Copier (Q8061A#ABA)

Review: A Boat Anchor
by: smileysa on date: August 4, 2006

had a 6210 that worked great for 1 1/2 years and then died. luckily had extended warranty so exchanged for this 6310. i have been fighting this for 3 days now and swapped out the new unit for another new unit. installed over and over but can't get scan to work. print function works fine, even when computer says unit is disconnected but it is hooked up and turned on. scan just will not work and get error message that no connection to unit, even though print works and all usb drivers installed. hp trouble line no help, just uninstall and reinstall over and over and over, etc, etc. something missing, but who knows what.

Review: HP 6310 Four in one printer
by: R. Jones on date: July 27, 2006

When I purchased this printer there was only one review which sounded pretty good. I found this device easy to install & setup with an outstanding print quailty and and easy to operate. I use this printer for photo print, fax and scaning. Kept my old HP842C for regular email and routine/draft printouts primarily to save the ink cartridges on my HP6310 since the ink cartridges are smaller. Rate the HP6310 4 out of five stars. Only drawbacks is that it tends to vibrate a little much during fax operations

Review: Nifty little machine
by: T. Cruz on date: August 8, 2006

I would have given it a 5 stars if it didn't use so much darn ink!
The tiny ink cartridges sure don't last long.
The print quality is great. It prints quickly off the computer.
The copy speed is a little slow - seems all these all-in-ones copy rather slow.
I was able to set it up & have it running in just a few minutes.
I do wish there was a way to print a fax report one by one instead of turning the option on to print them all. Who can remember to turn on the feature before sending that all important fax?

Review: Almost perfect complete office suite
by: David A. Riley on date: August 15, 2006

I recently upgraded to the HP6310 from the HP7110 a machine I was more than happy with. The move has been excellent, all functions are faster particularly color printing, the unit is significantly more compact and the quality of images are also a serious upgrade. The unit has almost no shake and is extremely quiet in operation, particularly in comparison with my old 7110. In addition the price differential between this machine and the much inferior HP5610 is very small.

New features include the ability to take several formats of camera memory cards and read directly from them to print contact sheets, six ink color with inkjet photo ink and up to 24 x 8.5 prints. There are also wired and wireless network options etc but I have not used them.

Installation was a breeze, I was up and running in maybe 10 minutes, the controls are intuitive but if needed the instruction book is unusually easy to follow.

Why not five stars: it drinks ink and the cartridges are small -that gets expensive.

If you can live with the ink issue this is a great machine for the home office or small business.

Review: HP officejet 6310 All-in-One Multifunction Printer/FAX/Scanner/Copier
by: Evaluator on date: September 3, 2006

Very good Unit .... Software Installation had to be run 3 times to complete installation(suspect bad software disk).

Review: It does everything just fine, and the network access is great.
by: R. Plotkin on date: August 26, 2006

We got the 6310 because we needed a fax, our color inkjet had broken, we'd thought about needing a copier, and our scanner was very old.

This unit does a great job as a fax: it is easy to send multi-page paxes directly from your computer or from the unit itself. While it took a little bit of configuring to get it to output confirmation pages from sent faxes (you'd think it would do this by default, but it's a feature you have to enable), it's (so far) been a very reliable and hassle-free fax, which is more than I can say for some standalone faxes.

This does a pretty good job as a color (and photo) printer. It's not a dedicated color printer (like some of the Epson units that cost as much as this all-in-one), and that shows in its speed and overall fidelity. But it's pretty darned good, and will meet the average user's photo needs and almost all user's non-photo needs.

The copier works well. It takes a little while to get going, but once it starts, it's reasonably fast on low-quality mode. Multipage copies are easy with the sheet-feeder.

The scanner is fine. It's not the best or worst of scanners. I think it can be unbelievably slow sometimes, and the fact that it does not allow multi-page scanning with the built-in sheet feeder is dumb. I'm hoping that a 3rd-party vendor will release a driver allowing me to take advantage of the sheet-feeder for scanning.

