HP DeskJet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer

• Up to 23 ppm black, 18 ppm color, 26 ppm with optional cartridge
• Up to 1,200 dpi black resolution, 4,800 optimized dpi color
• Borderless photo printing on paper up to 8.5 by 24 inches
• HP PhotoREt III color technology, PhotoREt IV with optional cartridge
• USB connectivity, optional external print server; PC and Mac compatible

I have a small desk and that''s one reason I picked the Deskjet 5740. Both paper trays fold up neatly when not in use, making this one of the most compact printers I''ve ever used.

My #1 concern was text print quality as I do a lot of correspondence and not that much color photo printing. With inkjet paper (my favorite everyday paper is HP''s Bright White Inkjet which goes for $8 for 500 sheets), the results are outstanding. Text is crisp and black... it looks right out of a laser printer!

The Mac OS X drivers are top notch! It can handle inkjet Avery labels, card stock, envelopes, transparencies, and premium photo paper. Plus it gives you full control over ink density, color balance, and ColorSync (Be sure to download the latest printer drivers from HP''s website as the CD was a little out of date).

And when you use glossy photo paper, the color photos are just like film. Really outstanding photo printing from HP''s "home office" Deskjet line. It can also use the special "Photo" ink cartridge as well as the standard "TriColor" cartridge. The 5740 also accepts HP''s jumbo sized black and tri-color cartridges, which are double the size of a normal cartridge at a much better price.

You can''t get a better printer for $99!

Buy HP DeskJet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer Now

Since we already have a scanner and a separate photo printer I just wanted a simple deskjet printer to use for family and school projects. I spent a day or so researching a bunch of different types and decided on this one. I couldn''t be happier. The print quality is fantastic and although it wasn''t a priority for me I was thrilled with the speed it prints both color and black and white pages. Just had a paper jam this morning (did I mention I have kids?)and rather than spending 10 minutes trying to rip the paper out of the machine, it very nicely rolled the whole stack right out. I *love* this printer and am amazed we got it for under $100.

Just because there is no official "Windows XP" badge on the printer or the Microsoft web site does not mean the printer "is not XP compatible". That just means Microsoft has tested it and certified it for the particular OS. I have owned many HP printers and have found them to be the most reliable. My only issue has been cartridge cost but after having owned a Canon printer with separate color tanks, I''ll stick with HP. As a previous poster stated about an Epson, you spend most of the time cleaning print heads. The poor sales guy at BestBuy was correct to say that the HP was trouble free. Of course this is a generality but for the most part, they are. I used to sell printers and the ratio of HP returns to other brands was wide. I would test returned merchandise and find that most items were fine. The problems are usually with the user or the user''s computer.

Want HP DeskJet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer Discount?

I purchased the 5740 early this year as a replacement to an HP 970Cxi. It was still running great but, my printing needs had increased and I wanted a newer model. At first, I was quite pleased with my purchase. I had used it for both b/w and color prints with no problems and then one day it just stopped printing in color. I naturally replaced the color cartridge thinking it had run out. Nope, that wasn''t the problem. I went through all the maintenance procedures they recommend...still nothing. I did the HP chat and he thought it might be a driver issue. I removed the printer and did a new install and for that day, the printer worked fine. I shut down my computer and when I rebooted the problem was back again. Did the whole removal...from the the registry and everything...and a fresh install. Again, it worked fine for the day and then died again. Nothing had changed on my computer...no new software or hardware. Spoke to HP again and he decided the unit was defective and suggested a replacement. I agreed. Sent back the unit, received the refurbished one and once again removed the drivers, etc and reinstalled. Bingo, this one doesn''t work either. Removed the 5740 and hooked up the old HP and installed its drivers. No problems. I tried the 5740 on another computer with XP and similiar problems ensued. I''ve decided it''s not my computer...it''s the printer. Another reviewer stated the drivers weren''t compatible with XP. I''d have to say that I agree.

