HP Laserjet Printer (toner) question?

At work I have an HP Laserjet 1022 that uses toner. It seems like the toner needs to be replaced almost monthly. Is this a common thing? I do print a lot off of this printer--probably 300-500 pages a week.





I am getting the third degree at work about the amount of toner that ';I'; am using...I guess they think I'm stealing it! LOL





I just wanted someone to see if they can help me find information about this printer and the amount of toner it needs or how much one toner should last.





Best answer should direct me to a site about this printer. EASY TEN POINTS, PEOPLE!!!!





Thanks in advance %26gt;^.^%26lt;HP Laserjet Printer (toner) question?
Hello again Missy.





This is a common problem... people buy these little pc's of crap because they are being cheap and want to ';save money';. In the long run, however, they are more expensive. They chew up consumables like a kid eating candy. Yeah, you get the printer cheap, but the Manufacturer makes it's money off of you by you buying their pricey consumables wayyyyyy too frequently.





Here is part of the review taken directly from CNET.....





';The good-looking HP LaserJet 1022 offers quality prints and a small size to please space-strapped solo users and students. While this machine's sturdy good looks add a professional air to your work environment, its noisy operation may give you headaches, and the LaserJet 1022's pricier-than-average toner refills may give bargain seekers pause. If you need a basic but quality printer for reports and graphs, the plucky LaserJet 1022 is up to the challenge, although its paper-handling and printing options are too limited for power users. You can pay extra for versions of this printer with either embedded Ethernet or wireless networking capabilities, but while this machine can handle light workgroup printing, you'll need a beefier model to juggle a heavy work flow or lots of graphics prints. We find the HP LaserJet 1320 a better value, even for an extra $100; its built-in double-sided printing alone makes the expense worthwhile.





The 1022 suffers from a few operating glitches, such as overall noisiness--notably loud, grinding sounds when it runs out of paper. And toner runs a costly 3.5 cents a page with the $69.99 toner unit, according to HP's estimates. The EconoMode setting conserves toner, but you might prefer a comparable printer with cheaper consumables, such as the Okidata Oki B4250..............';





It doesn't always save money to buy cheap........ ;)

These little printers are great for somone who prints 10 or 20 things a month. They truely suck, however, in a work environment!!! They simply aren't made to be an office machine.

Why don't you switch to Compatible Ink Cartridges/Toners rather buying the original ones. They cut the cost by more than 50% and that's a lot of saving. You can buy more than 2 cartridges with that very same amount you are currently spending in buying originals. The best place i know to buy Compatible ones is http://www.Ask4Ink.com


Rates are Cheap, Quality top class. Now don't say you want more...!!
hello





this is link for HP Laserjet 1022
It's not the printer....it's the cartridge.





This cartridge has a yield of 2,000 pages (based on 5% coverage). I can guarantee that you are printing documents that cover more than 5% of the page, so you can expect less than 2,000 pages per cartridge.





300-500 pages weekly? 1200-2000 monthly...one cartridge per month.

Well, here's HP's site for that printer.





The printer's duty cycle is rated at 500-2000 pages a month which seems about what you're doing. 2000 pages per toner cartridge seems about right (12A gets around 2000 pages) unless you're printing ';full'; pages and a lot of dark areas. You can expect a little less in that case.





Try looking for the darkness adjustment and lighten it up a touch.
The average page yield according to HP is 2000 per toner cartridge. Not the best but it seems like you're getting close to it. It's normal but you may want to look at one of the better machines if you want to save on ink. But since the company's paying for the ink I don't think it's the biggest problem.
