Buy HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a/N811d Now
I got a brand new HP Officejet Pro 8100 tonight. A $99 printer that does duplex (two-sided) printing in color-what''s not to love?Well, a printer is only useful if it prints. And this one won''t even do that. After half an hour setting up software, connecting to my home wifi, etc, I get an error when I try to print my first test page: "Print head appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed." I''ve giggled it. I have, as HP''s online support suggests, tried removing the print head and putting it back in again. I have tried removing the ink cartridges and putting them back in again. No dice.
So, yeah. Totally worthless. This will be going back in the morning, and getting my money back. If a brand new one doesn''t work, why would I want a replacement?

Start-up inks were not detected. Bought $130 worth of new inks locally and they did not work.called support and they said it was defective. Seems like a great printer, HP really needs to ditch these startup inks, charge a couple bucks more and put the real carts in. In this case the whole printer needed to be returned. went to local office store and that 8100 fired right up.

It works good on boxes and bubble mailers that don''t have any writing or printing on them. If you need to completely hide what is beneath the label, I recommend the Avery 5126 Labels with TrueBlock. I believe the smearing problem one person complained about is a Pixma printer problem rather than a label problem. My father used to have a Pixma printer too and it wouldn''t print on smaller labels either without smearing the print.Read Best Reviews of 200 Half Sheet Shipping Labels for Laser/InkJet 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Here

So I bought these because the other economy labels I had purchased from another seller curled so badly that I had to manually feed them into my printer. This product sold me on the guarantee that it will NOT curl. Uh yes it does. I have uploaded photographic proof that this product does in fact curl. I am disappointed. It causes constant jams in my printer.I''d like to add that I looked at my invoice and it shows that the seller was FANTASYBUY, while the original item listed is sold as House Labels. Why Amazon picked that seller to ship from I have no idea, but apparently you have to specifically select House Labels as your retailer when checking out to supposedly get the "guaranteed" labels. I just clicked add my item to cart and I assumed I was getting my product from the person this product was listed from in the original title. This is a feature that sorely needs to get fixed.

I was rather excited to try these labels out for the price. Sadly, I bought 200 sheets. I have a Canon Pixma MP460 that I use to print off my shipping labels on Amazon and through PayPal. The labels come out smeared or spotty. I would not recommend this product. In the past, I used the 3M 3200-V shipping labels and those worked MUCH better.

