HP C7065B 500 Sheet Tray and Feeder for LaserJet 2200 / 2300 Series

HP C7065B 500 Sheet Tray and Feeder for LaserJet 2200 / 2300 Series
  • Hewlett-Packard C7065B LaserJet 2200/2300 500-Sheet

Merchandise arrived well before the promised time and was in original manufacturer packaging without any damage.

Installation was easy and it is working well. No complaints. It is not noisy and there are no paper misfeeds, etc.

I had owned a similar printer previoulsy that I bought directly from the manufactuer and recall there was a springlike mechanism to snap the paper down befoe; looks like the manufacturer removed that option.

The price was reasonable, as per comparison with the marketplace.

Would be pleased to order similar items from this seller.

OnlineLabels.com® USPS Click-N-Ship Shipping Labels for Laser & Inkjet Printers

OnlineLabels.comĀ® USPS Click-N-Ship Shipping Labels for Laser & Inkjet Printers - 2 Labels Per Sheet, White Matte - 100 Sheets
  • Margins: Top 0.375", Bottom 1.6875", Left 0.625", Right 1.125"
  • Labels Per Sheet: 2
  • Compatible With: Inkjet & Laser Printers
  • Common Uses: USPS ® Labels, Click-N-Ship Labels, Shipping Labels
  • Similar in Layout to: USPS ® Click-N-Ship Labels*

These labels are good quality but a few things could make them significantly better.

1. There''s no markings on the front or back of the page, so you have to hold them to the light and move them around to see where the label cuts are so you place them in the printer correctly. My prior labels marked the back (non-label side) clearly to show where the cuts were on the flip side.

2. The large "click-n-ship" label is cut tight to the USPS website "click-n-ship" layout, which is great if you are only printing from the USPS site. I print from there and also print USPS "click-n-ship" labels through PayPal which have a slightly different layout. Printing the PayPal USPS labels gets the important part of the label but leaves off part of the header and I end up cutting the top by hand after printing. I can''t imagine why the large label wouldn''t have been cut a little larger and then could be used by either website''s layout of the USPS "click-n-ship".

On the plus side, they print, peel and stick well.

These work PERFECTLY with USPS Click N Ship online. Labels are a bright matte white. They are thick/opaque enough to completely cover up anything beneath them, with nothing showing through. They work fine in my HP LaserJet and HP PhotoSmart printers. The result is very professional looking, and the price is excellent.

My only gripe is minor -they do not supply a template for MSWord on their website, even though they do for several other products. Seems they are trying to get you to use their subscription service. Doesn''t matter -I use them with the USPS site 99% of the time anyway.

There are 2 labels per sheet, but only one is a shipping label. The other is an "online label record". That''s not a trick -its how USPS prints by default. Its also easier to deal with if you print mostly one-off labels. The vendor has a 2-per-page version with no online record -if you buy those, I think you need to select the correct options when you print from .

(If you want eBay or PayPal labels, the same vendor has alternative products that are sized slightly differently -those sites have slightly different print specifications.)

These work great for USPS Click-N-Ship labels. Everything prints where it is supposed to be, and the small online record label peels off like it is supposed to do.

I ship a lot of club merchandise by flat rate, and use these labels like crazy. These work as well as the ones sold by USPS, for a tiny fraction of the price.

good quality, met my expectations, will re-order again, worked well with my Ebay labels. As with the post office program

I bought this printer after reading a number of good reviews on other websites. Regrettably, my experience with this equipment was horrible. The installation went smoothly, and the printer produced nice output right away. After about an hour away doing something else, I returned to print another job. When I sent the Word document to the printer, my PC crashed and began to reboot. This situation repeated itself two more times so I changed the USB cable, swapped the port on the PC that it was plugged in to, and downloaded and installed new drivers from the Lexmark website. Same story. The printer worked initially, and then crashed the PC when a PowerPoint presentation was sent to the printer.

I made a total of 3 calls to Lexmark tech support, and each time got the same solution. Uninstall, reinstall and everything would be fine. Well it wasn''t. Even though I explained in calls 2 and 3 that all the stuff they were telling me to do had already been tried, it seemed that they just kept following their same solution script. Lexmark seemed incapable of offering any new options to solve the problem.