We bought this about three months ago for typical home use and it has worked great. It is small, fast and quiet. The buttons on the front of the machine are very basic (On/Off, clear jam, cancel print and an indicator for ink level in each of the two cartridges). We are using this on an older PC that runs WIndows 98. The setup was a breeze, but you have to buy the USB cable separately. The software that comes with the printer is pretty standard. Black and white documents are clean and color documents come out good but not good enough to print high-end photos. For the price this is a great value for home use.

HP K8600 Office Jet Pro Color Printer

• HP K8600 Office Jet Pro Color Printer

If any graphic design artists need to print in CMYK and wide format, this is probably the best printer you can get in terms of cost and quality. The 88 ink is super cheap and it pumps out a LOT of pages. If you plan on doing a lot of printing but don''t wanna pay as much as a laser jet printer, you should use a printer that uses the 88 ink. For 20.99 this cartridge can give you 1200 pages. What other cartridge on the market can do that for so cheap??? What''s even better is how 34 bucks you can get the XL and the XL can do 2400 pages. Again, what cartridge do you know of can give you 2400 pages for 34 bucks? It''s a great printer at a great price when you can find it on sale.

I gave this a low rating, not because it is a poor printer, but because it can''t do everything I expected it to from it''s description and specifications without a lot of messing around. And maybe not even then. Not as near as good as the older HP 1220 that it is to replace.

I use it to print model aircraft plans and the included instruction booklets. I develop the plans in both raster graphic and CAD programs. Some pages are up to 24 inches long. The vast majority fit on 11 by 17 inch paper.

This printer is great for printing the photos and instructions I include, and was hoping I could do everything with this one that I could do with my old 1220.

However, under some conditions, this printer seems to want to ignore the margins assigned to the printout, and create either wider or narrower ones on its own. After three weeks of daily printing with this printer, I have yet to figure out how to get around this.

The margins are important for these plans, as the drawings MUST be reproduced full size, with no enlarging or shrinking of the images so that the parts constructed from them fit together.

I have noticed that it will print full size, IF a paper is used that is significantly larger than the drawing. For example, a 10 by 16 inch drawing will be enlarged somewhat (about 1/16 of an inch)if I try to print it on 11 by 17 inch paper, but prints exactly right by just changing to 13 by 19 inch paper. The problem is that the 13 by 19 inch paper is much more expensive, and I have to trim off a lot of it to fit the folders. It also doesn''t look very professional to have wide, blank margins.

One more example is when printing a drawing that used to fit on legal paper (8.5 by 14) I now have to print on 11 by 17 for it to print full size without being enlarged! Adjusting the margins on HPs printer setup, and/or the programs'' print setup, does not help, but usually makes it worse. Selecting the "Print At Actual Size" option does not help.

Also, in booklet mode, it wants to print much smaller than the 1220 printer did and the word processor defines. The old 1220 would print the actual size as defined in the Wordperfect program. But the K8600 increases the margins and shrinks the print about 20% making some of the print almost unreadable. It does format the pages correctly though.

However, in duplex mode, or single page print of the same text, it prints normally on the same paper! It''s just when trying to print text in booklet mode that it shrinks the page. Or when trying to print full size drawings as I used to with the 1220.

Unlike the 1220 (which could print up to an unadvertised 50 inches long) the K8600 won''t print anything longer than 19 inches. So, for a few of my drawings, I will still have to use the 1220 until I redraw them to fit on 19 inch paper, if I can. And use the 1220 to print the booklets until (or if) I ever figure out how to prevent the shrinking of images despite the settings.

So, for the time being, I am still using the 1220 for many drawings and the booklets.

But, the duplexer is great! No more turning the paper over to complete the booklet print or print on both sides of a sheet...it does it automatically! I can just walk away and come back when it is completely finished.

