Holy Cow! What a Printer!.......2007-03-31

I would have given this printer 5 stars except for the fact that it does not print directly from a media card, but I can live with that. (I also wish it had included an owner's manual; I don't want to print out 154 pages from the hp website!)
I was looking for a printer that would handle paper wider than 8 1/2 inches (I am a scrapbooker) and this model fills the bill for a reasonable price. But its most outstanding quality is its absolutely stunning photo prints! I found things in my photos that I did not know were there. Skin tones are absolutely accurate. And it is speedy. I love my new printer!

HP B8350 Printer.......2007-03-08

The HP B8350 does a beautiful job of printing on the paper that I use (Staples double sided matte) however I have a few hang ups.

It can take up to five minutes just to send the print job to the printer which obviously adds undesired time to a print job and I had some issues with it not wanting to print on larger paper, which is, of course, the only reason I bought it. HP was absolutely no help on that problem and I resolved it myself, but I have no idea how I did that.

I would also like to see more definative communication from the lights and buttons on the front.

Given the price for the quality, I would buy it again.

Thing is a Beast.......2007-02-27

Whenever I think of any printer, from the biggest poster printer on down to the lowly dot matrix dinosaur fax machine I think of that one scene from office space where they put the smack down on the fax machine for betraying them so dearly. As far as any printer goes I feel that the minute you connect it to a computer or a network it is just a matter of time before it quits working correctly and you're soon forced to that old mechanics logic of "wiggle this and rattle that and it'll fire right up."

Discounting all of that and completely ignoring my personal war against electronics to make them work properly I'd have to say the photos that this thing spits out are quite impressive. Honestly I am not a pro photographer and the thing is so big that it takes up half of my computer desk. So what if it makes somewhat scary and horrific noises that send the dog running when it spits out a finished product? Oh yeah and when I say spits out, I mean it can knock over a glass of water or an already haphazardly set cup of old pens with ease. Simply said the thing is a beast and it does good work.

As far as I'm concerned all of these large formats are the same and what really matters is what brand you want stamped on it pure and simple. Just buy one with cheap inks that's the only important thing.
