A great little printer once the wireless issues are sorted
Written by PS from Lichfield
Feb 21, 2009
I bought this at the same time as my new imac as I wanted to be able to save space by having the printer somewhere different to th…Read moree computer itself. It also made life much easier to print from the various computers I use for home and work use.
I opted for this one as I wasn't too bothered about the photo quality (although this is good on this model) and simply needed a reliable machine to copy, scan and print. The initial set up was straightforward and I could not understand what a lot of the fuss was about with the wireless setup - I had a desktop and a laptop setup in around 15 mins with no issues. The printer worked fine at first, but then I switched it off and could not get it to print again when switched back on.
This problem became very frustrating as printing a simple document became a major hassle as each time I turned the printer back on I had to realign the wireless settings - not what I had been looking for. Eventually I wiped the software and started from scratch, including realigning the print cartridges - since then it has worked fine 0 first time every time and I am very happy with the product.
The print quality is very good, colour is sharp with decent contrasts and the black print is very crisp. I use the printer mainly for black text based documents for work and found that the default settings can drink ink quite quickly, although after a little fiddling with the settings I print most documents on the 'fast draft' option and this works perfectly for letters and things. I simply up the setting if I am printing documents with graphics and tables.
Overall, after the initial hiccoughs, I am very pleased with this product, but there clearly is some issue with the reliability of the wireless drivers and novices may struggle to troubleshoot if there are problems.(3 of 3 people found this review useful)

Amazing!!!

This is the best printer I have ever-owned. The built in wifi (802.11g) works like it should with the ability to bypass a router a…Read morend connect directly to a Mac or PC. It prints fast, and has amazing ink economy. The scanner is a bit slow, but for the price that can be expected. You can also bypass a computer and print directly from a Camera memory card, via its one inch screen. It is cheaper at other stores but with apple you get their amazing customer service.
One con is that it is 802.11g as opposed to 802.11n which would allow for faster data transfer, but printers have often been the last ones to catch up with technology.(210 of 226 people found this review useful)

Bought this printer today, I'd been looking for ages for a decent wireless printer that wasn't too big or too pricey. Walked into…Read more the Apple Store on Regent Street and was confronted with this beauty, nice size, nice price, and looked like it would do the job nicely. AND - it's got a scanner, copier, card reader as well, all for sub £90. Setup was really really easy - I set up 2 laptops in about 15 mins, and it prints great.
I'm sure HP will get me on the price of replacement inks, but hey you can't have everything!! I can't believe I'm banging on about a printer on a Sunday night. I really should get out more, but thought I'd share this with you. Well impressed.(147 of 155 people found this review useful)
