Printer functioned great, only problem was is was covered with toner when I opened the box
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The main cable to hook it up was missing, which wasn't mentioned in the ad so it took me time to find one. It is yellowed/discolored, not as shown in the picture. It doesn't always pull the envelopes in correct to where I have to try them a couple times to get them to go. I do a lot of that kind of work, so this may not work for long. I'll make it work as long as I can.

Frankly, some of the inexpensive laser printers available at the office megastores and BestBuy just are too cheap to rely on for a home office set-up. Finding a used office-grade laser printer on ebay was perfect. For a bit more than the cost of a new OEM cartridge, I was able to obtain a reliable, industrial strength printer with 75% of the life of the cartridge and 60% of the drum and imager still available. Obviously, a potential buyer takes the risk of buying a faulty printing platform, so use the seller profiles and feedback to discern who is reliable and who should be avoided. I would concentrate on sellers of multiple printers rather than one-shot wonders. I purchased a flawed HP 1012 printer from the latter and now I have a parts printer with 90% of the life of the cartridge still available. Not good. But this 2200D is great. The only downside for me, as a Mac user, is I have been unable to to take advantage of the two-sided printing option that comes with this printer. Attaching my employer-provided Dell laptop (serviceable, but still a PC) to this printer allows me to access this feature. Overall, I am one happy camper with this purchase made late spring of this year.Read full review
Used first HP2200d for 10 years without need to service. Run about 1,000 copies per month. Gets about 3,500 sheets per toner cartridge on legal size paper. Recently purchased refurbished unit. Same quality but had some intermittent paper creasing problems. Seller furnished replacement fuser at no cost and excellent video as to how to install. Now getting super copies and anticipate years of trouble free uses. Product much more cost per copy efficient than any other black & white printer that I have seen.
I'm a cheap dude & after much research I bought a 2200dtn July 2008. Except for duplex jams & lan cards that kept failing, it served my family faithfully until July 2012. Then it emitted a terrible grinding noise like a plastic gear was stripped & I searched fruitlessly for the broken gear. The big IC on the lan card gets alternately really hot & then really cold & eventually the thermal stress breaks a few solder connections. Believe it or not, the fix is to put it in your oven at a temp just above the solder melting point for a little while & then let it cool down. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AJetDirect for the procedure. First time I did it, I thought this can't possibly work, but I had nothing to lose but a dead card. Brought it right back to life! The duplex jams turned out to be HP putting some sound dampening stuff on the solenoid that controls the duplex unit. After time, the stuff deteriorates & gums up the solenoid. There is a simple fix, replace the stuff with better stuff, see http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/28556 Great site & they sell enough of the better stuff to fix at least 5 printers for $10 including s/h. The reason these printers are so inexpensive is that HP sold a zillion of them & then came out with a new improved model & no one wanted to buy it because these were working so well. So the salesmen made everybody a deal to trade in their old 2200 for the new improved model. That filled HPs warehouses with 2200s & they probably needed the space & unleashed a flood of 2200s on the surplus marketplace. And as everybody knows, a flood of anything, even high quality printers ='s absurdly low prices. Industrial quality printers for the price of a toner cartridge. And all the IT departments flooded eBay with their now useless collection of used cartridges. I bought 10 & refilled them, a lifetime supply... Anyway, when my 4 year old (to me) 2200tdn failed, I already had lots of toner cartridges in the closet & knew how to work on it, so I bought not one but two! One was a 2200dtn & the other was a 2200d as I had all the parts to upgrade it to a 2200dtn (2200d + a HP 615n JetDirect EIO card (there are others, this just happens to be what my old printer had in it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetDirect for a complete list & their features) & the C7065 500 sheet feeder/tray 3 ='s a 2200dtn) And don't forget to max out the memory. Two C7845A 32MB DIMMs will set you back under $15 w/shipping & you will probably never see a 30017 out of memory error code. I haven't.Read full review