In favor of the K8600, the ink cartridges are MUCH cheaper, and with 4 of them , I don''t have to toss out an entire cartridge when just one color is out, as I did with the 1220. The print is super fast, and very high quality, even in draft mode...and the photos and drawings are superb...when they are the correct size.

I have had a HP Deskjet 1220c for about 4 years and never had a problem, except for having to clean the platinum and guides a few months ago.. very reliable, fast, and excellent, photo quality prints with permanent Vivera inks. The only problem with it was it used a lot of expensive ink because of the single, 3 color cartridge plus singe black. The Office Jet K8600 has separate Vivera cyan, yellow and magenta cartridges plus a black cartridge and they are available in the very large 88-"XL" size (up to 1700 color pages for about $25 and 2400 black pages for about $35). You only replace the cartridge color that runs out first and they are cheaper because the replaceable print heads are separate as well (they should last a life time using HP inks). The 8600 is compact, quiet, fast, and I''ve had no jams so far using a variety of paper types. It will print on heavy 76 pound paper in the front tray or rear slot. Comparing it to my old 1220, here are the things I don''t like, in order of dislike: There is no separate single sheet front slot, so if you want to print a few 11x17 tabloid drawings and the input tray is loaded with letter paper, you have to remove the letter paper, put the tabloid paper in the tray and adjust the guides, then reload the letter paper when you are through. The design of the out put tray clicks into a angled up position with a bit of force, but is still a bit in the way of loading paper easily in the input tray below it, but you soon get used to it and it becomes easier. The specs say would suggest that manual duplex is possible, but it isn''t in the printer software like on the Deskjet series, so doing duplex is complicated and error prone unless your external software includes the ability. I ended up getting the optional duplex unit and it''s well worth it, so I would suggest getting the K8600dn with includes it for not too much more. This unit doesn''t have PhotoRet like the 1220 and Photojet printers do, so color matching to your screen is not quite as good, you may have to experiment a bit with the printers color adjustments to get the desired results on different papers and then saving it into one of their user savable presets. Once you do that, the color photo prints on HP photo paper are excellent.. they look like commercial prints and are as good as my Deskjet could do. I had some initial tech questions/problems and I had very good service. After a bit of wasted time talking to their techs in India, I was called by their USA follow up and they worked my problem out. All in all an excellent printer with low ink costs and fast printing. I print all text on draft setting, HP Bright White paper and they only take a few seconds each and look almost as good as the regular setting. For graphics, the normal setting is excellent and very fast. Even photo prints at normal on HP glossy brochure paper are very fast and near photo quality.

Want HP K8600 Office Jet Pro Color Printer Discount?

The last printer I purchased for this one was an HP Deskjet 6980. I decided not to buy HP again, after numerous network connection issues. But this time I was in the market for a cheaper larger paper size printer. There is not much out there, so I ended up buying this K9600 Office Jet Pro. I only intended to use it sporadically.

It started off with the inability to print any other color than magenta. After spending hours with customer support and buying new ink cartridges even though the ones that came with it indicated full, "Well Sir, the cartridges come with very little ink and it is probably all used during set-up", finally it was concluded that one of the print heads must be bad. I received a new printhead a week later, and indeed the issue I had was resolved. Using it over the first weeks after however was a stackup of annoyances. But now, when printing paper that is a little bit thicker than normal paper (such as HP photo paper, not even the thickest kind), the image gets either smudged at the bottom of the paper or the whole image prints half an inch closer to the top that it is supposed to. a day later it keeps telling me that it ran out of paper. Tried all sort of paper and adjustments, turned off the paper width sensor. I cannot believe how much time I wasted just trying to print something.. If my office windows could open, it would have landed on the parking lot below it...

