No problems. I used this on both Xp & Vista with no issues. The copies look good, especially the color prints.
I was told I could NOT USE both on the same computer - to "get rid" of either the HP camera or the HP printer, as their own software for both was NOT COMPATIBLE. THIS PRINTER HAS NEVER FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. This is the WORST, WORST, WORST PRINTER EVER - SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON HP. This after a year of hell.They finally agreed to send me a new installation CD after a total of 20 hours online of trying to fix the problem.that was 3 months ago.no CD was sent.(my warranty had run out because I didn't open the box and begin using the printer right away until my former Lexmark printer ran out of ink).what a mistake.hired my own computer tech try to fix the problem.he was unable to fix it properly.I have purchased HP printers and computers for 20 years.NEVER NEVER AGAIN. Scanner and Fax HAVE NEVER worked properly.print Qeue freezes up - will not print nor will it let you delete the document.the only way to "unfreeze" the print queue is to shut down computer and disconnect the printer several times. The original installation CD was Corrputed - they refused to send me a new one.tried downloading drivers numerous times.to no avail.spent hours & hours, nothing worked - finally gave up and just used the printer functions.after 2 full days with online tech support, one decent HP tech (the 4th or 5th tech I worked with) FINALLY ADMITTED that the problem was that I had BOTH an HP Camera and HP Printer, and their OWN software WAS NOT COMPATIBLE. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS. TO HAVE AN HP CAMERA AND HP PRINTER THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE ON THE SAME COMPUTER IS INSANE.THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE PRODUCTS AND REPLACE.
The machine performed OK for about 6 months and since then, it constantly and randomly displays "cartridge error" messages. The included software for scanning is also awful, with a non-intuitive user interface.I have a Brother B&W laser that I've been using for many months, and it just works. I'm using OEM cartridges, too.I've reset (using # + 3), cleaned cartridge heads, etc., and usually after a while it will start working again. But what a pain to do this every time. I'm hoping to find a all-in-one that is just as reliable. It likely won't be an HP.
This is an excellent resource tool for copying, scanning documents and photographs, sending faxes, and printing from your computer.This particular item is also economical and does excellent work. A must-have for any office or student work.
I purchased the same machine again and gave my old one away. No, it doesn't mean it lasted that long. The cartridges are expensive. I purchased new (not reconditioned) ink cartridges thinking that the cartridges were bad.
I purchased a laser printer. These didn't work either. I liked the printer because of the multi-function operation and it printed decently. I purchased this printer approximately 2 years ago. I still have the multi-function capability with my new laser. This machine must have an inferior cartridge carrier that moves back and forth in the machine.
There are two cartridges - one black and one color. I stopped using inkjets because of the speed and the unreliability.
My toner cartridges are half the price with my laser and I can print 2,600 copies with it. After less than a year the cartridges were giving me errors and finally it stopped working.
The ink cartridges are large and do not move. It has been less than a year now and the 2nd one started giving me ink cartridge errors.
I tried new OEM cartridges again and errors still occurred. I can print black and white only but it's worth it without the hassle of buying a new printer each year.
If you really need color I would seriously investigate other quality printers.
