HP has had shortages on their laserjet line for months and the Kyocera FS4020DN has been a nice replacement for the HP Laserjet P4015 Laser Printer.  They have differences you may want to be aware of.  Here are some of the basic differences you should be aware of. DRUM — Kyocera uses a ceramic drum, which tends to last a long time and makes the printers cost of ownership be a lot lower than HP.  However, if it is bad, you will want a technician to replace this componet (rated at 300,000 pages) instead of just changing the toner cartridge. COST — The Kyocera is nearly 40% lower in price than the HP Laserjet series DRIVERS — Everyone, and I mean everyone, supports HP printers, Kyocera can struggle in specialty applications.  you’ll want to test a Kyocera if you have specialty software. We feel Kyocera has a compelling story, we just want to make sure you know the benefits and limitations before taking the plunge!]]> http://laserprintercenter.com/kyocera-fs4020-product-option-vs-the-hp-laserjet-p4015-laser-printer/feed 0 Can You Gamble on HP Laserjet Printers Becoming Available Soon? http://laserprintercenter.com/can-you-gamble-on-hp-laserjet-printers-becoming-available-soon http://laserprintercenter.com/can-you-gamble-on-hp-laserjet-printers-becoming-available-soon#comments Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:19:28 +0000 jleupo http://www.laserprintercenter.com/laser-printer-news/?p=93

You Can Gamble on Your HP Arriving Soon...

I have heard from Xerox, Ricoh, and Lexmark that HP has been on a massive supply constraint.  Now I don’t always believe what one manufacturer says about another as they are not always right on the mark.  I decided to go ahead and take the 3 most popular HP Laserjet Printers that I deal with and see what my lead time was.  Here are the 3 HP printers I choose. HP LaserJet 2055dn (CE459A) — Status is currently “call.”  What does this mean?  Generally this means that the supplier has no idea when to expect them and that we will get a random “2 week” lead-time which invariably changes. HP Laserjet P3005DN — (Q7815A) – Again, got the same “call status.  This is fairly disconcerting if your company needs a Laserjet printer right away.  Finally I decided to check on the HP Color Laserjet 3525dn (CC469A) — Again the same result.   Now, not everything of HP”s is on backorder.  This was just 3 examples of popular models I checked on because I was simply curious.  It appears the manufacturer’s are not lying.  So, what do you do?
  1. You can wait it out if you really like to stick with HP printers.  Now this is necessary for some due to software, etc…  If you are in this boat, build a contingency plan for the immediate future and get ready to wait out this storm.
  2. You can pick comparable models from HP’s competitors.  The only issue with this is that HP’s shortages are beginning to head downstream and hit the other manufacturers.
  3. You can give us a call and we can see what is in stock and what best meets your needs in this trying time!
