This is a basic review of this printer and my personal experience of using it, rather than a highly technical review. My last printer was a HP printer/scanner/copier, but I'd had it six years and it was definitely past its best. It's been a decent printer though, so I decided to stick with Hewlett Packard. One thing I like about their printers is they don't tend to splatter ink about so I'm not having to always clean them out with surgical spirit. It comes with an installation disc and a quick set up guide which is simple and effective to follow. It also comes with standard sized black and colour ink cartridges. There's no USB cable included, ...  Read the complete review

This HP printer is one of the best things I have bought in a long time. The white box is quite large, but comes securely packages within the box it is supplied. However, there did seem to be an awful lot of packaging which seemed a bit un-needy. Installation was very, very easy on my macbook. I plugged in the usb cable (which I had to purchase separately!) into the back of the printer and into the USB port on my notebook. I didn't have to install any drivers and my mac did it all itself very quickly. Installing the ink cartridges was quite confusing how to do this, but it requires powering the unit up first to do so. Simply remove the plastic packaging from ...  Read the complete review

In the world of printing, standalone printers are becoming less common and wanted. Why would you want to pay £20 for a standalone when you could pay £25 for a printer faxer photocopier and scanner with a built in display and memory card reader for printing your photos without a PC? That is the first thing that attracted me to the Photosmart C4480 - not just its price which was very good but also its wide variety of features. I'm going to start with ink costs because that is what most people want to hear about. Well unlike the Lexmark series the ink is cheap (around £35 for a whole set) lasts long (about 6 months of weekly use or 2 months of hard use) and ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this printer a few months back as my old CANON one had broken and I must say I am very pleased at what I have purchasd. It was a bargain for only £50! In the box you get the printer, a USB lead, instructions a HP booklet, the two ink cartridges, a power chord and installation CD. Installation was fairly easy but a bit slow as my laptop is a bit outdated. Putting the machine together wasn't that hard and the installation process was fairly simple to follow. I was up and running in about an hour Printing Quaility I would say the printing quaility is very good. You get 34% extra pages by using the ink saving cartridges. ...  Read the complete review

When we were looking for a new printer at home, all we wanted was a printer, scanner & copier all in one. We didn't want it to do anything fancy, as we both have our printers at work for that. We saw this for sale on amazon.co.uk for £55, seemed like a bargain, it had everything we needed, with the added bonus of a SD card slot on the front, and a small screen to display images on. This is very good if you are looking to print out pictures directly from your memory card, you can use the screen to view and select the pictures. The print speed for a budget printer is good, up to 30 ppm black and 23 ppm colour. it also has the facility to print ...  Read the complete review
