I've had my HP 2300n LaserJet printer for 8 months, and I'm very satisfied with it. It's my second HP LaserJet. My first was a LaserJet IIID which I bought in 1992 and still use today. I wouldn't have bought the 2300n except that some movers handled my IIID roughly and damaged the duplexing unit which I had been using almost constantly. It really saves paper and file space to print on both sides.When not in use, the 2300n goes into a power-down mode which is silent and makes it seem to be turned off except that an indicator light lets you know it's still on. Send a print job to it while powered down and it immediately springs to life and processes the task just as if it had not been powered down at all. This is a great feature because the machine does not wear itself out whirring away, making noise and using energy as the IIID does when not turned off.The 2300n is fast. The IIID's speed of 8ppm was considered fast when I bought it, but after getting used to 25ppm, I'd hate to give it up. The 2300n prints at a pace I associate more with photocopiers.My IIID had excellent print quality until last year, about 11 years after I bought it. The output has become dirty. It needs cleaning and servicing, but that's not practical now, especially considering that I live far from a service center and my 12 year-old IIID printer weighs 75 pounds.By comparison, the thirty-one pound 2300n is much easier to lift and move. I also like the fact that it takes up much less space than the IIID does, and it doesn't have those paper trays protruding out of it. The paper is nicely tucked away inside, where it should be, in an easy to open drawer. To accomplish this, the machine is intelligently designed to be slightly taller which is not a problem at all, just a better use of space.The IIID has only 300 dpi resolution which is fine for text, but not so fine for graphics. The 2300n prints beautiful graphics, not in color, of course, but when I want color, I use an inkjet. When I want to print a picture with the 2300n, the high resolution is very nice.I'm still using the toner cartridge that came with the shipped unit, but I keep a spare cartridge on hand. A great feature of the 2300n is the economical printing mode. I can easily turn this feature on and off (from within the Windows XP printing menu) and make my toner supply last longer. Unlike with the IIID, which also has an adjustment for toner consumption, with the 2300n, the econo-mode feature takes effect immediately. It makes the print lighter, but it's still quite readable and appropriate for those times when dark print quality is not needed.Whenever I think of my HP 2300n LaserJet, I always get a nice feeling. I can't think of anything I don't like about it. It takes up little space, It's fast, It duplexes, It's economical with time, energy and toner, It's quiet, It networks, It has wireless capability, It's plug and play, It has an easy to use control panel on the front, and I feel confident that it will perform whenever I call on it.I've come to trust the Hewlett Packard name for quality and performance. I teach English at a university in Japan where I write and print a lot of educational materials. Sometimes I make workbooks and print them in my office. I need a workhorse of a printer I can depend on to produce clean clear results. If my 2300n holds up only half as well as my old IIID did, I'll still be very satisfied.

I looked for a while for something affordable but good. I picked this one based on reviews. I like this printer. It is fast and does a good job. The only thing I don't like is that it it sounds like a cheap printer as it makes noise when it prints (like the plastic shakes), but otherwise for the money, it is excellent. It was easy to set up also.

Just recently I have been looking for an all in one printer that can also print good quality photos. I have always bought HP printers so I went to the hp site and looked at what they offered and decided to buy the hp photosmart 3210. So I came to amazon and was surprised to get it at a really great price.Anyway, after ordering I noticed many negative reviews here, mostly about paper feed problems. I was a little worried after reading so many bad reviews but I'm glad I bought it, it is a great printer. In one review I read something about hp having problems with the rollers which was causing the paper feed issue and that they dropped that company and started using new rollers which are black rather than gray. So the first thing I did when it arrived was open the back and check the roller color and they were black.So far I have printed over 100 pages and havent had any paper feed problems. Software install was really simple and i didnt have any problems with it. The photo quality is great even on the normal quality setting. Also the ink doesnt seem to get used up that quick, as i said before, i have printed over 100 pages and about 20 photos and the ink levels havent really gone down at all.I have recommended this printer to a friend and he has placed on order for it and i would recommend it for anyone else looking for a great all in one printer that can do great quality photos. It seems that HP has fixed the paper feed issue with the black rollers. If I have any problems with paper feed I will update my review.

