So it's a little noisy, it's still a well done HP product. From the upacking instructions,to getting operational was a walk in the park compared to other plug & play beasts I have dealt with. Even the Vista driver download,and install was pa
Very good machine overallLimited to one function operation at at time
We bought this equipment for our City Hall offices with high expectations. We have not been let down! Packing and shipping were important items, as we live in rural Alaska. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Functionality exceeds our expectations in
We bought this machine to replace a HP d135 all in one. So far we love it! Yes it is a little noisy, but to save $500-$1,000 I can live with a little rattle. I thought the software was pretty easy to install (maybe they fixed it from the original). I woul
I've used the HP 2840 on a home network for over 8 months. The noise issue is silly -- it prints, faxes, copies and scans perfectly, every time. The software is admittedly goofy, such as opening a browser each time I print across the network. But the
The reviews posted at Amazon's site gave me reason to pause when I was considering purchasing this printer. Everything I read complained that it was far too loud, difficult to install and that there were so many other competing products out there off
I just intalled an HP 2840. As would be expected from HP, it is an impressive piece of hardware that has very good print quality. However, I have not tried printing photos and suspect that even though it will accept memory cards with photos for printing,
I'm a Linux user and wanted a color laser all-in-one. The HP 2840 comes with Windows drivers only, not surprisingly, but is fully supported in Linux. It worked out of the box with cups, using hplip or foomatic drivers. I accessed the CD's only t
For all the things this machine can do, you can't beat the price. The print quality is excellent and the speed is good and the noise is not an issue unless maybe if you sit next to it and people are printing all day long. The network set-up is a brea
After reading reviews of this laser printer in the computer press, I was intrigued by the idea that I could buy not only a printer that reportedly did a very good job with pictures and graphics, but would also scan, fax, and make copies. The fact this uni
I couldn't be happier with my HP Color LaserJet 2840. I've had it for several weeks now and am still thrilled with its performance.As the president of an IT firm, I've worked with most every brand of printer, but still cannot find any reaso
Pros: Quality of output, speed, features. Cons: Only wish it had built-in wireless!
Pros: Print quality, speed, software, everything Cons: Took a little while to unpack as well packaged
For the Price and the ease of use and the speed at which New Egg processed the order, I can't imagine that their is a better Color Laser MFP on the Market and a better online retailer to buy from.
Not one single regret about buying this. One thing, if you're running a personal firewall, disable it before installing the software.
PEOPLE (doctors?) WHO ARE RANTING HERE ABOUT POOR O/S SUPPORT OR OUT OF MEMORY ERRORS NEED TO GET THE LATEST SOFTWARE FROM HP.COM AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHECK THE SIMPLE LITTLE BOX THAT SAYS "SPOOL IN COMPUTER"!!! If a 23MB file causes a printer
You will not be disappointed.
I bought this simply for 1 user - me, after evaluating how much inkjets cartridges costs. The toners cost a bit, but last much longer than inkjets (4000-5000 pages). Better to pay more up front, than get a free printerand keep buying overpriced ink that l
The Automatic Document Feeder did not work on the machine when I got it. I called HP Technical Support. They sent me a new ADF to install. New one didn't work. A Technician came to fix the problem which was in the circuit board. Everyone I talked to
I bought the 2840 on Sept. 26 2007 and so far I've been very happy with it. The installation was a breeze. Just follow all the instructions in the manual and you shouldn't have any problems.The software installation is another story. I installed
I have no problem with the software because I don't use it. Linux detected the printer automatically when both directly hooked up and even over the network, and I have no problem configuring the print jobs to look exactly how I want when I go to prin
I was really worried when I saw the bad reviews here before I made the purchase. However, after I purchased and installed one myself, it was not bad at all. I agree that the installation process take a long hour to complete, but I don't find it that
We purchased this unit 2 months ago for our small business. The copier, fax, and printing functions work great. It prints fast and with good quality. It is a bit on the noisy side, but not much more than the old Sony inkjet all-in-one that we replaced wit
After running this device for 3 weeks, I am still impressed with the performance and thrilled to own it. It is fast, reliable, easy to use and does exactly what it says it will do. The color printing of photos exceeded all expectations (fantastic for lase
I am impressed with the print quality and the features. I have only two complaints: (1) The software installation is horrendous. Instead of using the normal windows installer, HP had to write their own cludgy dohickey. It almost never can find the printer
Overall a great printer, unfortunately poor support on Hewlet Packard's part for newer operating systems.