One huge thing in this unit's favor is the network access. Scanning over our wireless network means that my wife and I can both use the scanner without dragging different wires into our notebooks (hers runs Windows 2000, mine runs OS X).

I'd give this unit 3/5, but the network connectivity really pushes it up to 4 stars.

Review: This is a great machine
by: P. Lyle on date: September 9, 2006

My husband and I run a small business from our home and have owned hp printers in the past. I must say that I was skeptical about getting this printer because the hp printer software is always so buggy. I am pleasantly surprised that I was able to put the software on two separate computers with no problem.

My reason for purchasing this particular machine is the ability to print wirelessly and I am not disappointed. I am able to print from my laptop without any problems. This machine makes my life a lot easier because I don't have to worry whether the main computer attached to the printer is turned on.

My last hp printer didn't have an automatic feeder and now I'm not sure how I lived without it. I have saved so much time copying and faxing because I don't have to stand at the machine and put each piece of paper on the glass.

I really am pleased with this machine, it's exactly what our home business needed.

Review: Perfect little all-in-one printer!
by: R. Mastromauro on date: September 9, 2006

I have a home office set up so that I can sometimes work from home. I was tired of having 3 different printers (laser, inkjet, inkjet with scanner and copier) and a fax machine. This nifty little guy replaced all four machines! It works wonderfully. The print quality is very good, better then I expected. For someone that uses it to print presentation materials, the occasional personal photos, send faxes, scan, and make copies, this machine is a great addition.

I did have some trouble initially installing it to my pc. But I've heard it takes a little trouble in the begining for Windows XP's. Eitherway once the installation is fully complete (which I did by myself without any HP assistence, by just working at the kinks) it is good to go and a great asset. I've even used it to print business presentations materials already and they came out better then at my local Staples copy center.

In my humble and not printer savvy opinion, I believe this is a great machine at a very good price for all the other machines it eliminates.

Review: Overall Great networkable All-In-One!
by: M. Kaplan on date: October 16, 2006

This is a great All-in-one if you have a home office or many computers in your home. If you don't need a networkable printer, go with the 5610. But if are going to use a printer with multiple computers, you can't beat this one. I'm fed up with Epson, so I decided to try HP. I'm glad I did. It works fine with my Apple AirPort Extreme and all my Macs.

Review: Excellent all-in-one network printer
by: S. Barron on date: October 1, 2006

When I got married, my wife and I had seperate inkjet printers left over from college that were getting on in years, relatively slow, and required one of our laptops to be up and running to use. We do a decent amount of printing for grad school, and I have an older scanner that also requires a computer to be on to use. So we started looking for an all-in-one printer in a good price range with network capapbility and faster printing and copy times. Any laser printer is out of our price range, and so the HP Officejet 6310 has nicely fit our needs. The only thing it lacks is automatic duplex printing, but I have yet to see a network ready and duplex all-in-one inkjet machine. You can manually duplex print, so it is not a big deal for us, and it can also be hooked to to a single computer by USB if needed.

The biggest surprise for me was the quality on the draft print setting is very good, especially color printing. I can print color figures related to my school work and not have to refer back to the pdf file to understand what it means. I also like the scan features. If I want to do a basic scanning job, I can do it all from the printer itself. Once the software is installed, you choose a computer on your local network and a list of compatible programs will show up that can accept the scan. Another great feature is that you can scan and copy from the document feeder, which is a must for large multi-page jobs.

The card reader on the front of the machine is very nice for digital picture printing. It will print a master sheet(s) of all the photos on the card, and then you can select by number which photos to print. HP also makes photo quality inks for the 6310, and while we have not used them, it is nice to know that better ink is available if we want to print pictures.

If I could, I would've given this printer a 4.5, but I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 for two reasons. The ink cartridges are small (about 10 mls of black and 5 mls for each color in one color cartridge) and HP ink is expensive. However, we get around this by almost always printing in draft mode and using third-party ink refill kits. [...]

