an inkjet printer) is low. Finally, it prints pages fast (much much faster than any inkjet on the market). I generally need to print out itineraries, airline e-tickets, articles to read offline and therefore had no need of a color printer. Besides, the ability to add envelopes into the feeder is a nice touch, especially when sending out holiday greeting cards in bulk.
Small observations - The paper feeder/drawer will stay open and hence take up a few additional inches of space. There is no USB cable (shame on them trying to save a few pennies. The included disk tried hard to install all sorts of "freebie" software before succumbing to my stubbornness of refusing to do so (after this installing the drivers was a breeze.) The printer comes with a "introductory" toner cartridge good for 1000 pages (regular cartridges sold in retail are good for twice as many pages.)
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase. I was waiting for the price of laser printers to drop to around the hundred dollar level as well as get compact enough for use in the home and it was worth the wait. At a cost of under 5 cents a page (including paper and ink) its a steal.
Best of the cheap Lasers for 2006 January 4, 2007

[EDIT Sep/2008]:
Some sellers on Amazon have started charging $230 or more for this HP LaserJet 1018 printer (with shipping), and that's an outrageous price! Make sure you buy it from a seller who keeps the total price $150 or under, or else you are paying too much. If you are willing to spend $200+, then you can find a better printer than the 1018 in the same pricerange. To find the cheapest deal, just click on the "used & new available" link next to the price to see what the other sellers are charging.
[END OF EDIT]
I've spent hours researching cheap printers on computer forums, and I've found that most people rate the HP Laserjet 1018 as the best of the cheapo laser printers (Nov-Dec 2006).
In my personal experience it turned out to be much faster, quieter, cheaper, and higher quality than any other cheap (under $150) printer I've ever used, and I've tried about a dozen in that price range (mostly inkjets, but also some lasers). The cost per page is much lower than with inkjets, even if you refill your inktanks yourself. And you only have to replace the ink every few thousand pages on the laser, instead of every few hundred pages on inkjets. And HP's reliability is better than the other brands of laser printers.
Unless you need to print in color, this is the way to go for a cheapo printer.
