nice printer but - Good solid printer, was able to attach via network. However developed fault in paper feed recently after about a year or so of fairly light use.
Poor value for money - It simply provides poor value for money at £75.20. It doesn t copy or scan or fax or have built-in wireless, it doesn t even include a very cheap USB cable which most people need to use this out of the box! The Canon Pixma 3-in-1 options are far superior.
A lot of printer for the money - I ve been buying Epson Stylus printers for the past 6-7 years, and both my previous purchases started to pack up once they reached the 3 year mark, generally becoming more and more quirky (refusing to feed paper, funny splodges on the page, etc), so this time I thought I would try an HP.The main reason I bought this specific printer was because it had good reviews as a general purpose printer, but it also seems to do a pretty good job with photos. I also didn t realise until I bought it that it had a built in Ethernet port (plug it into your router and you ve got wireless printing!), Picture Bridge (I can plug my Canon Ixus into the USB port on the front and print directly from my camera). It has a separate feed slot for envelopes and photo paper, as well as a fixed paper tray. You can also plug in a Bluetooth adapter, to print from your camera phone (if you want to go in for all that nonsense - why bother : ))But the thing that has really impressed me is how quiet it is, relative to both my old Epson printers, and how quick. It s not far off Laser Printer speeds when printing emails, etc.And what s more, this is the first time I ve ever bought a printer for under £100. I ve yet to see how it will fare after 2-3 years, but I m pretty impressed so far. Bargain!
Great wireless network printer! - I took delivery of my HP deskjet this morning. It has taken 1.5 hours to get everything up and going. Which in my book is pretty good! I have installed it using the ethernet cable into my wireless router, and then wirelessly onto 2 Windows Vista PCs, one XP PC and one XP Laptop. All 4 computers are connecting to the printer and working fine.The build and print quality look really good too.I have had Epsons for the last 20 years but got fed-up of replacing them an an almost annual basis! So this is my first HP printer, and so far I am impressed with the ease of use and setting up on my wireless network. Had a quick look at ink cartridge costs too, and they appear to be cheaper than the Epson ones.
Deserves the credit - I just wanted to reinforce the comments left by other purchasers and satisfied owners of this printer.I received the printer yesterday and installed it on arrival on a Vista desktop and XP laptop in no time - around 10 mins each.One of the main reasons that I went for this printer was the ability to plug it into my wireless router (ethernet cable to connect the printer to the router is supplied), and then print from my laptop without having to be connected by wires, and was one of a few printers that I could find in this price range that had this connectivity option.Can be connected by USB also (cable not supplied) which I didn t see in the Amazon details. Initial print results look impressive, and its as solid as a previous Epson 890 which it is replacing.Deserves the 5 stars.
