I would avoid it--it has too many problems

bysevag Aug 13, 2008
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sleek design, wireless capability, mostly reliable
Cons weekly paper jams, not very quiet, and could be smaller in size
Recommended it? No

I bought the printer on eBay brand new for about $70 shipped. I was glad I bought it at first, even though I did not connect it to my wireless network, it still worked good as a plugged in printer to my desktop.

Eventually the printer stopped becoming recognized by my computer. I... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I'll admit, I was sucked into buying this printer because of the price (less than $100) and the fact that it was wireless.

I kept thinking this must be too good to be true. Well, I was wrong.

HP's installation software was easy to use and got the job done. The installation on my... Read full review »

Pros Excellent quality work.
Cons May be pricey for some; ink pricey.

Recently, I was faced with an interesting dilemma. I had written a biography of a family member, and I wanted to publish it in a "book" form with a limited number of copies to distribute among several family members. I had dutifully typed it on the computer in MS Word, and taking advantage of MS... Read full review »

Oops, the paper jammed again

byjethroelfman May 4, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros - Okay looking pictures - Nice and fast - Versatile software
Cons - Crumples a lot of paper - Software a pain to install
Recommended it? No

I bought this to replace my ancient bubble-jet, and didn't need much in terms of image quality. This attractive HP looked like it made decent prints, and would still cost half of what a laser printer would to operate.

Installation
First, it spends four to six minutes reading the CD,... Read full review »
