Review written on Dec 02, 2007

I was pretty happy with this for the first couple of weeks that I owned it. But I was replacing a 7 year old printer, so probably any new model would have been much better than that one. The print speed is pretty good and the quality seems fine to me -...

I have printed fewer than 50 sheets of text with my printer and it says I'm out of ink. Also, the scanner takes forever and the copier takes even longer. What a horrible waste of money. Can't wait to go buy some overpriced ink. AVOID THIS ALL IN...

This product does not work with VISTA. Their software upgrade that is supposed to fix it also does not work. Their HP customer service is slow and has never fixed my problem. This is actually the 1st review I have written on a product, and it was...

Came for free with my new Macbook. I regret paying the $7 in sales tax I had to pay. This printer has brought me nothing but grief. It jams. It refuses to acknowledge that it has ink cartridges installed. It does not slide the ink cartridges to the right...

I would never buy this printer again; it is a piece of junk. It keeps cloging on new, good paper, prints dog slow and generally works poorly. I would not recomend the printer....

I don't usually write reviews, but this is one of the crappiest products I've purchased in a long time. NOTHING works right. When I try to print or copy, it spits out blank pages and partial pages. Before almost every copy or print job, it says "carriage...

One more negative review here. I spent days researching the best hard drive, monitor, software, spyware to buy. Why did I just take the cheap package deal printer? Read the reviews. Others have listed the problems with this goodlooking but ultimately...

HP 4280 all-in-one. Can I give this negative stars? This machine is so fussy. I have had to reinstall the driver about 4 times in the last 2 months. It is an absolute ink hog. Even when I remember to set it for draft quality, it uses heaps of ink. And...

Review written on Sep 26, 2007

I had great hopes for this product, the combination of copying, scanning and printing at a great price from HP seemed too good to be true. Well it was, too good to be true. The paper handling mechanism is amazingly bad it never pulled just one page into...

Review written on Aug 15, 2007

This printer is simply awful-- as one of the previous reviewers stated before, probably more than half the time I printed, I had a paper jam, and when I tried scanning, it almost never worked. Scanning worked for approx. the first couple months, but less...

This is an absolute piece of junk!One paper jam after the next, poor copy quality, and it's slower than molasses!I'm digging through my storage space to reclaim my 5 yr-old HP that worked much better!Don't waste your money! And if you get one for free,...

HP used to be one of the most impressive companies in the USA. They were innovative, made incredibly high quality products, and were highly respected. Now they make cheap trash that doesn't even pretend to work. This piece of garbage is one paper jam...

In use with Mac OS 10.4, this all-in-one is a nightmare in the small office. It jams on about half of its attempts to feed paper, and has no good access to the interior for clearing paper jams. Removing the back panel reveals cheap, brittle plastic...

Bought this Monday and took it back Tuesday. Scanning was slow and the images were fuzzy. Photos were washed out with lines running through them. Tech support walked me through all the setup steps to correct the problems but it didn't improve the quality...

Review written on Jan 17, 2008

This is the worst printer/software combo I have ever used in my life. I am an electrical engineer, so I know computers well, and just getting the drivers for this printer to work on either Windows or OSX is just horrible. In Mac OSX, I had to download...
