I have one, and I really like it. The only disadvantage is that it only prints 1500 pages per cartridge and it doesn't tell me when the toner is low so I don't know until a batch of has finished printing and I check the document. Many times, I have printed a set of 60 or 70 pages only to reprint them again using a new cartridge. I have another printer now and use the HP P1006 as a back-up. I also now refill the cartridges myself. When I first ordered it, it was new and there were not any compatible cartridges for it. Now there are and they are reasonably priced. Doesn't take up much room and, so far, very dependable.
