4.0 out of 5 stars A great value for a good printer, September 25, 2002

By	bixodoido (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Affordability, quick printing, great resolution, and brilliant color make this printer a sound investment for any home office or small business. It can handle a wide variety of tasks--everything from digital pictures to black and white documents. While it is not the best printer around, you'll be hard-pressed to come up with a better value for your money.

THE PROS: This machine prints faster than a comparable Lexmark. It's resolution is also very high, guaranteeing that your pictures will always come out looking crystal-clear. It is easy to use and simple to install. And HP is famous for their printers, so you know you're getting a brand you can trust.

THE CONS: I wish the printer had an on-screen display showing how much ink was left in the cartridge (like a Lexmark). That's about the only major defect.

THE REST: Well, this is an Inkjet printer, which means you'll be spending plenty on ink. Still, unless you want to invest in a laser printer, this printer is the way to go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much Paper Jams, March 7, 2007

By	Yogesh Malhotra (Chicago, Il, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This printer is fine for printing the letter size pages. For 4' X 6" photos this printer is very troublesome. Too much paper jams occur. My printer is now spoiled as photo paper got stuck too many times. Ink is relatively expensive and stay away from this printer if you want to print photos.
