Great printer. But what's with Amazon's Price:
This is a $799 printer from HP and every other online reseller I can find. Yet Amazon is selling it for $975. What is going on with Amazon? As for the printer, it is great for the high-end home office, or small work groups within companies. It is fast and prints beautiful business documents. I would not use it for photo printing and super posh brochures, but short those two uses, it is a fantastic business printer. Finally, there is great value at $799. One caveat, watch out for the cost of toner. It's going to run you about 70-80% of the original cost of the printer. (It's HP's new and pathetic business model. Terrible for the environment. Terrible for customers. But sadly gauging customers over toner is the only thing keeping HP afloat.) In summary, this is a great printer, but do not buy from Amazon until the price falls to $799. And watch for the toner costs when that day comes. It may make sense just to buy a new printer. (Crazy, I know.)

poor quality printer that needs babysitting:
My requirements for a color printer were: excellent quality of text, multi media support, custom paper sizes. This only does the last good (I'm able to print 3.5x5 postcards to 8.5x14 legal). Got this printer in Jan 06, and am very disappointed with it. (it's May 06 now). If you want to use cardstock paper (80C/216 g/m2), you need to feed one sheet at a time in the manual tray, otherwise it'll jam. The color registration is off. It leaves a small row of colored dots on the paper. HP has replaced all 4 ink carts. three times already since Jan. It stops for a few ink impressions, but then starts again. Now HP says that this printer does not support cardstock paper. This is one of the main reasons that I purchased it. Very disppointing. Don't waste your money.

Horrible, poor quality printer:
I had constant problems with this printer, and then it died and was unrepairable after less than two years of extremely light home office use. I only changed the black ink cartridge once and never changed the color cartridges - that's how little I used it. Yet I had constant problems with jammed paper and streaky ink smudges, and printing on any size other than 8.5x11 was a gigantic hassle. Then one day I tried to take out the black ink cartridge (because it kept smudging) and couldn't get it back in. Turns out, there was a little wire sticking out that was, according to the repair person, part of the frame, which can't even be ordered as a replacement part (so it was unfixable at any cost). TOTAL waste of money! Stay far, far away from this printer (and maybe any HP, if this piece of junk is any indication).

Good quality, reliable color printer:
I haven't had any problems with this printer since I got it two years ago. We don't do a lot of printing (I'm about to replace the black cartridge for the first time). With four computers on the network, we leave the printer on always. It's pretty quiet in power-saving mode. To date, the only maintenance it has required is the addition of paper to the feed tray. HP has probably come up with something better during the past few years, but this thing has been so reliable, I'm not in the market. (No, I have no affiliation with HP.)
