This review is from: HP Officejet 6000 Color Inkjet Printer (CB051A#B1H) (Office Product)

I am a very short time user of this printer, however, this is at least 16th printer I have had at since my first Centronics in 1979, and I have installed many more at work.

The printer is very well packed. The print head comes un-installed. I had a little apprehension putting in the print head. The gray bar that is raised has a stiff spring. It would not be the first time I have pulled something too hard, but there are no locks or catches. It just lifts up. The head went in smooth as did ink installation. The next step is to put power on and wait for the printer to align. This takes some time. The printer werrs, pops, grinds, sounds like it is trying to load paper, but eventually prints, JUST WAIT.

After plugging in the Ethernet cable, the network light came on, and pressing the light got me a network printout. (However, it was not necessary). From here you put the disk in the computer and follow instructions. I installed the printer on three computers, a desktop wired to network, and Asus EEEpc, wireless (copy all files to a usb and run setup from the usb), and a laptop also wireless. The desktop with Vista required me to except port 427, the Asus running XP required nothing, and the Laptop running Vista and Zone Alarm required reconfiguring Zone Alarm. The good thing is the firewall changes required were somewhat explained by the software. The Zone Alarm instructions were better than the Windows FireAlarm instructions.

I have read many of the 'professional' reviews on this printer. Now that I have it installed and have printed several test prints, some thoughts. Print speed, is well within acceptable limits. In fact I read one review that said it was too slow. I disagree with that. I also read that the 'Photo' quality was not good. Well it is certainly good enough. It does make noise, however, it is no worse that most other HP ink jets I have dealt with. It is not a factor for me, but it it were I would pick the Wireless model and stick the thing in a closet somewhere.

I would highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for no frills printing. I particularly like the cost of ink! While I have refilled carts before, at $9.99 for color carts, for 300 pages and $14.99 for 700 pages, I don't think I will mess with it. The black XL cart is suppose to print 1,200 pages that is almost 5 reams of paper!

This review is from: HP Officejet 6000 Color Inkjet Printer (CB051A#B1H) (Office Product)

This printer is very pretty and the cartridges for it are really cheap, but it doesn't get very many pages per cartridge and when I tried to install it on my Windows 7 machine, following the instructions that came with the printer didn't work. It says not to plug in the printer until you've installed the software, but the disk that comes with the printer does not have Windows 7 drivers. I was going to send the printer back until I tried just plugging it into the computer and letting it go. Luckily the computer was smart enough to find drivers for the printer without the disk.

Once the printer was installed and I tried to print something, I noticed the printer takes its good sweet time printing things, so if you're looking for something super speedy you may want to look elsewhere.

Also note: THIS PRINTER DOES NOT COME WITH THE USB CABLE TO CONNECT IT TO THE COMPUTER! This printer does not have wireless capability so you need the cable to use the printer.

I didn't see that before I bought it. Luckily I had an extra cord lying around, but others may not be so lucky.

Overall for the price however I am very happy with this little machine. No major problems I can see so far, and I've printed a good number of things since I purchased it.

This review is from: HP Officejet 6000 Color Inkjet Printer (CB051A#B1H) (Office Product)

I've used the HP 6000 for only a short time (printing a hundred pages or so), but have found it excellent so far. Installation, though a bit slow, went easily. Printing speed in fast draft is exceptional (about 3 seconds a page) and the quality good. Communications between the printer and my computer could be faster, too, but once it goes to work it zips. One minor paper jam was easily fixed. I'm surprised at getting this much for the cost.
