It just DIED. I was using it and was happy with it. Tried contacting HP and was given the brush off. One day I was making a copy, it just stopped. I could smell electrical/plastic smell. What a joke these people turned out to be. Good Luck if you buy this one.
While shopping for it, I found a cellphone someone had lost. The display screen stopped working and the printer ink expired earlier than expected. I bought it at a brand-name office supply store. The price was certainly right when I bought it. But I will steer clear of HP products. I guess they knew better than to steal a piece of junk.This printer worked fine for me for a while, then one day (after about 6 months of non-use) it didn't.
They left my HP C4280 printer in the back seat.
I tracked the owner down and drove to his place of work to return it.
Holy crap -- I was certainly not alone in my misery.Fortunately, all-in-ones are not horrifically expensive nowadays.
I should have known there would be some bad mojo associated with this printer, though.
Then I hopped on Amazon.com to read the customer reviews of this product.
I even refused a small reward.
But when I got back to my car, someone had broken into it and stolen my car stereo.
I can replace this one without breaking the bank.
I advise you to do the same.
I am angry that I allowed Apple to sell me this piece of s***. Printer doesn't print black, even though ink supply is new. This is the worst piece of junk, ever. HP has lost its 'quality' reputation with me. I'll buy a canon or epson next time.
After 3 hours on the phone with tech support, they sent me a new cartridge, which took three weeks to arrive. to replace the outdated cartridge. At first, the color cartridge that came with the printer wouldn't print all colors, so whenever I printed anything with even a smidge of color (even one highlighted word), the entire print job would come out in bright red. The problems I've had are endless. We've had HP printers for years, and been very pleased. BE WARNED and don't buy an HP. The final straw came for me when I had to purchase another new cartridge from Staples (and they are expensive). Talk about over-engineering and needlessly complex.
Mind you, I've printed hundreds of cards on this printer over the year - the same stock, and now it jams all of the time. Then I purchased a new "large" cartridge from Staples - didn't know there is an EXPIRATION DATE. I got this printer from Apple as a rebate when I purchased my MacBook. Everything prints and scans fine, and then the printer proceeds to jam with card stock. Copying on the printer is ridiculously slow, and every time you change the cartridges, you have to align the cartridge - which requires scanning, which my printer was not able to do consistently (regardless of what computer, if any, it was hooked up to). Once the date has passed, the printer won't recognize the cartridge and won't scan the alignment, so every time you turn it off it and then on again, it prints an alignment page and then gives you errors because it can't scan the page because the cartridge is too "old". Customer service was laughable and useless.I'm printing instead off of my old HP 970c and am planning to buy a new printer - Epson or something better. While they used to be good and reliable, now they are not.
My family and I got this as an all-over printer scanner. We can never seem to get it to stay connected with the computer for very long. It's great but the connection causes me to hate it with a vengence. It works so long as it stays connected with the PC. Try something different. WHICH IT DOESN'T.We've had NOTHING BUT TROUBLE with this printer. I draw so the scanner was important and so was the printing, as we like to create T-shirt Iron-Ons. Sure it's a decent printer, it's got a great set-up what with printing, scanning, copying and whatnot.
It's such a pain. We get a LOT of "USB not connected". Overall, don't waste your time and money on this. (Maybe not HP).We're in the market for a new one.
