 OK if you have low expectations January 12, 2006

Like most people, I wanted an all-in-one to replace a stack of machines: an ancient parallel-port scanner, a nearly ancient fax that prints with thermal paper, and the free printer I got from my last PC. After using this model for a few months, I find it does much of what I want.
I like the ability to scan documents to files for achiving and the scanning of multiple pictures into seperate files.
I suppose I shouldn't complain much for a machine at this price point, but it has several drawbacks:
(1) After running about 200 pages through the fax/scanner page feeder, my fed pages now show up with a line through them. Documentation says to clean the small scan window (which I did to no effect). Otherwise, you're out of luck. Flatbed scanning does not show the line.
(2) Regadless of which scanner you use, the printer adds small margins to each page. If you're printing a document with no margins, it will cut off the edges.
(3) Unlike even the cheap printers bundled with my last two PCs, this one has no wake-on-network capability (that is, since it site in my office, if it's turned off and I want to print, I have to walk over to turn it on). In fact, if something is stuck in the queue and I try to print a second document, it hangs my system.
(4)Like most HP products at the bottom of the cost curve, it feels flimsy. Every time I open the cover, it feels like it's going to fall off.

This HP printer/copier/scanner/fax machine is wonderful. We bought it to replace are other printer/scanner and it was the best upgrade that we have ever done. This machine is so quick at printing out pages, and it does not smear the ink either. Plus you can actually see it printing. Have not tried the scanner yet, but the fax works pretty good aswell. It also is not as bulky as most fax machines, it only took up half the space of my old scanner. I would definetly recommend this to anyone looking for a good inexpensive fax machine for your home or office.
 Exactly what we wanted! May 4, 2006

We recently purchased the HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer, Copier, Scanner, Fax to replace a clapped out 7 year old inkjet and an ancient parallel port truckbed sized scanner. Getting a fax (which we needed at home) and a copier (which we really appreciate) was enough to seal the bargain.
We've been running this unit for 3 months now - wife using it for faxing workers comp documentation, medical reports and resumes (coming off a work related accident). It is the most convenient unit we could have hoped for. It prints at a speed that rivaled our worn out inkjet (we don't do a lot of large document printing), copies documents and scans with a better quality than original document input (minus chopping of margains).
We have a second printer - a Canon photo inkjet that is now relegated only to photography printing. As expensive as ink is - the HP is still cheaper for office work than the 6 Canon tanks necessary for photos.
I've read a lot of horror stories related to installation of this unit - problems we did NOT encounter. Installation went without a hitch - we disabled our computer anti-virus program and everything spun right up. First time setup (minus the fax) took under 30 minutes. Our fax problem was our own doing as we have dual phone line jacks in our computer room and plugged the fax into an inactive line.
The unit itself priced out under $[...] where we purchased it - bought extra ink tanks as part of the overall purchase. Our unit came with a USB connector from HP, clearly marked on the carton.
At this price point - we got exactly what we wanted with no surprises. Printing is not fast - especially color. Photos are best printed on our Canon. Scans are good enough - but we keep a newer purchased Canon LDE series scanner in reserve for higher quality work.
Color combo ink tank is the greatest drawback - knew that going into the purchase - more expensive to replace the 3 color tank when only one color is out of ink. We're living with it so far - and we have no regrets with any of the functions the unit performs.
 Buyer Beware -- HP treats all sales as "Final" and "As Is" April 21, 2007

The product description for this printer should have read "You are purchasing this printer 'as is' -- all sales are final. In the event of failure, HP will do absolutely nothing -- so don't bother." We purchased this printer brand new in December. The printer stopped working in April (4 months later). We called HP tech support and here's a recap of the horror story:
* HP claimed it was the power cord
* They sent two replacement power cords (neither fixed the problem)
* Called HP tech support again
* They sent us a broken, refurbished printer
* Called HP tech support again
* The technician said "this happens a lot" and offered to send another refurbished printer
* We said "no" and asked to speak with the techie's supervisor
* Got a call back next day. We told the Supervisor that we wanted this resolved after 6 calls, one week of down time, multiple shipments of wrong or broken products, etc. We told the supervisor that we would post a review on Amazon if this wasn't resolved satisfactorily (please send a new replacement printer). He said "look at our Amazon sales volume -- that won't hurt us."
HP's warranty and technical support is non-existent. If you're lucky enough to get a technician on the line, you will have a great deal of difficulty communicating with the individual. They especially have problems with serial numbers, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses (they like to drop digits and letters). We had to repeat these data points 5 or 6 times EACH phone call -- very frustrating. Also, when the calls didn't go well, we asked to speak with the techie's supervisor. Most of the time they said "I don't have a supervisor." One of the techie's had a sense of humor -- he gave us the phone number for the president of HP.
I've been a loyal (and critical) Canon customer in multiple product lines. I thought I should try an HP printer -- it was a horrible mistake. The Canon PIXMA MP530 is a top-quality, supported printer with amazing performance. Don't look at the Amazon sales volume -- read the Amazon reviews. We're not the only ones that have had problems with HP of late.
The HP 5610 does have one useful feature -- it works great as a door stop.

....I am seeing all of these glowing reviews but I had a bad experience like several of the lesser reviews here.
Bought the unit, brought it home, installed everything in a snap (software, etc., Windows XP). The problem was that the printer wouldn't eject cyan ink so all pictures came out red/yellow. Called tech support, tried to explain that no blue ink was coming out of the print head on the cartridge, but i still had to go through myriad steps because they just wouldn't believe the cartridge was bad, and the tech wasn't authorized to send a replacement cartridge. She "escalated" my problem (after about an hour on the phone with her) and told me a "case manager" would call me in 24-48 hours (yeah, my boss would accept that excuse for my late project). Of course, that was Monday, today is Wednesday, and still no call from HP. I bought a new cartridge myself, printed 12 color 8.5 x 11" pages, and the ink indicator tells me I am already low on color ink!!!!! So, that's $18 for 12 pages....do the math. At this point, I am guess the problem COULD have been the printer, but not sure that it wasn't the cartridge. In any event, spent many hours trying to get this thing to work and failed despite my best efforts. Others are raving about this machine, so perhaps I just got a bad one. But I wonder how many people have printed 12 or so full-color pages, only to find out another cartridge was already needed at that point. With the cost of HP ink cartridges being what they are, definitely consider this issue when looking at this machine. Incidentally, my last HP printer/fax worked great for 4 years, which is why I decided to go with them again. Thinking of Cannon now, or at least any printer with separate ink tanks for economy as I do a lot of full-color printing.
UPDATE: Went with the Cannon MP500, available here at Amazon (great price, too, even with shipping). THIS is the machine to get--read my review there (when I get around to it). The MP500, however, does NOT have a FAX function--otherwise very happy with it.