At this point I phoned Amazon customer service, explained my problem, and asked if they were able to do something to help me. I was stunned when the lady said she was sorry I had the problem, and would I like a replacement printer or a refund. I didn''t want anything more to do with a Lexmark product at this point, so I asked for a refund. This is my idea of outstanding customer service. I am now looking for another color laser printer and will be choosing one from those available on Amazon Prime. My thanks to Amazon for amazing customer service. Lexmark could learn a lesson here, but I''m sure they won''t.

  • Small footprint
  • Scans directly to PDF
  • TWAIN and Certified ISIS Drivers

I''ve reviewed and used many scanners over the years. Each is inevitably a compromise. However, the Strobe XP450 is by far the best that I''ve tried so far in its price range. It''s fast. relatively resistant to jamming, easy to set up, and has less skewing than most automatic sheet feeders. It''s also very compact and reliable. Highly recommended. I use it in a law office setting and it''s been one of the major reasons that I have been able to move away from paper based files toward a much more efficient digital law office.

I have used PaperPort/Visioneer scanners for close to a decade, and loved them all. For some reason, though, their code gets worse and worse and their "support" simply does not exist.

For some reason, in order to install a new scanner, you have to remove all vestiges (even hidden ones) of the prior scanner software and drivers. Forget installing TWO scanners (I have both a Visioneer flatbed and a Strobe XP 450).

Is it too much to ask to get support for an item that costs $650?

I use this in a law office/buiness setting with an IBM laptop running Windows 2000. The problem is if I do not scan something for about an hour, the scanner loses its connection and you have to turn it off and back on to get it to scan. A royal pain in the you now what since the power button is on the back. I called Visioneer support and they said "That is the way it works if you do not use it it loses connection." I think that is BS. My HP did not. If someone else has problem and a fix, let me know. Otherwise, our office just nixed buying 50 more of these since I was the test case.

I love this scanner...it is fast, generally bullet proof. There are a few weird things about it, like it doens''t like to be plugged into UPS. It prefers to be plugged into a stip of the wall.

It does lose connection occasionally (not often). The fix is to power off the scanner and turn it back on with the switch onthe back. It takes 10 seconds...MAX.

This last purchase from Amazon however the scanner on this order I received was an older version of the scanner, which leads me to believe it had been sitting in the warehouse for a long time.

Be VERY careful when purchasing anything from Visioneer. I have owned a visioneer scanner for about 4 years, and when I upgraded my PC to Vista, was shocked to learn that Visioneer considers it "out of production" and therefore no new drivers are available. In short, I now own a boat anchor. If you think you might EVER upgrade your computer, you might be better off purchasing from a company who supports their equipment. By the way, I had to call a 900 number to find out that the product is no longer supported I actually had to PAY to get ripped off.

Apollo Quick Dry Universal Ink Jet Printer Film (VCG7033S) Save 62% off

Apollo Quick Dry Universal Ink Jet Printer Film, 8.5 x 11 Inch Sheets, 50 Sheets per Box
  • Premium transparency film for use with ink jet printers and copiers
  • Fast-drying formula dries faster than standard films, making it great for last-minute presentations
  • Specially coated for brilliant, detailed color image reproduction and exciting visuals using personal computers and printers
  • Universal design makes it compatible with most ink jet printers
  • Sheets are 8.5 x 11 Inches

I did not receive Apollo brand transparencies as pictured, but rather Acco brand transparencies in a plain white package with a small label identifying them. However, the transparencies I received do the job just fine, and I wasn''t interested in the brand so much as the price. These are much less expensive than what I could find in stock at any local office supply store since these don''t get much use nowadays (some didn''t stock inkjet compatible transparencies at all). Overall great for me. By the way, they are serious when they tell you to use the textured side. On the textured side they dry in minutes, if you use the smooth side they take forever to dry.

I print graphics I make in photoshop on these. They grab the colors which come out intense, more than on paper. I don''t project these so I can''t speak about that. I put one on my window, it''s very pretty. Dries real quick and the colors seem stable after 6 months, but that''s not in the sun. It suffered from condensation though, so it''s water sensitive, using my HP inkjet printer ( it has a setting for transparencies, nice feature, I think it shoots more ink) with OEM ink cartridges. Quite cheap comparatively, but some other brands say theirs are water resistant after drying ( at 2$ a pop!).

