3.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding For Light Use - High Per Page Cost For Ink, January 5, 2005

This review is from: HP OfficeJet 6210 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)

We are a long-established, technology-based counsulting and services company. We have thirty computers and nine HP printers on the LAN. We bought two 6210s for use at work stations for light to medium use (5 - 30 pages per day).

We could not be more pleased with the quality of the printed pages and the operation, but avoid heavy use because of excessive ink cost per page. (This is the reason why the printer cost seems absurdly low.)

Scanner, printer, and fax all worked great. The unit is very, very compact and handsomely styled - a far cry from the earlier all-in-ones that these replaced. The paper feed tray could perhaps be improved. A small amount of care must be used to prevent stuffing the paper in too far.

Print cartidges have very little capacity. The color cartridge has a list price of $32.00 and yields 260 "standard" pages. That's 12 cents per page. For the same standard page our older HP R60 all-in-one delivers 690 pages for a list price of $40.00 or $0.06 per page. I have not investigated black printing costs; but the black cartridge is also small. Googling "cost per page" and printer model will get you the cost info from a third party.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like everyone else, Good Printer, Bad Software, April 7, 2005

By

This review is from: HP OfficeJet 6210 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)

I just got my HP 2610 and like everyone else says, the software blows.

It took me maybe 4 hours to install the minimum drivers onto my Windows 2000 box. First of all, the CD-ROM that came with my printer would crash out at the same point in the install everytime. I ended up having to download the 350MB driver file off the HP support website. The install program isn't very straight forward nor intuitive. Instead of directly installing drivers, it actually uses the windows new hardware detection wizard to find the appropriate drivers. It of course, tells you to insert a CD-ROM with the drivers, but I was installing off the 350MB image. In my mind, when I download 350MBs, it shouldn't have to _ask_ me to find the drivers - it should know where they are. Then the program seemed to hang for about 20 minutes on the last step in installation. It got past all that, and everything was finally installed!

Oye!

Right now everything seems to be great! I don't notice any slowdown on boot times, nor does it seem like the HP Software seem to take up a lot of memory (only have 256M).

The printer itself is nice. I think a lot nicer than the 5510. The button layout seems more intuitive to me. I was considering the Canon Pixma 780, but the control panel of the Canon was cryptic. I'm a big stickler for good user interfaces.

Otherwise, like another reviewer mentioned, this printer is for light use since it uses super small print cartridges. 250 sheets per tank. So consider that. Move up to the 7210 if you think that's going to be an issue. I did a calculation to see when i'd break even buying the 7210 with the larger ink cartridges. factoring in the initial price of the 7210, i'd have to print something like 7500 pages for the cost to be worth it. That's a number I'm not going to cross anytime soon...

1.0 out of 5 stars First day, already problems!, December 21, 2004

This review is from: HP OfficeJet 6210 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)

I was really excited, plugged everything in and tried it out.
The first try was just a plain color copy of a photo on to plain paper... Amazing... worked like a charm, not bad output.
Next test was a printout of a scanned in photo using imaging software... I used glossy photo paper and the thing jerked the paper out in spurts and printed only partial lines on the photo paper. So 1 expensive piece of paper wasted... so I tried another one and this time just using the copy feature of the all-in-one and bam... spit out the paper in the same way only printing a line every inch or so... then PAPER JAM ERROR. I cannot get rid of the message, I did everything HP says to do and still nothing. It's going back to the store today and that's it for this thing.
Over all it seems like a great machine but I've lost confidence in it now and will most likely purchase something from Cannon now.