I have had very poor success with HP products on my Mac Tiger operating system and should have known better than to order the new K8600 wide format printer. It connected okay and said the software loaded okay. The printer performed test functions as it should but that is were things went bad. When trying to print from the computer it would signal that there was no paper. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it and it printed a page from the computer beautifully. Next time I tried I had the no paper signal again. Once again I tried reloading the software. This proceeded to trash my ability to download anything. I finally had to erase my hard drive and rebuild my computer operating system to get my computer back on line. This was on a Mac-mini 1.42 GHz with 1 GB of memory and plenty of hard drive and memory space. I tried the printer on my iBook to be sure it wasn''t my computer and got the same no paper signal. I quit right there before I trashed my iBook. I suspect an HP software problem. I have returned the K8600 through Amazon''s excellent no hassle return policy and am waiting the arrival of an Epson Stylus 1400 wide format, also from Amazon. The Epson products seem to be very compatible with Mac''s OS 10 system.

Also of note is that all HP Customer Service has been sent overseas to India, Thailand, or who knows where. The tech people actually speak English fairly well but do not understand it that well. If your problem is anything outside of routine it is very likely that you will get transferred from department to department and end up having your time wasted and no resolution to your problem. HP now has a red circle around it with a line through it as far as I am concerned.

Epson Stylus Photo 925 Printer

• Up to 5,760 x 720 optimized dpi
• 6-color ink system
• Paper roll with automatic cutter
• PRINT Image Matching II technology for color accuracy
• Prints full bleed, edge to edge photographs

This printer is great for printing pictures and you can even print them without owning a computer, as long as you have the memory or flash card. It is also capable of printing the long roll of 4 x 6 borderless photos and has a self-cut device that cuts out the roll for you.

When printing the glossy quality photos, it consumes lots of ink, so you might want to keep some back up cartridges, since they will drain out pretty quickly. Look for those generic ink cartridges for this model. They work well and save you money.

If you''re looking for a printer that prints great quality picture and capable of doing the regular printing, this printer is for you. But if you''re looking to print a regular color picture or just for printing documents, I suggest a cheaper printer.

When it works the pictures, transfers and post cards we''ve produced look great!

The problem is: you just don''t know when it''s NOT going to look great. You *must* baby-sit the printer, and about half way through each print (when you can actually see a portion of the image) decide if the printer is function correctly.

To get two transfers (at a each, just for the paper) we''ve had to print four times... wasting paper. 1st try: good. 2nd: oops clean the heads (uses ink). 3rd: oops, clean the head. 4th: great! Tah-dah!

Post cards: same thing. Several great Xmas cards in a row, then wham! Bad one. Clean the heads. Several good, and another bad.

If you like babysitting, don''t mind wasting money every now and then, enjoy listening to the printer cleaning the heads and printing test sheets, this printer is for you!

Love the instructions that come with Epson''s transfer paper, too. "Place the printable side up," it says. Uh, could you be a little less specific? There''s two sides, and this is my first time using the paper. Is that the smooth side, or the rough side?

"Choose ''Flip Image'' in the driver." Uh, AIN''T no flippin'' "Flip Image" option anywhere I can find!

On the plus-side: the printer has a small footprint so it doesn''t take a lot of room on your desk. Ink cartridges are easy to replace.

On the negative side: any paper thicker than your normal printer paper requires you be present to hand-feed each sheet. Post cards, business cards, etc will feed multiple sheets and jam the printer. Another "Engineering" marvel.

Yeah, but when it works... nice pictures are assured! When I win the lottery, I''ll try a different brand, and let you know how they compare.

I would feel better about my opinion if I could compare a full size pic from this printer to the much more expensive 960. With that said, I love this printer. Really, this is a machine with split personalities (as are many of the photo printers out there today).

First, it is a printer attached to and used by your computer. There are a huge number of options once you hit the print button. So many, in fact, that it is easy to mess up the quality and/or colors in your print. But if you are patient, the results from this printer are amazing. Using premium glossy photo paper, I am amazed at how much the vibrant images seem to leap from the print. Really a stark contrast to the dull flat images of yesterday''s inkjets. Print speed is okay, nothing wonderful. And, of course, don''t use this printer to do regular docs. The quality is fine, but you''re better off with one of the cheap (but fast and high quality) lasers out there, many about 100 clams.

