 Amazing deskjet |
| Review Date: February 11, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Chris Fink, Fayetteville, AR USA |
I've been in the computer world for many years. I am a die-hard HP fan but the past few Deskjets have not really had the WOW factor to them. Until this one. I just recently purchased it and it was hooked up in no time on my network, all 5 computers can print to it simultaneously and it doesn't have any problem handling the spooling.
I gave this printer a 5 out of 5 because of its quality, ease of use, print quality, appearance itself as it looks great with an all black desktop and overall satisfaction with it.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a good bang for the buck factor as well as an amazing product, once again, from Hewlett-Packard. |
I would buy this again.

The price was great and this printer performs very well for my
needs. The color is excellent and the ink cartridges which came
with the printer are lasting a long time considering the amount
of printing that I have been doing. Putting in the two ink
cartridges is very easy. I wanted a printer that did not have
the five or six cartridge set-up. |
So far, LOVE this printer

| I bought this printer a few weeks ago, but was putting off installing it. I dread spending tons of time with hardware, and usually there are problems, incompatabilities, and needed updates. The installation was a snap! I connected it using the enclosed ethernet cable. I connected it directly to my wireless router--works great. I then noticed in the written directions that you could only use a wired ethernet connection to establish the needed link to my son's laptop. I was totally bummed since the main reason I bought this printer was to enable us to print directly from the wirelessly routed laptop. WELL, to my great happiness, I was easily able to install the printer wirelessly. It prints really well. I'm very satisfied with all my HP products, and this printer was no exception. If you need to install it directly with a USB, just know that the USB cable is not included in the box. |
Excellent Quality

| I have had a number of HP deskjets over the years...this one lives up to the excellent quality HP is known for. Black text prints super-fast, and colors are vibrant. I printed a black and white photo using HP Premium Plus Photo paper, and a photographer friend upon seeing it, asked when I had gotten a darkroom. Highly recommend this product. |
GOOD PRINTER - GOT IT FOR AN AMAZING PRICE

NEW UPDATE - BACK TO A 5 STAR PRODUCT (AUGUST, 2010) - I don't even remember the problem I mentioned. I did get a Wireless N Router (on sale) and for the first time used this printer's Wireless Options. Since going wireless, it has functioned MUCH MUCH BETTER and without a single problem ... Using the Wireless connection.
Having gone "Wireless Printing" - I would not (and could not) ever go back to a USB attached Printer. GO FOR THE WIRELESS IF YOU CAN. IT'S MUCH BETTER - FOR MANY REASONS (THE CONNECTION, SPEED, REDUCED JAMS/PROBLEMS, NO CORD, FASTER CPU USE/PROCESSING AND PRINTING TIME AND MUCH QUIETER .... ONLY BECAUSE I CAN PUT THE PRINTER FAR FROM ME AND MY LAPTOP ... SO I DON'T HEAR A THING NOW WHEN I PRINT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: JUST AFTER WRITING MY REVIEW - MARCH 23, 2010 PRINTER STOPPED WORKING AND THE HP DRIVER IS IN A PERMANENT RE-INSTALL MODE WHEN I TRY TO USE THE PRINTER.
SO MUCH FOR MY GIVING SUCH A GOOD REVIEW.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a HP Laptop (despite a lot of negative HP reviews I have seen around, I've never had a problem) and figure I ought to buy HP components/accessories whenever possible to make sure it will install as easily as possible.
This one was an instant install (well, it took a lot of HP downloading and installing of software, automatically, but a lot) and works great.
BIGGEST CON: The PRICE of the replacement cartridges. I bought this printer because at the time my existing printer was out of ink and a new set of in cartridges was literally more expensive than this brand new printer (black friday kind of sale).
CON: The environmental cost of the PRINTER PRICING AND MARKETING. Printers go on sale a super cheap prices to get you 'hooked' on the manufacturers brand AND THEN THEIR INK.
Note: I thought my next printer would be the Kodak All In one .... ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CHEAPER INK PRICES ... I am not sure of this, but I have been told that Kodak is cheaper ink, BUT Kodak requires SPECIAL KODAK PAPER which is much more expensive ... totally negating the ink price savings. (not confirmed)
PRO: CHECK ON AMAZON FOR IN REPLACEMENT/REFILLS. I HAVE FOUND ONE SELLER WHO I HAVE USED TWICE WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS .... AND CAN GET REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES FOR ONLY $8. They are 'remanufactured' or something like that, but work GREAT! The best price for HP NEW replacement ink cartridges (number 96) is extremely HIGH and should be considered before buying this printer.
Otherwise, I am a light, infrequent printer user, but have had wonderful and easy results from this printer for over a year or two. LOOK FOR A GOOD SALE PRICE! :) |
