Product: HP Color LaserJet 2840
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi everyone,

 

I've been using my Color LaserJet CM2320nf for a while and it's been working just great! But, I just today got a LaserJet 2840 for free!

 

So, I need to decide which printer to keep for myself and which to pass on to a family member.

 

My CM2320 is three years newer (2010) and has printed a total of over 150K pages but the 2840 (2007) has only printed a total of about 600 pages since new!

 

Both are network ready, MFP printers. Both are large, heavy and noisy. 

 

Both will work on our Windows and Mac computers (all printing via the network).

 

So, any suggestions on which would be the better printer for me to keep?

 

Thanks for your advise in advance!
Larry.

Keep the newer machine.

If it hasn't already the 2840 will probably develop a problem where it will only print yellow on pages and will require some effort on your part to repair.

The problem I refer to happens due to age not page count.

You might also want to check the print speed on the 2840 it is very slow on color prints.
