Advantages: reliable, good customer service

Disadvantages: consumables very expensive

Have HP gone mad with their numbering? I bought an HP815 from QXL for £41 (plus delivery) and the only thing to distinguish it from the HP710 is the number on the front!
This is an excellent machine for the light user, printing is dreadfully slow on high quality colour (make yourself a cup of tea, and a sandwich) but it rips through my draft black text stuff. I have always bought HP brand replacement cartridges, and the HP710, 815 and 850 (my first printer!), all take the same black refill.
I would never buy any other brand of printer, the customer service is excellent, and for light users these printers go on and on.
However, don't get me started on HP computers, load of junk in an overdesigned tower IMHO.
