Conclusion: This printer is suspect


Review: This printer has the bells and whistles I needed but falls ways short.

* I don't want to sound 100% negative so I'll start with--it has a slick design and when working is pretty good ...

* The card reader has been useful as I use it to transfer music/photos/video to my phone.


Now the bad..

*The printer (couple times daily) takes in and prints on 2 sheets of paper at a time rather than one.

* The Software is landfill ready from the start. All it does is add about about 6 or 7 extra processes that are running in your task manager. The software constantly crashes and half the time I can't scan anything. So I have to resort to "other" methods to get this thing to scan to my pc.


*The printer(at least mines) will not constantly print a black word document without color ink installed. For example yesterday without any color ink installed, I PRINTED black word documents. Today, without any color ink installed I COULD NOT print any black word documents. Where is the consistency?? Why is color ink not needed one day but needed another day in order to print a BLACK word document??

* Printer is suspect

*Borderless 4-by-6 photo paper doesn't seem to print right on this printer on a reliable basis. Half the time the heads are cut off while the other half are ok. Where is the consistency??

*The print speeds reflect a mini diagram of our economy..Slow...Fast..Slower..somewhat Fast...Super duper slow...One second it spits the papers out so fast and violently that the papers flies out and hit the floor if you don't have the paper catcher extended all the way. The machine shakes my file cabinet as the papers just fly out one after another. So the next day comes, I'm expecting the same results except this time the printer takes it's slow precious time printing each and every letter ONE BY ONE. The same documents that flew out yesterday now print at a snails pace. When I purchased this printer no one told me that it had a human brain and printed fast or slow when it felt like it.................This thing is possessed

If you can get this printer to thoroughly work then enjoy it and all it has to offer. If not get your hypertension meds out and some hair dye to cover the gray you will encounter while hassling with this thing.

Conclusion: One of the best purchases I ever made.


Review: I've had this all-in-one for over three years now and still think it's one of the best purchases I ever made. I love it. I use every feature on it (print/scan/copy/fax).

I have never had a problem installing the software that came with it and now have the unit hooked up on a router which is hardwired to a desktop and laptop and wireless to a second laptop. Works like a dream.

I would have no hesitation recommending this unit to someone else and will certainly be buying another HP all-in-one when the time comes (although this one is still going strong).

Conclusion: HP SOFTWARE IS AWEFUL


Review: HP Software is the worst I have ever dealt with. I will never buy another HP product, nor should you.

I've uninstalled and re-installed this printer so many times. I'm 2 more installs from throwing it out the window.

Conclusion: Worst purchase I ever made


Review: The print quality is great - the software from HP is...is...is.. I can't even think of the right word. I have to reinstall the software every other month. Sometimes it prints sometimes it doesn't. It constantly errors for some reason or another. I find myself on the HP troubleshooting section more than I check my e-mail. I would recommend a pass on this printer. Unless you like troubleshooting.

Conclusion: Don't buy this printer


Review: As other reviewers have noted, the print quality is good, but the reliability is very poor. It took forever to install the software successfully, was very difficult to get network printing working. Now that it is about 3 years old, it requires frequent resets and the scanner has recently failed. I won't buy another HP.
