Summary: It's not THAT bad...
Comment: I've had this printer for almost a year now and I honestly don't think it's as bad as everyone is rating it. Everyone seems to be having paper troubles but I haven't had too many problems in that department. SOMETIMES it'll pick-up two pieces of paper instead of one, but not that often. And really, who cares if it does? After it prints just take the extra paper and put it back into the loading tray. It's not something to stress over...
My real complaints are the scanner and photograph printing. Unlike my last printer, when you scan an image it doesn't automatically crop the excess space around it. You have to manually crop it in Photoshop or any other photo-editing software, which is a little inconvient. Now with printing photographs, that is quite frustrating! You really have to find the right settings to print a picture right, otherwise it'll leave a big, blank strip on your photograph -- so annoying!! Once I figured out the right settings (had to click on the "borderless printing" option AND THEN the "auto fit" option after that -- that's the secret!!) the only problem was the printer's ability to pick up my photo paper. I guess it would pick it up crooked, since when it printed out the picture it was all off-balance on the paper!! You literally have to set the photo paper PERFECTLY STRAIGHT in the loading tray for it to print correctly. Ha so I guess I do have some beef when it comes to this printer's paper-picking abilities, but only for photo paper! I also have a complaint about the printer's ink levels when printing photos. I printed about a dozen 5x7's for my photo portfolio, and by the 10th or 11th picture it was almost out of tri-color ink. Which PISSED me off since it was *at least* 75% full!!! I can't afford to spend $25 every time I want to print out a few photographs -- I'm a poor college student!!
Although, I must say, the nice part about this printer is its printing quality. I was quite surprised by the detail it puts into each photograph... I didn't know an at-home, all-in-one printer could print such beautiful photographs!! And I'm a photo student too, so I'm quite picky about printing quality! LOL
I dunno, this printer is pretty cheap now so I think it's worth the price if you're looking for a decent all-in-one printer. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this one isn't too bad if you're going to use it for regular printing/scanning/copying jobs. If you're a photographer (like me), I think you'd be better off with something else unless you can afford to buy a lot of ink and have lots of patience!!

Summary: Doesn't deserve any stars...
Comment: This printer fails as a printer mainly because paper won't properly feed. HP helpdesk requests you to tap all paper, and put in 10~25 sheets only. This doesn't work. Feeding one sheet at a time manually has at best a 1/10 shot of success. Let's hope HP's refurb replacement printer is better.

Summary: Sorry piece of junk!
Comment: I have had HP printers for years and this is the first one I have ever owned that came out of the box giving problems with paper jams and not feeding paper. If I was Hewlett Packard, I would have recalled this junk or offered to give customers credit for what they paid against another printer. I will never purchase another HP printer. Never!

Summary: Piece of Junk
Comment: First I am disappointed that Amazon makes you give at least one star. My advise on this sorry excuse for a printer is to save your money...save yourself from more gray hairs...save your kids from having to hear you yell obscenities...and don't buy this piece of junk! Unless you enjoy having to load each sheet of paper one at a time every time you print, all the time in hopes that it will take the paper and not jam. If that sounds like fun - then my friend...this is the printer for you! Me on the other hand, I will never own another HP.

Summary: Very dissatified with this *thing*
Comment: This is the first review I have ever written, but I am so annoyed with this so-called printer that I had to add my 2 cents.
My last HP printer lasted for over 5 years before giving up the ghost. I was happy with its preformance. This one I have had about 2 months and I am ready to throw it out the window.
The paper feeding problem is VERY ANNOYING. I find I have to fiddle for many minutes to get it to recognize there is paper in the tray. Then once it does, it has a 50/50 chance of jamming!
For HP to call it a printer is almost funny, because I have yet to have it just print without problems.
I am in the market for a new printer after less than 2 months!