I'm a tech. who recently tried to help install & configure the wifi printer server card which later turned out to be faulty. Installing this printer card properly can become a nightmare! It took over two hrs. with helpful (but SLOW ONLINE LIVE HELP) HP support to finally figure out the card was bad. There are also possible firmware upgrade issues on this wifi device to be aware of. Setting up the different profiles for this rig is not for the novice.

I've had this AIO for about a year and it worked fantastic with everything up to and including Windows XP.Never encountered any of the bugs I've heard reported.Phenominal quality and speed.I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premiumand NONE of it's software worked(compatiblity issue).I now have to scan through MS Paint.HP has no immediate fix for this problem otherthan a generic driver download.I highly reccommend it for many,but not ifyou're going to run any version of Windows Vista.

To start off, let me say that I am traditionally not a fan of HP's products. I did, however, view this all-in-one as having some nicer features than some others and took a chance.I feel that generally HP does well with hardware products and or designs but struggles with their software integration with their products. I feel this is the case here as well. I have had my 3210 for about 2 weeks and here are my experiences.Pros: i) Scanning resolution and overall quality is quite good. ii) Printing quality is also good. I wasn't planning on doing a ton of printing but based on experiences I will probably do more than anticipated because of the good results. iii) Scanning and printing are both pretty quick. Marketed as the fastest picture printer all-in-one on the market... can't compare with others but I suspect they are correct here. iv) I was happy to find in my research that replacement ink cartridges are NOT terribly expensive and they are easy to replace and know if they are running low.Cons: i) Paper magazine is small so it doesn't hold a lot -- minor. ii) Software install was more of a pain than I was expecting. Installation on WinXP SP1 was generally OK but on WinXP SP2 it was a struggle. Not HP's fault, certainly, but they weren't able to make the installation easier to prevent some of these isssues or frustrations. I hope they have a lot of tech support people available as this product sells. iii) Network configuration was not as automated or straight forward as they could have been. iv) Software interface isn't as easy and fluid as it could be. I think that those who purchase this product that don't have some comfort with computers will be on the phone with HP often.Overall, I am pleased with the purchase thus far but still have some configuration to work through. In HP's defense, I haven't called or emailed their tech support -- but I shouldn't have to and my schedule makes this tough. Again, I feel the hardware implementation is quite good but their installation software and interface is lacking.

I'll keep this short...Pros:Prints QUICK.Print quality ROCKS. Even pictures. I normally can see the inkjet 'dots', but this is severely limited with this printer.While cartridges are small, if you print on "Normal" or quick printing, or degrade the saturation on default if you print a lot of for-your-own notes, the cartridges last over a semester of college (that's printing school papers, all class notes, etc)Never had mine jam.Ink cartridges aren't excessively expensive, and a few places give you $3 for bringing in old HP cartridges.Cons:Itty bitty cartridges.Can sometimes take in more than one sheet (inconvenient when printing double sided notes)When using the fastest setting, the printer doesn't so much as "set" the paper in the finished document holder ... it'd be more accurately described as an "emergency ejection"Printer is a bit noisy on normal settings. On the fastest settings, it wakes the dead.

...until I discovered it doesn't work with Vista.Since every other printer I have (Samsung, Sony, Epson, Kodak) works fine in Vista (I'm in the photo biz and have a lot of printers!), I can only conclude that HP is doing something "nonstandard" in its driver and if it followed the rules for writing a printer driver it would have worked.If you think you may run Vista, do NOT buy this printer.HP's support web site gave me the run-around....it referred me to a page that did not include information for this device.

HP printers are still great work horses with great color and performance. I am in the industry and have had about every brand or deal with them all the time. HP simply last longer than others. Other brands can perform great like Canon but they simply don't last.Everyone is trying to have the greatest do everthing software, this is where HP and most printer companies fail. However, this software seems especially "buggy". Nothing I couldn't overcome, but geez I do this stuff for a living. I can't imagine some nightmares others might of experienced. Like most companies they short change development have it coded overseas and we the customer are the software testers. Then if you're lucky and you get to call them for support you can't understand them.So great printer, buggy software, ok support.

