3.0 out of 5 stars HP can we get some decent software?, December 20, 2004
This review is from: HP PhotoSmart PSC 2610 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)
I have no complaints about the hardware. The most important part, the print quality is quite impressive.

The software, on the other hand, is a different story. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the HP software has been a nightmare. I have twice uninstalled and reinstalled the software because it caused Windows Explorer to take about 45 seconds to open. Reinstalling the software works for a while and then when the HP software updates itself over the internet, things get bad again.

Lest you think this user error, I'm a software engineer and my computer is a late model with 1.2 GB of RAM. I cannot recommend this product because the software is huge and buggy and the self-updates make the problem worse.

This is a huge disappoitment after my troublefree experience with the HP LaserJet 1012 monochrome laser printer and its clean bug-free software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value--I love my all-in-one!, November 11, 2004
By 
This review is from: HP PhotoSmart PSC 2610 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)
I was discouraged at seeing some of the prices for all-in-one printers until I came upon this beauty. I am a student, and space and productivity is essential. I can do everything with this thing and I especially love the scanner. You can do so many things with a scanner that I never realized. All of my old pictures are now digital and archived on my computer! Copies and printing are a breeze. Let me tell you, 30 pages a minute is fantastic. I was also happy to find out that this printer wasn't a ink guzzler like my old cannon. It is indeed very efficient and was a great buy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible software. Stay away -- far away., April 28, 2005
This review is from: HP PhotoSmart PSC 2610 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)
HP software is some of the most horrible in the world. I would say it is almost class-action-lawsuit bad in terms of how much time and grief it will cause users. The following are my experiences with it, and I consider myself to be an expert in software installation and maintenance. Maybe I just got unlucky because of particular features of my system, but I doubt it -- I suspect the software just blows.

First, installation was buggy and took many hours between the huge 700+ MB software and the fact that installation consisted of: try install, hang your computer, try unstall, hang your computer, repeat.

Second, if you don't have your computer behind a firewall, you are probably doomed. It takes only a few seconds hooked up to the Internet without a firewall for your computer to get infected with viruses. The HP Photosmart software SHUTS OFF YOUR WINDOWS FIREWALL AS IT STARTS UP, leaves the firewall down for a bit while it poops around, and only then starts back up your firewall. Unbelievable!

Third, the HP software causes problems with other software. HP software starts up sessions that drop me out of full-screen games, for example. This has happened to me at many critical times in on-line flight simulators, for example, causing me to crash -- after a long time of setup.

Fourth, if I don't have the printer turned on, booting up my computer takes about 10 times as long. Now I get to leave the printer on always.

Fifth, uninstall doesn't work. Don't like this crappy software having its inept claws into your operating system, making it slow and unreliable? Too bad. If I uninstall, I find that all kinds of HP crapware didn't get uninstalled and still starts up every time I reboot my computer.

HP makes great hardware . . . and some of the world's worst software. I knew this before trying this product but figured, "Hey, it's been years since I last tried HP products (and was screwed by their crappy software). Maybe they turned it around by now." Nope. This is bad enough that I probably won't buy HP computer products ever again, no matter how appealling they seem at a hardware level. I have to remind myself of this (and past) software horrors.
