5 out of 5 stars Not on wireless - works well for me!   November 17, 2008
I got this printer free when I ordered my Mac in the summer, and I honestly have no complaints about it. The photos print out clear and crisp (I use Canon Glossy Photo Paper), documents scan and print out well, and in terms of speed, it's fast enough for everyday prints. I've been printing several documents a day and its finally indicating I need more ink for it (although I haven't replaced the cartridges for at least 2 weeks now and it's still going!)

For photo image printing, the Canon photo printers are still a hair above this printer - but for All-In-One use, this printer is a good bet.

NOTE: I noticed a lot of the complaints are related around software and wireless use with this printer. I've hooked it up via USB to both my Dell laptop and my Mac and had no problems with either computer.



1 out of 5 stars WOW!!   November 10, 2008
I have never written a product review, but I feel I need to warn others of this product. This is the worst piece of equipment I have ever purchased. The "ink is running low" message starts appearing from almost the first print after a new cartridge is loaded. Then the black is substituted with purplish-gray ink.... looks awful, even for document printing. The wireless capacity is not being used because of the difficulty in setting it up (and I've installed another HP wireless printer with no problems before), and because my wireless router did not have the necessary female USB port for docking all devices in the setup phase. One more thing: every time the printer runs out of paper and you have to load it again, it prints an alignment page... terribly annoying! Save the money and keep looking!


2 out of 5 stars Ink Guzzler   September 15, 2008
SUVs guzzle gas like this printer guzzles ink. Wow! We've had the printer for about a month and a half and have printed about 1/4 ream of paper (text only). Time to replace the black ink! I received this printer as a Mac promotion - the 30 bucks I paid was worth the wireless printing and scanning, but not much more than that. The black ink cartridge alone averages more than $15 plus tax and/or shipping. If you print a lot of text, buy a cheap, efficient laser printer instead. The toner will last a lot for the average user - we have an Epson laser (cheapee, $120) and I haven't replaced the toner in over a year! Buy a Canon LED scanner for 50 bucks and there you have scanning/copying.


4 out of 5 stars No Problems   August 31, 2008
I read the reviews here, which suggest that you need to download a current driver from HP, at least to get it to work on a Mac wirelessly under Leopard. I did download it, set up the printer over USB to be wireless, and then unhooked it from the computer and plugged it in across the room. I've had zero problems. It's always available to print from multiple computers and multiple users. I've used the scan feature from multiple computers/persons and it works well. Print quality for both text and photos is good for a printer in this price range. I still use my old Canon i960 for larger color photos.


2 out of 5 stars Problems setting up wireless with WPA   August 17, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this originally and had to return it because the ink cartridges would not stay in. The second one resolved this but had trouble with the wireless setup. It would not get past my WPA passphrase. From research I have done this is a common issue. Here is what worked for me:


*Open up the admin interface on the router and changed the security from WPA to disabled. Assume the problem is WPA and changing to WEP as others had done would work also.
*Now finish the install and should be successful.
*Once this is done, go to the printer itself and hit the 802.11 button on the front
*On the top left hand corner on the printer scroll to print Network Configuration page
*On this page make note of the Printer's IP Address
*Open a browser and type in the IP Address. For example whatever is the IP address put the number in after the http://. This opens the interface to manage your printer settings on the device itself
*Verify the Device is Ready with a green checkmark
*Go to the Networking tab on the top left
*Click the Advanced tab on the center of the page
*You will likley see No Authentication or Encryption selected
*Scroll down and choose WPA and Add and Confirm your PassPhrase. Leave all else to the default settings and choose Apply to save
*Now go back to your router's interface in the browser by typing its IP Address
*On your router re-enable WPA security with the pass phrase you entered on the printer interface
*Now print a test page and this should work.
*If it does not, for example when you go to print and see no default printer to select (this happenned to me). Re-run the HP CD but this time it will recognize the printer on the network when you chooose the network setup

Crossing fingers this stays running smoothly. Hope this helps others having this issue. The HP tech support guy said the other, later model printers with wireless work much better and have a wizard that does all this. In fact I would have bought one but did not like having individual ink cartridges! All in all am wondering whether this was worth all the trouble. Will post an update after I used it for awhile
