Summary: For it's price, one expects this printer to function at a SOHO level (low volume printing) and therefore I was never expecting blazingly fast speed or large capacity paper tray. It has all the necessary connections (except wifi) and is very easy to setup (both USB and network). Print quality is amazing, especially for photo prints (compared to colour lasers at this price range). However, my one and only gripe is the lack of a manual feed slot/tray. So when I want to print envelopes or odd-sized paper, I have to remove the A4 paper I have in the tray. If not for that, I would've rated this a 9.5/10 (there will never ever be a 10/10 product as there is no financial incentives for manufacturers to do so). I also notice that the scan area is smaller to older incarnations of AiO printers.
Cons: - Mine died after 35 days
- The sofware is just awful bloated beast that does not uninstall and if you try to reinstall it again, you will be in for a surprise, it will not allow you to reinstall it. - Support calls: get ready for a 2-3 hour wait
Summary: Good printer, good featues for the price. The Software is just the absolute worst I have ever used. Once installed you cannot uninstall all of it, and if you try ...
Summary: Good printer, good featues for the price. The Software is just the absolute worst I have ever used. Once installed you cannot uninstall all of it, and if you try to reinstall the software it says it is alreaady installed (which it isnt!). I would not recommend the HP experience on my worst enemy. Be warned if you buy this model, it is not like the old HP printer work horses that did what they were supposed to. These new models from HP are made poorly, cheaply and the software will make you pull your hair out. No way to just reinstall over old installation, HP blocks this for some strange reason.
Also the horrible software will block you from printing when IT thinks you are out of ink, even though you aren't. So you are forced to buy more cartridges before you need to. Way to help the environment HP!! Instead of the printing greying out and you changing the catridge, you will print perfectly then it will warn you after a certain number of pages and then it will shut itself off and not allow you to print, until you replace the catridge, even if your old one is not empty. A real scam if you ask me.
Overall, I would avoid this model (and in fact most HPs newer models) they are not made the same way as their older models. Canon, Epson, anything but HP if you just want your pritner to work easily with no hassle. These new HPs are finicky machines and made quite poorly with afwul quality assurance and just pathetic software.
Pros: Does all functions with good quality. Multi Tasking is possible, memory allow for reprinting. Good quality copy, fax, scan and printing.
Cons: Toner Cost, Difficult to unjam the top feeder, User Screen a little confusing.
Summary: I upgraded from a different brand "inkjet" multi function machine. Generally, I am happy with the HP. The two issues of the cost of the toner is really the single ...
Summary: I upgraded from a different brand "inkjet" multi function machine. Generally, I am happy with the HP. The two issues of the cost of the toner is really the single cost since the toner units last longer than ink. I did use rebuilt ink so the cost is higher but the quality is not as good for printing.
The most difficult issue is when the automatic feeder is jammed, watch out. If it is jammed on top there is a simple step but if it is jammed on the inside (bottom of the feeder) you are going to be pulling and hoping that no little pieces of paper get stuck.
Overall, the machine works well and I do get moderate use in both fax, copies and print functions. I would recommend this. It has a larger size so it is not for a little desk however I have the space and it works well for me.
