Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier (CC210A#ABA)
Customer Review: Works great (ubuntu linux user here)
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a Windows or Mac user, so I can't comment on how it works in either of those operating systems. My operating system is Ubuntu (linux).
Here's my experience with the printer:
I plug it in, turn it on, ubuntu detects it, and it prints flawlessly. No complaints.
Scanning works without a hitch.
Truly a plug & play experience for me. No input required from me at all to make this work.
I have absolutely no complaints about this printer. All of the negative reviews here baffle me. It doesn't come with a USB cable (no printer does). Some people complain about paper falling out after printing... there's a plastic tray that you pull out to catch it. It's not rocket science.
The print quality looks great. I printed a few documents in each of the 3 quality levels and can't tell the difference between them. It's quiet as well (I read one review saying it was so loud it woke their roommate up -- they must be a light sleeper).
All in all this is a bargain worth checking out if you need a cheap, good quality printer/scanner/copier.
Customer Review: Will frustrate you to no end
Summary: 1 Stars
Well I was actually thinking about purchasing one of these again because of the photo print quality but after reading the reviews I recall the frustration I had with the original unit. I originally bought one from a Circuit City and installed it as instructed (which btw took forever for the software to load). After the software was loaded I think I maybe did one print job and then disconnected my laptop for travel. Upon reconnecting my laptop it was as if I never installed the software to begin with. It kept asking me to "finish the installation process". This occured each and everytime I disconnected my laptop. Plus, I think this unit requires alot of memory from your computer so if you don't have the necessary memory, as I did not (cheap laptop), then you diffinetely want to consider something else. Regardless, if HP has not fixed the software problem then you will continually run into the problem noted above; otherwise, it printed great photos... when it worked. I subsequently took the printer back to C.C. for a full refund. Customer Review: Great, easy to use, LOVE it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had several HP printers in the past, and have been very satisfied with all of them.
One minor problem I encountered with installation: the computer could not locate the printer with the installation disc that came with the printer. It's an easy enough fix, just go to HP's website and download their current, updated version of the software disc.
Overall, an awesome printer, very fast, and works at the push of a button. I will continue to buy HP printers, because they continue to perform.
Customer Review: Bad quality!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this printer at Best Buy assured by the salesperson that it would be a good printer for my needs (casual printing, and photo printing). Little did I know, IT'S NOT. Beware, it took me 4 hours to install this printer on my network. This should've taken me 45 minutes tops! The main reason being that the installation CD that came WITH the printer, did not have the drivers for this printer (it had it for some other HP printer). My other 2 options were to call HP for the CORRECT cd, or download it for free online. I did the latter, which took ages because the files were huge! Then, this morning it took me an hour to print a 40 page document because this printer kept getting jammed, then I had to feed the paper manually! So all in all, I've spent 5 hours trying to maneuver this printer, and I bought it for the sole reason of convenience (aka spend little time on this thing and move on). I am very disappointed, and plan of returning it ASAP.Customer Review: Don't Buy This Printer
Summary: 1 Stars
This printer has had problems from the first day we bought it. The scanner has never worked, and we constantly get an error alerting us that the "printer cartridge is missing". Constantly.
It takes forever to start and the printer cartridges are very small. (This is why they are cheaper than the others. Don't be fooled.) Also, we very often receive alerts stating that "updates are available", which is HP trying to sell us ink.
