I just need a printer please - Enter HP Officejet 8000

Author's Rating:

Pros: Economical, inexpensive ink, individual colors, 15,000 page/month duty cycle, networking, web administration, duplexer

Cons: No manual tray.  No display.  First printer was DOA. 

Bottom Line:
This is a longterm economical option for a printer with a higher duty cycle and networking that includes management.  This printer is all business and little fuss.

A Finicky Printer

Author's Rating:

Pros: Print speed is fast, good quality output, good connectivity options.

Cons: Large footprint, noisy, slow to startup, replacement of printheads is expensive.

Bottom Line:
Unless you are set on inkjet, need a duplexer, or are brand loyal to HP, look elsewhere.  Consider a color laser or LED printer instead. Read More

Bottom line?  If you know what you're getting into, this can be a good printer for the money, but the downsides keep me from giving it more than 3 stars. Read More

Separate Print Heads

Very noisy

Very large

Bottom Line:
I would not reccomend this printer to anyone unless they find this long initialization process acceptable and also understand that the print heads must be replaced eventually. Read More
