Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having grown tired of finding my 2 inkjet printers dead because of dried up ink, I bought one of these from the HPStore.com for the same $239 it is a Amazon today. I received it yesterday and so far so good. Wireless setup requires connection with a USB cable. The wireless on the printer picks up twice as many neighboring access points as my Thinkpad, so it's pretty sensitive. It's a little noisy when printing or calibrating and not particularly speedy. I'm sharing it for home use with my wife - our "small workgroup". The print quality is excellent and what little graphics I've done look good. The starter cartridges say they're good for "> 600 pages", but the predicted page count will self-adjust depending on your usage patterns. Four replacement toner cartridges cost more than the printer does, but even if you throw it away after the starter toner runs out, it still works out to about 40 cents per page, which is in the ballpark for supplies for some other color printers. Since we use color infrequently (hence the dried up inkjets), I'm expecting the starter color cartridges to last a good long time. I already bought a replacement black toner cartridge for $60 for 2000 pages, 3 cents a page, again in the ballpark for cheap B&W laser printers. Unlike some manual feed trays, this one sucks in the paper a few inches when you insert it - no more standing there holding it wondering if the printer will pick it up. Addendum - 12/16/2010 - the Kingston KTH-LJ2015/256 256MB memory module works in this printer - popularly priced here at Amazon. Update - 11/26/2011 - Here I am a year later and still happy. One oddity to note with my printer: I print greeting cards on it and initially used the manual feed for the card stock. After a while, the manual feed wouldn't feed card stock reliably, which is a real pain when trying to print double sided on expensive paper. It would "suck in", but then just lays on the manual feed tray and never gets pulled into the print engine. I finally gave up on the manual feed and just put the card stock in the "auto" paper tray, which to my surprise worked perfectly! The printer comes with starter cartridges good for about 1/3 the usage of the retail cartridges. The retail price for four replacement toner cartridges is around $280. If you keep an eye out HP occasionally runs 20% off toner sales which helps. Update 03/31/2013 - Here it is 2 years later and the printer is still running on the starter cartridges. I've been getting out-of-toner warnings for the last six months and it just keeps going. The online status info says I've printed 832 color pages and 933 black and white pages. I have a full set of replacement cartridges on hand - I wonder if I'll ever need them! Update 02/07/2014 - Another year and I finally replaced the first cartridge. I got 1186 pages out of the "starter" cartridges. When the toner gets "very low", it will print a few pages and stop. If you restart from where it left off it will print a few more. We did this for a couple of weeks, with the color printouts still looking good until the yellow ran completely out.
