Summary: Very good but incompatible with 64-bit OS
Comment: Pros: A very nice output both in black, and in color. Great high-res scans. Prints very nice color photos too. Pretty fast, high quality copying done by pressing one button only (your great grandmother can do it :>) Had it for six months and no, it doesn't look like it's going to fall apart.
Cons: Bought it for my 64-bit computer only to find out that no 64-bit drivers are available for it. HP keeps promissing those drivers but promises are cheap.... The message on their web site says: "The driver will be available before the end of the year". But it was saying the same thing last year also. Well, I am using it now with my old 32-bit system and waiting for that magical "before the end of the year time" some time in the future.

Comment: You are screwed. I have had this printer for 14 months
and now it is dead. I replaced a printer cartridge and then
got an error that the cartridge wasn't installed right.
When I reopened it, the cartridge had fallen out and there
were springs and a plastic piece lying on the bottom with it
and I have no idea where they came from. Needless to say it doesn't work. Now I am not a mechanical genius but I still think that if one installs a printer cartridge incorrectly it shouldn't cause the whole printer to fall apart. I can't afford $100 a year for a printer. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Works ok for a very short time
Comment: I bought this printer from Target for my daughter at college.
She was very happy with it for a few months, when it suddenly stopped working - wouldn't turn on at all. She spent hours on the phone waiting for HP tech support. She was sent an identical printer and had to return hers to HP. Unfortunately, it WAS identical in that it didn't work either. The next time she talked to tech support, they tried to talk her into trading up to a much more expensive printer!

Summary: Horrible. horrible
Comment: Anyone giving this printer a good review has obviously not used it for a long period of time.
It worked like a dream for about...7 months.
Then, it randomly stopped working and paper jammed to high hell.
And these are not easy to remedy paper jams. They are - you follow the instructions on how to clear them, and they don't go away...every single paper after the initial jam will never print normally again.
This horrible printer will just grab pieces of paper (even when it's not printing) and just freeze.
PLEASE, before you buy this, take a look at the negative reviews being listed in here. They are RIGHT!
It paper jams, wastes printer cartridges (I buy new ones and the quality is still horrid), stalls.
You might think you're getting such an amazing deal when you buy this heap of garbage, but you will pay for it in the long run, when you have to buy a new printer.
I bought this with the idea I was saving money, and getting a rebate deal. I mailed mine out perfectly, and of course never got anything in return.
Don't waste your money on this; you'll pay for it with headaches, anger and more money later down the line.
You may think I'm just bitter, and heck yes, that is true, but I am also making certain that people who feel they could use this to BEWARE. It is a horrid, horrid printer.

Comment: I hate this printer. I got it super cheap when a local Circuit City closed down and sold off floor models. I design business cards, pamplets, etc. on my computer as a side business while going to college and suffice to say, printing them on this printer can't happen. Nothing lines up correctly. It completly ignores the margins I've set. Everything prints at a slanted angle. And then to make it even better, it will print say 3 pages perfect and then never print it right again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER if you need it to print on anything other than standard paper. It will not do it.
