HP Misrepresents Performance
I really had a bad time with HP and the MFP M130nw printer which uses the 17A toner cartridge. The anticipated yield (and HP quote) is about 1600 pages.I got as a maximum 1000 pages. I do not use the printer for heavy toner use. I just print normal letters and copies of data from the internet etc. I think I am an average and typical user. With the old and the rep...

Nice features
Have had HP laser printers for some time now. This printer is replacing one that was a workhorse for years. I use the wireless feature and it responds quickly. The copy feature is very fast and very handy.
It had some quirks early on.. on several occasions it would only print a partial page, then not print the remaining documents in the queue. On other occasions...

not working
Since installing I keep getting a message that there is a problem with the drum.
I have taken it out and put it back and still unable to print.

Response from Staples :
Hello,
I am sorry that you are getting a error message about the drum. That sounds frustrating!
I don't think the cartridge is causing the message though. It seems like the drum has a problem now.

Easy to install
Once i figured out that i had to keep the top closed so I could lift up the whole cover assembly, installation was a snap.

An expensive but necessary fix.Only comment related to the situation, is as soon as I installed this. The printer toner cartridge says it's out... It should have been on the list of Items that HP checks.

STILL IN THE BOX
Even though Ive been seeking a Low Toner for over two months, the original just keeps printing and printing. Once I get not the new one, I'll have to write another review.

online purchase of toner
The parking at Staples / Bureau en Gros in my area is terrible. The online order is great and I will use all the time now.

Not happy with cartridges!
I get disgusted everytime I have to purchase toner. None of it lasts even close to the expected sheet per toner number. Why can't the toner canister be clear so that the user knows that it is full upon purchase and can track the use. Printer cartridges are outrageously expensive. Thankfully there are suppliers who sell "refills" at about 1/4 the price of the HP ...