Second, this is an independent digital camera printer. It has built in slots for compactflash, memory stick, and mmc. This is a great contrast to those printers with just a pc card reader (then yoiu have to purchase the appriate adaptor for you camera). I might add that the printer serves as an all purpose memory card reader exceptionally well. Any card you put in appears as a removebale drive on your XP computer.

I must say, the use of this printer independently is very limited right out of the box. That is becasue it lacks a preview monitor. Forget about being able to print the right picture from many on a memory card impossible unless you waste time and ink and paper on an index page. Also, the fancy features for cropping, resizing, rotating, etc are worthless absent the monitor. Since the monitor must be purchased separately at a third of the cost of the printer itself (for a tiny, tiny monitor), this is problematic. While HP photo printers are more expensive, they generally have built-in monitors, making the price more even w/ this one. But, the good news is that I just ordered a monitor for an older epson photo printer of ... very, very cheap. I called Epson, which told me that the monitor will work fine, it is just white instead of black.

Finally, I want to address the paper roller. Included is a roll of premium photo paper on a 4" wide roll. This is a GREAT idea. Since this printer can print all the way to the edges, you can produce high volume 4X6 prints easily. The printer will print them onto the roll paper and automatically cut them as it prints!! The result are prints that make my account with on-line digital photo processors obsolete. The only complaint is that the prints curl pretty substantially since they are on a roll.

In sum, a great printer. Sturdier construction than Epson has produced in the past, exceptional quality prints. The status screen is hard to read if the printer is on a tall surface. The paper is actually kind of difficult to load correctly. The lack of a preview monitor (and its supplemental expense) makes many of the features unusable. But these are really just technical points. At the price this printer is going for, it is a must have for amateur photographers.

I just bought this two days ago. I was switching from a Canon S800. I was extremely impressed with the pictures that were coming out. Much better than on my old Canon. Setup was a cinch. The best part is the true borderless prints. The 4x6''s I printed look like they came from a photo developer. In fact, they''re probably better looking than any one-hour photo I''ve used. And the pictures look great on matte or glossy. The epson paper is also cheaper than the Canon paper. I only wish Epson made precut 5x7 paper!

I haven''t determined if it really is an ink hog, but for the quality, it''s worth it. And I don''t think the tanks are that expensive. A full set of the Canon''s used to run me ~[$$], but these are under [$$] (color, don''t really need black all that much). The printer is really really slow, though. Probably the biggest drawback for me.

I haven''t played with the features on the display. I''ve been printing from the computer.

The best part has been that I had a paper jam that I caused, and couldn''t fix. I called tech support, and they agreed to send me a new printer right away. I will send mine back after I get the new one, which should be 2-3 days. No hassling, or anything.

I''ve been converted to an Epson user.

I agree with the other reviews here in that this printer produces amazing photos. But if you''re planning on using this in your home office, read on...

When used as a day-to-day printer for documents this is the worst printer I''ve ever had. Paper jams occur EVERY SINGLE TIME I print multiple page documents. The paper feed mechanism is the worst I''ve encountered, scarring some pages with it''s grippers. I''ve tried all kinds of papers, various numbers of pages in the feeder, all to no avail.

Ink is another problem. The heads clog once a day, producing a page with about 20% ink coverage. I''ve tried name brand and generic ink cartidges, and it doesn''t seem to matter. To fix it, I have to perform a head cleaning about 3-4 times in a row to get back to decent ink coverage.

So DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER if you are looking for a workhorse. It''s the most-unreliable printer (I can''t leave the room while I print because I know I''ll have to clear a jam) I''ve had the misfortune of owning.