I previously had the HP 7310 all in one, which I previously reviewed on here, but a lightning storm fried the fax board in it. The rest of the unit still worked, but I didn''t want to get a separate fax machine. I called HP''s customers service, and all they wanted to do was sell me a new expensive unit, at what they told me was a discount price. It was actually much cheaper elsewhere online.
This would be a five star unit if not for some major flaws. I chose this unit mainly because it has an answering machine and cordless phone built in. I also liked the glossy black look of the unit.
The unit has a very nice 4.3 lcd touchscreen which works quite well. Its responsive, has good color and easy to use. It tilts up and down, but this is largely unnecessary. The menus however, are a bit tricky to use, and it takes some playing with it to find out where all your settings and adjustments are located. Also when using the screen to scroll answering machine messages, I found it somewhat difficult to scroll back to listen to a previous message. It keeps taking you back to the beginning of the message you are listening too. It''s actually easier to scroll forward and go back around, if you don''t have many message saved.
The buttons on the front are raised and are the perfect size. They have good tactile feel and they allow you to easily change your functions, fax, copy, scan or photo capture.
There are some slots on the front of the unit for things like a USB flash drive which you can print your pictures directly from. It shows them on the lCD screen, and you scroll through them. It also is Bluetooth and WIFI capable, though mine is hooked with a wire, so I haven''t tried these.
As far as the design of the unit, its mostly good. Its smaller and more compact then many units. It only features a 15pg Adf, versus the 30-50pg ones you see on some machines, but I rarely need to fax or copy more then 5pgs at a time anyway. What matters more is that this unit actually scans all the pages one at time, where my HP, frequently would grab too many pages and you ended up having to send them through one at time.
Faxing or printing in black in white was relatively quick, though trying to fax in color took about a minute per page. You do not want this unit for printing pictures. The people came out looking so red, it looked like they had been severely burned. Granted it was on regular paper, but I''ve printed decent pictured on regular paper before. You also will probably don''t want this unit if you are going to do a lot of scanning photos. It has a 36bit scanner versus the 48bit seen on some other units.
The software in general I felt was good, but the OCR software sucked. It scanned all the words right, unlike my previous hp''s software, but it completely ignored all spacing and format. Not ideal, if you want to scan and edit a form.
The power cord is not detachable from the unit, not a big deal to me, but it was datachable on my old HP. What I really didn''t like was that the USB cord instead of attaching at the back, is threaded up inside the machine. Because of the bulb near the end of the wire, it requires bending and folding the wire some to get it attached and down in the triangle space provided. This is not good for the wire.
The paper tray which pulls all the way out, is rather flimsy, is made of cheap plastic and only holds about 100pgs. However, it''s not as flimsy as some units such as Epson''s Artisan 800, and a number of other units. More importantly though, I''ve had no paper jams and the pages don''t drop on the floor after printing.
This unit like a number of Brother units, also supposedly uses it own ink to periodically clean itself. You cant shut this off, so even if not using the printer, you will find your ink is being lowered. You only have to replace one cartridge at a time though.
The real flaw with the unit is actually its biggest marketing feature, the fact that it has a built in 30 min answering machine and an attached cordless phone. I use my phone and fax on the same line and was tired of having my answering machine conflict with the fax. By having them in the same unit I hoped to avoid this conflict and guess what? It did. The machine knew when to pick up for messages or fax. No more conflict. Coodles to Brother for being the only manufacturer to offer a built in answering machine and cordless phone in some of their all in one units. Unfortunately, Brother apparently chose to use cheap mics or speakers for its built in phone system. So much to my disappointment, the answering machine messages come out garbled. Not all the time, but about half the time. Why bother to include an answering machine if you are going to do such an unacceptable job? I use my answering machine a lot and I don''t want to have to guess what the message is saying. I tried just turning on my old answering machine, and turning off Brothers, but its fax then continues to try and pick up during calls. So I have to unplug the phone cord from the Brother, which means you cant use the cordless phone.
The cordless phone looks and feels nice, has raised buttons (though not backlit) and a decent orange backlit lcd screen and caller ID. Unfortunately the cordless phone also has speaker and or mic problems. Sometimes I can hear my echo while talking, and sometimes other people complained of static noise on the other end.
I sent my first one back, and ordered another one from a different place thinking maybe I got a lemon, but its has the same problems. Brother''s customer service line was of no help at all. So now I''m torn, the unit looks nice, prints text fast and well, and faxes text quickly. Those are the main things I use it for, so I''ve thought about keeping it despite its major flaws. However I don''t like the idea of keeping a brand new unit that comes with one of its major features being defective. Every unit on the market seems to have some types of flaws or problems, so I''m not sure where to settle.
UPDATE 9/5/2009I decided to keep the unit, and for the most part I am content with it. I would probably raise the the star rating to 3 or 4, despite the problems I mentioned. I managed to change the settings so that the fax doesn''t always try to pick up and only does so now when I actually get a fax. I rarely use the cordless phone due to its speaker problems, and I keep the answering machine off.
The USB port displays the pics from my flash drive on the LCD screen, but takes awhile to load them, and they are difficult to scroll through to find the ones you want.
I still haven''t tried the wireless and probably won''t since it''s hooked to my computer. The paper tray needs to be a little bit bigger, as I find I have to refill it a little too often. Also be warned, this machine really burns through ink with it''s automated cleaning process. I''ve had to replace the black ink a few times already and the color inks are all half empty despite the fact I almost never print anything in color. I do think the text print quality was slightly better on my old HP, but it''s not a major difference. The scanner door feels like it isn''t properly attached, like it''s going to come off, but I beleive this is so you can lay bulky items on the scanner bed and still lay the door somewhat flat.
Overall I like the design of the unit and it has performed well with black & white printing and faxing, which are my primary uses for it.
Buy Brother MFC-990CW Color Inkjet All-in-One Now
Absolutely frustrating. Its been anything but a hassle-free setup from the moment it was removed from the box:1) It has flimsy parts. The paper tray has lots of internal parts you move around, the hinges of which will bend or snap easily without much effort. The scanner lid is bizarrely loose, acting like it would lift completely off, but it doesn''t, resulting in an opening that isn''t smooth but rather clunky. There is no manual feed area, so anything like envelopes or labels you will need to load directly into the main paper area real pain.
2) Printing quality is just OK. Perhaps good enough for general document printing, but certainly not for images. You have to really crank up the settings to get anything but washed out colors even then, not a deep as desired. Very disappointing. Speed is quick enough, loud however.
3) Scanning is decent enough for documents (just not great for pictures you''re trying to convert to high quality scans) but has some behavior you have to get used to. If scanning from the bed and not the sheet feeder, you can''t select the area to scan, instead it scans the whole region and you have to crop later. When scanning from the sheet feeder with items thinner than 8.5 inch, the end scan always has the document correct on one side, but lots of blank space on the other, as though it only cropped part of it.
4) There is external media (USB Keychain, SD, CF, etc.) slots in the front, but the USB slot is recessed making it impossible to use any keychain drive that has a bulky body. If you plug in an external media (USB Keychain, SD, CF, etc.), the printer dedicates itself to scanning it for pictures. If you have a large capacity media with lots of files that are not media, you can have quite a wait.
5) If you use the phone, you can''t scan or copy. It tells you line in use, and you need to either unplug it from the phone line, or wait until you''re off the call.
6) In Windows Vista with the printer attached to the network wirelessly, I''ve had the OS tell me the printer is offline, while the local printer software tells me it''s online, requiring a reboot or two of Vista to get printing capabilities back.
On the plus side, the touch-display is nice and easy to use, the devices looks nice, has a small enough footprint, and does do a decent enough AIO job that it isn''t the worst purchase I''ve ever made, but my next one won''t be a Brother. As a parting comment, their tech support is friendly, which is good as you will be calling them.

