I am looking at buying this printer, but am very cautious about whether it will work with my 64-bit Windows 7.

I’m not sure where to start other than the unit looks nice and was packaged right. The instructions are vague and really don’t explain the setup. What also irks me is the cartridge for the black ink. When I put it in the message was that there was a problem. After several attempts of following their loose instructions I gave up. I looked for a phone number so I could ask for assistance and of course there wasn’t a number. The instructions are printed in four different languages ahhhhhhhh WHY? We live in America so print it in just one language and with a phone number for customer service. One more thing it looks like when they package all the ink cartridges they left out the BLACK one that fits.

I’ve owned a lot of printers over the years. Most recently inkjet printers from Epson, Canon, and HP. Even though this printer has more capabilities than most of the printers I’ve owned, it’s probably been the most frustrating one that I’ve owned for a number of reasons.
o It’s a bear to use. They’ve crammed so much functionality into it (most of which you’ll never use) that the UI is just ridiculous. Buttons, buttons, and more buttons everywhere. I feel like I’m piloting an airplane everytime I try to interface with that thing.
o The wireless networking feature works really poorly. I was originally excited by this feature. I have several computers in the house, and have a wireless router. The problem is that the printer frequently gets “lost” and for whatever reason decided not to join your network periodically. Then you have to bring out the USB cable, and re-initialize all the settings. After having to do this a dozen or so times I finally got fed up and just plugged it into the ethernet instead. That has worked *much* more reliably, but it is less convenient.
o the power-saver functionality works really poorly. Probably the most frustrating thing about the printer is what it does when you leave it on for a while. HP obviously put some consideration in to saving energy, which is fine, but it has bad side effects. If you leave it on for a half hour or so, it will power itself down into some kind of power saving mode. The problem is that it doesn’t waken from that mode! The only remedy seems to be to power-cycle it, at which time it often scolds you for doing so.
o out of the box, it doesn’t work with system 7. This was a surprise to me, since I bought this printer in 2010, months after system 7 was shipped, and this was one of HP’s newest printers. Fortunately, they came out with updates on their website that you can now go get. Still, it makes the cd that comes with the system worthless as anything but a very small frisbee.
o The ink sensors are not reliable. I’m also frustrated with these. On the canon printers for example, there is a really clear display that shows you the status of the ink. On HP, the display (like everything else) is ambiguous and deceiving. It’s been telling me that it is out of ink for weeks now, yet all the pages I print out continue to be flawless. I guess the synic in me says that they don’t mind so much in being “convervative” in their ink estimates and having you throw out your cartridge long before you actually need to in order to sell you more ink. But who knows, maybe it’s simply a legitamite defect.
All in all, this printer has too many warts for me to recommend. My next printer will probably be a Canon.

I just spent two hours on hp support chat (which I hate) and still can not use the fax. I switched my internet and phone service to Comcast cable, and I’ve spent hours talking to Comcast, Radio Shack, and hp and still can’t fax properly.
In addition, I still can’t scan! I’ve reinstalled from the CD and from the Web and it still doesn’t work.
I chose this model because I need to send and receive faxes and print wirelessly from my laptop. I have yet to try the wireless printing. Wish me luck!
I don’t like the printer settings. The draft setting produces terrible results and the only other option is normal.
I’ve had hp all-in-ones before and never had this much trouble. I do not recommend this AIO and am looking into how to return it.
