Flawless. [Posted on 2003-10-29] This printer worked like a champion. I retired it for a 2230 and later for a cp1700. I made countless prints off it. Never had it fail me, misfeed or so much as tell me no. I bought the duplexer and loved that thing too! I wish I had one for this CP1700. The ink prices and refilling the carts are the only complant I have. But it is what it is. All desktop printers are designed to make there bosses money. When you buy a printer you are buying a subscription to ink. Though compared to everything else on the market in it's class the 960 is the champion. If I had to estimate the page count I put on that little machine I'd have to say about 12,000 pages in color over a 1 year period, at least 1,000 pages per month. Most everything I print is full page color. It sucks that HP doesn't make them like the 900 series anymore.
TERRIBLE PRINTER [Posted on 2004-07-09] I've had this printer for a while now, and i rarely can get it to work properly. When it is not taking 2 pieces of paper at a time, it is printing in some strange code. The quality of the picture is alright, but nothing special. I would highly recommend not to buy this printer
Good printer, so so on photos, crap for envelopes. [Posted on 2004-10-01] I have just spent 5 minutes trying to get this damn printer to print an envelope without mangling it. Wonderful.
Fine basic printer [Posted on 2006-04-03] I have had this printer for several years and use it alot. It's fine for general purpose printing. It is slow, but I am able to print out more than 200 meeting notices every month, labels, some photos and there have been few problems. In all these years I think I have had three or four jams, easily fixed. The photos are not the highest quality, but they are more than just OK. I may replace this printer for an all-in-one that scans and photocopies. But for regular color printing, there's nothing wrong with this one, other than it is slow.
A good all-purpose printer [Posted on 2007-01-13] I've had this printer for nearly five years, and it's outstanding for printing text and general purpose printing, including envelopes. I've read some reviews of people having problems with paper feeds and envelopes, but I haven't had one problem yet. This printer has probably spit out about 10,000 pages, and I'm yet to have a problem, other than expensive ink.
I'm really into photography, and I do not use this printer for that - I have a much more advanced printer for that purpose. It's fair to note that HP has a very good track record with photo printers, however. But, this printer has a three color cartridge, so it's not really well suited for printing more than the occasional print.
Overall, this is a great printer that I'd recommend you pick up used if you are looking for a printer to run lots of text through. (I don't believe it's available new anymore.) It takes the widely available HP 45 Black and HP 78 color cartridges. One drawback - the ink is a bit on the pricey side - upward of $30 for the black, and slightly more for the color cartridge. I've tried using generic cartridges, and the print comes out jagged and not readable, so you're better off sticking with the genuine HP cartridges.
HP has lived up to it's well-earned reputation of making solid printers with my HP 960. I won't replace it for printing out text until it dies, and then it will probably be another HP.