I don''t really print all that much, so I haven''t really "put it through its paces", but can say it was very easy to set up. I still haven''t really got the fax part set up. The instructions indicate there could be confilcts between the fax function and voice mail, which turned out to be true in my case, and I still haven''t wanted to get back to it. Every all in one I''ve ever had (HP, Canon Pixma)was a hassle to get phones, faxes and voice mail all on the same page. My only disappointment was with the cordless telephone that comes with the machine. I had hoped that having it''s own phone might eliminate that problem, but it didn''t. I then ordered two more handsets, thinking the mix of the Brother machine and older Panasonic phones might be the problem. I never got around to fine-tuning the fax vs. voice mail with the new handsets because they are pretty cheesy and I just didn''t like them. For example, the display is tiny, does not let you know when you''ve missed a call, and most annoying, you have to do phonebook entries separately on each handset. That got real old real fast, so I returned the Brother handsets and went back to my old phones. The other features of the machine, such as the touchscreen menu screen, ease of wireless network set up, Bluetooth, and ease of use, accessibility of the print cartridges et. outweigh that one issue, and I would buy it again.Want Brother MFC-990CW Color Inkjet All-in-One Discount?
If time is not a factor, then this product is great. But if you mind waiting 5 mins for something to print or copy, then DO NOT purchase! It''s THAT slow. Had to return it immediately.

The paper itself is high quality, but the printed design is poor: the squiggly lines in the background are too dark! It distracts from any writing or designs that you print on the paper, and gives it an overall messy appearance.Read Best Reviews of Geographics Parchment Paper Certificates (22901) Here
Another review mentioned this but I didn''t understand until the product arrived what they were referring to there are dark squiggly lines across the entire page of this certificate! Maybe it wouldn''t be so bad if you were just using black text but if you want a company logo or a photo on the certificate they will have dark lines running through them. It''s totally unusable for anything other than dark text on paper. We got a great price on the certificates but now I''ve got to see if amazon will take them back as they are totally useless to us. I wish you could see the lines better in the photo they have online. Crazy. I can''t believe that anyone would think that this is good product design.Want Geographics Parchment Paper Certificates (22901) Discount?
The paper has a slight off white color on both the front and back which is nice (many inexpensive certificates only have tinting on one side). While the paper stock is pretty light (thin), when printed on it gives a very rich look.I''ve run into a lot of other similar products that are shrink wrapped and end up warping the pages which ends up making only a small percentage usable. Not the case with this product. They are nicely wrapped and every sheet is good enough to print and present to the recipient. I would definitely buy these again.
Had the paper stock been a little thicker I would have given it 5 stars.