The second reason is that to be able to scan directly from the printer to a computer, you must have HP's software installed. It is bulky (450-700MB!), takes a long time to install, and had issues with antivirus and firewall software during the install itself. I had to manually go into the task manager and figure out which files were for the virus scanner (symantec 10) and shut them down. Also, if you want to play around with the scanning resolution and color settings, it must be done from the computer. When it is finally up and running, several printer related programs will run in the background with a total usage of 20 MB of RAM, which is not insignificant if you have an older machine or are running memory-intensive software. To To HP's credit, the software is pretty easy to use though.

Overall, I would highly recommend this printer to anyone looking to consolidate and expand their printing needs into one machine.

Review: Conflicting Reviews. My experience was bad
by: David Cook on date: October 20, 2006

I read the many good reviews for the 6310. I had a very bad experience. Could not hook to through the network. Hooked with a USB cable but could not scan. Tried for company help. On line chat took forever and just sent web pages I could have opened and read. Hard to even break through to techncian on the phone and then no help. Just told me to reinstall. Installed several times to no avail. Too many variables. Some people have a good experience but mine was unfortunately no so.

Review: Drivers...
by: Todd on date: November 9, 2006

The product appears to be everything one would want in a printer - the problem is the drivers. Not only do the drivers take 700+ MB of disk space which is outrageous, but they crash often. In addition, the programs that come with the printer are unstable. Good hardware, poor drivers make this a pass.

Review: Does The Job Nicely
by: Kirk A. Stokes on date: November 7, 2006

This machine has performed flawlessly for me. No problems at all. Would recommend to anyone who needs an "all in one" type of machine for printing, faxing, scanning and copying. It takes a little "brain power" to learn the operation, but anyone that can browse the internet and use a pc can learn it with no problem.

Review: HP 6310
by: James L. Gregory on date: November 10, 2006

It does everything it says it is supposed to do. Set up was easy and I have it networked to 2 other PCs. I've only had one problem so far. When I choose the 6310 it changes my default printer to the 6310 and I dislike that very much. I'm not sure if it's the printer or something microsoft XP does but if I knew it was the printer I would rate it even lower.

Review: Decent, but software leaves something to be desired
by: J. Margolese on date: November 10, 2006

Installation worked on two out of three computers. (Bad CD required a download of the software.) On the third computer, running Windows XP, nothing special, the install succeeds and it checks out status correctly, but it can't print over the network which is the whole point of this model. HP Support basically says: "Reinstall software until the pain stops".

Review: This is a Fabulous AIO
by: K. Kalyanam on date: November 19, 2006

This AIO is fabulous. Here are some of the features that I have tried:

1. Network Connectivity: (Excellent)

I was very interested in the network connectivity aspect, both wired and wireless. It turns out that all you need to do is connect an ethernet cable from the printer to a wireless router and it works without any glitches. Any printer with the HP software installed will be able to see the machine thru a 802.11 wifi network and print to it. We print to this machine from anywhere in the house and even from our yard!!

2. Print quality: So the black and white and color prints have been quite good. I have not tried any super high quality color printing yet.

3. Print speed: More than acceptable to me.

4. Scanner: (excellent for everyday scanning)

Real easy to use. Works really well. You can control the scanner from your PC or from the AIO itself. If scanning from the AIO it will let you choose anyone of the PC's that is connected to the network and will also allow you to create jpeg or pdf files.

5. Fax: Excellent for everyday faxing.

Both scan and fax can done using a document feeder or by placing a single sheet on a scanner.

Again it is a no brainer to use the fax.

6. Installation: Only gripe (very small). It takes about 20-30 minutes to install the software drivers. But it might be worth it as it works flawlessly after you go thru the install.

7. Replacement of cartridges: Very easy and robust. I used to own a Canon AIO..was very hard to replace cartridges. Very delicate. During a cartridge replacement I broke a fastner and a spring and that was the end of the machine.

HP really knows how to build printers!!! They are the best!!

