hp printers. by saralk on 02-16-2005 at 12:32 PM

I got a new printer with my pc about 4 months ago.

The printer came with some ink cartidges, which I thaught would be the crappy half-full cartidges that ran out really quickly.

Even the set-up was a dream, turn it on, put paper in, it prints out a test page, scan the test page in and its done.

However it has been three months and I have printed loads of stuff out, ive been printing letters, 60 page documents on high quality, pictures on high quality, everything, im very pleased with it.

The quality is really good, the scanner is amazing and the memory card reader works brilliantly, plus it has loads of good features like if you put a memory card with pictures you can print out a preview of all the images on the card, then tick the ones you want to print, scan it in and it prints them all out, without the PC even being on!

It also has loads of little cool things that just make it an amazing printer, for example, it always prints in reverse order, so the pages come out in the they were meant to be in, and you can photocopy without the PC being on.

And this printer wasnt even a top quality, £300 printer, it was worth £140, but i got it included in a media package with my PC.

What I am saying is that when you next get a printer, get a HP printer for trouble free, economic printing.

Before I got my HP, I had a lexmark, and that was a headache, it didn't work with my PC so i had to phone a premium rate number and speak to a clueless 16 year old girl for an hour who was looking everything up on a PC, and the ink cartriges ran out really quicky too.

When i did get it working, set-up was way too complicated, about 4 different test pages.

Thats what i feel as well. I dont have a printer at home but who ever does, has a hp one only. One of my friends visited his dad who's working in the uk. There with his cell phone he took many pics. He printed the pic of the london bridge over the thames river on glss paper at high quality and it looked like it was actually a read picture which was taken by a camera and which was developed in the studio. U can see the beautiful pic absolutely perfectly. It was awesome.
So imo in printers Hp rules

I have a HP printer myself too, before the i've had various dot matrix printers (yet, i had cheap hardware when i was young ). Also had Lexmark and Epson inkjets but they don't even come close to HP's quality in my opinion.

In printer history, ive had...

a canon ribbon printer (from the 80s)
Epson Stylus Colour 300
Epson Stylus Colour 400
Lexmark Printer/Scanner X1130
HP psc 1335 all in one

The HP has by far been the best (ok i cant really compare a ribbon printer from the 80s to a ultra modern printer/scanner). The epson printers ran out of ink too quickly and the printing heads got dirty a lot, and cleaning them used up ink so (N)

Ya, I have an HP 7760 which I bought almost exactly a year ago. I still haven't changed the ink cartridges and it has amazing quality
It was $250 Canadian and has a 2" LCD preview screen, card reader, picture paper tray and more
