    5 Stars HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One printer, scanner, copier Review with images 06/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick printing, excellent quality, cheap, compact

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not necessarily bad for everyone, but the cable to a plug socket is somewhat small

    The HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One printer, scanner and copier is a life saver. As a student, often I find myself struggling to churn out work fast enough and need a reliable printer to quickly print great quality work time and time again. Funnily enough, I hadn't actually thought of buying a new printer. A few months ago, I already had a decent enough printer that although printing at a mediocre rate, did the job and I hadn't thought of buying a new printer. Then, the day an assignment was due, ironically enough, and I was required to print an entire booklet for myself and a friend, my old ... more

    5 Stars Terrific all-in-one printer 31/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use and install, good features and warranty

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I got the HP Deskjet 3050 from my parents at Christmas. At the start of this term we installed it in my university room. I installed the printer with no problems and since I have started using it there have been no problems. This all-in-one printer really does seem to me to have no faults. The printer itself came in a lovely box which was easy to carry from the car to my university room and even better than that 99% of the packaging can be recycled or reused. Additionally, according to HP the printer itself is created from 35% recycled plastic. Do not worry though it doesn’t look cheap or ... more

    5 Stars A Great Range of Features 19/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use, fast, triple use (print/scan/copy)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ink cartridges

    The HP Deskjet 3050 is a simply brilliant machine - at an affordable price.We got ours a year or two ago, and it has never broken down or had to be sent for repairs. The only problem we've had is with finding its exclusive J610 ink cartridges - one that was remedied with a simple look on Amazon!Previously, our printer had only been able to photocopy and print, but having the scanning ability really helps with work. It has enabled me to quickly share work with others on the same assignments as me, reducing paper usage and allowing a much easier point of contact through emailing the 'sheets' ... more

    3 Stars HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer: Ideal for Uni, not for photos 14/01/2011

    Advantages Advantages Ideal for Uni work, the occasional picture. Easy to set-up. Fits well on desk/worksurface.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Noisy, colour ink doesn't last very long if your printing pictures. Idle setting is tempermental.

    Me and my girlfriend share our printer and use it on a weekly basis for our university work. After comparing many of the cheapest printers online, we went to PC world and looked first hand for the cheapest printer/ink ratio. The printer cost £39.99 with the inks totalling £30. Our aim to buy the cheapest printer hasn’t worked out in the long run as 10 weeks later we have replaced the colour twice. The colour is built into one cartridge but allows the printer to resume printing even if one of them is empty. However the black is still going on its first cartridge. Within the first week of using ... more

    4 Stars A good first all-in-one wireless printer 30/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good connectivity, print quality and scanning function

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Leaves a border around photos

    I purchased this printer from Amazon for £36.99, which was a good price for an all-in-one printer, scanner and copier. I first used this printer with my old Medion MIM2080 laptop and it was easy to set up. However, the wi-fi connection between the printer and the laptop was not as good as the USB connection. It is currently connected to my new Acer Aspire 5336 and the wi-fi connection to it is even better. The installation software came with many applications such as one to scan objects; one to search for help on how to use the printer, check its ink levels and to set up the wireless ... more
