1.0 out of 5 stars The worst printer in the world., August 9, 2006

This is the worst printer I have ever seen, met, read about, or heard tell of. Nothing about it seems to work. The pages constantly misfeed, as if some mysterious force is actually preventing ANY of them from going in straight. And you know how some printers will occasionally grab 2 or 3 pages at once? Yesterday mine grabbed 9 pages, in a scattered sort of way so that I got a little bit of my document on all 9 pages. Who knows, maybe it thought I wanted a fun little puzzle.

The overall image quality is horrid; and occasionally, it will refuse to draw ink from a cartridge even when I KNOW the cartridge is full. The reason I know this is because I've tried multiple cartridges; but more telling is the fact that when it "gets thirsty" it will start to draw ink again.

I give this printer an A+ for personality; not because I think it's stylish, but because it's really like owning a finicky cat, or a wounded dog. In fact, it does so little printing that I sometimes forget it's actually a printer. Never a dull moment.

But for speed, reliability, and quality, it gets an F, an F, and another F - as in ZERO PERCENT. And it comes as no shock me at all that you can buy it here on Amazon for less than the cost of a Skim Latte Grande at Starbucks.

I got this because, I just can't have everything in life, and it is obviously the most affordable out there. I found so many bad reviews but took the chance and am GLAD I DID. You will find complaints about the price of cartridges, but you will also find there are more and more (professional) ink refill stores popping up everywhere. I pay $14.99 for a black ink refill and $16.99 for color. The ink is not "universal" junk and the service takes just 10 minutes, is guaranteed and is just as good as the real thing. The printer is compatible with most computers/operating systems (just make sure). The photo quality is not the best but good for the money, you do have to specify what you are printing and what type of paper and use the best quality print job to get good results. I am picky but frugal and I think for the price, you will be satisfied. FOUR STARS FOR THE PRICE!

This printer is the slowest printer I have ever had, my inkjet printer from 1993 is faster than this one! I don't know what the deal is with this printer! The quality is something to be desired too - it did not do to well a printing a "PHOTO QUALITY" print! Spend the extra money and trade up to the all in one printer by Dell!
