HP Photosmart 8200 - Inefficient and a waste of money [Posted on 2008-05-15]
If this newer HP is anything like its predecessor, the 8200, save your money! It goes through expensive to replace color ink in an amazingly short time and depletes the color cartridges even when you are using the Black Only setting! It's difficult to determine just which cartridges are getting low, and if even one goes out, the printer refuses to print.
I gave up and bought a Brother.
Paper feed problems [Posted on 2008-05-23]
This printer will not feed regular inkjet printer. It has no problems with photo paper, but what's the point of a home printer if it can't do you regular everyday printing?
DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!!! Hazardous to your health! [Posted on 2008-05-29]
This printer has been a problem since day one. There have been constant paper jams, constant "out of paper" when it is NOT, black plastic pieces that came out of printer after 6 months that didn't change how the printer functioned, paper loading problems, paper tray problems, photo tray problems, HP support problems, HP lack of support problems, but I've got to tell you, if you can handle not totally losing your sanity while trying to get it to print, the quality is fairly decent. Tomorrow my family is taking the printer to the shooting range to use as target practice...they are tired of hearing their mother try to reason with a printer. They are concerned about my blood pressure. :)
HORRIBLE [Posted on 2008-06-03]
This printer is absolutely terrible. First off, I had to send my back the first week, and I received a refurb after that. The printer "uses" colored ink even when only printing in black and white, so that you have to replace the color cartridges even though you aren't using them. If you're out of pink ink, you can't print in black and white, what a scam. I replaced all of my cartridges and only printed in black and white since then, yet I'm somehow running out of yellow, blue, pink ink a few weeks later. When I realized that I couldn't print in black and white without having all the color cartridges in, I went out and bought another brand and will never use another HP printer again. The printer is basically designed to get you to buy a bunch of ink you don't need. I'm convinced the printer will tell you that your color cartridges are empty when they're really not.
Super fast photo printer! [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I have just compared this printer to the deskjet 6840, and the slightly newer 6940. This printer is outrageously faster at printing pictures than either of those two. The cons are that it's very bulky and you have multiple different cartridges to worry about having extra's all the time. Once I figure out which method of refilling these cartridges is fastest then I will be Golden.
