You can get the HP LaserJet 1022 for $99.99 from Office Depot if you act fast. The 1022 normally goes for $199.99, but there is a $100 rebate on HP printers over that amount. If you miss out on the rebate, you can still get $30 off from Office Depot by using the coupon code 52530833, which is good until 4/24. There would no shipping on this printer because they offer free shipping for orders over $50.

The LaserJet 1022 is HP’s entry level monochrome laser printer, so it is not packed with a whole lot of features. It is basically what reviewers would call a “no-frills” machine. But this is expected since it is one of the cheaper models available and basically one of the only sub-$300 models available from HP. The LaserJet 1022 is a pretty fast machine and according to the specifications, you can get your first page out in 8 seconds thanks to HP’s Instant Technology. The pages per minute speed is listed at 19, which isn’t all that different from more expensive HP models. For instance, the HP LaserJet 1320 is rated at 22ppm and lists at $399.99. The LaserJet 1022’s 250-sheet tray is pretty standard and it prints at up to 1200 x 1200 resolution, the same as the LaserJet 1320.

The downside to this machine is that it is not really meant for more than one user. It has limited memory and can only handle 8,000 pages per month, which sounds like a lot but in reality is on the lower end of the scale for laser printers. Others in this price range can handle anywhere from 10,000-20,000 pages per month and more expensive machines can handle a monthly volume of 200,000 pages. The monthly volume number isn’t meant to be that important, since you would have to print around 250 pages per day every day for a month to reach 8,000. It is just meant to give people an idea of what kind of user the printer is geared towards.

So, if you are a fan of HP and can get one of these deals from Office Depot, then the LaserJet 1022 would be a good deal for you. If you miss out on the deal or just don’t like HP machines for whatever reason, then you might want to look into something like the Brother HL-5140, a $200 machine that offers better features in pretty much every area.
