This printer has never jammed or malfuntioned in any way and i've ownwed it for almost a year and a half now. the quality of the photos we print blew my mind! my mother is always bugging me to print her pictures now she says they are better then the ones she would get done at walmart and i agree! it is also alot less expensive to print them at home. This hp c4640 photosmart all-in-one printer is the best printer i've ever owned! it can scan, copy, and print black and white or color. Sometimes it will print.other times it won't.BUT it ACTS like it did.causing me to miss out on numerous coupon deals where you can only print ONE.and it looks to them like I already printed one, but I didn't. However, the BIGGEST problem, is that it is intermittant. If it actually took the paper, it often grabbed too many sheets at once, causing a jam, or tthe second sheet will start about halfway after the first, making the print be half on one page and half on the other.not good when you are trying to print a coupon or an airline boarding pass. Eventually, it will feed, after many tries. Often the rollers wouldn't catch the paper and would then continually say there is 'no paper', even when there is.

I know others with HP printers who have the same problem.Īnother problem was with feeding the paper. When it prints SOME things.(email, for one).the print comes out really tiny. I like the quality of the prints except for one thing. I still keep this printer plugged up, and I use it for the occasional picture, but this printer has really not met my expectations.įalse Could have gotten a better HP printer The cartridges just don't last as long as they should. My mother in law bought this same printer shortly after I did, before I became so frustrated with the ink issue, and she has the same experience with hers. I thought maybe it was that the print head needed to be cleaned, but it didn't improve the number of prints I could get from a cartridge. I found that the cartridges print about half of the amount that the information from HP claims that they will.

I thought at first that it was just an issue with the color cartridges because I had printed so many pictures, but the next set of cartridges didn't last nearly as long as they should have either and I only printed documents. The cartridges for this are reasonable and readily available, but they don't last nearly as long as I feel that they should. I initially purchased the C4200 model because the ink is readily available and is reasonably priced, or so it seemed. This printer sucks ink more than any printer I've ever owned. Sometimes I have to hold the USB wire at the back portion of the printer to get my documents to print out. Lastly, over time the USB wire that connects the HP Photosmart C4200 Printer to my laptop has become loose. If HP finds a way to lower ink cartridge prices they could corner the market with this product. The ink refill catridges are expensive, when a person has to buy the black and tri-color ink cartridges. There are only two downsides to this printer. The small flip up screen that displays the option menu is easy to read as well as to navigate. Positioning of the original document was initial confusing but after that cpoing was easy. The copier aspect of this product is good, copies are just like the original. I truly enjoy scanning pictures for family memebers. The scanning capabilities a magnificent they have digital photograph quality. **The Hewlitt Packer Photosmart C4200 Printer is the best all into printer I have ever owned.
