We have had 2025n networked for about 10 users for almost a year. Positives are ease of dwelling up and quality of printing. It took honest minutes to station up in a largely mac (a couple windows) environment. The print quality is qualified. The strongest negative is ink usage. We've not monitored the page volume, but we've been replacing toner cartridges about every two months.
I bought several Epson ink jet printers over the last few years. 80% of the time I was fair printing dim text, hardly any pictures. Clogged nozzles and high costs for the ink made me proceed to a LaserJet printer. All was well and then the wife said I could upgrade and go to a color printer.
I bought the printer, connected to my 24" iMac directly by USB. I did not install the driver included on the CD but I was smooth able to add it as a printer. My test print worked radiant.
I them moved the printer to my Time Capsule and place it up there. Again, my test print worked fair. Now my ball and chain can also print to the printer from her MacBook.
I will never go wait on to an ink jet printer. The print quality is kindly.
My one explain with this printer is that I have not been able to station up some kind of draft setting so that I could set aside ink. If I do, I will update the review.
Like any other printers that I work with I glean that this printer is a nightmare. I have no quarms about setting up this printer as a locally installed usb printer, but failed miserably as a network printer. Our Windows 2003 DHCP server sees 18 hexadecimal mac address instead of 12. I have a nightmare when I try to install the driver to the server, server would freeze, and I had to reboot the server to accomplish the installation. HP Webjetadmin only sees the NPXXXXXX name and not the name that our dhcp server would provide. Lastly, when I updated the firmware trying to fix the dilemma, the mac address of the printer actually changed. I would recommend that you select for standalone printer only, and not for networking.
