We just bought a 500Q, 1000Q and 1500Q in January. Nice printers! The users love them and they are in the office area.....no complaints about noise or anything and they love the fact that they are faster than the 256x printers (plus so much quieter!).

A very nice printer: good print quality and VERY quiet. We had one in an office environment, and this 800 LPM impact printer was quieter by far than the copier next to it! -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Tracy [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 3:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: 256x Gone, Is LM615 Gone Too? O.K. It looks like HP is back in the line printer business with the 500P, 500Q, 1000Q, and 1500Q models. (They look like Printronix to me.) Has anyone started using them? Any problems?
