Don't buy if you have a mac. [Posted on 2008-02-13] This just won't work well with a Mac. It is not directly supported by HP and the open source drivers produce muddy color pictures at best. Go with an HP 2605 or The new Brother wireless color laser printer instead.
nice until it breaks, and it will [Posted on 2008-04-13] Mine broke after 1 year of light use. It started to marble the page and smeared a vertical red line on the left side of the page. Other users reported similar problems.
It's an excellent printer for about a year, after that you can throw it away (which is not that easy btw).
You save money because it is low priced, but it will cost you a lot in the end. The expensive toners are not that much of an issue because it probably doesn't last that long ...
Very disappointed [Posted on 2008-04-26] I purchased this printer believing that I was getting a good deal on a cost-effective, efficient printer. I was disappointed on several fronts. First, the print quality was poor, with smudges that no fix suggested by the trouble shooting materials were able to eliminate. Secondly, all purchasers should be very aware that the printer comes with toner cartridges that only produce 1000 pages. Replacement toner was quite expensive (nearly $300 for a full set), basically erasing any "value" I thought I might be getting on the product. I returned the printer after less than three weeks and dusted off my older black and white laser printer. By the time all of the actual cost of this printer are added up, the buyer would do better to purchase five decent color injet printers.
Not for Scrapbookers! [Posted on 2008-05-07] The printer has nice colors and prints beautifully if it's on regular paper. However, if you scrapbook and need to print on cardstock, do NOT buy! As a previous reviewer stated it starts to get messy after one copy. I returned mine. Also, it is quite a beast (tall and with a large footprint), so make sure you've got a large space for it to live. I would recommend this printer if you want bright, clear colors on basic paper only (especially if it's on sale for $180 at a local office supply store), which is where I bought and returned mine...
Died, HP refuses to support [Posted on 2008-05-08] Printer worked quite well for a while, print quality and speeds were what we expected. Then the printer began giving error messages indicative of an internal hardware error.
I called HP thinking (stupidly) that they would stand behind the quality of their products. they asked for some numbers inside the printer, then told me that it was out of warranty, and I would have to pay $40 to get technical support. I find it funny that they never bothered to ask when I bough t the printer before stonewalling me with a claim that it was out of warranty.
So now I have a paperweight, because I refuse to spend$40 just to find out what replacement part I need to order to fix HP's garbage. This printer lasted half as long as my Epson inkjet.
DO NOT BUY - The company that makes this product refuses to stand behind it.
