Glad I purchased one [Posted on 2002-03-15]
I so glad i purchased the hp1215. I was hearing some negative things about it but i decided to get one anyway, and it was easy to set up and once i began printing pictures i feel in love with it. The picture quality is wonderful, no one could ask for a better printer. I know the price is kind of high but it is worth every bit of it.
WORST PRINTER FOR THE MONEY [Posted on 2002-03-20]
this printer does everything EXCEPT print! 2 months after i bought it, when i could even get it to print, pices of plastic and springs would fall out! it cost me money with wasted photo paper, it cost me money calling tech support. it cost me money on internet postage it [messed] up! i can't believe i paid ...fo this thing. as we speak i am in the middle of a biG hassle with HP trying to get my money back. you'd be much better off, for the money, to get a separate photo printing machine ... and a normal printer .... WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! (OBVIOUSLY :) )
I Expected Something Better [Posted on 2002-04-26]
After all the hype, and glowing editorial reviews everywhere, I expected this to be the do-all/ end-all printer. It's a printer - nothing more but a whole lot less. Setting it up is a nightmare as it does not want to recognize Windows XP. When it finally does, it is never going to win any awards for speed. Although not noisy, it does shake quite a bit and produces standard work output very, very slow. I've had Hewlett Packard's before (I started with the DeskJet 340 and up to the 950 series) and was pleased with the color output on previous models: The 1315 just does not give a high end output no matter what photographic paper I put in. Also, the infrared structure which was so highly touted does not work with a Palm Pilot. Even the structure of the unit is questionable. Loading paper into it requires you to physically snap the tray up. There is no release catch so you feel you are going to break it by having to exert so much pressure. The attraction to this printer is the small screen. Believe me, it is a novelty that grows old quickly. If the price were lower, I would recommend this for regular use (not photos) but for the price charged, it just doesn't cut it.
Staying Connected [Posted on 2003-05-09]
If there were a choice for no stars that would be it. I purchased this Hp and from the get go was dissapointed. If you want to do multiple sheets of printing good luck. This is where the problems starts, once you get your project going you will start to loose connection with the PC. And believe me this will be on going loosing time reconnecting and also loosing money on waisted photo sheets which were haulted in the middle of printing. There have been no solutions from HP in fact they discontinued this HP due to the enormous problems which were the same for everyone. Rather than fix the problem they simply discontinued the brand. If you think you won't have problems look up this type of HP on message boards and feast your eyes on all the people frustrated with the same problem. C'mon HP own up to the problem and give people there money back or at the least a free Canon.

I love the printer - I bought this one used and the shipper did a poor job of packing it. Required major cleanup of ink that was all over everything when I received it.