-This ink is a great quality and produces high quality images for any of your purposes. However, the downfall to these high quality images is higher ink consumption.-It all depends on what you use the ink for if it is worth you buying this or a generic brand product. Because the Epson brand is made specifically for Epson printers their product is more versatile for many printing surfaces in comparison with other types of generic inks. The DuraBright ink is also helpful at keeping the brightness of a photo longer, meaning that it will reduce the effect of light interferance on the photo (ie fading, discoloring, etc), all things that don''t take 80 years to see.
-I have tried many different brands of ink including general and name brand inks and it is obvious that the general inks don''t suit my purposes because of the different surfaces that I need to print on such as overheads, printer papers, glossy papers, labels, etc. But if this is not an issue for you why spend the extra money?

The Avery 5371 snap out cards are much better than these:1. With these cards you only get 8 cards per sheet instead of 10 cards. That''s 20% less for a higher price.
2. Make sure you realize that these cards have rounded corners rather than square. I don''t think they look as professional but the real issue is that they do not snap out as cleanly as the square corners.
3. Because these only have 8 cards per sheet you''ll have to download a special template. If you happen to be a Mac user this will be a serious problem because the standard template in Pages, which works great with Avery 5371, will not work with these sheets. Avery does not provide any Mac iWorks templates for any of their business cards and downloading and converting a Word template is next to impossible.
Stick with the Avery 5371 snap outs.

I purchased two of these machines for two of our remote offices.As a fax machine, there have been zero complaints, as a printer, they frequently have software issues. In particular, when we try to share these machines on our network, the print drivers don''t run well on the client machines. We run Win XP Pro in our offices. This device feels like a solid fax machine, with print services thrown on as an after-thought.
Previous to this, we had purchased the HP 4100 print / fax / copier and we had awful luck with the fax function. The HP feels like a solid printer that had a fax modem thrown on it.
I wish someone would build one of these devices that can handle all services well.

Bad points:

Paper jams are inconvenient to fix no matter how simple the jam, you have to nearly take the machine apart
LED screen is often hard to see in poor light conditions
No count of prints in progress this is surprisingly annoying

No two-sided printing
No auto-sense for manual paper feed, so half the time I forget and it copies from the main tray

