After working with far more sophisticated "all-in-one" printers, I have settled on the Compaq IJ1200 as my favorite everyday printer. I love the way it notifies me of the ink levels, so that I do not start a complicated project only to run out of ink in the middle of a printing. The IJ1200 prints in beautiful color, is easy to load, and works well with my Compaq computer. I do use it for photographs, and it is quite acceptable, without the expense of a photo-quality printer. Because the IJ1200 is a dual head printer, there is no need to switch ink cartridges, which I find annoying. The printing program allows adjustment for a myriad of paper types and sizes. I would recommend this printer to anyone looking for quality and dependability at a reasonable price.

Best choice I made, I wasn't too sure about gettin a Compaq printer, but when I did, I see what they say : "Buy Brand and get Quality" Enough said, you get what ytou pay for. Lesson I learned the hard way with my old EPSON.

I love this printer. Great price for excellent work. Only drawback is very high priced replacement ink cartridges. Friends tell me that refilled cartridges do not work well on this machine.

When I first got this Compaq printer it worked well. That only lasted about a month. After that when I tried to print anything color it would print in visible stripes. Cleaning the print heads only helped for maybe a day and then it was back to the stripes again. In addition to it's bad quality printing the ink is overpriced. I would recommend a Canon printer instead. They are cheap and work great. I own two and have never had a problem with them. Plus, they print great photos.

This printer is a piece of junk. I have another lexmark/compaq and a HP. Both of my lexmark/compaq printers don't feed the paper in straight and the printer takes in more than one sheet of paper an prints a page of stuff on five sheets of paper. I would recomend hp's or epson's BUT DON'T BUY A LEXMARK.

Because of high priced new cartriges this is one you do not want. Because you can not use refilled cartriges.
