Strengths: Reasonably priced printer with all functionalities

Weaknesses: Scanning not up to the mark, large size is a problem

If you are used to small printers, then the HP LaserJet is likely to be a bit intimidating when you install it. However, as a black and white laser printer, the LaserJet 3050 is a superfast printer when it comes to both printing as well as copying. One can also enjoy the printer’s innate ability to be able to handle large printing jobs and though the 3050 is a bit noisy, you don’t mind it too much considering the price you are paying for a laser jet. Though it is not as cheap as the Officejet printers, it does manage to give users an excellent choice for laser printer in the black and white category.

The overall attractive printing of the laser jet is convincing enough for users to buy this all-in-one unit but do keep in mind that this is a large printer and a tall one as well which might not fit on to your computer table and will need separate provisions. Other than that, it is the price which makes it worthwhile and the overall cost of printing is also not very high if you use the draft mode frequently. The printer’s scanning however leaves much to be desired and if you have a regular requirement of scanning features, it is best that you opt for another printer. The printer is definitely recommended for anyone who is looking for document printing on a regular basis.
