    5 Stars The Bog's Dollocks 09/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, reliable, double sided printing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't make coffee

    I've bought two of these for work. They are fast and reliable. Print quality is excellent too. Can't really fault them I'm afraid. Also, they get a great write up in PCPro. Have a look at the review on their website. Another good feature is that it can also print double sided automatically. This is a great feature, it saves paper and helps keep documents smaller. If you want to print artwork I would go for something like an Epson Stylus Photo. These produce better photos. I've networked one of them with a print server too with no problems. Had a problem getting a NT driver, but emailed their ... more

    3 Stars HP 990CXI - One to avoid 20/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, quality, low noise level

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive colour cartridges, needs frequent cleaning and blocks easily

    I bought this printer when they first came out - around 2003 I think. The print quality is excellent. It is quiet, reasonably quick and at first I was very pleased with it. The feature to enable printing on both sides of the page is excellent and has nevr given me a problem. However my enthusiasm quickly wore off. The occasional colour printing that I do soon caused problems. The print heads seem to clog frequently - printing 5- 6 A4 prints, or just leaving it unused for a few weeks resluted in very poor quality printing untill I cleaned the heads - a process that uses a lot of ink. When one ... more

    5 Stars The Best Printer in Ink Town 27/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, quiet, Cheap, Duplex, IR, Paper Type check

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost of Ink Cartridges

    Ode to the Printer. - You Print Fast (approx 17 pages per minute Mono), - You Print Quietly (whisper quiet), - You Print Cheap (cost of printer that is, not the cost of the ink carts). - You Print on both sides of the Paper, - You Print if I transmit via Infra Red (e.g Through my humble HP Jornada 525 - How do I get Pocket Access for it and can I swap it for a HP Jornada 745 with a full keyboard ?) - You Print intelligently by checking the type of paper I have inserted - You even switch yourself on if I have forgotten when I press the print button on my PC ! But you don't remind me to Spell ... more

    5 Stars Recommended! 24/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, fast, good quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't think of any

    Used this printer now for 2 years or so, and never let down by it. good quality picture, it has a very useful print preview so it shows exactly what will be printed. It also has a duplex module, so it saves you paper. Of course the color is a bit boring, grey, but who cares if the prints are colorful. Use it for foto printing, and gives nice colors. Been trying to fill up cartridges, but not so successfull with that, probably a waste. Another 44 words to type is quite a lot late in the evening, I can't think of anymore to say about this printer. Only 23 to go go go go! A few less now. Even ... more

    5 Stars HP 990cxi - What a fine machine! 01/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I stopped counting after 100.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe 1 - not really sure.

    Well, what can I say? Probably the best thing I ever did for myself and my money (printerwise). I bought this printer.. hmm, actually I cannot remember when anymore. Anyway, it was many, many years ago... and still an excellent performer. I never thought this workhorse would last for ages despite the " whipping" and abuses it had gone thru! It just keeps on running no matter what. What a fine machine! I was at first apprehensive to purchase this printer because it was quite pricey (not to mention the ink cartridges) during that time but I took my chances and never looked back. It will ... more

    5 Stars A work horse of a printer. 24/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It is fast, prints double sided and says when it wants ink!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages What disadvantages - can't find one.

    I have used this to print membership cards, newsletters and photos, also the odd letter or more. It has not let me down. I like the fact that it can deside the type of paper I am using. One thing you learn is not to take too much notice of the low in warning. It is only a guide and with all printer in so expensive you can print between 50 and 100 extra pages before needing to change a cartridge. As with all ink jet printers they get very dirty form their own ink, and at last a disadvantage I have to clean it! A really good printer. With the build quality I have come to expect with HP printers ... more