Review: Uninstallable Printer !!!!
by: Richard A. Morrison on date: November 20, 2006

My experience with the HP 6310 was a disaster. After installing/uninstalling for 7 days, I could not get this printer to work correctly. I spent many hours with HP email support. They would send directions to complete on the 4th day that they sent me on the 1st day !
I am by no means a stranger to computers, so if you are, beware this printer....

Review: Utter trash
by: JL on date: December 16, 2006

This terrible printer, my fifth from HP on their pay-us-money-to-fix-your-stuff plan, now resides in the bottom of the local dumpster. I've had it with HP forever, as apparently have scores of CNET reviewers.

I won't support HP's pay-as-you-go "service plan because none of their items work as advertised. These aren't printers, they're shredders. A close friend had the same difficulty. I'm back to my pair of reliable Brother printers...

This unit was the third "upgrade" HP shipped my on my nickle, and all three models and all five units either shreded paper, chronically failed software installations, or droped networking.

Never again, HP; go back to wiretapping, apparently you know how to do that even if you don't know how to build a printer, stand behind it, provide comprehensible "tech support", or write a working piece of software.

As a business owner I depend on my hardware -- my classic HP 5L laser was unstoppable. But something's changed at HP...

Review: HP sure isn't what it used to be!
by: Debbie U on date: January 6, 2007

I purchased this all in one to replace my HP T45 which was great until Windows XP came along. XP and the T45 drivers don't like each other and have become an issue (and HP won't update because they'd rather me buy a new machine!). Anyhow ~ purchased this on Wednesday evening - spent 2 hours getting it all to work (problems with fax). Checked everything out and it all worked. Turned it off and went to bed. Woke up Thursday morning and went to show my husband how to use the fax and it won't work! Tells me the cartridges are jammed and/or paper jam. Neither problem exists. Did everything suggested by the manual and on line before contacting HP service. HP service sent me a list of things to try - the same things i've already done! I'm returning the unit today and looking at the Canon MP830. They sure don't make them like they used to!

Review: Great all-in-one for home use
by: Swim Good on date: December 18, 2006

I purchased this all-in-one from Amazon about three months ago to connect to my wireless network at home. So far, I have had no problem printing from my wireless laptop computers anywhere in my house. The quality of color printing is great with reasonable speed. The fax and copy functions are convenient and easy to use. I have only used the scan funtion occasionally, and it seems to work well. Most importantly, it has survived my pre-schooler's copying of socks, pens, stuffed animals, and such. So far, I am quite happy with this purchase. It looks like the price has come down some since when I purchased it. So if you need a device that does everything under the sun: print, scan, fax, and copy, AND is network ready so that you may share the device with all of your wireless and hard-wired computers, this is a good one to get.

Costco carries a HP ink pack with two black 98 and one color 95 that is reasonably priced.

Review: CONSTANT PROBLEMS - ESPECIALLY WITH MAC
by: Cholmondley on date: March 28, 2007

Since we bought this to work with our Mac, we have had nothing but problems. If asked to print one page of a document only, it freaks out, all the lights flash and has to be turned off an on again to reset it and calm it down! Have had long sessions with HP customer service on the phone and they haven't a clue. If we could have been bothered, we would have taken it back, but just live with the fact that we have to print excess pages (at least we do recycle). There are various other things that also cause it to freak and flash, can never work out specifically what, we just sigh and reset it. Will be looking for something else to upgrade to soon.

Review: HP 6310 All in one Printer, Scanner, Copier, FAX
by: John V. Ammann on date: March 9, 2007

I am very pleased with this product. It really serves my purpose extremely well, and it is very affordable. I can't believe the savings of $35.00-$50.00 shopping through Amazon. The delivery time was extremely fast and proficient. I would recommend this machine to anyone, and make sure they purchase it from Amazon for the outstanding savings.

