it looks pretty on my desk atleast.... but not functionable.... [Posted on 2007-09-20]
This printer continuously jams. I waste paper. I waste ink. It prints on multiple pages, grabbing chunks of paper at a time. The jams are annoyingly often enough that I don't print as much as I initially intended to. I'm waiting for this one to die completely so I can purchase a better one.... it won't be long. And the ink it goes through is amazing for as many times as I can't print because it's jammed!
Decent Quality [Posted on 2007-09-27]
I've had this printer for over a week now and it hasn't jammed or anything. I did notice that sometimes there is black/yellow smearing from the printheads. I expected better quality, but overall, it's decent for the cost per black printed page; what is it--like 1.5 cents??? Can't complain.
HP Officejet Pro K550 printer- Major Dissapointment [Posted on 2007-10-29]
My experience with this printer pretty much mirrors the experiences of the other negative reviews. My major complaint is that it will misprint on 2-3 sheets of paper instead of one. When printing Quickbboks checks, instead of putting several checks in the tray, I have to feed one check at a time. I've downloaded driver updates with no success. Save your money and buy another brand of printer.
Stay away from this money-eating piece of junk! [Posted on 2007-11-21]
This printer does not work.
I have spent over 2 hours on the phone, both times to get replacements for printing heads. This was after little to no use of this printer, mere months after buying it.
Then, this thing will empty your ink cartridges whether you use them or not. I have printed 3 color pictures only, and always select to print in low-quality, black only. Yet, I now have to replace ALL 4 cartridges (80$ total) for the SECOND time because this thing thought my black text needed more cyan and yellow in it.
I am so sick and tired of this thing. It has cost me over 200$ in ink alone, for 100 pages of low-quality text.
Also, the firmware upgrade program crashed and my printer can't even work at all anymore.
I am never buying HP again.
DO NOT BUY HP Pro K550 [Posted on 2008-01-14]
Having been an owner of an 890, two 895's and one 990, I saw no problem with buying this as those 4 were service free-3 still are in use.
I was wrong.
Within 3 weeks it started printed blank pages and then jamming.
Unit replaced with a refurb. 9 months later the same problem.
Without wasting your time and more of mine, I have spent 4.5 hours in 4 phone calls trying to get it addressed. Currently, HP is to send another unit after having replaced the print heads which they thought it might be.
Service reps are generally friendly and incompetent although most do not have a good command of English.
Customer service is limited to rigid rules that are not friendly to the customer.
As to print quality it is good, when working.
In closing, if you wish to buy one of these recall what Clint said, "Are you feeling lucky"?
Addendum. One week has passed and I received a replacement-a different model. I called HP, (yep another 35 minutes repeating myself)and was finally told they had no more. I asked why I was not notified about this BEFORE it was shipped. This question was not in the tech's flow chart of questions so he said a level 2 cust serv rep would call in 24-48 hours.
Terrible customer service.
