1.0 out of 5 stars Warning: HP's hand will be in your pocket., October 22, 2010

By 

bilagaana (USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer (Office Product)

I really have no complaints about the print quality or the setup of the wireless function, which is a great convenience in a home network. The reason this printer is going to the recycler is the cost of operation due to HP's decision to gouge consumers on replacement ink cartidges.

If you look up the unit price on replacement cartridges, it does not sound unreasonable: roughly thirty USD for the black cartridge and twenty USD each for the three color cartridges. However, what you need to be aware of is that the printer decides when the cartridges need to be replaced and WILL NOT FUNCTION until you comply.

This is a change from a few years ago, when you would receive a low ink warning but could still print until the cartridge actually emptied. This disabling of all print functions may be becoming a standard industry practice but, in my experience, is particularly egregious with this HP printer.

It is no coincidence that all four cartridges are flagged as needing replacement at roughly the same time. Even if you have been printing only black and white draft copies in the interval since replacement, the color cartridges will be flagged as empty after a few months.

As this happens, at the least, twice a year, you will be spending close to two hundred dollars a year to maintain even minimum function.

After literally a mere few months, using the "high-capacity" XL cartridges and extremely rare use (I rarely print more than a dozen pages per month), this printer is once again disabled due to an entirely fictitious low-ink warning. This function is clearly not triggered by actual use, the number of pages printed or the volume of ink remaining. It is based entirely on an algortithm combining some arbitrary time since cartridge installation and HP's greed.

Again: The resident software decides when you will replace the ink cartridges (of which there are four) and it will not print so much as a single page until you do.

If you print enough pages in both black and white and color, and exhaust the cartridges in a short period of time, you may consider this printer a good value.

Read many of the four and five star reviews carefully: "I've had this printer one month and I love it", "I've had it for one day...", etc. I'm happy for them, but I have owned this printer for fifteen months and am replacing it.

This will be my last HP printer.

UPDATE: I have received (11/18/2010) notice of a settlement offer in response to three lawsuits filed against HP alleging fraudulent practices related to the issues noted above. Quote: "HP denies all these claims" but will offer coupons redeemable at the HP online store (only) as compensation. One can therefore assume they intend to continue these practices. HP is offering an insulting maximum six dollar credit for qualifying printers. For more information: hpinkjetprintersettlement dot com

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the wireless convience, June 13, 2009

By 

K. Perry "Nearly Native Texan" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer (Office Product)

This seems to be a great printer. I am using it as a replacement for my old Cannon PIXMA 3000 which just gave up the ghost. When you read the other reviews that talk about a 30 minute set up time, don't look at that as a sign of difficulty or potential incompetance on the reviewer...this unit does do a 20-30 self diagnostic as part of the set up process. Images are clean and clear. And HP finally has the message to create separate ink carts for each color rather than having to toss them all out when you run out of one single color.

What I like:
- The wireless capability. Can print from any PC in the house on this one.
- Separate Ink Cartridges
- Duplex printing
- HP has pre-sent usage pattern ready for you - like fast utility print, duplex printing, printing for photos, etc.
- Tools that help you see what your ink usage will be like.
- According to the HP site, low cost per page printing. (fingers crossed here).

Dislikes:
-Big footprint on the desk. Oh well.

Bonus: If you act before year end, your old printer may qualify for a $50 rebate when you return it to HP. See the HP product site for details. This helped knock $50 off this price.

2.0 out of 5 stars WarningS ..., April 14, 2009

By 

AnonDrPeeb "DrPeeb" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer (Office Product)

1) Slow as all get out to install. Probably due to massive HP software that comes with it ands wants to load everything needed to control everything on your computer, tools-bars, etc. etc. etc. Even when you turn those off from installing, it's slow.
2) Slow as all get out for the printer to get itself physically initiallized to print. It runs and runs and runs for like 20 minutes, clicking and buzzing and what not ... and for what?? What can it possibly be doing man??? Never had any other printer that needed to do all that.
3) Software takes over any other HP software you may already have installed. It deleted my old scanner software and replaced it, & now I'm missing certain scanner functions I used to have. Or, if they are still there somewhere I sure can't find them, and I have looked under every button and every nook and cranny I can find. I believe some B&W vs color functions are missing, etc.
4) Now, all of the sudden the printer wants to either spool forever, or if I turn off spooling, printing directly to the printer takes forever ... or may not actually happen. I'm still waiting.
5) Two-sided printing: Before my software problems above started, when I would print 2-sided, it is VERY SLOW.
6) I bought this printer for both at home and work, 2 days apart ... Liked it at home the first 2 days so much that I bought one for work ... but since, see above ... and now the one at home has print color problems: Streaks black shades through some of the colors. No idea why or what to do about it.

Sadly, would not buy again. And, this is based on owning 2 of them right now. What are the chances I got TWO lemons? Not very good I wouldn't think.
