HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One (CX056A#B1H)

I bought this after my old HP printer crapped out. I had some trouble in the beginning with setting up the wi-fi, but quickly figured out it was my wi-fi not my printer. The printer cartridges are super cheap in comparison to other printers. It does come with cartridges but be warned that they aren''t full sized ones, they are just sample size. I am in graduate school and it prints large page amounts with out jamming and is pretty quick. I would recommend. It''s a middle of the road printer, nothing fancy, but does what I need.

When you install this printer you need to install HP printing software. What HP doesn''t tell you is that they are also going to load a whole bunch of other "junk" software. One of the pieces of software that loads is for fingerprint security. You just bought a printer... why on earth would you need to install fingerprint security software?

As it turns out, this wonderful fingerprint security software that goes by the name of SimplePass will then proceed to corrupt your Windows 7 registry and user profile. These issues are seen all over the web. Search google for "Windows 7 temporary profile Simple Pass" and be warned.

HP has always loaded tons of worthless software with their printers. That was annoying. Now they are loading software that is actually defunct and breaking your computer.

I have been using it for a short time but I am satisfies with it. Easy to install, easy function keys. Not too loud. It will certainly do the job I need it for.The price is quite reasonable for the quality of the printing.

I was quite thrilled to get this on a Black Friday deal for $40... boy, I would rather have just flushed those two twenties down the toilet. Would have been a better use for them.

I was able to print exactly 3 sheets of paper.

After that, everything I put into this printer gets chewed up and spit out. Usually not even that; it just firmly gums the whole thing up. I called customer service, ran through their one-hour troubleshooting routine, they agreed it was still in warranty, and they sent me a refurbished one.

Three pieces of paper, and the same thing happens. I''m not a luddite; I know how printers work; you put a piece of paper in, they print. It shouldn''t be magic to find the right paper, the right angle, holding your mouth in JUST the right way. This though? Worthless. Sounds really great, lots of cool functions. Instead, I have a $40 scanner sitting on my desk.

I''m sending this piece of crap back to the company with the jammed paper still in it. They can figure it out.

And I will NEVER, ever buy a Hewlett Packard product ever again. I''ve already been warning people against their computers for years. Since I''m the local tech support, that affects a lot of buying decisions. I''ll be adding their printers to it.

After our three-year old high-end HP printer died, I opted for a less expensive model and picked this one based a consumer guide rating. No built-in fax, DVD printer or sheet feeder, just a basic printer/copier/scanner. Since it is shared by 3 devices in the house, we set it up as a network printer in a central location. I was pleased at the ease of installation; plugged it in, ran the setup program and it worked perfectly first time with no trouble shooting or conflicts. The HP ePrint app works well from our tablet device. Print quality is as good as the old HP, and it even uses the same HP-564 print cartridges that were left over from the dead printer. Hopefully this model will last longer, but if it doesn''t, my initial investment is relatively small.
