printer: Any suggestions?

I bought this one because I was looking for those features ... but I (like quite a few of the others) have been let down by the dreadful paper feed. I've had and used HP printers in the past (and some of them have been fantastic) but I can't really recommend this printer because of that problem.

The other answers are good approaches. But don't bother with the HP Helpdesk--the warranty has expired on this printer. Also run the head cleaning option under "printer maintenance."

ubuntu has inbuilt support for most of the printers. If you find issue most of the OEM provide drivers else you can get help from community. askubuntu.com

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I can't say for sure. I guess you could try making sure that the printer is set up for 2 sided printing. I once owned one of these printers. It was the worst printer I ever owned. I wish you luck, and I sincerely hope I was of some assistance to you.

Mr. Anderson, Thank you for your respond, I haven't connect my laptop through the printer. I try the "activity monitor" you mentioned. I appreciate your reply.

I do not print a lot nor do I use a wireless printer at this time, so I am not yet qualified to recommend one. When I buy a wireless printer in the future, I will do a lot of research. Good luck.

Sorry, I am a life long Mac person, but I would think a printer of this brand and price point would be. Suggest you Google your question. Also you might try to find a PC users group online and post your question there.

which printer did you ultimately buy? I have been mulling over the same three models also. Can't decide which one to buy. Len

HP 5280 inkjet all-in-one is the only one I've ever found to print great every time. HP no longer makes them, so I bought three additional ones from ebay that work well. Good luck!

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

I use a HP Photosmart C5280 that I purchased because of the print on CD/DVD feature. It also came with software for that purpose. There is a CD tray similar to you CD tray on your PC that accepts your CD/DVD for printing.Simply put your printer has to have that feature.

Here is a link to a review of all 3. I guess you have already purchased a unit by now but this may be helpful to others: http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/printers/Pigs/page_1.html

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

I ended up with the MP620. It seems okay so far, but I really have not done much with it yet...just printed out a few regular pages. Haven't tried the scanner, copier , or photo printing yet. Keep on meaning to , but just haven't yet....I will try some of these things in the next few days and send another reply if that will help. One thing, it said "quick start" and it doesn't seem to be very quick, but there may be some setting I have to change for that and I've pretty much just been turning it on and clicking print....

No, I did not understand what you wanted...sorry. Unfortunately, at this time i cannot help any further. The printer has been replaced with another one.
