Does anyone have any competitive information on the HP9000MFP and HP4101MFP. I am dealing with a 26 machine bid and this is actually a consideration.

Think of the 4101 as a 1013F that is 25 ppm and had color scanning. What I mean is the 1st copy time is a SLOW 12 seconds!!!The platen is 8.5x11 only, 30 sheet ADF (not ARDF), it only ways 70lbs. where the 2022 is 188lbs. w/o the ARDF. It appears to not have any speed or quick dials, no finishing...I don't even think it has zoom. Maximum paper capacity is only 1600 sheets (600 standard). The dispay is an LCD with navigation buttons like our Aficio 200/250 used to be.
It does have color scanning and 1200dpi and a low low purchase price of around $2,400.
The 9000 has a similar story although not quite as bad. 8 sec FCOT, 3,100 maximum paper supply.
Don't assume that either one of these units have "typical" copier features like zoom Red/enl, book copy, Pause/interrupt, cover mode, speed dials, Auto paper select, Auto Red/Enl., etc. because I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have any of that. I really don't see these replacing existing copiers without alot of end-user disatisfaction.

I can tell you that the 9000MFP is not a good deal. My Church here in Boise was given one of these on the pre-launch Delta program that HP has.
This machine has had so many problems, not to mention the slow FCO time, but also the poor technical support from HP. The Saddle Stitch finisher has never quite worked right either. I would stay away from it. The folks at the church refer to it as "That Boat Anchor". The 9000MFP is indeed a PRINTER that they have attached a scanner to, not that that is a bad thing, but it just does not behave like a copier.
Hope that helps some.

I have a customer who has the 1013F and the 4104 MFP. His biggest complaint with the HP is that it is printer first and copier or fax second. He claims it takes him several steps just to make one copy and that drives him crazy.
