Hello,
Actually, I installed 2 1100's in a school lab using jetdirect print servers
and I haven't really had problems.  So I kindof fibbed about my personal
experience with that model.  I did read on www.cnet.com reviews on the 1100
and a lot of people said they had problems.

I've had nothing but trouble with the 5L's and 6L's (which is the
predecessor to the 1100) although I have one in my office and it works well.
Several people have them and I must get at least one call a week with a
problem.  But sometimes you can't entirely blame the printer.  I see people
load crumpled paper into them, reload used paper into them with new paper
without taking all the paper out first, switch the bottom/top paper exit
switch while the printer is printing, don't put the paper rests up and the
paper is hanging in the feeder bent over...etc.

I only have 3 1100's including an 1100A with the scan/copy feature.  And
they have been good so far except for one time it wouldn't print from
application (was 'stuck') until I rebooted the computer and disconnected and
reconnected the power to the printer.  Then it was fine.
