Online support useless. [Posted on 2006-08-04]
OK so I am some what computer savey and why would I say that I manage 24 stores that have anywhere from 5 computers to 12, so I do have some basic Knowledge. Online support is useless. Unless the problem that you have is so basic that a 10 year old can resolve they havent a clue, or at least the two that I got didnt seem to know. It seemed like the instructiona they were giving me was right out of the text book. Oh they probably were because everything they kept tellig me to do was the basic stuff that I did. Lets not forget that once your chat begins these guys are on a time litmit amd that is about an hour and then they are quick to tell you some bull response so that they can disconnet. This keeps upper managment happy, they see the report and they tell the manager what a great job you are doing. Do not buy this item unless you are ok with buying another because it seems that this is what I will have to do. Oh and do not use the online support unless your not savey with technology otherwise it feels like youve been insulted by these kronies. So do the research first and find out which product is best and buy it and hope you do not have to deal with online support.
terrible software, ok printer [Posted on 2007-01-02]
The software, including drivers, is poor. The scanning functionality is especially bad. We were able to live with the software shortcomings. But now after owning the printer for a year the black and white printing stopped working. Did all of the troubleshooting steps I found on-line to no avail. Now I've sunk way too much time into getting it to work again so I will scrap it. I definitely won't get another HP.
Scanner is absolute junk! [Posted on 2007-01-11]
The scanner worked once in the entire 1 year that I had this printer. The drivers are horrible! All it does is display a bunch of blurry horrizontal lines when it scans with some colors from the document you have in the scanner..... and nothing is legible. Don't waste your money.... all this printer is good for is being a semi-decent printer for word processing.
Great when it works! [Posted on 2007-06-02]
For the moment I am ready to put this out for the garbage guy. Does anyone else seem to have the same problem with theirs. Seems like after we use the photo card and later want to print a word doc. the printer doesn't want to work. I have turned it off and on several times...usually the printer will just click and I shut it off for about an hour...then it will print. Now it just wants to send out blank copies like it's lost it's train of thought. This item was not cheap when we bought it...I guess it's been 3yrs ready for a NEW one!!!
Good Luck!!!
Great when the drivers aren't bad! [Posted on 2007-08-17]
I have used this printer for about 3 years, and it has basically done everything I've asked of it, except scan high-definition images. Considering the price range, though, that's a reasonable trade-off. However, it is really bad when HP tries to sabotage its own customers when they release bad drivers DESIGNED TO BREAK THE PRINTER. After a lot of headaches, a through testing of the printer for about 10 hours, searching on the web for answers, I finally found what I needed to hear. You can replace the defective drivers of this printer with the HP Deskjet 990c when you set up this printer. If you bought this printer for maybe copying and printing, you can just install the 990c's drivers on XP and skip the SOFTWARE THAT HP FORCES YOU TO INSTALL. Anyway, good printer for the money, but HP really tried to screw their customers with bad drivers (I would assume a bad executive trying to squeeze more sales), and they're going to pay for it in sales of other printers.