We bought this printer for business travel with the use of our Dell laptop. The printer is lightweight and compact, and produces excellent quality black and white and color printed documents. The ink cartridges last a long time, are easy to install, and trouble free. The battery is a plus, and a charge lasts a long time as well. I would definitely purchase this particular outfit, as it comes with the lithium battery. Also, the functioning of the printer is very quiet, which is a plus when working with others in a group setting. I would highly recommend this product.

This is my favorite item that I've ever purchased in my entire life! It is perfect at whatever it does - everyday printing, fabulous photo printing with superb quality, copying (color or b+w) and scanning. What really impressed me is the special feature that allows you to scan in 35mm slides! To me, that alone was worth the price! I had tons of old slides from my childhood that were languishing in boxes; now they've been scanned into my computer, manipulated via my graphics program, and printed out using paper and inks that will last over 100 years! WOW doesn't begin to describe it! It will also let you scan in negative strips, but I haven't tried that yet. The HP image editing program that comes with it is good. This printer also lets you print out a proof sheet of your digital pictures still on the card, and select only the ones you want to print. Oh - another great feature is that each ink color has its own cartridge, so you just replace what you need instead of replacing all your inks. I haven't needed any service help yet, but my experience with HP has been that they are the very best in the business. Altogether, this all-in-one has made me VERY happy and productive! A+++++++++++++++++!

I have always been a fan of Cannon photo printers but when it came time to replace my old printer this HP printer came highly recommended. 6 months later at about 50 4X6 photo's a week along with regular printing & this thing still works like it is brand new. It prints great photo's. I have compared the photo's to photo's from my old Cannon printer & there is just no comparison.Having 6 ink cartridges is also a huge plus, I can just replace 1 color when it runs out. The scanner works great, I have scanned in pictures that are 25 years old & have reprinted them & people just cant believe how great the quality is.Overall I really think it is a great printer, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great photo printer & who would also like to have a color photo scanner.As many of the other reviews have stated, the software installation was a little difficult but after about 15 minutes of working on it I got everything working. Well worth it though, I would not just take it back because of this.Also the paper tray does not hold to much paper. Honestly this is not a big deal to me, I just open the drawer & put more paper in, its not a big deal. Reading some of these reviews you would think people had to walk a mile to get to their printer to add more paper. This is why I read up on a product before I buy it so that their are no surprises.Maybe I just got the good one out of the batch, I don't know but I really think its a great printer.

I have been a fairly loyal customer of HP printers but my experience with the 3210 put me over the top. As everyone else, after 3 weeks, I got the dreaded "out of paper error" when the printer was not out of paper. I returned my first machine and thought it was just a lemon and bought another. The second printer did the same thing. I called HP and also got the run around on the phone with advice to pull out and reinsert the plug in the outlet. (Be serious!). Naturally, it did no good. They promised me a new one but in over a month as it was on back order. After making a big fuss, I got one sooner and that one did the same thing - out of paper when there WAS paper in the machine. Called HP, and got another one. That one had a defective mechanism and the entire machine quit. You guessed it, machine number 3 came and that one corrupted my system and it wouldn't boot up as soon as I tried to install the software. And when I installed the software for the first machines, my cd-rom drives disappeared and problems caused me to have to bring in my computer twice for repair. This is a veritable nightmare and there is NO reason for it. And I now have a stack of 3 machines in the process of being returned. After reading the letters I checked the rollers and they are both black AND gray and none of them work correctly. My solution? After swearing NEVER to buy an Epson, I did. I got an Epson RX 620. I prints beautifully, works perfectly, installed with no problems and did not corrupt my system. HP should be fined for their incompetence and unwillingness to fix this and compensate people for their ruined equipment.