I''ve used several brands of inkjet transparencies over the years, and these are by the far the worst. I bought them solely on price. The emulsion is too rough to get sharp type or images; the finished transparencies were disastrous. Very disappointing.

I bought this same exact product by the same manufacturer last year. Last year''s version was much thicker and the films stayed flat while i worked with them and printed onto them. I had no issues and was very happy with the product. This year''s version, however, has been really hard to work with, as each piece of film is super thin and wants to curl up in my printer. (think of a poster that has been rolled up for a while, this is what each sheet has done as soon as i remove it from the package.)

I have now wasted about the half the pack on printer mis-feeds that leave ink in places it shouldn''t go because the things keep getting stuck due to their rolling/ flimsy issues. And these things aren''t cheap! Neither is the ink I''m wasting. I am hoping this is just a bad pack. Pretty disappointed in the quality this time around.

Some ink colors (especially HP brand 21 black) do not stick to these sheets properly. If you''re looking for a ''crackly'' effect in black, then this product is for you. But for my purposes, it doesn''t work at all. I''m going back to the previous brand I used.

Works as advertised, so far. Canon cartridges are pricey, I prefer the convenience of not having to replace cartridges as frequently, so the largest volume cartridge cost is worth not having to replace it as often. I am considering a refill kit to reduce costs further. Online purchases costs slightly less than Staples or Office Depot when shipping is factored in.

I was quite skeptical when purchasing this product. Usually hardware that says it''s PC & Mac compatible falls short on one of those platforms. Not so here... this little printer works like a charm on my iMac. It''s a breeze to install, paper is easy to load, and the software is both graphically pleasing and incredibly easy to use. You can copy and paste addresses right into the program and it will check to see if it is a valid address, add the +4 to your zip codes automatically, and even print the USPS barcode on the label for faster sorting. It even integrates with Mac OS X and allows you to print labels by selecting anyone in your Mac''s address book. Also, printing your own postage is a huge convenience. There is no extra cost for buying postage online, just the cost of the label, which if bought in bulk or manufactured by a third party, is really quite cheap. For the convenience of not having to go to the post office to buy stamps, the cost of the labels is a fair trade-off. It makes addressing packages and envelopes a total pleasure instead of a hassle. You can also use a USB scale to automatically calculate postage based on weight. This will calculate shipping for first class, as well as priority and express mail service. All around an excellent product and well worth the price.

Two Important Tips: 1) When installing a new roll of labels, there will be some sticky residue left from the glue put there to keep the spool from unraveling. Peel off the label with the sticky stuff on it before feeding it through your printer to prevent the residue getting on the paper feed roller. If the glue gets on the roller, it is likely to cause paper jams. 2) This printer uses thermal paper, not ink. The labels are best used for shipping, or things that require temporary labeling (less than six months). These labels WILL fade after time, and will fade very quickly if left in direct sunlight or in an overly hot environment. This is not a shortcoming of this printer, but of thermal paper technology in general. If you are looking to use this for long term labeling, I would recommend using a different labeler like a Brother P-Touch.

UPDATE: This first one of these worked so well at work, I have purchased a second one for home and added a USB scale to each. Very Very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Buy DYMO Label Writer 450 Twin Turbo label printer (1752266) Now

I was really excited when I first purchased this, the 25lb USB scale, and a pack of extra labels. I thought -no more lines at the post office: Great! On Dymo''s and Endicia''s web site, they made sure to point out that I could print postage from home for FREE and expressly indicated "no monthly fees." Again, I was very excited. I''m just a casual shipper -couple packages a year, so a monthly fee (like with Stamps.com) is not worth it in the slightest. Plus, a lot of the stuff you can do for free already anyway; just not First Class stamps.

