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 tacky.
The all-in-one printer can copy, print and scan. It can connect wirelessly to your computer or laptop or alternatively it can be connected with the provided USB cable. The Setup Guide is very clear and easy to follow. I had never set up a printer before and yet found it easy to do and it took less than five minutes in total to setup.I find that this printer offers very good print quality and speed especially when its relatively cheap price is considered. I didn’t buy this printer myself but from looking online I think the cheapest it can be bought for is around the £34.97 mark and it is usually delivered free as well. For me this is definitely a great value printer that would suit the vast majority of people’s needs. It also is atheistically pleasing to look at which is nice and it doesn’t take up to much room which is especially useful for me as space is limited in my room.
