This is one of the most disappointing printers I have ever owned. It is slow, the ink smudges instantly, and it doesn’t even print in page order — it is reverse page order, with pages flopping all over the floor if you don’t watch. It is slow, slooooooooooooooow. It’s great if you really enjoy taking ever single print job and rearranging the pages. It also has no space to load paper, and 10 minutes into the first print job, it complains it is running out of ink. Disappointment doesn’t begin to cover it. This is a complete rip off.

It not only doesn’t print, but it ran out of ink from copying fewer than 100 sheets of paper [which also required a paper reload because it holds so few sheets]. Ridiculous. A printer should last more than 30 minutes out of the box.

This printer is painfully slow. It sits there and makes all kinds of noise then it has to stop and think about what it is going to do. Then if you are lucky it may print. If you need to keep up your productivity this is not the printer for you.

I HAVE THE OLDER C7280 VERSION OF THIS MACHINE WHICH IS FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL. I GIVE IT FIVE STARS FOR PRINTING, COPYING, AND FAXING BUT ONLY THREE STARS FOR PHOTOGRAPHS. I PRINT OUT A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND THE ONES FROM THIS MACHINE DON’T LOOK REALISTIC ENOUGH. ALSO IT WON’T PRINT DVD’S AND CD’S DIRECTLY. TO PRINT PHOTOGRAPHS, DVD’S, AND CD’S I USE AN EPSON PRINTER WHICH HAS A MUCH MORE FILMY LOOK DUE TO ITS 44% BETTER OPTIMIZED RESOLUTION. WITH THE EPSON THERE IS NO WORRY ABOUT ALIGNING DVD AND CD LABELS BECAUSE IT PRINTS DIRECTLY ON DVD’S AND CD’S. HOWEVER, THE EPSON IS VASTLY INFERIOR TO THE HEWLITT PACKARD FOR DOCUMENTS AND IT WON’T COPY OR FAX. BECAUSE I PRINT A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS I HAVE A SPECIAL AFTERMARKET INK SYSTEM FOR THE EPSON WHICH IS VERY MUCH CHEAPER THAN BUYING EPSON INK CARTRIDGES. USE HP CARTRIDGES BOUGHT AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS PRINTER BECAUSE HP CARTRIDGES, UNLIKE EPSON CARTRIDGES, HAVE THE PRINT HEADS BUILT INTO THE CARTRIDGE. USE THE PAPER THAT YOU WANT FOR THE JOB AT HAND. IF YOU PRINT QUITE A FEW PHOTOGRAPHS INVEST IN THE MUCH BETTER PHOTO QUALITY OF THE EPSON ARTISAN 50.

I bought this POS based on its high reviews. I got a turd which happens, but the condescending troubleshooting document and the absolute stupidity HP imputes to its customers is shameful. Like every other manufacturer these days, HP takes grate pains to make certain it offends french speakers as well as the anglophones with support documentation that stops after an insulting video and the council to ensure the power is on.

The POS software they make you load tells you its life story and gives us every opportunity to buy more crap from them. All this would have been ok if the turd worked, but it didnt. I’d write more, but it would take time and this aint worth it. Its the same old story with these silicon valley types….make sure you do EVERYTHING really badly before you do ANYTHING well.

At first, I loved this printer. It seemed fantastic – great pictures, fast, had a fax – everything I wanted! But the longer I have it the more I despise the horrible vibration and noise. It literally makes my desk shake back & forth every time it’s carriage returns. I moved it to another table, and it’s no better. I’ve had many printers on this desk over the years, and not a one has caused it to shake – much less the violent jarring of this printer.

The printer also chops off edges of borderless prints, which is pretty annoying on some pictures.

Also, HP’s support is horrendous. I have spent hours on the phone with them and still have no resolution whatsoever to either issue.
