I purchased the HP Business Inkjet 2300 DTN Printer about 2 years ago. I have used it primarily for printing logo designs for my clients. For an inkjet, this printer is very fast and surprisingly efficient on ink usage. With regard to reliability, I have not experienced any technical or mechanical problems in the time I've owned it. As such, this product not only met, but exceeded my expectations.

I ordered this from HP direct. Stopped working after 3 months; very little use. Customer service from HP was terrible. They refused to take it back and wanted me to pay $29 and send it back to them so they could replace it with an old refurbished one. There is no authorized service center closer than 50 miles and I live in the middle of Los Angeles

This review is from: HP Business Inkjet 2300 Printer (C8125A#A2L) (Office Product)

The one product I purchased was itself fully functional for several years. I used it to print short-run business cards, business letters and some low-resolution artwork for pre-proof needs. It was on 24-hours a day.

Eventually, it started shutting itself down and I started leaving it off until I needed to use it, then turned it off again. It then developed a habit of running a head realignment after every print job. I finally tried upgrading the firmware which seemed to fix that little problem for a while.

Now, it's back to acting up and shutting itself off in the middle of a print job - very distressing for a product I spent a thousand dollars on out the door from Best Buy.

Naturally, HP says it's too old and other resources tell me the internal power supply is probably going out.

Otherwise, it's been a reliable performer, a lot like my old HP 1600, which would shake my entire desk when it was printing - right up until it developed fatal printer jams.

I'm kinda ticked because I just put in four new heads and ordered a set of replacement heads as well - that's an investment of nearly $300 in the space of ten minutes.

Most likely, I'll try to find a refurbished model and hope it lasts another few years.
