...forgot to include, so if you find any not listed here or in the printer’s specification, please be kind to send it to me to include it into my review. Thanks :) -- Inside The Box When you get the printer, and open the box you will find: • HP LaserJet 6L Printer model C3990A • Power cord for the printer • HP LaserJet Toner cartridge (really I can’t remember if I got this when I got the printer or not, but I suppose they include one when u get a printer, any how if you didn’t get one, then I have the worst memory in the world). • Sheet of printer labels in many languages including Chinese • Some disks labeled drivers or something • Some documents including some brochures and the user’s manual. NOTE: I don’t know why HP doesn’t include an IEEE-1284 Compliant Parallel cable, but anyhow you must this cable because the printer... Read review

Advantages: After Sales Product Support
Disadvantages: Unwanted Pre-Installed Software

...you can also use standard CD-Roms. *DVD Drive To put the DVD you want to copy in though this is a faster reading drive so recommended as main drive, particularly for gamers. *NVIDIA Geforce4 420MX 64mb 4x AGP Graphics card Not the latest card that NVIDIA have in their array but reproduces stunning graphics by anyones standards.

It is also Direct X 9 compatible (Direct X is a Microsoft product which is necessary in order to play games. it comes standard with windows but new versions can be downloaded via MS Update).

Advantages: Excellent Functionality In The Short Term
Disadvantages: Ink's Too Expensive In The Long Term

...The first thing to say about the Hp DeskJet 5550 is its 4,800 by 1,200 mode, that it's only available when printing high-resolution photos. The source images must be at least 1,200 dpi and printed on photographic paper. For other jobs with other paper types, such as Plain Paper or Transparency’s, the HP is a 1,200 by 1,200 dpi printer. The second thing is that it doesn't really matter regarding what resolution the printer can print at. Just as today's PC graphics cards can display more colours than the human eye can see, today's inkjets' variable droplet sizes and resolution-enhancement schemes make the numbers race rather meaningless once past the four-figure resolution mark. This means that the 1200 dpi would hardly be noticeably different compared to 4800 dpi. Ignore inkjets' advertised speeds too, the DeskJet 5550 is rated... Read review