I put about 12 hours research into sub-$1000 laser AIOs--Xerox, Oki, Canon, etc. Considering ratings, reviews, hands-on print trials, and speaking with 3 printer reseller/tech centers, the HP 2840 came out the winner. Do not use the software from disk...m
We have about 20 people in our office and we use this LaserJet 2840 in our LAN for everything - copying, scanning, printing, and faxing. Everything works great! As someone mentioned, the TWAIN does not work so you cannot call on a program to scan directly
Overall I think this is a good printer. I think it prints very well in black and white and color. The color is not nearly as good as my OKI color laser printer but none the less it works fine for what I am doing.All functions of printer do work after down
This printer fail to live up the expectation of a HP printer. Within two months after I purchase it, it stop working. Right now it is with the service department and has being for about a month now. I am very disappointed. Eventhough HP printer are all i
I bought the CLJ 2840 a few weeks ago to replace my HP 3330 (B&W multifunction) and Minolta Magicolor 2300DL (color laser) and because this printer is both Mac and PC compatible. While the output quality of the 2840 is very good, as one would expect f
Pros: Is an all in 1 Printer and works well while it works. Cons: Scanner Software stops after a while requiring reinstall, fax doesn't work overseas, expensive toner. The Bottom Line: If you don't need a scanner, this is a robust printer and fa
Pros: Print quality, Scan feed & simple networking setup Cons: Extremely expensive ink and imaging drum. Bloated software package... Multiple All-In-One Problem The Bottom Line: Great print quality, but expensive ink & imaging drum. Good for singl
It is a very very big printer...make lots of room for it on your desk....
I wished I had read more of the user reviews prior to purchasing this product. It prints a nice page, scans images, and can send a fax, but so could my HP Laserjet3200 before it was time to upgrade. This printer is certainly much faster than my older HP.T
If all you want is a printer, this unit is OK, but don't buy an HP2840 if you expect network friendly scanning functionality. The scan function is heavily dependent on software running on a PC. After owning this unit for a while, I finally gave it aw
If you are looking for printer that is going to require a lot of maintaniance then buy this. So far I have owned this printer for 4 months and have spent approximately 20 hours on tech supporting this thing. When it works it is great but when it goes down
I bought this machine last year, it will hang very frequently, I leave it on all the time; but when I am ready to scan or copy, the machine will just hang, I had to turn it off and on for it to work. The machine likes to calibate itself every 6 hours, and
I gave it to a local charity and I kind of feel bad about that.... terrible printer...This machine will only make a copy of the Fax to your computer if it is hooked up to your computer via USB. AND IT WILL NOT PRINT FAX AND MAKE A FAX COPY TO YOUR COMPUTE
First off, if you are buying this printer to use with a Vista computer, STOP. It quite simply is not vista compatible as of yet. They say it is, and they release drivers on their website. Go read their forums... they are on their 3rd or 4th revision of th
I purchased this printer whiling running Windows XP and was very happy with its network functionality. Everything worked well and integrated with the OS. Upgraded many of my PC to vista and it all went away. Took months for HP to geta driver to get the pr
Buying this printer is what one gets when one doesn't do the research. It has a great marketing line, but the devil is in the details.Expect high quality printing from this rather large and foreboding device. Used as a stand alone printer/copier/fax,
Printer works OK so far. It is slow and loud but output is excellent. Installation over network for WinXP and 2000 workstations is straightforward. But be aware that this printer will NOT work with Win2000 Server. The printer can not even be found over th
I've owned HP printers for 15 years and this will probably be the last HP printer that I buy. The printer is slow, in fact it's slower than my old HP 5M. I only seem to get about 3 PPM on some jobs I frequently send to it (printing image based P
Pros: Easy set up. Networked via ethernet to wireless router with no problem. Cons: Color printing is horrible. Saturation askew; contrast off; midtones/highlight/shadows are way whacked! The Bottom Line: Avoid It Unless You're Color Blind!!!
Pros: I can't think of any. Cons: Heart attack material!
I can't wait to go to CES this weekend to talk to HP about how horrible this model is. It's unusual for me to not like an HP item but this one really disapoints me.
This product sucks. We use this product for our color copier in our office and it is terribly slow, loud, and expensive to maintain. Furthermore we have had this machine slightly over a year and now we are incurring all types of issues with it. We called
I've had this printer for 1 yr. HP has been promising Vista drivers each month and at the end of Aug 07- still no drivers. Without the HP Director software and drivers, I cannot SCAN or FAX with this printer. The Colors are terrible using the single
After getting what we thought was a good Christmas deal on this printer, we have been totally disappointed to discover that, contrary to stated compatibility on the box and other documentation, it is not compatible with Mac OS X Leopard. After a call to s