I had a slightly older model than this one and was happy enough but had a it few issues that made me unhappy. I figured I''d take a chance on the HP PS7520 and so far, I am thrilled. It was easy for me to set up and easy to operate. I especially love the quality of the photos that it prints. Has some good options to use. I would recommend this to anyone.Want Hewlett Packard PS7520 Wireless Color Photo Printer Discount?
My last 2 printers were HP.The one I am replacing had a print head go bad (After 3.5 years) after I put brand new full ink into my HP C6380. Ink is expensive for these HP printers. So I bought the newest model 7520 HP printer with the exact same ink that I had already opened. Figured, at least I would not waste $89 in ink.
Why did I put new ink into a bad printer you may ask? Well I went to the HP web site and followed the trouble shooting for the error code I was getting. You have to love the HP trouble shooting, they say open new ink and put it in the printer as part of the efforts when the real issue was that the "print head" is broken. The good news is you can order a print head for about $26 on Amazon, of course school papers can''t wait for it to be shipped so I got this unit at staples.
Just went for the only model available with the exact same ink since I had $89+ in ink ready to go. Plus this printer has the exact same print head as my old C6380. The first thing I did was put the new print head in my old printer and it solved the problem, this proves the print head was bad. So now I can order one and have a new back up printer as my old back up printer long ago ran out of ink and I don''t think that type of ink is available any more.
Anyway, here is why I took one star. This new printer forces me to use the starter print cartridges that came with it. You ask me this is major fail. I mean this is the sole reason I got this printer so I can use the $89 in ink I already had open, before it dries up. If I wanted to waste $89 in ink I would have choosen another product. Ink used to be ink, I never heard of starter cartridges required to even use a new printer. This is fine if you are going to a new ink, but as a replacement forget it. Anyway, I am just trying to store the ink so it will not dry up before I need it.
Ok, so what is new from my old HP C6380. Well this unit has FAX which I have not set up and used. it has a new sheet feeder. Good for large documents. It prints just as well as the old unit, using same ink and print head so quality is about equal.
As for networking, I always had tons of problems with my old HP C6380. First they did not have any drives available with Windows 7 was in Beta, and so I was without a printer on my primary PC for months. And when the drivers came out the old HP C6380 always had one network issue after another. This product continues a few of them for example starting you out with a dynamic IP address instead of static one. At least this product had a utility to update the IP address, so that is an improvement. Knowing the past issues however, I went straight to a static IP. Other advantages in this area is print by email, so if the printer has networking issues family can still print till I get home to solve network issues. It also has a new feature called Wireless Connect. So I have set up a back up for when the network is not playing nice.
So far I have printed from every PC as well as from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with positive results. The unit wakes up faster than my old unit, and prints faster too. I like how the paper is enclosed, might keep the keeps from grabbing so much scrap paper from the new paper.
The interface is not like a touch screen, gone is all the buttons. The controls are just as easy to control. But a new feature is all the applications. You can subscribe to get cartoon, recipes, coloring pages, kids activities etc... Have not tried them all, but the kids only button will print out a new activity each day allowing you to use up more ink then you ever did before. From their view it is a great idea, but if like me you watch the ink most apps will be useless. Personally I wish they did not waste so much screen space for these applications. The screen is larger than my iPod, and looks about the size of my S3. It is interesting, makes me wonder what can be done in the future. But for now this means ample space for controls etc...
On the side of the large screen are 3 permanent controls for home, back and help. Not all the controls in the sub menus (of the settings) look as nice as the top menu''s, just gray bars. But it is easy to use and do things like change the printers IP address. A lot of the most used menu stuff does look good with large icons for the devices, or places you want a file to go. Also, viewing and printing from the printer is better than ever with the large screen. Not only can you preview but it is easy to edit simple things like crop, contrast, etc..
As for the scanning, it was a web scan interface, it has a button to scan on the printer and an icon. I cannot get the desktop scan icon to work, says device not found. Will need to work on that. I found the scan feature of the printer is the best. Scan to file, scan to USB, scan to camera memory etc... But I liked the scan to email feature the best. As half the time, I am scanning to sent to someone anyway, so this way all I have to do if forward it. I found this to be my favorite improvement.
Anyway, this is a deep printer with more controls than ever, in time I may try some other. But for now I got the important stuff up and running. I do like how I now have multiple ways to do stuff. PC based, printer based, web based, or on my Android. I can pick and choose how I wish to work. After having 3 HP printers, things have come a long way since my old HP 930 that was nothing but a dedicated printer. The HP C6380 moved things forward by being my first all in one unit, a unit that almost never jammed paper unlike my old 930. Since the innards look very similar, I expect this to almost never jam as well, although it does add a new duplex feature that hangs off the back side of the 7520.
The 7520 brings a ton of new features forward, it will take weeks for me to test a lot of these features as I did limited testing to save ink, but this new 7520 makes it easier then ever to print and provides many, many more ways to print. But the all the new feature in this unit should meet my college student wife, and multiple children''s various printer needs well into the future.
When I received this product, it was dead on arrival. The product continually displayed "Paper Jam" errors, during its setup. This, even when no paper or paper fragments were in the printer or duplexer.
I suspect the problem is caused by the cheap plastic duplexer that mates poorly with the rear of the printer. Technical support was also unable to resolve or diganose the problem.
Between trying to get this printer working, and then trying to return it, I wasted about 5 hours of my day. The customer service for HP direct (where I purchased it) is horrendous. If you buy this thing, buy from someone else.
If you do make the mistake of buying from them, use the live chat buried on their web site. After 3 hours, and multiple phone transfers, I hung up the phone without ever reaching someone who could help me return the defective printer.
At that point, I was prepared to eat the cost of the printer, rather than suffer further frustration. Instead, I made a last ditch effort with live chat, which took another 40 minutes, but was ultimately successful.

