2.0 out of 5 stars An update on my previous review, October 1, 2003

This review is from: HP 1220C/PS DeskJet Printer (Office Product)

Frustration has driven me to write another review, this time based solely on the "special" features of this printer.

As I said before, it still works fine on the regular stuff - letters, e-mail, documents, even envelopes, other than the problem with having to press the "resume" button to print them. That's what the 2 star rating is about. If you look beyond the mundane - it's a ZERO star rating or less.

Printing anything out of the ordinary has become a major pain, which seems to be getting worse as the printer gets older.

Any paper that is even slightly glossy is now slipping on the rollers - not all the time, but enough to drive you mad, especially when you need to print something in a hurry. The printer also gets quite upset when you try to cancel the print, even when you use the button designed for this purpose.

The paper wastage is tremendous after a job is spoilt due to the slippage, because not only do you lose the special paper you put in, but also a ton of regular paper, as the machine continues to spew out reams of gibberish in protest. Having to reboot the machine to solve a print error is totally ridiculous. This is a recurring problem with HP printers in my experience.

If you do most of your printing on cardboard, glossy paper, transparencies or other special paper, think twice before buying this printer, as it can send you stark staring crazy in a very short time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Real Disappointment., September 30, 2003

I've had color printers since they first came out..... I've worked in IT Out Sourcing since the mid 70's and have worked with, used, set up and trouble shot thousands of printers of every make, brand and price range.... For many years, HP has been a great maker of printers... not always the best price, out always the most features, and not always the highest resolution... but a printer that did a great job, was dependable and had a great company willing to help you out with any problem..... When I brought this 1220C, I found out how far HP has come down in the printer world. The electronics for the cartridges misfires, a call to HP gets you a guy in India, that wants $25 to talk to you...(like talking is going to help bad wiring)... Oh,,, you've had this for 60 days... not our problem ! Back to Epson for me....

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Printer, May 25, 2008

This review is from: HP 1220C/PS DeskJet Printer (Office Product)

I have had my printer for about 4 years and it has been a true work horse. I work as a full time illustrator and I love the quality and color or the prints. I print a lot and it has been very faithful. I am only afraid it will stop working soon as I have used to so much, or that HP will stop supporting the ink. I love that it only has two cartridges one color and one black. I am not looking forward to having to buy a printer that uses 6-8 cartridges. You can buy extra large tanks of ink which I love since I print large format all the time.

Great printer!
