First, the bad news:
If "printing", for you, means printing out 200 pages in a day, then this printer isn''t going to be for you. The cartridge (specifically, the black) probably wouldn''t hold out too long, and the printer would end up costing you money. The cartridges aren''t cheap.
Now, the good news:
For those of us with light printing needs:
the ocassional picture
maps from a driving directions site
receipt from an online purchase
paper versions of your taxes
If those are your needs, this printer will serve you well. It''s very inexpensive, very quick, and has adequate color. And while the cartridges aren''t big, they are more than adequate for the kinds of tasks listed above. I''ve had mine for over a month and the black cartridge isn''t even 1/4 empty. If you''re a light user, and you don''t mind spending $20 every (I''m guessing) 6 months or so, this is probably a great printer for you.
On the other hand, if you''re an author who likes to print out his or her 500-page manuscript several times a month, you might want to look elsewhere for a printer that takes a larger cartridge.

Like the other poster said, 1 star is TOO GENEROUS.
I dont even know what it wants, I bought cheap paper at first coz I print useless stuff like lyrics and memos. SO i bought expensive paper and it still says paper jam. I want to cry right now. I just wasted 40 bucks on something I really wanna beat up with a hammer or run over w/ a truck. I am not sure if I can still return it and I am afraid of selling it.
Please dont buy it. It was a shame that I didnt check reviews prior to purchase, I really trusted HP.

This printer is not worth the cheap price. The ink doesnt last at all. I bought a brand new black ink cartridge to print a thesis paper and got 30 pages printed and the ink ran out. Also it kept crashing after printing 3 pages, just stopped and acted like the print job was done. So, I had to print it one page at a time. What a waste of money.

I researched this printer before buying it and the reviews said it was good for low volume printing and the output quality was good. It was purchased for my son to use at college for printing reports and papers.
Low volume is an understatement, the ink cartridges only hold 5 ml of ink and cost in the neighborhood of $15. The cartridges for my older HP932 printer hold about 19 ml and go for about $30.
Upon arrival, the sealed box contained no power cord. I had to call HP to have them send me one. To their credit, I will say that their support staff was friendly and helpful.
It also tends to jam all the time.
My son stopped trying to use it altogether.
I wouldn''t recommend it.
I regret buying this printer. I can only feed one page at a time to avoid paper jams, whether using recycled or new paper. I really don''t print that much and this is the most I''ve ever spent on ink. The print quality isn''t even that great. It was a waste of money.