So first I''ll cover unboxing and setup: it was breeze except for some sticky labels. Instead of using the CD that came with the printer, I always download the latest version from the web. That installed very quickly and painlessly. Then, I connected the printer and followed the Quick Start guide which was surprisingly well written. I installed the address labels first and completed that in under 30 seconds! Moved onto the stamp labels which proved to be a little trickier. The labels kept feeding in crookedly. The first time I pulled it out, the label peeled off inside the printer and I couldn''t get it out. I called tech support and to my surprise, the designers thought about this already and the front panel pops right off easily and the print mechanism separates in two places to get the labels out from where ever they are stuck! AWESOME! I finally figured out that the reason they were feeding crookedly was because of the glue leftover from the sticker that held the roll together. So, throw away the first two labels and you''ll be fine. Creating the Endicia account was also quick and easy as well as the Endicia software installation.

Now onto the not-so-good...

I attempted to print my first First Class stamp -$0.08 to make up the difference of an old $0.37 stamp. I played around in the software for a while and could not figure out where to type "0.08." I chatted with Endicia support and they told me that the "free" account only permits a small subset of USPS postage. $0.45 and $0.65 first class stamps, postcards, additional postage of $0.01, and flat rate postage for packages. In order to print an $0.08 stamp, I would need a paid account at a minimum of $9.95/mo. At first, I didn''t believe this. All their web site talked about was being able to print postage at home for free. Nothing about restrictions. Not even footnotes, asterisks, or fine print. Well, turns out it''s true. So, I''m returning everything to Amazon (who is awesome at returns by the way).

Bottom line:

Great printer and well-thought-out design. DECEIVING ADVERTISEMENT. The only "FREE" postage you can print is the same stuff you can do for free without the printer: buy First Class stamps (any Walmart or other grocery store) and print Flat Rate postage (you can do that via USPS.com). Even PayPal allows you to print First Class Parcel and Media Mail postage on their site for FREE to a regular printer or a label printer (although not this one yet).

Suggestion for Dymo/Endicia:

Please don''t misunderstand, I''m not unreasonable. I fully expected there to be some kind of limit on the free account like: you can''t print more than $500/mo or something like that. You have to have something that prevents abuse or use by a business that does a lot of shipping. But having what you''ve done is simply unforgivable.

I would suggest that you change your free account to have a monthly or annual limit of some sort. Something to separate the personal/casual shipper from the business users. Granted very small businesses would fall under the $500/mo idea, but that should be just fine (IMHO) -they are starting out anyway, why burden them with more expenses? It''s really a good business plan anyway. Get someone in on a free limited spend account and as their shipping needs grow, they''re already in with you and you get the business because that''s what they''re already used to and like.

I recently purchased the Dymo Labelwriter 450 Twin Turbo wondering if I really should have invested the money. I had been looking at it for over two years and it went on sale. My wife and I had been preparing sheet labels for our daughter''s wedding on the laser printer and it became too expensive and took too long. This little jewel has been one of my best investments! It printed everything in less time than it took me just to feed the sheets using the laser printer, printed them in an easy to peel format (no time wasted as with the laser printer), and I was able to print directly from a database. The merge label option in the Dymo software made it easier than using Excel and Word to merge the labels and offered more control over the results! You can set the printer to print only the screen shot or the entire database.

I should have bought this when I first started looking at it. The roll labels actually work out cheaper, faster, and of better quality than the laser sheets. One label or multiple labels-nothing beats this little device. On sheet labels laser sheets are already higher priced than ink jet because they must be made to endure more heat. Our time spent labeling the envelopes was 25% of what it had taken using the printer sheets. Also, you can load both sides of the Twin Turbo and print from both at the same time for more speed. My wife did not call this little wonder a toy! Buy ityou will not regret it.

I purchased this because I know my printer eats ink like there is no tomorrow (ungrateful brat :P).

Ink usually lasts me around 2-3 months of school. This lasted only a few days, and all I printed were around 50 pages of mere writing (not even pictures).

I''m pretty sure this isn''t my printer''s fault since this was a pretty "large, wholesome meal."

Maybe it''s just me, but I think I would rather just pay full-price at somewhere like Office Max or Staples (gee, that would have been Easy). It just isn''t even worth the hassle buying something that will have to be replaced so suddenly.

Anyways, I hope this review helps you. :)

Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards Save 35% off

Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, White, Pack of 200
  • Clean, smooth edges for a professional presentation
  • Two-sided printing provides greater surface area to give your clients key information
  • Extra-sturdy, matte-coated cards feel substantial in your hand
  • Convenient do-it-yourself cards mean that you can make changes to your design as often as you like
  • Design and print from your desktop in minutes

I wanted to make business cards at home, that looked and felt good, and that would allow a great color photo picture to be used on the card with my information. I selected the Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873) and after working with templates and WORD to design my card, I''ve been really happy with the results.

