 BUYER BEWARE! Serious paper feed defect. March 11, 2006
E. Carbone (Atlanta, GA United States)

I bought this printer on a whim after having been a satisfied Canon user for a decade. I learned my lesson and will never buy another HP product. This printer worked well for about one month of light use. After this, it began to have problems picking up paper. I have used only HP Bright Inkjet paper, and the paper is crisp and fresh, so it's not a problem with humidity or curled paper. It's reached a point where every sheet of paper has to be individually coaxed into the feed mechanism. Even then, it jams about half the time.
It's hard to believe that HP did not discover this problem during product development and testing. Yet they have put this piece of junk on the market. I'm having to write mine off as a loss because it's now too late to return it to the store, and HP's only solution is to replace it with the exact same printer with the same problem. I'm hoping someone files a class action suit against HP for the junk they put on the market.
 Very Good "All-In-One" December 27, 2005

I think, and I may be wrong here, that the people doing the complaining about the paper jams are using cheap, crappy paper. In the manual, they clearly say that you should use normal stock inkjet paper or you'll get paper jams. I use HP's Bright White Inkjet paper (I have for years) and it seems to be working fine. I've only had it for a few days so the jury's still out but I'll bet that's what the problem is.
As for the printer/scanner/photo printer this thing is great! I require better-than-average devices for my work and this "All-In-One" does the trick. It's never going to be as good as individual components that specifically do only those tasks but it's much better than I had hoped it would be. The photos look great and the scanner gives me really crisp scans.
Overall, a solid offering from HP.

I just bought this machine yesterday and, while I haven't tried it out with the 4 x 6 photo paper yet, I have tried printing on 8.5 x 11 sheets of varying thicknesses with NO trouble with paper picking or anything of the kind.
I printed a photo onto 8.5 x 11 onto regular paper and was amazed at the quality on just plain bond. I also copied a christmas photo card from my sister-in-law and again, was amazed at the resolution and the quality.
Both the scanner and the printer are far better quality than I expected for the price I paid so I don't understand the negative reviews here on Amazon. I checked the reviews for this product on cnet.com and it got an 8.8 out of a possible 10 over there.
Don't be swayed by these negative remarks. I've seen plenty of rave reviews for this product and I agree with them wholeheartedly.
Yes, the paper does not feed correctly! April 3, 2006

I am in complete agreement with the rest of you who have had paper feeding problems. The printer was fine at first although difficult to set up (software). Now, a month later, the printer either doesn't take the paper or jams. It has nothing to do with the quality of the paper. I am also surprised that this wasn't discovered in testing. I also noticed that the ink cartridges keep getting smaller. What a rip off. I have had it with HP printers. I will never buy another.
A SOLUTION TO THE PAPER FEED PROBLEM May 3, 2006

Like so many others, my HP printer suffered from the chronic paper feed problems. The tech support people gave the standard suggestions (use a bigger/smaller stack of paper, do a power cycle, clean the roller). Nothing worked (surprise!). But here's something that DOES work:
1) Clean the roller as instructed (remove the back panel, clean the roller with an alcohol swab)
2) Spray the end of a Q-tip with hairspray
3) Dab/wipe the Q-tip gently across the surface of the roller, taking extreme care to not get hairspray on anything else.
4) Allow at least 15 minutes to dry
...and VOILA! Problem solved. Doesn't leave any residue on the paper (and even if it did, it would be on the back of the paper - no biggie). And best of all, no hassle of returning the printer for servicing, dealing with shipping charges, warranty renewals, etc.
And I must say, apart from the paper feed problem (which isn't a problem anymore), this all-in-one printer is totally freakin' sweet!
