The original Deskjets were good. I had a 500 that lasted years - until I decided I wanted color. But the new generation of their inkjets are horrible. Bloated drivers, mountains of dried ink inside them from the constant cleaning cycles, ink that is overpriced, flaky electronics, cheap plastics. I gave up on them and bought a Brother laser printer, and it's just what I want in a printer - reliable and available.
- brudgers 11y agoI had had my 550c for five years. Based on that experience I recommended the purchase of 3 Deskjets for all of us in the office. They were 600 series. Noisy as hell, crappy paper feeds, and without any aesthetic redemption. Between 1992 and 1997, HP became a different company. FWIW, I was using Brother products for years but they finally pissed me off enough that I'm on Epson.
