 Mediocre June 24, 2006

This is a decent printer that certainly serves it's basic purpose. Their are some things about it I find troublesome. For one thing, when printing in black ink, the printer uses ink from both the black and color cartridge. This causes the color cartridge ink to run out more quickly. When you select the "just black ink" option, it does only use the black cartridge, but the print is so faint it is virtually unreadable. And the printer won't work without a color cartridge installed.
Also printing photos requires sheet size photo paper. When I tried using small size photo paper, it would always go in or come out crooked so that I could never get the photo printed on correctly.
Generally it is a good printer with good colors and print quality. I just hate that the it is designed to manipulate the customer into purchasing unnecessary amounts of ink.
Also trying to convert from fax or scan back to copy mode is a pain and usually requires turning off the computer and printer and turning them on again. And if you cancel a print you have to do the same thing to clear and print again.
 BEWARE: Labels & Business Card Printing on HP 5610 August 18, 2006

BEWARE. This printer has one MAJOR design flaw: The print rollers slip on special paper such as Business Cards or any kind of labels. HP has 2 "Workarounds" but for it but neither fixes the problem. They only address the slippage at the top of the page but do not address the constant slippage throughout the rest of the page. I bought 2 of these printers for my business but can't print my business cards, mailing labels, or any other labels. BTW, very poor client service; once I mentioned the "workarounds" not working they stop responding. Selling printers on Ebay. BEWARE

Received this printer from Amazon last night and was really thrilled with its capabilities. I wanted an all-in-one unit for my office that didn't take up a lot of desk real estate . This is the third HP printer I've owned during the last 10 years or so and I knew the things were bullet proof. After researching various multiple capability printers I decided to purchase another HP. It will take you about an hour to set it up. The instructions were clear and the software loaded on my XP machine without problems, although it will place about 800 megs of programs on your computer if you go for the full install. Everything works intuitively and you will be copying, faxing, printing or scanning in just a few minutes. I was particularly impressed with the copy quality. When you copy a black and white typed letter, you will be hard pressed to see much of a difference between the original and the copy. And you can even feed the original into the machine via a paper feeder just like the expensive Xerox copiers. Most functions can be accomplished by pressing only one or two buttons but if you need more capabilities such as copy reduction or sending a scan to your e-mail or to Microsoft Word, they can be activated through the menu system. The unit is quieter than my previous HP 842C and prints faster. It's made in China and my experience with Chinese electronics has been poor at best. I hope the HP quality I've come to expect has been retained.
Good quality for the money September 14, 2006

What I like best is the (relatively) small footprint and light weight. It is easy to move the machine around and to get into the back when I need to do so.
Very good color print resolution. The fax and scan and copy features work fine.
I had resisted all-in-ones, concerned about too much activity jammed into a small space, but there is no sacrifice in quality for my amateur purposes.
CAUTION: The machine gives you a warning (a beep and a blinking light and an on-screeen message) about low ink in the cartridge waaaaay too early. The first time I believed them and immediately replaced the cartridge. The next time I kept printing and printing and printing... a long time, and the quality continued to be swell. I suggest ignoring warnings and carrying on until the quality of the output itself gives you the message.

This printer can print back to front. This is invaluable in saving time if you're printing a novel. It shows you clearly how to reposition the pages to print the second side.
Also, you can save ink by going to File-Print-preferences and changing the ink quality to Fastdraft or Fastnormal. You can still read it. I've already printed about three-hundred or more pages with some color with their sample cartridges and have gotten no warnings for low ink. (And this is with their sample cartridges included in the item). You can also print this in a book form where it's shrunk to fit to half the page in landscape form. I finally got my low ink warning and continued to print.
I didn't need to purchase a USB because it worked with my old printer's cable. I also got a USB extender and was able to move the printer further away from my computer. (I have a one-year-old who broke my last printer.)
The reason I purchased HP was because I couldn't find ink for Dell's printers and when I ordered the ink online the DHL people wouldn't bring it both times.
Another item is that the scanning feature is easy to use. I have so far printed CD covers, 119 page novels (three of them on fastdraft), and I've scanned. I also used the document feeder and it crumpled the paper. So be careful when putting the paper flat.
Okay, it's not kosher but I set the fax to answer the phone after three rings (you can set it from 2-6 rings if you set it to answer automatically) and I screen my calls that way. Unwanted callers get the fax. Did I mention it rings and has caller I.D? It does! It's freaking awesome! So if you get a call from someone you don't want to talk to at that moment you can just let the phone ring and it will give the fax screeeee... (you won't hear it. It's quiet.) If you do want the call pick it up before the machine rings the set number of times that you set.
Also, I bought this item listed as Free Super Saver Shipping. The other 5610 does not offer that. Don't order that one. The ink for this item is 22, 56 and I believe 58 for photos.[...]
I would buy the HP product again. It is lightweight, small and cute.
Oh, and there are very good instructions to set it up. I set it up in a few minutes. The software installing took a long time but I did the complete setup.
When you take it out of the box there is a paper (English and one Spanish) that tell you how to set it up. It's very simple!
