 "officejet 5610 sucks big time" | 2009-07-21 |

The unit detects the expiry date of the cartridge and if the cartridge has expired, then it will display error: print cartride error. And all the other fucntions like faxing, scanning, printing, copying will not work just because of the cartridge expiry. I mean I can surely scan or fax something even if my cartridge has expired. No, you can't.
Doing a search on the hp web site, I noticed that the cartridges used on officejet 5610, hp 27, 22, and 56, were listed in the will-work-beyond-expiry list on the official web site itself. But unfortunately it will not on an officejet 5610.
Printing a few pages on this unit so far, I have spent almost USD 40 on replacing the cartridge. You bet hp will sell the unit for only USD 100. They expect you to spend much more on the cartridge. So, my next printer will not be a hp. Maybe I will buy a laser printer. |

My first issue with this printer is that you cannot print business cards on it. It refuses to recognize the borders, goes "borderless" and thus you have messed up paper stock that is not exactly cheap.
It claims you can use 57 color ink cartridge, but you can't, you have to buy the 22, which has less ink.
If you are out of color ink, it will not let you print B & W.
I've had it just over a year and now that it is out of warranty it keeps giving a power error message that HP tech support was Useless in helping me with. BTW, don't expect anyone from an English speaking country to "help" you, HP tech support is in India.
LAST HP product I will EVER buy. |

| No problems. I used this on both Xp & Vista with no issues. The copies look good, especially the color prints. |

This is the WORST, WORST, WORST PRINTER EVER - SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON HP! THIS PRINTER HAS NEVER FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. Scanner and Fax HAVE NEVER worked properly...print Qeue freezes up - will not print nor will it let you delete the document...the only way to "unfreeze" the print queue is to shut down computer and disconnect the printer several times. The original installation CD was Corrputed - they refused to send me a new one ...tried downloading drivers numerous times...to no avail..spent hours & hours, nothing worked - finally gave up and just used the printer functions...after 2 full days with online tech support, one decent HP tech (the 4th or 5th tech I worked with) FINALLY ADMITTED that the problem was that I had BOTH an HP Camera and HP Printer, and their OWN software WAS NOT COMPATIBLE!!! I was told I could NOT USE both on the same computer - to "get rid" of either the HP camera or the HP printer, as their own software for both was NOT COMPATIBLE. This after a year of hell.
They finally agreed to send me a new installation CD after a total of 20 hours online of trying to fix the problem...that was 3 months ago...no CD was sent...(my warranty had run out because I didn't open the box and begin using the printer right away until my former Lexmark printer ran out of ink)...what a mistake...hired my own computer tech try to fix the problem...he was unable to fix it properly ...I have purchased HP printers and computers for 20 years...NEVER NEVER AGAIN. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS! TO HAVE AN HP CAMERA AND HP PRINTER THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE ON THE SAME COMPUTER IS INSANE...THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE PRODUCTS AND REPLACE!!!!

| "Constant "Cartridge Error' messages" | 2009-05-11 |

The machine performed OK for about 6 months and since then, it constantly and randomly displays "cartridge error" messages. I'm using OEM cartridges, too.
I've reset (using # + 3), cleaned cartridge heads, etc., and usually after a while it will start working again. But what a pain to do this every time. The included software for scanning is also awful, with a non-intuitive user interface.
I have a Brother B&W laser that I've been using for many months, and it just works. I'm hoping to find a all-in-one that is just as reliable. It likely won't be an HP. |

This is an excellent resource tool for copying, scanning documents and photographs, sending faxes, and printing from your computer.
This particular item is also economical and does excellent work. A must-have for any office or student work. |
