Load Paper Error.......2007-05-21

I used this printer probably 5 times over the course of the first couple of months that I owned it. After that period, paper no longer feeds and it constantly has the "Load Paper" error that so many others experience. It is virtually useless.

My favorite printer.......2007-05-01

I've had a lot of printers (HP and otherwise) before, and this one I am very pleased with. Great colors and options and no problems. Wonderful All-in-one machine.

Less success with this HP Product.......2007-04-30

I have had this HP product for some time and while I am satified with the printer quality. There are a lot of features this printer lacks for the cost.
1) The control pannel is hard to use. The SD memory card slots do not support older SD cards which is a feature that should be on the this printer since it would have been an inexpensive feature.
2)The printer will not print from using photo from scanner which is a better option than using the copy feature so that you do not have to set so many other parameters for better than copy quality.
3) The software integration did not work at all so I cannot use the scan to disk function at all.
4)The printer does not have a software option for print quality modification at all which is a huge mistake. You should not have to use the control pannel to edit photos.

5)The printer cartridges do not last long enough and are expensive much more than HP's photosmart 100 series which is a better printer for the money if you just want to print photos .
6)The printer is loud when doing paper feeds which is a problem as well.

This printer is not a great multi function tool. I have sent 10 e-mails to HP and support is lacking to get an exchange as well. Please do yourself a favor and wait until this is a close out for much less money to buy it for the great print quality only, you will save yourself the hastle of buying such a large printer that may or may not function properly. This is my 2nd HP printer and I am not happy with the investment so far. If you need an office and photo printer Lexmark is probably better for software integration and functionality.

Very good all-in-one printer.......2007-04-17

I have to wonder if maybe a bad batch of these printers was sent out by HP. I have been using it with great results Since December of 2006. I would agree with several other reviewers that the software is garbage, and that the paper tray is small. However, these don't warrant bad quality from the printer.

I have printer networked via a Linksys wireless router so that I can print from anywhere in the house. All computers (laptop and desktop) have zero issues printing to this printer. I have send CAD sectional drawings, tile layout drawings, large PDFs, large docs from both 2003 and 2007 Office (various apps), and some light photo work all with no issues.

As with any printer your paper choice dictates your quality and success printing. I only use high grade paper, and will continue to do so.

I can recommend this printer to those willing to shell out for the quality.

Had to give it one star..........2007-04-03

Had to give it one star BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LOWER.
This printer was the answer to my printing dreams. For about three months, with LIGHT home use. Only fault at that time is it is LOUD. It will wake the dead. Which is OK, since the DEAD don't have to print things that often, this is the perfect printer for them...
Other than noise, a faulty "load paper" error kept coming up.
Then, the paper load went bad. It is very unreliable, and ink cartridges run out VERY QUICKLY and cost about 10 bucks a pop,
Tonight, I'm trashing it. Buying ANOTHER printer tonight!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF TRASH!
