HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-one Printer (Q8418A#ABA)

HP DeskJet F4480 Inkjet All-in-One Printer (CB745A#B1H)This printer arived quickly and is exactly what I wanted except that the display is so small it is difficult to use in making copies. My wife has an HP printer that has a top display that is much easier to use. I have had no problem printing from my computer.

Over the years, I have discovered that in the world of printers, the cost of replacement cartridges is ever so important! This one has reasonably priced ones, and costco can refill them too.(check costco's list of the ones they do) I am electing to do that job myself with the kits available out there. Print quality is excellant, and I like their scanner. This is not as expensive as many types out there, with perhaps too-many features. I wanted something basic, with reasonable good quality and I got it. I have owned it for over a month, and so far, so good!

I bought this printer in January, 2010, on Amazon. I never install and use it until March. And from day 1, it was a total disappointment.
Number (1), it is a very noisy printer, unlike the my Dell printer I had before. This printer sound like it is eating up the papers.
Number (2), The paper Jam constantly.
Number (3), The cartidge Jam constantly.
Number (4), It will photocopy ocassionally, Then it freezes.
Number (5), The printer stop detecting the ink, so the printer can not print any more.

I would never advice any one to ever buy this Printer no matter how cheap it is.

The printer meets all of its advertising hype. It works well in the wireless mode, and has proven to be fairly economical in ink use.

As with a previous review, I had an HP printer for years that I was very happy with, so I went ahead and bought this one. I have not been pleased with the print quality, particularly on draft-mode photos, which start showing color bands after about 20 pages of color printing.

My previous printer allowed me to run reports for weeks without replacing print cartridges. The new ones get used up in a day sometimes. The cartridge packaging claims ~200 pages of black printing and ~165 for color. I just got 120 pages (40 of them with color) before running out. Is that really all I get for $35? Pathetic.
