5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable, August 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: HP 825c DeskJet Printer (Office Product)

I bought this printer for my son's new computer which runs XP. No problem loading the software, no paper jams, no problems at all. For [the money]including the USB cable. I am still using an HP Deskjet 540 that I bought with my Packard Bell Pentium 75mHz over 6 - 8 years ago. The PB is gone, but the HP lives on and on and on. That's says a lot. New print heads with each cartridge I think is the way to go. Will use 825 mostly for text, but having printed a photo, it compares fairly well with my Epson 780 with glossy paper.

This printer has not caused my any troubles to this date. It's a quality little printer, as all HP products tend to be. The quality is good, but not great. This is an ideal printer for the casual user at home or office. The connection is USB, so the setup was easy. This printer also works well on my home network. If you need a good quality printer at a good price, the deskjet 825c would be an excellent choice.

HP has made a solid printer for light home use in the 825c.

HP based this bargain printer on the bones of the sturdy, albeit older, 800 series. This is a real advantage, because you take advantage of HP's paid-for tooling on a formerly higher-priced series. You get a printer that's more solidly built than comparable entry-level printers, but the tradeoff is that you don't get the latest printing technology advances. This printer is best for printing text and light graphics. It prints photos, as well, although probably not as well as a printer with the latest technologies.

The 825c is easy to install -- I had it running in minutes on my decrepit, 1997-vintage, Windows 98 PC. Its paper delivery system is sure and straight. Text is crisp. Colors are adequate.

I expect that this little printer will outlast not only my current PC, but my next one as well.
