Rated 4 out of 5 by Scorp from Mr Had Product for quite awhile I would give it 5 stars except for double sided printing. It screws up quite often and if you are on the instant ink program it costs because you still get charged per screwed up sheets

Rated 5 out of 5 by StephenT from Great little printer I bought this printer many years ago, and it is still working well.... I have never had a problem with it, and because I subscribe to "instant ink" I never run out of ink.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Horseliomama from Basic ok printer, but not all features work. This printer prints ok, scans on flatbed ok, but serious problems with feeder tray scanning: random pages turn out blank (black in scan file) and often pages blurred, or ghosting. My old HP all in one was great for years until feeder tray scanning started to go wrong, that's why i bought this one, but it does the same thing new. HP quality seems to be getting lower. Was my fav printer company but each one gets worse than the one before. Can't return it or I would. Trying to get help from HP was not helpful, took forever and they didn't offer any actual help, in fact seemed not to understand the problem, despite describing it several times in great detail.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Craaag from There's a glitch in this printer Worked great for a few months then we got a frozen display screen showing HP logo and a bar across bottom of screen. A search on Google revealed this to be a common problem. After an hour on the phone with customer service HP replaced the printer. Great! Not so much. 1 month after receiving it we got that same frozen display and blinking power button. I unplugged it from the wall for a half hour and it works again! The first printer nothing worked. Hopefully it continues to function properly but I have the feeling it's not going to last very long before this problem returns. I couldn't recommend this printer but I would a different HP printer as customer service was decent. I gave 3 stars as technically it's working and warranty did replace the first.

How do I install this on my iPhone so I can print form it

Asked by: Cath B
This manual http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04724956.pdf explains the steps on page 29 and has links built-in to get to the other pages depending on the type of connection you are trying to use to connect to the printer from your mobile device. Since this particular model is no longer in production and support for it has closed, some of these options may no longer work.