I purchased this Genius ColorPage BR600 as a gift for my better half who recently became a Real estate agent. Of course, she has seen my Cardscan in action in the past. Her comment about this Genius scanner was "you could tell its a lower priced and inexpensive scanner. If the print on the card is in anyway faint, this scanner will not pick it up". Also, she has business cards that have black backgrounds with white text (business cards of the agents where she works). This scanner can not scan and OCR them, but the Cardscan scanner does well with these cards.
If cost is the most important thing to you, then this is a good product. But if you are looking for a scanner which can scan almost anything you give it, you should spend more and get a Cardscan product.

At $30, this biz card reader was inexpensive enough (compared to other card readers) that I decided to buy it to see what it can do before making a larger investment in another reader. It''s barely worth the $30, however, because it''s below basic. That is, it reads almost no font other than Ariel or Times Roman-type fonts. With fancy fonts, forget it. You must type the info into the fields. The name "ColorPage" is truly misleading because this thing won''t read most cards that are anything but white or very light colors, such as beige. If it''s color, it can''t read it (so the name really irritates me). If the card is laid out length-wise rather than the standard way, the reader often gets confuses and can''t read it properly, forcing you to type the info. A major problem is if the card has any handwriting at all on it (such as many that I must process because people add personal email addresses, etc.), the reader can''t handle this and gives you Greek. So, you end up typing in the info. Last, you cannot add any fields to what''s provided, which are insufficient. So it misses additional info that must be handled manually in your database program or wherever else.SUMMARY: If you have many standard, light-colored biz cards to process, this unit will do the job at the very basic level and save you some time. All other cards you must handle manually.

I have been looking for a card scanner for home> I get a few cards from time to time and always wished they were in my Outlook contacts. I hated to spend too much on one due to the limited ammount I will use it. I saw this one on E-Bay first and decided to Google it for reviews and what not and found that it was cheaper on Amazon. It works just as it shoudl and the numbers go right into Outlook.Thanks

I do a lot of networking. If business cards were money, I could sell my company and retire. I bought this little gizmo thinking I''ll automate the tedious process of scanning the cards and having to cut and paste the text.I was happy when I got my business card reader, happy like a child opening a Christmas day gift. I plugged in my scanner and started to streamline the networking "process". "Santa was good to me," I thought as I scanned card after card. After a few weeks, strange and unexpected things began to happen. The reader would work sometimes and sometimes it would not. One day, it simply stopped working period....just like that

I only have 25 invoices to send out each month and used to simply hand-letter the envelopes. But this label system is really a time-saver even on such a small mailing. I can only imagine how helpful it would be if you had 100''s of envelopes to do! & it beats fighting with envelopes jamming in a standard computer printer! They look nice and work flawlessly. I''ve never had a jam after 2 years + of use.Read Best Reviews of Brother DK-1201 Die-Cut Standard Address Labels Here
My Labels arrived quite prompt, and well packaged. The Labels, along with my Brother QL-500 Printer perform wonderful for me. I use up near two rolls of Stamps a month, so I use the Label Printer a lot! Very happy with Amazon''s Service here!Want Brother DK-1201 Die-Cut Standard Address Labels Discount?
This is the refill for the 1-1/7" x 3-1/2" labels that are used by the Brother QL-570 label printer. This little printer is one of the best purchases that I''ve made since it not only prints mailing labels, but labels for storage boxes, labels to identify which electric cord goes to which appliance/techie toy, for file labels and for any other item that needs to be identified. I find that this size of label is the most useful since it is big enough for large lettering used with storage boxes, but can be folded in half with small lettering to make file or index tab labels, as well as used for return address and mailing address labels.Save 15% off
This product is worth the money. It makes good shipping labels. I''m very satisfied with it.
