Design
The look and design of the 1160 is similar to other HP models. It is grey in colour and is a basic cube shaped printer. The paper tray is enclosed, so this will not protrude beyond the body of the printer. This is a good feature for the cluttered desk.

The HP 1160 toner is easily accessible from the front panel, and there is a tray where envelopes and other media can be fed manually. There is also a one year warranty that is included from the manufacturer. Software is included with the model and there is a economy mode in which the HP 1160 toner prints a reduced amount per page which can lengthen the life of the supplies.
Disadvantages
This particular model is not able to be networked unless it is attached to a print server. It is also not able to do duplex printing. For larger print jobs, the basic amount of RAM may not be sufficient and could cause long delays before the printing is loaded.