Review: be careful with paper jam
by: Ichiro Suzuki on date: January 27, 2007

I had one paper jam in 6months. eversince then, screen kept saying "paper jammed" although there was no perper at all. Manual said you shouldn't remove a jammed paper from the front, should use back door because the feeder is very sensitive. I pulled out a peper when only the begining of the paper was jammed. I thought that shouldn't completely ruin the feeder though it's very sensitive. I had to return it because there was no way to fix it. Otherwise it had nice functions, fast, pretty fast wireless response. I liked it except the sensitive paper feeder.

Review: Nice piece of equipment
by: John Kingsepp on date: January 9, 2007

We use this for a small home network. Two kids in college and one in high school doing reports, digital camera photo printing and even copying. Works very well. Have not had to replace the cartridges yet, but only had the unit for about two months. We are very happy with the purchase.

Review: HP Officejet 6310
by: J. Sanford on date: January 9, 2007

Over the years, I have had many printers. This particular printer was purchased because I had to have the ability to scan. I am very pleased with its printing speed and quality, and the scanning function works well. I do not use the fax function, although I am confident it would work as advertised. HP has never let me down.

Review: Nice product, bad software & support
by: C. Dreher on date: January 7, 2007

I have been using my Officejet for about 3 months now. I have it installed directly to my home network. From the beginning there have been software problems resulting in various error messages on all 4 PCs on the network. A small nusiance. On one PC I am not able to scan, but all the others work fine. Online tech support has been no help after 15+ hours. As far as the quality of the machine, it prints, copies, faxes, and scans (except for the one PC) very nicely for the price range that it is in. In conclusion, I am an advanced PC user, and with all my expertise I am still having problems getting the software just right. I'm sure it's a networking problem and I would bet anyone installing it directly to a PC would have no problems. Otherwise, good luck.

Review: Not thrilled with this product
by: Michele on date: January 7, 2007

This All-in-One is a nice looking, compact product. It was easy to set up. The cover for the scanning area feels flimsy and I am not happy with the paper feed. It feeds two pieces of paper at a time even if I fan the paper prior to loading it. It is hard to judge how far to actually push the paper in when loading it. If the paper is pushed too far in it will cause a paper jamb. Clearing jambs?? Not EASY!!!! Even though the description tells the speed of copying - one does not realize how S L O W it actually is. Overall... not worth the $199 I paid for it. Sorry HP, I have always liked the other HP products I have purchased in the past!

Review: Good All-in-One but Guzzles Ink
by: J. Stanton on date: January 7, 2007

I bought the HP 6310 AIO mostly for its high quality scan & fax capabilities and occasional color printing. I prefer to print my digicam pictures at a commercial dye sub photo lab, so the photo quality was not a factor in my purchase. Knowing that the HP 98 black ink cartridge has 11ml of ink and doesn't last too long as compared to legacy HP printers, I still prefer to print B&W using my 5+ year old HP 1100 LaserJet printer. That being said, the B&W as well as color (non photo) quality of this printer is excellent.

I had no problems installing the included HP software & network driver but decided to revert to the USB connection due to multiple "Server Busy" dialog boxes in WinXP SP2 when scanning a document. This error occurred on a 100 Mbps wired connection despite running all of HP's latest software updates which includes a "fix" for a similar problem.

The Good: High quality scan, fax, copy, and B&W print capability. USB 2.0 & Network connection can run concurrently. Front panel controls easy to use without a computer. Scan software has OCR capability & can scan to searchable PDF.

The Not So Good: Small ink cartridge with high ink usage, problems scanning over network, HP software launches multiple processes in WinXP, uses 12W of power while OFF. Scanning is a tad slow & precision is required to properly align document when copying/scanning.

While HP definitely delivers with the scan/fax/copy functionality of the Officejet 6310, the ink usage issue makes this AIO more suited for home office applications with light to moderate printing. If you need to do more printing, then consider augmenting with a laser printer & keep this printer for its non-print functionality.

