It is a well-made, entry-level, compact, professional-looking printer for the home or small office. The toner refill kit fills up the cartridge in less than half a minute, and provides for up to 2,500 pages at just about $16 per toner. On the flip side, it prints slower at roughly half the speed of the HP LaserJet Pro M404 series, yet produces sharp text pages. This translates to a smaller printer, lower electricity consumption, and the lowest, per-page cost of any HP laser printers in its class. With that said, this printer is entirely focused on being more environmentally friendly by using less parts and energy wherever possible.

The printer comes with enough toner for up to 5,000 pages. Without having yet printed enough to “refill” the toner, I cannot base my opinion on the reliability or quality of this new, “cartridge-free” system. Vendors cannot influence the review, neither a positive nor negative evaluation affects membership, and item’s value may be taxable income. Touted by HP as the “World’s first, cartridge-free laser printer”, the HP Neverstop Multi-Function Laser Printer 1202w is an interesting one that could potentially revolutionize the industry with its eco-friendly footprint, toner “replacement” cost, and per-page printing expense.ĭisclosure: This product was received through Amazon Vine, an Amazon invite-only program offered to its most helpful reviewers for an honest, unbiased, unpaid opinion. One thing is common, however: HP is the most widely used in the business world and for good reasons!

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the “family computer guy”) and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons.
