Overview
As you know, laser printers use dry ink and the Ink Jet ones use cartridges with liquid inside. Those cartridges with liquid ink get dry in just a few days if the printer hasn't been used. A home user doesn't need the printer every day, so he should buy one that could be used for a longer period of time. Among those printers perfect for a home user, we can find the HP LaserJet 1020, which is very compact and light. It has 15 pages per minute printing speed. It has some features that allow HP LaserJet 1020 to print at 1200 dots per inch resolution.

Pros
It has a standard paper flip tray which can hold 150 sheets/15 envelopes with the size ranges between 3x 5 inches and 8.5 x 14 inches. It has only one single sheet multipurpose slot for transparencies, labels and many other things like that. This printer was made for home use, so you should not expect this printer to print high volumes. However, it can even handle large printing jobs, but the low paper capacity needs a very often refilling. As I said, this printer was designed for home users who will find that the 150 sheet capacity is barely enough for their printing needs. If you are looking for a printer which is fully capable of printing what a large business needs, you should definitely choose something else.

It weighs only 11 pounds, it is compact and
because of this fact it won't take up much space on your desk. Its dimensions
with the paper flip tray closed and without the dust cover in place are 14 x
9.5 inches. HP tried to reduce the warm up time of HP LaserJet 1020 by keeping
the fuser on, while the printer is in standby mode. Because of this fact, this
printer is able to start printing only after 10 seconds.
Its native printing resolution is 600 x 600 dots
per inch, but it is capable of creating 1200 dpi quality ones, because of HP's
FastRes 1200. It can even print nice photographs and the texts are relatively
sharp. Also, you will save toner and you will reduce the carbon footprint,
because of an eco-feature called Toner Save. The control panel is formed of 2
lights, and it has no buttons. Those lights are called Ready light and the
Attention light. However, the Attention light is so ambiguous, because you will
not make a difference between something like fatal error and a simply paper
empty.
Cons
HP LaserJet 1020 is a pretty slow printer. HP called it a laser printer, which should have a very high printing speed, but in fact its printing speed is lower than the one of an Ink Jet printer. If you do not know, the actual Ink Jet printers can reach a printing speed of 20 pages per minute or maybe more than that.

Also, it has a single sheet manual feeder for
multipurpose projects, while many other models have at least a multipurpose
slot which could be capable of holding 10 sheets or more. When you need to
print more envelopes, you will have to stand by the printer to put the
envelopes one at a time. In addition, its memory is only 2Mb, while many other
models have at least 8.
