Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...of the company. Whereas HP is a brand you can trust. The HP 350 ink cartridge is ideal for business or home users who want professional quality printouts. HP say you can get around 200 pages of printing from the product t a lot depends on your printer and the quality you print at. In conclusion you could take a gamble on a cheaper ink cartridge but HP is a brand you can trust and this product is of the high quality you would expect.... Read review

Advantages: Two sided printing and the quality
Disadvantages: Ink cartridge prices

...I bought my HP Deskjet 970 CXI in March this year. Compared to other printers I have used it is very professional. It has the option to printer both sides of the paper at once. Very clear, fast and sharp printing. Looks very good. Lovely quality when printing photographs. Includes the option of USB which is very handy when you use more than one printer and USB is faster. The only problem I had was when installing the USB driver. I had to telephone them. Their support was excellent and they helped me out very quickly. This printer allows me to cancel print jobs easily unlike the other HP Deskjet printers I have had.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap to Buy the Equipment, Good Quality Printing
Disadvantages: Cartridges are rather expensive

...I have had my HP 930c printer for over 2 years now and have never been disappointed with the quality of print it produces. From just plain word processing usage to printing pictures on photographic paper, this HP model comes up trumps. There is even a nifty slot to slip in envelopes for printing addressed for that professional look when mailing. Printing, particularly on 'best quality' setting is rather slow - but in a home environment this is probably acceptable. On this I would say it is not suitable for high volume users. Cartridges are rather expensive if you but the original HP versions - but I have now gone on to compatible carts and these work fine for me. All in all I would highly recommend this printer - it may have been superceded by later models by now - if you can still find one in the shops you wont be disappointed.... Read review

Advantages: Quality and speed
Disadvantages: Needs too many cartridges for frequent usage

...HP DeskJet 3650 I won this printer 2 years ago with Dooyoo, which was a pleasant surprise just near Christmas. This printer has been used for printing my CVs and my assignments. As I didn't buy this printer, I don't know the original price but I'm guessing like most HP printers, it would of cost between £100-200 depending on the time of purchase. You can buy this printer starting from 9.99 on Ebay and Ebuyer.com is selling it for £25 + £ 5 delivery. The printer is made by Hewlett Packard, which is a well-known company who produces good quality and lasting products. This printer is for personal use, as the cartridge wouldn't more than a few hours in an office environment. General info on the printer, it's blue and grey. 42.9 cm x 20.6 cm x 14.4 cm and weighs 2.3 kg. It has two blue buttons on the left side. The first buttons... Read review

Advantages: Very Good Quality, Excellent SilverFast Software
Disadvantages: Abit Large, Dust Removal Software Not Good

...The HP ScanJet 8300 is a Professional Image Scanner from HP's Scan jet series. This is one of the top end Scanners HP manufacture and is ideal for the business domain. There is also an 8300gp model of this scanner which is a Graphic Arts scanner and has a monitor color-meter calibrator as a added feature ideal for graphic designers. Now about the HP ScanJet 8300, the scanner has an OR (Optical Resolution) of 4800x4800dpi and will scan high dynamic range in 48bit colour. This is fine for transparency and negative scanning. The scanner has a max reflection area of around A4 size. HP includes film holders which will hold 3 strips, 6 frames of a 35mm film. The holders can be placed in the base of the scanner for storage. The ScanJet 8300 is supplied with HP's own photosmart software. I wasn't impressed with the scan pro scanning. It has... Read review

Advantages: Excellent print, scan, photocopy qualitiy, this is the best printer ive owned!
Disadvantages: Ink cartridges are a bit pricey

...this, to have some paper in the paper feeder because at a certain part of the installation/setup, the printer automatically aligns the print heads and it requires paper to be in the paper feeder so as it can print a test pattern out, after it has done this thats it, there is no need to go down the colums etc that Canon & Epson printers print out, then manually entering values off of the paper, the HP Photosmart C3180 does it all automatic, which I found to be a really nice touch, also there should be no need to align the print heads again as everytime the print cartridges are replaced the above print head alignment procedure is done again. The software was easy to install on my Windows XP Professional PC, I found the software very easy to understand, I will mention one setting that I found in the software that affects scan quality...

Advantages: Ability to recover to initial factory settings, durable and easy to use
Disadvantages: It comes with windows vista

...I bought a HP Compaq Buisness Notebook 6720 (GR647EA) from a HP partner two months ago. He gave me the Laptop without the recovery discs. I found it strange because the laptops I had used came with discs. I requested for them and he informed me that it has inbuilt back up and recovery. For two reasons - wrong configuration of keyboard and download of an update incompatible with microsoft office - I had to perform full system recovery twice. Each time the full factory image/settings was recovered and I did not miss a thing. This thrilled me because the last laptop (a different brand) I used, the full factory image/settings was not recovered when I had to format it. It came with a trial version of microsoft office 2007 (I did not need to buy MS office for a while), a sixty subscription of Norton Virus and windows vista which can... Read review

Advantages: Won't crash, Very customisable, User friendly
Disadvantages: Not designed for games (although everything I have works)

...Well, Windows 2000 certainly is more stable. Since I started running it it hasn't crashed once. I have had a couple of problems though. My modem is always auto-detected wrongly and won't work, even when I install the proper driver and also my HP printer drivers produce garbled printing and HP don't provide any drivers other than those coming with windows 2000. Apart from that, everything else was detected fine and setup was fine running along side Windows Millenium with windows 2000 dual boot feauture. The 2000 and millenium GUI are pretty similar but 2000 comes out on top looking more proffesional i think.... Read review

Advantages: Portable
Disadvantages: Only Print Standard Photo Size (10x15cm)

...Welcome to the first of hopefully many HP printer reviews that I am going to write. Let me introduce myself and how I got to get familiar with so much of HPs printer. I worked for HP on a part time basis and have the opportunity to mess around with tons of their products and the reviews that I will be writting will be totally from what I feel and not trying to promote the company for no apparent reason. I am not being paid any commissions ok! Well, since that is out of the way, let me get a kick start. Since the end of 2003, HP has been trying to promote its range of digital photography products and its photosmart range was launched. It is a set of specially made for digital photography products which ranges from the digital camera, photo printers, scanners and all in ones. "What HP Says" The HP photosmart 245 compact photo printer... Read review

Advantages: very reliable
Disadvantages: prone to adjusting paper while printing

...**HP DESKJET 3822** -Summary- HP-- Hewlett and Packard was a company that started in the US at the same time as the Wall Street crash in 1939. Two middle class university students (Hewlett and Packard) met in 1934 and became good friends. In 1939 their HP brand was formed and that was where their American Dream started - from the grave-stoned of a collapsed US economy; Hewlett and Packard was building an empire that was built to last beyond their own life times. The URL link for HP information and products is: -www.hp.co.uk- The HP's website has a timeline of historical facts, and is worth a view. I have been well aware of Hp since the mid 1980's and knew of the branding with regard to computers and printing. HP did the first touchscreen printer around 1986. Little did I realise than in 2004 I would purchase a HP Deskjet 3822... Read review
