 When it works...it's great September 10, 2008
C. Colon (Denville, NJ USA)
I purchased this printer 2 years ago to replace a much simpler color printer as I planned to do more photo printing and color documents. The software installation took two tries before everything was installed...and that took a great deal of time. My husband could not install the software onto his laptop at all. He tried twice, but the installation froze and discontinued each time. The machine is quite large and heavy and shakes a great deal when printing so it is essential it be placed on a very supportive and sturdy desk or table. It seemed to operate well and print as expected for a few months, then the paper-feed issue began. It did not matter whether the paper tray was full or nearly empty...but it would not feed the paper and displayed an Out of Paper message. It became necessary to gently push the paper-length guide to encourage the paper to feed into the printer. Eventually it was necessary to do this each time one attempted to print. I went back to the store and the tech people kept the machine and then returned it to HP and gave me a new machine. I once again set-up the machine and it worked for a short time before beginning the paper-feed problem again. It was checked twice with no real resolution so I decided to keep the machine until now when I am upgrading it and leaving the HP family. I have been a fan of the HP printers for years, but lately their quality seems to be suffering from lack of attention. The one thing that is really terrific is the individual ink cartridges that allow you to replace only the color that has been depleted rather than a single color cartridge. We'll see what the new machine brings with it. Perhaps one day I will once again learn to trust the HP printers.
HP has discontinued this product May 8, 2008

When mine had an irretrievable paper jam and I took it in for repair, we found out that HP has discontinued both the printer and the pieces (gear replacement) needed for (a relatively simple) repair. Shame, shame, H.P. You just lost my business for good.
 Worst Printer Ever April 15, 2008
J. Christensen (Seattle)
The most unfortunate experience of this printer has been the knowledge that I paid full price for such a large paper weight.
Despite one reviewer suggesting a helpful HP Support team, my experience has proved otherwise. After reading many reviews of this so-called printer, it seems that there is one common malfunction among them all. This printer does not detect paper and will not load paper.
Despite the well known manufacturer defect, HP does not offer to replace the non-functioning item and only after several days of exchanging emails, they will only offer a list of approved repair shops. Hardly the responsible action one would expect from a company that has already explained to one reviewer that this problem is the result of a bad part supplied by a manufacturer they no longer work with.
At full price, many other electronics can be bought at the same price and function much longer than a year (iPods, Cell phones, DVD Players, Xbox 360, digital cameras). Even with the concept that electronic items become outdated quickly, consumers still deserve quality for their money, especially in the midst of a possible recession. This is not a quality item and HP does not provide quality support for this item. Even with its now rightfully reduced price on Amazon.com, I still could not recommend this product even to my worst enemy.
Thanks to my experience with this printer, I am now joining the many individuals whom constantly advise against buying HP products. Previously I always had moderate success with HP products, but I cannot justify buying HP again, when I've lost hard earned money on a piece of junk.
Unreliable Drivers March 20, 2008

I won't go into details on my specific experiences, but I'll chime in with those that have complained about the software. It's bloated, containing about 5 different programs that all pretty much get you to the same place. It's unhealthy in that I often find myself having to kill HP processes while I'm shutting down and they take entirely too long to start up. Worst of all it's unreliable. I want to print when I want to print. I don't want to have to reboot or futz around with configurations to get the printer to stop giving me errors.
The hardware is solid which is the only reason it gets more than one star when I'm going to throw it away while it still works just to get rid of my software problems. It's a real shame.
Oh yea, and the replacement will probably *not* be an HP.
FRUSTRATING! March 6, 2008
Catherine L. Elliott
This product is a huge waste of money. I have owned numerous scanners and have been editing pictures for years. It is unusable for the simplist function without spending hours figuring out how to make it work.
- The "photo wizard"- which I have not been able to find a way to bypass- will only allow you to print the preset sizes it offers. If all you want to do is stick your camera disc in and print standard size photos its ok- if you want to crop, edit, or adjust the picture in anyway- be prepared to spend hours of research, and trial and error.---- Good luck- I have pretty much given up.
- Default sets to the slowest, most ink wasting speed setting every use. You have to negotioate numerous panels to select anything different- EACH print. Unbelievable waste of time and money- its over 100 dollars to replace ink cartridges- which have been wasted printing documents when you just need to print something quickly.
- Deceptive sales practice- HP was selling the ink cartridges individually or in a package with reduced price- Only when the employees at Office Max alerted me to it- did I realize that the packaged ink have less than one quarter the ink that the individual cartridges held. Office max had so many complaints that they were warning everyone who were buying this type ink.
I could go on- but you get the idea!
