I've been out again buying yet another printer, although in my defence I got it at a knock down price due to the fact that it was what they call 'a display model', which basically means that I got it without a box as it was the one that was stood in the window of a friends shop for a while and he'd thrown the box out. So I gave him a few quid for it and away I went. Anyway, I was very pleased with my bargain, even with the months worth of dust on it, and the strange smell of burning, what I hoped was dust, when I plugged it in for the first time, although this smell disappeared pretty quickly and I was left with a rather fine looking, if a bit square, and very cheap ...  Read the complete review

I used this printer for my last year at University to print photographs and word documents and I have found that on the whole it is consistent and produces good quality printing. However there have been a few small issues in the past month. Ease of use: I found it hard to install the printer and my laptop kept failing to recognise it which means you need to spend a while loading cds and software before you can use it. Once it is installed, sometimes it doesn't align properly even if you follow the instructions and this can take time as you keep attempting to align it. The ink cartridges are very easy to replace and install by simply clicking into place. If ...  Read the complete review

I managed to finally connect by going through system preferences and printed one sheet to an okay standard. The quality and the clarity average. I then couldn't print again using the same methods and ...  Read the complete review

I have been a loyal user of HP printers for years, so the choice of the Photosmart 5510 was not difficult. Set-up was relatively easy and the print quality is perfectly acceptable. I wouldn't say it's lightning fast - there is a lot of clanking and whirring during the printing process. Paper jams are not a problem and the printer takes sticky address labels and card well. Scanning is easy and the software makes it simple to email scans. I have occasional problems when the message: "Scan to computer not active" is displayed but generally it sorts itself out. I am not a heavy user but I can't say I'm vastly impressed with the time print cartridges ...  Read the complete review