My cards are full color, one sided (even though you can print on both sides of these). The "linen" texture is only on one side, but if you print a nice color picture on the texture side with your business/contact information (my card has a color picture that fills the whole card space) then leaving the back white actually makes the card look even sharper, in my opinion.

I tried to print my high quality photo (with information) on these cards using a laser printer, an HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, and I was not happy with the photo quality on these cards (or on any stock for that matter). So, I am using a color photo inkjet now, and I''m really happy with the results. My inkjet is not too fancy, a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer, but the results look really nice. I use the highest quality photo print setting, and I tell it that this paper is "matte photo paper" and it all works!

The laser perforated edges on all four sides of the cards snap away cleanly. You don''t rip or cut or tear these cards apart, you print them, and snap them apart. This worked much better than I would have imagined. You can not see the that these were snapped apart the final product looks great.

Why not 5 stars then? I wish these were just a tad heavier. They are not cheap or flimsy as some reviewers suggest, but they are not as stiff (thick) as some cards. Maybe if they were thicker, they might not print as well in the low-end photo printers.

Buy Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards Now

I''ve used these cards for a while now and like them a lot.

The print quality is good, although I think a lot of this has to do with the quality of printer you use. I am using a Canon Pixma MP620 and I am printing only black & white one sided. The linen texture is not pronounced enough to interfere with printing, at least of simple graphics. The thickness of the card is perhaps a little thinner than professional cards but not a lot. They are stiff and rigid like a professional business card would be.

For me the best part is that I can create my own card layout--and I can change it as much as I like. Unlike professional services that require a purchase of 500 or so, I can print 10 at a time--or even one! I can print a sheet of all the same design, or a different design on every card on the sheet.

I highly recommend buyers download the free Avery Design Pro software--Microsoft attempts to copy Avery''s templates but they always are a little off and you will experience ''creep'' in the alignment of the card and printing if you try to use MS Word instead of Avery''s software. The Avery software is free and available in both mac and PC formats. Much like MS Powerpoint, the Avery software has ''preset'' templates with text boxes and graphics that require little manipulation--or you can delete it all and design your own from scratch! Be aware that when purchasing two-sided products like this, the preset templates will also be two-sided so be sure to choose the ''back of sheet'' feature to preview, modify, or delete any backside graphics before printing (or you''ll end up with an entire sheet of INSERT NAME HERE cards).

Avery is living on its reputation, and like other companies that try this, their reputation is going down fast...

Cards can only be printed one side (no indication of this on box or in literature); also, they had problems w/ink spotting (not printer related).

Very impressed with the quality. Those given cards commented on how much they looked like professionally produced business cards.

The reviews indicating ink bleeding and texture on only one side are likely for an old version of the product. My ink jet (Canon Pixma MP970) produced very clear and fine fonts in color. The cards are textured on both sides and can be printed on both sides.

This is a great product. Many of the previous reviews refer to the older product. The current 8873 works great, is textured on both sides and with a good printer, prints on both sides. For the best results DO NOT use MSWord. As usual, Word has bugs (which are the cause of most of the formating problems other reviewers mentioned), and some of them show up when using the Avery templates (mail merge is one of them). Instead, download Avery''s free software, DesignPro (unfortunately this does NOT work with Vista 64 bit, but does with other Vista versions), from Avery...

Verifone P250 Printer for all Verifone Creditcard processing Machine

Verifone P250 Printer for all Verifone Creditcard processing MachineMy old 250 printer died a week or so ago. I was steeling myself to buy another through one of the online auction sites. Just on the off-chance, I tried Amazon first. I found several vendors right away, and chose the first one on the list.

Good idea. the printer turned up within a few days, in excellent condition, and even contained a ribbon. Very pleased.

Printer was ok, but I didn''t receive the ink ribbon with it. It was very inconvenient. I e-mailed and ask for the ribbon. Unfortunately, the ink ribbon was never sent to me. I had to buy the ribbon by myself and it was not easy to find.
