Comment: R&D Nightmare Rating:
First off, I am a huge HP fan!!! The R&D department should be fired for making this printer. This is the worst printer I have ever used & by far the loudest. I have had 2 of these printers now & they always jam up no matter what type of paper you use. I am taking this one back too & getting a high end HP color laser. All I can say about this product is stay far away & don't even consider thinking about buying one. BTW I am still a huge HP fan.
Comment: Taking it back Rating:
HP misses the mark on this one. Took hours to set up. Could not connect with USB on Windows XP. "24 hour" HP tech support closes at 5. Clearing paper jams requires removing major components. The unit churns, clangs, and roars like a beast. Print quality is okay, however.
Comment: Nice try Rating:
I like that this is a real toner laser printer as opposed to one of those wax-type printers and that it is pretty fast. Drivers are OK but could use some help (I'm using win2000). Of course the price is great for a color laser!
Didn't like that it is kinda loud - can't print after family goes to bed! Also, it is not picture quality. The colors are sometimes WAY off, the drivers have no adjustment for this and the quality is like a magazine print - nasty dot effect. Finally, the toner rubs off on light colors! Really wierd.
In conclusion, I should have bought a simple B&W laser and a color Inkjet Photo printer to serve my needs. My wife says I'm not allowed to make this sort of purchase anymore and is confiscating the credit cards after this one! :-)
