Mechanically, this printer works fine. However, the problems with it lie squarely with the software. You cannot use allot of the basic functions without the HP drivers(which is unusual for most printers). However, the HP drivers are full of bugs. The drivers once corrupted some of my other software. Secondly, you cannot install the drivers and printer software without the massive amounts of bloatware that the printer comes with. Do not buy this printer, at least until HP addresses some of the software issues. The headache is not worth it, especially for the price you pay.

Mechanically, the printer works fine. However, the software is horrible and it has a lot of bugs in it. There is no way to install the software without the massive amounts of bloatware that it comes with. The software also corrupted my computer, as the drivers that come with it are terrible. You can confirm much of this by goggling the printer yourself. These problems are common with some, but not all HP printers.

Printer has worked for me on Amazon. Just need to select the printer in the drop down menu just before purchasing label. The only bug I am trying to figure out is, if I don't choose the printer every time it automatically prints four labels. Does anyone know how to correct this?

Hi Colette, I haven't had any problems. Printing a two-sided page automatically was the reason I purchased this printer. I didn't want to hand feed the sheet in order to print the other side. I am very happy with the purchase.

Finally uninstalling and reinstalling the software did solve the problem as MS Update also prompted a Samsung Update for Vista which successfully installed. Thank you; thus far, I have learned to value this Samsung laser printer which I am hoping to use for first releases of my newest Creative Writing. Several thousand pages per black cartridge is an obvious advantage.

I bought printheads and its been fine for 4 months to date. How well do you like the printer? Is anything else not right on it?

I have not had that problem with this printer. I have only had one paper jam and I use this printer weekly and my step daughter uses it as well.

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

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

I have not had the same problem. My printer prints great in color and black & white.

Not mine, it's worked great for me. I replaced it about 4 months ago and use it every week. Does it print well? After all, that's the most important thing. Good luck.

No. I have had this printer since Dec of 2006 and it still works well..although I am starting to have a few slight issues with it. Ive been amazed at how long it has worked well.

I did not have any problems with this printer. I have had with other printers, however. If you are wanting to use the wireless feature, set up is easier if you attach the printer to a networked computer via USB cable and let it use the computer to connect to your wireless router. As far as print head alignment, be sure to use the special paper that came with the printer. If you have tried it all, then I recommend you contact Canon. I love my PIXMA. It's been the best wireless printer I've owned!

I'm having the same problem with 14 month old printer. Seems as if thousands of users are having this issue. HP not responsive about it. Avoid this printer.

not sure about that, but the printer utility, and both printer drivers have crashed multiple times in the past year. HP support does not know why, they just sugest a complete uninstal and reinstall each time. I love the quality of printing, but I hate the software.

I've had this printer for several months. The only time I've ever had a problem was once printing labels and I think that was more a problem with the label sheet.

I've had mine for several years too. But I've never had the error. Couple of thoughts. Be sure the green light on the front is lit before you start. You might try reinstalling the software from scratch. I am able to print using my netbook in my den and printing 3 rooms away with no problems. I'm on Windows 7; I know nothing about Windows 8.

I'm sorry I can't help. I use Windows 7. I can say this is one awesome all-in-one printer. I love it.
