HP PSC 1317

This printer is the best i have used. In the past i have used lexmark and epson and was so sick of the price of the ink that i thought i would try an HP. This was the best thing i have ever done. I have had mine for 3 and a half years now and it is still going strong. It works well with both PC (have only tried it on XP) and with Mac. The printing it fast and of very good quality and even prints on photo paper extremely well. It is 17 pages a minute for black ink and 12 per minute for coloured ink. The max resolution is 4800 x 1200 dpi but i have hardly ever used this. The copy function works great, i use it mainly to copy my own sheet music and it comes ...  Read the complete review

We I bought my new personal computer in January this year; I also needed a new printer so the hunt began for the perfect printer. **The Hunt** Well the hunt for a new printer began at the beginning of January 2005 and ended near to a month later. Yes I know a month looking for a printer is terrible. Well I had a lot to consider when buying this new printer. Not just the quality of the print or the cost of the printer cartridges I also had a serious think about what make I was buying. Hunt over I bought the Hewlett Packard Psc 1317 all in one printer. **Getting It Home** I love this part it's like Christmas when you open that ...  Read the complete review

This printer is one of the most functional pieces of computing equipment used in donkey's years! I have previously been a fan of epson, butthis one came free with my new HP laptop, and so I thought I best give it a go. It is a beautifully strongly crafted printer - no loose ends or bits and bobs ready to come off - this is pure solid architecture. Having used it on Vista (unlike other reviews), I can state that it works like a charm - and very fast indeed! This leads me on to the quality of printing. It is pacey and yet still provides excellent print quality - black AND colour. Copying on this machine is so simple, with a touch-botton system working ...  Read the complete review

Very good print quality even for printing photographs. The HP PSC 1317 is the third all in one printer I have owned and by far the best. I have been using it for 9 months with no problems so far. The standalone copy function gives a much easier option than scanning and printing which previous printers have had. The ink lasts much longer than in the other printers I have had (both of which were cannon printers) and the ink can be purchased at good value, especially supermarket versions. The printer is solid and well-built, it has survived several 100 mile car journeys while travelling to and from university with no problems. The claim of 17 pages per minute ...  Read the complete review

I only chose an all-in-one because I didn't have the space for a seperate printer and scanner. Fortunately it didn't stand up to the old adage "If it does two jobs it won't do either properly" The qulaity of the Black and white prints cannot be faulted. If you are looking for a printer to print charts and graphs, then again, this is OK. DO NOT buy a 1317 if you want to print photos. I have tried and even with top quality paper and a 5 megapixel camera, it still produces grainy prints. Having run the 1317 for 18 months now it is starting to show itself up. The print head keeps jamming, which is a real pain in the backside. Also the ...  Read the complete review
