Summary: Rnn away...run away
Comment: Don't be fooled by the performance out of the box! Soon you will see that the paper feed mechanism breaks and then you'll start using language you never knew you had in you.

Seriously - this printer breaks and will lead to frustration. Avoid it at all costs.

Summary: Be Warned : Junk
Comment: Well I never written a review, but i have to write about this one. Buy something else. Even if it is still HP just don't buy this one. It worked great for a few months then it got jammed. Its easy to fix just open the back at there is the paper. I tried to print again and now the paper does not feed. When it does it takes 3 or 4 pages or the whole stack. Then it jams again. JUNK!!!!!!

Summary: Guaranteed to Break
Comment: I bought one of these printers when it first came out and was very excited about the quality of its printing. Then it broke--the paper wouldn't feed. HP sent me another one. It broke. The paper wouldn't feed. Now I'm on printer #3. It's broken (paper won't feed) and I haven't even used up the cartridges it shipped with yet. I can only conclude after having three printers with the same problem that there is something wrong with the manufacture. The printer is well-hyped, but poorly made. Please don't waste your money on it.

Summary: Worst printer I have ever owned
Comment: I have owned several HP printers and have always been impressed. The 8250 however is the worst printer I have ever owned by far. It tells me it is out of paper when it is not. It pulls ten sheets of paper or more at a time. It will just stop halfway through a print job and I have to turn it off to reset it. It will print one page of a print job, then spit out four or five blank sheets before printing another page.
HP still does not have Mac OS drivers for it, so if I want to use the photo paper drawer I have to print from a CF card. After several attempts with HP customer service, they basically told me they didn't want to and couldn't help since I am a Mac user and it works fine with PCs.
As I have said already, I have had several HP printers in the past and have always been impressed, but this is most certainly my last HP.

Summary: This will not save you money
Comment: I am writing this review to help you aviod making a mistake that will cost you money and a search for a new printer. Yes - this does produce great photos at first - but the printer will break down. I know because as other reviewers have said - the paper feeding mechanism breaks.

Don't be fooled by the intial reviews - this will break down shortly after purchase.

I know - because mine just did.

Read all of the reviews - and note that there are alot of us saying the same thing - this will break - and you will have wasted your hard earned money.

Don't do it.
