After long searching and comparing my decision fell on the LaserJet PRO200. My condition for a printer are as follows:
- Private use
- WLAN - Possibility
- Color printing
- (Quite good) photo printing option
- No high, continuous use
- Copy function
- Intregation in a network with Windows, iOS and Android
If you can call it as quite humane printing costs and very good reviews made me tend to this printer. We arrived the carton I was speechless. He's just huge with almost 26 kg, it is also not a lightweight. At first I was shocked by the installation instructions a little. Felt 30 pages it was thick but that was not a thing because for every language there was a single page and the instructions had very many languages had. In the area of installation with integration in our wireless network was very easy. Once the printer is connected via USB to the computer. CD in the PC and install. After ten minutes the entire printer was already set up and the cable could be removed. But first had to be removed the mandatory cartridge fuses and also some films had removed werden.die installation on devices running iOS or Android is also done with the installation of the HP AiO remote. In addition, Apple Air Print is installing products therefore already done.
But some things I find funny. Officially, the LaserJet is indeed performed as a laser printer for professional life. Then surprised me two things at the thought. Why need a geweblich unused printer USB port for printing images from a USB stick? Ok, since you can also store data on it that can be scanned. And second. What lost on so a printer apps that come from Playmobil or Disney? So I take it from that time is also available for HP more people like me, will be sold for this printer. Although the (few) Apps are really funny.
The printer is first just huge. While my old printer stand out on the cabinet, on which they stand little it is with the P200 rum differently. He is so powerful that not even notice the closet now. From a material fro the printer is working dibasic. It shows when one pushes out the toner charging. This is still working as a high-quality as the flap of the much more expensive high-end printer. What is a little but kept simple, is the USB Anschuss. He has been intrigued forward easily accessible but somehow inexpensive housing. The upper part of the scanner with the item collection is in a heavy design what I have already experienced worse. Puck but I find the 150-sheet paper tray too small fancy.
What I personally very well resolved is the touch screen to control the printer. That is not many buttons around fighting must actually speak to me properly. But what I thought at the beginning of the menu is too complicated. But the lay back a little because one learns even more and that can be done because it is not bad either. Negative is also the pressure feeling of the screen, which does not reach a modern smartphone. The change of the four toner cartridges is very easy done. It works a charging front of the printer and pulling down a XXL-charge out in the stuck toner. That is already a spectacular sight when the ark is opened.
Typographically I am very pleasantly surprised. As already described my decision was whether one can get a color laser printer on the print quality of 3,000 euros printer. But the HP will print a picture worse - but he does not. If I'm an x-any photo printouts is this quality with a normal inkjet printer more than comparable. Nowhere is there stripes represented the disturbing and also shades and gradients can be as in the original image 1 to 1. In the area of text print text remains crisp and clear with no fraying. If you want to use the LaserJet than Photocopier the printed image and the color display is also true to the original. Only scanned color gradients can then determines some major differences to the original. In a 10 page statement with text, tables and images, the printer did not show any weaknesses. Then again, a photograph. In our zoo two babies a leopard sneaking around. I was a next of two from nearby photografieren and have printed out as this as a curiosity. And the result is - you can see almost every hair of the fur so so in detail what I hätte.ihn not counted
For mobile devices, there are apps that you can control your printer from anywhere. But here you can ask the question whether this is due to or not? If I take the ePrint app, with which I can print from anywhere in the world with Internet access something on my personal printer to me the question is allowed? Why is that? If I'm in Mallorca on the beach I do not think so after about it - Oh that must now be printed. In addition, it is questionable how many times you with a tablet which scans and prints. But to all the doomsayers, I had the ePrint app used times. Again, I have to say that you can quickly and easily print things about this way. And AirPrint works fine but this feature can be found only in the second moment in Apple (under the Forward icon).
I had written that for me the menu control in the printer is too complicated. But that's what the printer's own control page, which can be reached when you enter the IP of the LaserJet in the address bar of Firefox. Here you have all the settings that you presented simply and clearly needs. Interesting what the printer is recorded what was printed or scanned.
In the area of coverage of the toner itself has to show how far you go there with the respective toners. Now, after almost 100 pages that were printed in all forms of black toner shows a fill level of just under 75% while the rest still moves around the 95% fill level. Feels like I was going to say that you will not make it with the black toner, the 700-page coverage. With the colored toners but the range will be to create thick.
My Conclusion:
For the casual user the absolute LaserJet is a too big appliance. But can print a user of its 100 to 150 pages per month worbei but next month, perhaps nothing is printed (in my case the printer killer!) And who place and but on the slightly higher price is not frightened of this printer for me the Non -plus Ultra. With Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity and apps are not a device which does not get along with the P200.
Lookup on 03 April:
After a few months I have to manifest two quite small but negative things. As already written several times the printer suddenly jumps to about 10 minutes after turning on a life of its own to develop. He jumps in, makes noise and turns off after a short time from. He also has problems sometimes more to register with us on the network. After switching on again it finds the network but without problems.