Epson T124120-BCS Epson DURABrite Ultra 124 Moderate-capacity Ink Cartridge Save 17% off

• Better quality than the lab
• Worry-free handling - smudge, fade and water resistant prints
• Convenient individual ink cartridges

This ink works for me, and hasn''t ran out any sooner than any other ink I''ve used in the past. I''ve had a canon, Lexmark and HP ink jet printers and the ink is pretty much the same with all of them. I only use my printer ink to print important documents and money saving coupons. Otherwise, I rather pay 10 cents a copy at a copy center. I do like how the ink with the Epson durabrite doesn''t smudge like some other printer ink does.

I normally purchase my ink online so I don''t have to drive to get it, as I also have Amazon Prime with free 2-day shipping. Alas, my printer will not print without having all of the ink cartridges filled, so I had to make a quick run to Office Depot this afternoon. Price comparison today: Amazon price 12.99; Office Depot 12.59. I have to pay tax in KS, so I would not have benefited from having free tax with Amazon. I am sure I spent at least $0.40 driving to the store, too. So it is essentially both the same cost for me. The comparison was for the identical black Epson brand ink cartridges.

• Print black text and images at speeds of up to 15 ppm
• High-resolution capabilities of up to 600 dpi
• 150-sheet paper tray minimizes time spent refilling paper
• High-speed USB 2.0 port connectivity

This is a great printer for many basic print jobs. I was tired of replacing ink every 3 months on my ink jet printer and all I wanted was a printer that printed b/w so I could print out maps, shipping labels, etc. This printer is great! No problems at all, its fast, the print is crystal clear and the price is cheap! It does not print photos at all but I was able to print off google maps so it did its job.

Buy HP P1005 Laserjet Printer Now

This is a sturdy little printer and I bought it to travel with me. It''s so nice to have a laser printer for business and it''s plenty fast. It also works on Mac''s as well as Windoze XP

But, it''s more expensive than the newer P1006, which has more features and 4 times more RAM. The new one is only slightly faster, but a little heaver.

And, while the new P1006 lists for $180, its selling for under $100 street price. HP ships it OVERNIGHT for free, but you pay sales tax. Amazon uses a New York company, so you pay shipping and tax.

You can''t go wrong with this printer. It''s ideal for traveling sales people, lawyers, and students.

I have owned this great little workhorse for a little over a month now. Didn''t buy it from Amazon, but from HP directly for $49.99 with free shipping! I have put this printer to many a test, and it always performs very well. Does not crumple or mess the paper up like a lot of other cheap laser printers out there. I have it connected to my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router and it was a breeze setting this up to work on my home network which consists of an Imac, a macbookPro, and a windows Xp desktop. It is extremely quiet while printing and is quick. The best part is its small size. One could say it even looks cute!!

Want HP P1005 Laserjet Printer Discount?

I bought this printer to save some money on ink cartridges, and to print on some very thin paper that inkjet ink showed through. So far, I am very happy with the performance of this printer. I didn''t want a laser printer with a lot of features, just a simple machine that I could print on various size paper. I''ve not had any technical issues to speak of. It''s worked perfectly every time.

The only problem I had was with some information I was given. Online I chatted with an HP rep on their site. I asked whether the Bluetooth BT-500 adapter would work with this machine. I wanted to be able to print using my laptop. She assured me it would work because it had a USB port. So I ordered the adapter as well. However, not one minute after opening the box I realized that the TYPE of USB port on the printer was not the same as the adapter. I was disappointed that a rep designated to answer questions about printers didn''t know the difference between the various types of USB ports. I would expect them to at least have some reference material that tells what is compatible. I did try to find something online about this compatibility, but could find none.

I bought this printer recently much to my regret. It does not have the typical "stop print" and "reset" buttons that most HP and Dell printers have...only "on/off." That means you have reboot your whole system when the printer hangs up (which it frequently does). If I run out of paper in the middle of a print job, it often can''t tell if I''ve put paper in, so it stays in suspension. It really, really sucks.
