I think initially I may have purchased this printer out of sheer curiosity than anything else - Imagine, a colour printer with HP internals and cartridges, that never goes wrong, with a paper feeder that never jams, for £29.99. This must be a mistake surely! Well, all I can say is Thank You Toys'R'Us for selling it to me (yes, they do sell computers and peripherals - I was surprised too).

This printer fairly whistles through monochrome printing, particularly in the draft 6ppm "Econofast" mode (uses even less ink). Perfect for printing off quick maps, your resignation letter, your CV, copies of documents and so on.

It is easy to setup. I attached it via a USB cable (not included) to my WinXP PC and away it went - the setup was fully automatic.

Colour is not the worst I've seen, not by a long shot, but for colour photo printing I would probably invest a little more on a printer capable of higher dpi (dots per inch) rather than splurge on this printer's optional colour photo cartridge. The Apollo is capable of 600 x 600 dpi
at best (monochrome) and 600 x 300 dpi (colour).

The cartridges are reasonably priced, and can be easily refilled I'm told (no nasty chip to reprogram either).

Incidentally, for support and drivers (Windows 98, ME, 2000) go to:

You do not need to download additional XP drivers since they are already built-in to Windows XP. You simply plug and play.
