Hewlett-Packard 1210

After returning to university in January I bought myself my laptop but at the time declined the offer of a printer. The theory behind this was that as a ‘slightly’ mature student, I planned to be very conscientious and have all of my course work done and dusted well before they were due in so I would have time to go into the Uni library and print my work off on the printers there. Unfortunately, this plan fell by the wayside in about week three of the term and found myself at 3am the night before an essay was due in manically driving over to my friends house to print my masterpiece! So, off to ... more

I’m sure those of you familiar with my writing will know I’m not a serious person nor technical minded. Computing is no exclusion. In my opinion a computer is a necessity and certainly not something I get excited about! I have a very basic home computing set up and earlier this year I had a couple of printer disasters, my trusty Canon Bubblejet packed up (Folks it was 8 years old!) and Andy’s Epson decided to no longer accept paper, this all happened in my first week of starting my home business! So what do you do? I don’t rate PC World but when in a hurry without time to shop around or do ... more

I have owned this lovely printer for around 6 months now I think, I've had my differences with it, but my old printer & scanner took up a LOT of space. It's so far eaten around 500 pages of thick Kodak paper & both cartridges are about 1/4 full - though I have done 10 or 20 enlarged colour photocopies with it. The one touch copy feature is a great feature, typically takes 20 - 30 seconds for a B&W A4, and anywhere up to 2 minutes for a colour enlargement (though has banding). If it was stolen, I'd probably buy a similar all in one printer, but one that can print faster as it is quite sluggish ... more

for seventy quid, i got my money's worth. this proved to be a very useful machine- you can photocopy, print and scan images on it. ok, so the quality isn't great, but neither is the way that England are playing in tonights match, so i ain't going to complain. the quality isnt that good, i mean, the specs are 4800 colour resolution- which isnt great, but for everyday use at home it surfices. mmm popcorn tastes good. this machine is supposed to print 12 pages pr min black and 10 in colour. rubbish. does it heck. more like: 0-10 seconds- switch on 10-70 seconds- 1 page oh well... a great ... more

For the mere £100 this little gem costs, this is all-in-one printing, scanning and copying at its best! I stumbled across this bad boy while searching the web for all-in-ones I had seen advertised in catalogues and newspapers, so i was a bit suspicious of it when i saw it was only £100 and I had heard or read nothing about it. Yet I still went for it anyway. If you're looking for a cheap, good quality all-in one colour printer, scanner and copier then this is definitly the one to go for. The installation was simple enough, aided by a huge novelty-sized installation guide (all on one piece of ... more
