A little disappointed w/ HP F4200
Date:04 June 2009
"I bought this about six months ago. For an all-in-one printer (minus the fax) it did its job well enough when it did. I don't print often and when I do, it's mostly documents in black. Basic stuff for me, like printing out my monthly bank and credit card statements.
About three months into owning the F4200, I wanted to print out a web page which had some color fonts. This was the first time after the print test when you first installed the printer, that I had used the color ink function. Went well enough. The second time wasn't the case. It kept jamming afterwards even when I just want to print in black. Ended up just pulling out the color ink just so I can print my monthly statements.
And yes, I agree with some reviewers here that the printer tends to use up ink at an above average rate. Not good."

Review 2 for HP Deskjet F4200 All-in-One Printer series
Overall:
Unhappy
Gender:Female
Age:Under 25
Computer proficiency:Intermediate
Not worth it
Date:24 April 2009
"I thought the printer was great when i got it until i printed out a few pictures,the quality of the pictures isn't the best and it EATS the ink. Ive used the printer no more than five times and the last time after printing 3 photos it decided it didn't want to print anymore. Kept saying its out of paper or paper jam and there was plenty if paper and no jam. The price of the ink is ridiculous you could buy a new printer every time for the price of a black + colour cartridge."

what Unit will do
Date:03 February 2009
"I have just purchased my F4200 series unit and find the function of what I have done so far to be very good. However, I clicked NO to would I recommend..........for the reason that I have been unable to find an answer to my qustion: "Will this unit print envelopes." I cannot find any mention of printing envelopes, or labels in the instruction booklets that came with the unit, neither do any of the links I read offer information about printing of envelopes or labels. WHY?"

A bit thirsty
Date:06 May 2009
"This product was recommended by a friend who works for HP and has one on his desk, so, because of this i went out and bought one. Real easy to set up, print quality is good on all settings, not had any problems. However, it is VERY VERY thirsty on the ink. It seems to go through huge amounts of ink, and, as we all now HP ink cartirdges are not exactly cheap. Would i recommend to a friend...probably but i would also recommened using compatable ink cartridges."

Not worth the $
Date:04 October 2009
"I haven't even had this printer a year yet, and already, the paper tray broke. On top of that, it's having all of a sudden started to have issues with recognizing print jobs. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and it is still not working properly. Here's a piece of advice for anyone considering buying this printer..... DON'T!"

Very good purchase
Date:13 February 2009
"No problems so far, excellent for ease of use and colour printing of detailed pictures. Quality of print and scanning/copying is excellent. Although I do not use it continuously, I have rated it slightly down due to the ink cartridges having to be replaced fairly frequently. These are not easily accessible or cheap in Greece!"

ocasional use
Date:14 August 2010
"As with every other inkjet printer I have tried, this one is no good for ocasional use. The jets dry up if the printer is not used frequently and once that has happened, even if you go through the cleaning process, the print quality is thereafter useless. I am told the only solution is to buy a laser printer."

Scanner FAIL

Will not scan at all
Date:29 December 2009
"The printer is ok, but the scanner is not detected on my computer. The copier works, so it's not the scanner the problem... I restarted it (the computer too) and reinstalled the software, IT WON'T WORK! Frustrated because it's the first time I actually need it bad and, like I said before, IT WON'T WORK!"
