We purchased a HP Photosmart 7520 and it seems to be running just fine. It also prints photos, scans and has a fax capability. Hope this helps....

I just ordered one of these (for $87 from Geeks) - a refurb. I come from a copier repair background and would offer some suggestions concerning its jamming issues. As mentioned above - clean the feed roller with alcohol. Make sure you thourghly fan the paper before loading. If you still have jamming - turn the stack of paper over. Paper DOES have different "grain" front to back and one side will allow a better "grip" then the other. I wouldn't believe this if it weren't for my background. It sounds like this machine is more picky than many with it's feed system - but so are some copiers - and there ARE work-arounds. So I'll take my chances with it, and post a review later...

I've had this printer for maybe a year, and I've only had two or three jams, usually if I've been printing a lot of graphics-heavy stuff without giving the machine a rest. It overheats and the paper seems to stick. I find if I let it cool down and pull out the offending paper wreckage, I can continue without incident. I realize this may not be really helpful to you but it's what my experience has been. I find it interesting how many totally divergent experiences people have had with this machine.

I have only printed two envelopes and they came out fine without jamming. The manual says you can print a maximum of 3 at a time (face up) using the front multi-purpose tray and adjust the width to match the envelopes width which is easy to do. The inconvenience is that you have to open the back of the machine (this is where the envelopes come out). I say this is an inconvenience because my printer has the back facing the wall which means I have to rotate it 90 degrees so I have room to open the back cover. I think most people place their machines with the back facing the wall. Otherwise, performance wise, it's 2/2 without a jam. I'll repost if I run into any problems.

We have HP OfficeJet 6500 which has been a workhorse with no issues. It cost about $150. Good luck.

I have not had any problems with jamming. This is the slowest printer I have ever seen and has many other negatives but I have experienced no jamming paper problems.

Mine jammed after i folded a piece of printer paper twice to make the work faster. After I unjammed it (which is really hard to do) i stuck with regular printer paper and construction paper.

Yeah, pretty frustrating if you ask me....especially when you consider the Epson paper is typically more expensive. O-Max is having a sale now for Buy 1 Get 1 on HP paper but it doesn't make sense for me to buy any if it isn't going to be any better than the Kodak paper.

In my experience, I would a regular printer, it will print on sticky lables and use readable type. The SiPix Pocket Printer A6 was a total disappointment to me. It looks good in the ad, but in reality it is to small, uses heat sensitive paper, I.E., cashregister paper and worse yet, normal letter size paper wont fit, it's much to large.

agreed 100 % about HP. They are said to be the "best printers out there" but a year 3 months later it is sitting in the trash. I just bought a canon so we will see how it goes. :)

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....

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

This printer doesn't do very well with envelopes. You can try the bypass tray, but in my experience it will jam every time. Your best bet is to adjust the paper tray to envelope size, load in 6-10 envelopes, flap side up and to the left. Mine still jams really frequently, expect to ruin 2 envelopes for every one you get to print correctly. Envelopes that print "correctly" still come out slightly crumpled.

We have one attached to our HP OfficeJet 7610 and have printed thousands of double-sided pages without any trouble. Very thick paper or cardstock can cause trouble with any duplexer so be sure to check the specs for maximum paper thickness. Regular 20 to 28 lb paper has been working for us for some time. Cleaning the paper feed rollers from time to time using a Q-Tip dampened with rubbing alcohol seems to work well to keep paper feeds even and straight. It works as if it had come with the printer to begin with.

Like some others, I had the problem with the 532 paper jamming also. There are instructions on how to clear the jams on the Canon site. In the end I opted for another model, an MX 472, which seems to work OK and it uses the same ink cartridges as the 532

I agree with the first answer. The sad thing I learned is that a jammed printhead is a common cause of failure of this printer. It wan't a paper jam, although the readout said it was. The printhead jammed and there was no way to move it. Mine was only 13 mo. old so they wouldn't replace it and when I called they had no remedy other than searching for paper jam. For this reason I would never buy another Kodak.
