HP DESKJET 3051A ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER J611H-WIRELESS

• HP DeskJet 3051A Inkjet Multifunction Printer/Copier/Scanner

I bought this printer at a Walmart on Black Friday and have had problems with it ever since. Most of the time, I can''t get it to print I get an error message that the printer is not connected. If I get over that hurdle, then I have problems getting the printer to recognize that there is paper available it keeps telling me I am out of paper. I keep taking out and putting back in the stack of paper. Very frustrating process and usually after working through all the problems it takes me at least an hour to get something printed. I think if it would print out now the way it is supposed to I would probably fall off my chair in shock!! I am now surfing Amazon for a new printer and am only going to buy one with good reviews!!!

My old (non-wireless) Canon PCS (printer/copier/scanner) needed new ink cartridges for about $38. I figured why not get a new WIRELESS PCS (with the ink) for a few $''s more. (I bought the "Value Bundle with Bonus Paper" for $49.98 at Walmart.com.)

Shipping was FREE and it arrived in 3 days.

I''m somewhat PC-challenged but open box => ready to use took about 20 minutes ("Start Here" instructions in box => insert CD => click on "Setup" [near bottom of list] => download stuff => follow popup instructions to establish wireless signal from PC to PCS => DONE).

Printed sheets look GREAT...as do copies!!! What more could one want for 50 guacamoles???

If you need to make plain copies of anything black and white, this is a decent printer. It is small, light weight and relatively easy to use. The scan quality is decent. I print from my iphone often. Do not waste your ink, paper or time by printing photos on glossy photo paper with this printer. It is HORRIBLE for that. We have had the printer for a few months now and that is the only problem I really have. It is a pretty loud printer. It has awakened our daughter more than once and she is 3 closed bedroom doors away. Hope this helps.

I got this as a printer for my college dorm, and it''s nice and small, folds up nicely, has decent print quality. Having a scan option readily available is a new thing for me, quite handy.

However, my major issue is that the printer, when left plugged in, will consistently cause my computer to blue screen (cause it to crash). I''ll still use it, it works, it prints color, it scans but ever since I installed the software and started using it, my computer has crashed more times than I can keep count. Also, another guy down the hall mentioned he has the same printer and it also makes his computer crash. I don''t know how widespread the issue is, but it''s a pain.

Well, I wish I had just read the review about this not being for photo printing because it isn''t, not like my old HP 1210v printer. The highest setting it has for photo paper that I could find was 600x300 DPI, although its advertised at colour resolution of 4800x1200. It does NOT have the HP Photo Ret technology that allows printing of photos without increasing the resolution. It does print photos and they look "okay" but not for anything serious. The wireless feature is a plus for those without all the USB ports available and its nice to sit it across the room and not have cabling. Those cables supplied with the printer are very short which means that using the supplied USB cable essentially means that the printer has to sit right next to the PC or laptop area.

The construction is very cheap especially the front paper shelf.

Be careful of the installation package because it has user statistics enabled which you have to disable by clicking on the blue text at setup. Failure to disable the user statistics will send data back to HP. I didn''t like the setup of the wireless portion where it "attempts to discover network and password." How is it doing this? I set up everything manually.

Its an okay printer for text documents and photos for reports or papers but not for family album photos.
