Amazon.com Product Description
The HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One delivers fast black-and-white printing, copying, and faxing and color scanning?all in a compact design that's perfect for workgroup applications. Providing up to 15 ppm printing in 1,200 dpi effective resolution, with just a 10-second wait for the first page out, the HP3030 features a powerful 240 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, and compatibility for PC and Mac users alike.

Copying is achieved at up to 600 x 600 dpi resolution. Speed is up to 15 cpm, with just 12 seconds to the first page out. The unit offers adjustable contrast, reduction and enlargement from 25 to 400%, and up to 99 copies at one time. The HP 3030 has a built-in V.34 fax modem for easy workgroup faxing, with 120 programmable speed dial locations and up to 110 pages of memory (2 MB). High-quality, color scanning at up to 9600 dpi enhanced resolution (600 dpi optical) in full 24-bit color supports everything from documents to photographs.

The unit accepts a wide range of media types and sizes and features versatile handling options?a 150-sheet input tray, 10-sheet priority input tray, and a 50-sheet auto-document feeder (ADF). You can choose between flatbed or sheet-fed operation for copying, faxing, and scanning. For single documents or special items, you will likely select the 3030's letter-sized glass surface for easy flatbed operation, while larger multi-page jobs that don't require observation lend themselves well to the ADF.

The HP LaserJet 3030 offers both USB 2.0 and parallel connectivity. Toner replacement is easy, thanks to a single print cartridge. The unit is Energy Star compliant and comes with everything you'll need to get set up quickly (except cables). It is backed by a one-year warranty.

1 out of 5 stars It's great "home" photocopy machine   December 19, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Ever since I bought this so called all in one I started having nothing but problems. Lousy software that has patches on top of patches, on top of fixes that do not fix a thing.
Buy it if you are looking for a copy machine, but if you are looking for a printer or a scanner then you should be looking somewhere else.
Don't make the same mistake I did...you are going to regret it.



2 out of 5 stars HP gone way downhill   October 24, 2006
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I had an HP LaserJet 4MP for about a decade before it finally went. I doubt that I will get that kind of service from this machine. I also had a Xerox b&w WorkCenter for copying that went about a year later. same concerns. i got this primarily to replace the copier. With this HP the toner cartridges go in no time. The scanning is slightly askew, and there is some color distortion. Also, the scanner utility is pretty inept. The print drivers do not function properly, preventing my up-to-date Windows XP from going to sleep mode. HP was once a symbol of dependabilty.


2 out of 5 stars Nice features but several problems   May 26, 2006
  7 out of 8 found this review helpful

In many ways I really like this all in one, it's does great copying, printing, scanning in all ways except that it often prints slightly crooked on the paper, off by a small but noticeable amount. HP tried over the phone to help me resolve this with no success. Since I have other printers, I learned to live with this until the machine died recently. HP sent me a refurbished replacement which after about a year of ownership I was happy to do, they charged $34 for a temporary warranty "uplifting", no problem with that. However, I am sorry to report that this refurbished version has the same page misalignment problem as the last one. Yes, I've checked my power supply, use HP paper and toner, etc. This is just an unfortunate and non-trivial defect for this otherwise fine printer.


1 out of 5 stars A Huge disappointment, and a sick feeling, $500 wasted!!   October 10, 2005
  16 out of 21 found this review helpful

The 3030 does not work scanning with Acrobat. I have contacted HP multiple times and still no success. They don't even try. The Brother machine it replaced worked flawlessly. HP claims they do not have Acrobat for testing, and do not support it with their products??? At 3 months old the machine also developed a document feeding problem which HP claimed was "Not their problem". I use only HP paper and supplies!!! Finally after several angry calls, they sent out some parts for me to replace. Still intermittent document feeding. Then they charged me $35 to send a replacement unit under warranty!!!!! Overall recomendation: STAY AWAY FROM HP, Poorly designed, poorly tested, and poorly supported. Brother supplies may cost a lot, but at least the product works!!!! I want my Brother back!!!!

Complaining that a device like this doesn't scan as well as your old single-function scanner is a little like complaining how a Lexus RX330 SUV doesn't corner as well as your '92 sports car. The LJ 3030 is designed to do many things pretty well as opposed to one thing very well.

If that is what you are looking for, I think it does a pretty good job. I use it for school and work two make presentations, scan documents, write papers, FAX statements, etc. In that respect, I think it does the job very well especially given its price. The print quality is quite good and compared to my old LJ 3150 it prints quite fast at 15-20ppm. The scanner is not top quality, but it is not bad and is good enough for what I need it for. Honestly, if you want professional quality color scanning for photos, you shouldn't be looking at an all-in-one in the first place. Printing photos on a B/W laser printer seems pointless to me. I've printed Powerpoint slides with graphics on them and they look quite reasonable.

I got printer setup to be shared on my home network pretty quickly and the Java-based configuration software is pretty easy to use.

The USB connection is nice and I have it running through the hub in my monitor instead of having to run it all the way back to my PC.

The print recognition software which converts scanned documents to editable MS Word files works pretty well for typed docs, but obviously not well for handwritten ones.

Overall, I am quite happy with it although I wish the extra USB 2.0 cable which is not included wasn't so expensive.
