Good printer - watch the cost of toner
This printer sits very comfortably on my home network. It was easy to connect and set up and print quality is good (not photo quality). It easily manages the light duty cycle I expose it to, and is a lot less trouble than the ink jet it replaced. Bear in mind that the toner is expensive. It requires 4 cartridges (black + 3 colour), if you buy new HP products, these cost around £50 each. You can almost buy a new printer for the cost of the cartridges.

Color Laserjet 2600N - Great
This is a great value printer and the quality is really quite good.

It has a built in webpage so you can see exactly how much toner is left and this also makes the printer very easy to configure.

Prints envelopes and on card without issue.

Approx 2500 pages per toner cartridge

A networked marvel - but now forced to replace
I have had my 2600n for around 2 years and have been very pleased with the results. Sadly I've recently been confronted with ghosting problem which seems to be related to the 'lifetime' fuser. I'd say that 2 years and just 5000 prints is not exactly a lifetime.

I reckon I've averaged 7p a page - I produce lots of full-colour stuff -but this won't improve with time so I might as well replace the printer (yet another piece of technical kit which is not cost-effective for me to fix). I'll probably go for another 2600N (at 200 pounds) as it comes with full cartridges (so printer itself is basically free) and I can use cartridges I already have.

Note: There are a few comments relate to being forced to replace cartridges if one runs out (printer refuses to work). This is easily over-ruled using "Cartridge Out Override" option and you can get a lot more out of your cartridges (option is well hidden but described in manual).
