HP LaserJet Model Numbers

[steppinthrax]

So I'm in the process of replacing my old as hell HP LaserJet 4050N. It's served me well and I have upgraded it to the hilt with max memory, duplexer, and a JetDirect Card. However It's gotten so old and it's slow like a turtle in parsing these newer docs you'd send to it.

Anyway, I understand that HP's Laserjet model numbers don't necessarily mean the newer version. Example the HP Laserjet 5000 series is roughly around the same year frame as the 4000 series. What's the newer from the 4000 series and the next newer from that. I don't care for color laser printing. My min req is duplex printing, a full paper tray that can old 1 full reem and a second tray for envelopes etc... I also want wireless printing.

Yeah the 1100 is considerably older than the 1000. They have a weird system.

I THINK this is what you want:

d means duplex, w means wireless.

I have a 4050N right now, bought it cheap with a full toner and a few bad rollers, replaced all the rollers (I bought a complete kit of rubber bits) and maxed out the memory (disappointing that 90% went to ram drive) and put in a 10/100 jetdirect card. It goes from idle to printing in about 10 seconds, and very rare for anything to take a minute to print.

Keep in mind as newer faster models came out, tank build quality shifted to toy.

Are you sure you don't have a driver or wireless issue?
