Both can be had for about 130-140. Hps drivers always seem to be suspect. I am leaning towards the 1740 for its small 15" square footprint.

Any comments, suggestions from current owners of each?
 
For laser printer, buy HP only.
Other brands all are cheaper than HP (for the machine and the toner/drum), but they're not good as HP.
 
When I bought my first laser printer, the HP4 was so superior to everything else I saw that I could only make one choice. It did start to pleat a lot of my paper, a problem that HP only agreed was their fault on printers manufactured between certain dates. But in all the years I had it, the print was almost always crisp, black and perfect, despite never being serviced.

Recently, my hideous Epson inkjet died on a crucial day and I needed to buy a printer fast. I was afraid to take a chance on anything but an HP. While I haven't used the 1012 a lot, the print has the same perfect look as the LJ4, and it's so fast. I read that it gets much slower on long jobs and doesn't do well on pictures, two areas I haven't tested yet. I do like the tiny size.
