Printers are like buses - at least in my house. No, my printers are not big and red with loads of windows. Instead, they seem to come in bunches. For ages, I'd been working with cheap ink-jet printers, the sort where the cartridges cost more than the printer itself does. Recently, however, I have come into possession, without parting with any money, of two wi-fi, all singing, all dancing printers. One is a Canon, which is a topic for another day, and one is an HP Photosmart Premium, provided by the kind folk at HP and Ciao, in the hope I'll be bowled over and sing its praises over the internet. But is it that good? == Boxing Clever - Arrival ...  Read the complete review

I received this HP Photosmart premium e-all-in-one, C310A wireless printer as part of a review site user test. I haven't had a lot of time to get a feel for it so I'll add some updates to this review when I've familiarised myself with more of it's features. ~First Impressions~ My first thought when the box arrived at my door was how big it looked and where was I going to put it.

However it is good to know that is an option if I ever want it. Once we opened the box we were pleasantly surprised to discover the extra inks and everyday photo paper (more on that later though). It was also not immediately obvious as to ...  Read the complete review

Printing is often one of those banal, day-to-day activities which brings little satisfaction and is at its best when it is a hassle-free experience. It barely even warrants thinking about, except when things go wrong. Which is why I love the HP Photosmart, because it actually makes printing interesting. I've had a lot of printer problems in the past; my last printer copped it on the hand in day of all my university coursework - not helpful. It served me well for a while but being a cheaper make, it was often clunky and in the end refused to print in black despite having a full ink cartridge. This is where the HP Photosmart showed up and saved the day. ...  Read the complete review