I got this printer as a gift from my employer. Functionally, it's a very nice printer, scanner and copier and I was very happy with it unitl I ran out of ink. The HP 98 b/w cartridge it uses has a capacity of only 11 ml (HP 56 is 19 ml). It does not take too many pages of printing to use it up. Office Depot does not make any remanufactured ink cartridge for it and you have to pay full price for the HP original.It may be an inexpensive printer to buy but it is an expensive one to keep.

I travel quite a bit and needed a small printer to work with my Dell 700m laptop. I'm in the technical field service area. I was trying to choose between the Canon ip90 and the HP 460 but the Canon was out of stock so . . .I have found the HP 460 to be a fine printer. Software installed w/o any incident on WinXP Pro, size is small enough to fit easily in the suitcase. It is quiet and fast. When not in use it folds up nicely for protection. I've got no issues with it and am pleased with it's performance. Someday I may try printing a photo but I purchased it for it's mobility.I will be purchasing the battery and the 802.11g card for it in the next few weeks. That will provide some additional flexibility I occasionally need.I see some negative comments on the install but I earn my living with my laptop and keep it fully operational. The install was flawless.

I bought the HP Photosmart 3210 about 6 months ago. The print quality, scanning function, and copy funtion all passed with flying colors. However, those qualities come second to actually having the printer function as expected. I too started having a paper feed problem (as you can see from many, many of the reviews). I am now on my THIRD replacement (remanufactured) printer...and still having the same "out of paper" error when the paper tray is full. It takes me about 30-90 seconds to print one page, if the printer decides to accept the paper you put in the paper tray. I have come to the conclusion that the HP front loading paper technology has some apparent flaws. I just gave up on getting the FOURTH replacement printer offered by HP and bought a comparable Epson. I am sticking with the top-loading paper technology that I know actually works.

Do you want to print photos? CAD images? How about a multi-page PDF? Well, if so, then avoid this printer. Yes, such simple tasks will not be possible. It has so little memory (just a guess) that it fails on nearly everything I send to it. As well, the same trouble with paper misfeeds, etc. you read about below are entirely true.

OK, received my first one of these as a Christmas gift. By Jan. 14, I was back in Best Buy returning it - the scanner/copier bulb had frozen in place and ceased to work. Took the replacement printer home, all was fine for about 3 weeks, at which time the paper feeder decided to pack up (got the old "paper tray empty" message despite the stack of HP brand paper in it!) Chatted to a tech at HP who said there is a "known problem" with the paper feed issue. Glad they are aware of this and apparently still selling them! Anyway, they sent me another one (no doubt a refurb) and within 1 week it started playing up! This time I get random error messages about either the yellow ink cartridge being missing (what?), or the ink cover door is open (huh?) According to tech, plugging the printer straight into the wall will help solve that (what a joke!) So far It's an on/off problem and a bit of jiggling/switching the machine on and off tends to take care of it, but I have to say I am absolutely disgusted with this product. For close to $300, I should not have to jiggle anything to get it to work properly. I have an old Canon printer too which is years old and still works like a dream! I will NEVER buy or recommend HP printers again which is too bad as they used to be quality products. Do yourself a huge favor and take this printer out of your shopping cart RIGHT NOW! I'm bummed that I am well and truly stuck with this - I would exchange it for a different brand in a heartbeat!

I, as with many other "reviewers", thought I did my homework before I bought this printer...what a huge mistake! I paid $300.00 at Office Max and thought it was such a good deal for all of the features the HP 3210 had to offer. After the first one I brought home went totally crazy with error messages and never worked at all, I allowed myself to be talked into replacing it with the same unit...Dumb! It worked okay with just a few "Out of Paper" messages but as soon as the 30 days was up and I couldn't return it to the store, the 3210 went from bad to worse and now three months in, I can't print at all! Tech support is a total nightmare, they're very polite, but I spent three hours on the phone performing all kinds of crazy irrelevant tests on the thing, only to be told it was a hardware problem and that department was experiencing so much call volumn that they would have to call me back...that has yet to happen and I can't go thru another HP tech phone marathon to get nowhere again. We have decided to box this junk up and hold onto it until the extended warranty I purchased kicks in thru the store and I can then exchange it for something THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! Do not purchase this printer!!!
