Not worth the money spent [Posted on 2000-12-11] The HP 2250 produces high-quality pictures in slightly less than the promised time. Installation is somewhat difficult (HP only provides a double-sided sheet with pictures) and various driver downloads are required before the printer will actually function (without the driver download, the paper will not feed properly). The HP 2250 proves to be tempermental and prints out a tester page everytime you need to print anything. There is a small screen on the printer, which is supposed to indicate ink levels (there are four separate ink cartidges), however, my screen remains blank. HP generally produces excellent printers, but stay away from this one. Too many glitches.
HP 2200cxi [Posted on 2001-05-11] We own several 2200cxi's and all have performed great so far. My only complaint would be that they don't do double sided printing.
Works with Linux [Posted on 2001-06-19] HP has a reputation for making great printers and this is no exception. This printer works just as advertised. I downloaded the ghostscript driver for this printer from hp.sourceforge.net, recompiled ghostscript following the directions included with the documentation, and have been happily printing since. The downloaded source for the driver does not say it offers full feature printing, but it's close enough for me and probably most applications where this printer will be used, without having to purchase the PCL/PS upgrade or the jet direct print server. If you are looking for a economical, but heavy duty printer, this is it. Just spend a few minutes downloading and compiling and it works for Linux too.
Paper handling is poor [Posted on 2001-09-02] This printer looks great on paper but we had numerous & continuing problems w/the paper handling. There was a firmware change & that seemed to help but paper keeps getting coming out in bunches & output print gets scattered & totally unusable. At times it has been a disaster.
