Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I went through the color inkjet phase nearly 20 years ago, and abandoned it for just black and white. Recently, someone gave me two nice all-in-one's, an Epson and a Canon, scanner, printer, (fax on the Epson), and here we go again, printer out of ink in the blink of an eye, clogged jets taking two complete ink sets ( multiple colors and black), fighting with this mess yet again. As I was close to throwing these $200-$300 printers in the trash, I was told I should just try this printer. As I stood there looking at getting yet another refill 'set', I saw this for about $30 and thought 'it's cheaper than the set of refill ink cartridges', so why not. And, WOW, it prints! I got this printer and a set of refill cartridges, thinking the ones that came with the printer would run out quickly, but they are still in there and printing just fine. Sure, it does not have a scanner, and all that biz, if you're looking for a good, plain ole' printer, you cannot hardly go wrong with this. Maybe I was just at the end of my rope with these other 'hi-tech' printers that just drove me to shear aggravation, that anything would be a welcome improvement. It seems things that just work without a lot of frustration is becoming more and more difficult to find. I installed the printer, loaded the drivers from the CD, and it works. I've even printed a few photos that came out better looking than my hi-tech printers. I hope HP continues to make this, and at this price point. It is a inexpensive printer, and it's light as a feather, nothing hefty to it. The door is flimsy, etc., but hey,... it prints color and black & white, and does a pretty darn good job of it.
