If you find yourself printing a lot of text, this is a great printer to have, even if it is just for your home computer. It is simply a very fast inkjet printer. I had an initial problem getting it to feed straight that was corrected by tightening up the paper guides as the manual said. Getting the print heads loaded was also an experience, but not impossible.

Pros:
Seperate Color Ink C/Y/M/Blk
Fast Printing speed
Large paper capacity
Built in processor and 16 mb of memory
Accepts HP EIO card for 10/100 or Wireless print server
Accepts postscript card and additional memory
Also accepts upgrade card for USB connection

Cons:
Loud. Very loud
Built in parallel connection only
Older photo printing technology
larger desktop footprint
inks are seperate but still expensive

Works very well for a color inkjet printer. You need to look at the printer to see when the ink is running low, but other wise no gripes. It works very well with windows xp. It also is able to hold out. I use this at work for printing invoices all the time and it works great.

I have 5 of these, and what can I say? They have cut down on cost, they are quiet, they are fast, and they are slick! I don't know why the other guy was saying that this was not for business use. Yes, it does only have a 150 sheet capacity, but it prints so quick that you don't have to start the print job then go home and wait until morning for your 500 sheets of color to print. FIRM THUMBS UP!

Very fast color draft print mode, rated at 14 ppm. I'm seeing 11 seconds on first page out in full page color draft. The color draft mode is very good, quite acceptable for reports and newletters. Has a large 10.5" print area on 11" paper (0.04" top margin and 0.46" bottom margin). Holds lots of supplies so you don't have to swap them often. Seperate ink tanks saves money on ink - full color draft letter size paper came to 9 cents per copy by our testing - including paper and depreciation. Only has a Parallel port standard, could have used USB too.

This is a great printer from HP and far faster then it's replacement is. I am still buying any refurbished models I can for the office. They should still make it.

The capacity of this machine is so unimpressive that it leaves you wondering who they had in mind when they called it a business jet. The number of pages in the tray is minute, but the amount printing that can be done with the mini ink cartridges is underwhelming. You then realise the cost involved with replacing them, not long thereafter comes the whopping cost of replacing the print heads. HP shareholders may rest assured that customers are forced to come back for more and more and more. But will they ever want to buy another HP printer. Both thumbs firmly down.