Review: Horrible software..
by: Magic on date: March 30, 2007

Installation: express install is over 200MB, full install about 650MB!!!
It REQUIRES you to upgrade to Internet explorer 6 to continue installation (how it this related to printer installation, and what if I don't use internet explorer - I do not). Install takes forever, is memory hog, then tries to sign you up for some services.
I used to like HP printers. I'm completely disappointed with the software to the point that I would rather have other printer than deal with this type of software..

Review: Never buying an HP Printer again!
by: J. Gargiulo on date: April 5, 2007

I've tried to install this Printer on several machines running Windows XP via Ethernet and every time on each machine there has been a problem with the installation (which btw takes about 25 minutes to complete).

This scanner's TWAIN driver does not work well at all with any version of Adobe Acrobat Writer (I've tried versions 5, 6.0, and 7.5). One cannot scan documents directly from Adobe Acrobat to create a file. HP Support does not recognize this as their issue. As I am someone who relies heavily on Acrobat Writer (which costs twice as much as this printer), I cannot tolerate this incompatibility.

I am sending this printer back and going with my father-in-laws advice. "HP is no longer a quality product, but another brand like Brother"

Overall, I am very disappointed in this product. It is sad to see that my old HP Bubble Jet Printer (which is 10 years old and still working fine), is built with a much higher standard of quality than this current 6310.

Review: HP 6310 has awful software
by: John L. Mauer on date: April 15, 2007

I installed this machine on a home office network via Ethernet. The install took awhile, and changed registry settings without asking. Uninstall did NOT restore the system to it's original state; only hours of manual resetting did that. How many users can restore the registry?

Further, the software/drivers do not like the printer turned off or missing. If you install this on a road laptop, you can expect a program, HPZinw12.exe, to search for the missing printer every 100 seconds or so using all available CPU time. If you are unlucky enough to be in the middle of a client presentation, the chances are good that you have just lost the job.

If you turn off the printer in the office, your office systems will also search for the printer and display an unclosable dialog asking you to switch to an unknown program while using most of their available CPU time. (Please note that 6 hidden dlls are also running at all times.) This software is totally equivalent to a virus except for duplication.

I returned this system and will never buy another HP product.

Review: Cheap Item, Poor Software, Worse Support
by: Jay Goldberg on date: April 22, 2007

I didn't purchase this one...it was a gift. I was hoping for a laser printer like one of the Brother All-In-Ones.

I opted to install the Lite version of the software from hp.com. I would suggest that everyone do this. The Lite version only has the drivers, none of the HP bull software that is included usually.

The thing that bothered me the most was the Automatic Document Feeder. I would start a scan job and everything is going fine, and then on the 5th or 6th page the whole process would just hang. I had over 500 pages of documents to scan, and this machine really let me down.

Amazing how Hewlett-Packard can't even write reliable drivers.

I gave the item 2 stars because I got it to print sometimes. No buy.

Review: Functionally works great, some little quirks in configuration management
by: PB Addict on date: April 15, 2007

The printer and scanner both have worked flawlessly and up to specifications. I have a mix of Windows XP and Vista laptops and the software installed without problem. A few quirks though:

- When the printer is used in network mode (not USB mode) there is an option to secure the settings by pointing your browser to the IP address of the printer, going to the Network Settings, and clicking on the authentication bar. I set the password there, it "implies" the username is Admin. The next time I went to access the network settings, I couldn't get the password to take. I tried different possible usernames, and eventually called the HP help desk. There is absolutely nothing on the HP website or in the 6310 manual around security. After fifteen minutes of begging just for the username on the security logon and getting walked through all sorts of other options, the HP support person told me there was no security option on the printer itself. This was just after the support person walked me to the authenticate tab. Sigh. However, I was chatting with a person at work and she told me the username field needs to be blank. Tried it and it worked fine. Blessings be to my fellow geek. :-)

- I was having problems keeping the printer consistently identified to the laptops using my Linksys router. So I set it to a fixed IP address. I moved to a NetGear router and couldn't get the printer to attach to the router. I reset the printer to factory specs, and still couldn't get it to connect. I reconnected the old router and lo and behold, when the printer resets to factory specs it does not clear the network settings. I reset it the printer to dynamic addressing while attached to the Linksys router and it now works fine with the Netgear router.

