Checking out the HP LaserJet 2420 printer using HP 2420 printer toner cartridge will quickly show a prospective customer that Hewlett-Packard has made yet another model aimed squarely at the heart of small office/networked workgroup market and it largely succeeds. It combines excellent print speed and print quality together to deliver a model that actually isn't all that expensive, relatively-speaking.

For the most part, one might want to consider the 2420 as being a suitable workhorse printer for a networked workgroup or small office environment. It can handle almost all of its print tasks with little trouble and seems to be one of the stronger printers in this segment of the market. It can print 30 pages per minute, also pleasing most any business person needing good productivity across the board.

Additionally, the HP cartridges also delivers a very nice end product, meaning that the quality of the printed material will be excellent across the board. With a 1,200 x 1,200 dots-per-inch print resolution, there'll be little complaint from any users or from the people who end up having to read or view anything printed by this device. HP is justifiably known for its print resolution, by the way.

Much of this quality embedded within the 2420 Hewlett-Packard is because of one of the manufacturer's image enhancement technology suites that Hewlett-Packard makes use of within almost all of its laser printers. As well, everything going on with the printer will be handled by a 400 MHz processor that keeps the 32 MB of memory humming along smoothly, delivering print when and where it's needed.

When it comes to connectivity, the 2420 already wins out just by the fact that it features a couple of different ways to connect it to a network or even a single computer. There's a parallel port, which is aimed more at more traditional and older networks, while a high-speed USB connection also exists, though the purchaser of the printer will also have to buy a separate USB cable.

In terms of what the LaserJet 2420 can print out on, it's the case that just about any sort of paper stock or media type including transparencies, envelopes, bond paper or even recycled paper can be ran through the machine. Many other printers can't make this claim, as well as being unable to claim that they can hold up to 350 sheets of paper on board. You will find that 250 of those sheets fit into a single auto load input tray, by the way.

The LaserJet 2420 is certified to run on Windows Vista, and it can make use of various other Windows platforms and Mac OS 9.X or later and 10.X or later. It'll be a very easy printer to join to most any platform, in other words. Really, it will do fine on Windows 98 and later, so there should be little concern about the operating system currently being run.

Taken in its entirety, and considering that a printer of such high-speed capacity can go for around $500 before any discounts and will be exceptionally durable (it features a 75,000 page per month duty cycle) it'll be hard to find much to fret over when it comes to the HP LaserJet 2420 printer. It works well as a personal printer or a networked workgroup printer, too, making it doubly attractive to many potential customers.