A specific benefit for me is that I was able to acquire 8 reams of A6 paper in a garage sale (slightly longer and narrower than US paper). My cheaper HP printer couldn't adjust to A6, but this model works great to many paper sizes.

Review: Just what wife wanted
by: Family Man on date: May 9, 2007

Looking for an inexpensive fax/printer combo. Other printer is larger photo printer that just didn't make sense for printing recipes for the wife. Small footprint, fast printing, decent software. The memory card slots for digital cameras comes in quite handy as well. Installation was a breeze, software is not bad. Good product for the money would buy it again.

Review: Great product
by: Ruth on date: May 6, 2007

Can't ever go wrong with an HP! All the basic functions/highlights that an office printer/copier/fax has (except that it's inkjet) but prints quickly and produces great quality reproductions. pictures come out pretty well too. Very high quality prints for the standard everyday user.

Review: Bad product - can i put zero stars!
by: Gheard on date: May 22, 2007

Worked ok for a year with very little use. After warranty expired (1 year). I got a "reset power" error. This is a fatal error. Do a google search: HP6310 all-in-one with this error "reset power" and see the feedback from dissatisfied existing HP 6310 all-in-one owners before purchasing this product. You are warned. Worst purchase i ever made!!!!

Review: Easy to install and use, with great results
by: J. Feinstein on date: May 14, 2007

I set this up on the wireless router in 10 minutes (including installing the software). It prints well and scans without a hitch wirelessly. The auto sheet feeder worked for me 20 pages at a clip. Recieves and sends faxes quickly. It does its job well. Done.

Review: Great product
by: Steve Simmons on date: May 13, 2007

This device is nothing short of excellent. Initial setup, including getting it on my network, took about 5 minutes. There's no lengthy startup as with some other printers - press the power button and it's available for use in about 5 seconds.

Print quality is second to none, and speed is similarly good. The sheet-fed scanner was an item I was a little concerned about prior to purchase. At this pricepoint it seemed too good to be true, but I've run several multiple-sheet scanning jobs using the sheet feeder and it performs remarkably well. Hopefully it'll stand up over time, and I see no reason why it wouldn't.

I highly recommend this product.

This printer is fast for both black and color and it was easy to set up. The quality is good and I have no complaints. Also the shipping was very quick.

Review: The Grinder
by: Aunt Mary on date: May 31, 2007

I purchased this printer in July, 2006. It functioned well, easy to install, although a hog on memory and a hog on ink. Fax easy to send and document feeder worked without problem. Then it started a grinding noise each time the carriage went across. It is still working, grinding its way back and forth. A friend owns the same printer and he said that his also started grinding and then it just froze up. He bought another printer.

I contacted HP and they offer replacement with like unit for $99 and a warranty of 90 days. The inital cost of $170 with only 10 months of satisfactory service makes me wonder if another $99 is a good deal. I used to think HP's were good as long as the drivers worked well with the computer platforms, and were reasonable in terms of ink use.

It really seems that the manufacturers are making cheap machines and making their profit on ink. I'd pay more for a machine that was made better and was ink friendly.

Review: Never able to install
by: r4books on date: June 26, 2007

Hours. Hours I spent trying to install this printer for my mother.
Her computer runs XP, she has DSL, and we were connecting through a USB.
Every time the software got 3/4 of the way through the installation, it would stall and lock up the computer.
I used the help information provided by HP which involved messing with config files, which I'm not particularly comfortable with. Instead of resulting in a successful update, I ended up having to completely restore her computer.
It was all very frustrating. We're going to try the Canon Pixma instead.

Review: Very Good Product
by: J. Nicholls on date: June 11, 2007

I have always owned HP printers and have never been disappointed with their performance. This printer is no exception. It's quiet, fast, and puts out a great product. I'm very please with the printer.
