HP Psc 1510 All-in-one Printer

It says it prints on paper up to 110lbs, yea, Id be happy to get some 30lb through! Envelopes, yea thats another dream. Im going back to Epson! True this is just a lashing out after spending hours unjamming and reloading and what not, but I feel I should share, I hope this helps someone. Not a printer for mixed media, if you are just going to use paper, 20lb its an okay printer, the copier has come in handy more than once, but dont try to be creative!

I am a college student and use my printer- alot. As soon as I had a big paper due, the printer DIED, non-responsive, unplugged and replugged cords. A few days later is magically turned itself back on. In the month that Ive had it, I have changed the black ink cartridge 4 times and the color cartridge 3 times. Frequently the paper jams and prints out blank pages among what Im printing. Unreliable and high maintenence compared to past printers I have had-I do NOT recommend this product. *update* This printer, which I bought not even three months ago, has died. It has been safely on my desk without exposure to excessive heat, cold, or moisture. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Both are great units. 1510 has an upgraded scan resolution, BUT the ink cartridge volumes are larger in the 1310 (twice ±!). Check it out. Software works great, including the OCR. I switched from Epson CX6600 (also a great all-in-one) as the ink nozzles are replaced with a new cartridge in the HP, whereas the Epson nozzles are built in to the print head, and when they become clogged it is a $$$ shop repair.

If you want to feed the paper manually into this printer, fine - buy it. You will enjoy it. If you want to hit the print button and wait for the finished product to come out while staying at your computer, stay away from it.

All printers Ive owed have been Hp.I was going to switch this time ,but a friend bought this model and said it worked fine.Well it jams all the time,if the power goes off it prints a new alignment page wasting ink and paper.My last HP was fairly expensive and it only lasted a year,when I get the money Ill upgrade from this cheap piece of junk.

I was placed on hold for TECH SUPPORT for TWO AND A HALF HOURS! this is completely ridiculous. I never got through to anyone. Each time their main routers would connect me to a random place which they promised was right and said would take 2 secs. I would end up on line for 30 mins at which time the end of the line would say connect 523 does not exist, Good bye. I then called back their main switchboard and complained (very nicely mind you) and the guy HUNG UP ON ME! i feel like suing for emotional damages! can you believe these people? so their promise of 24 hour 7 days a week tech support is not only bogus, but unreal and AWFUL. dont even consider buying HP unless you have a whiz who can help with your problems because their printer installation literature is contradictory (for macs, it says you have to wait for the CD to install first before connecting the USB cable, but the quick install literature says the opposite and then the computer installer crashes because of it). BOTTOM LINE: HP SHOULD BE SUED.

After just 2 months of minor home printing, this printer started drawing paper from just the right side. It immediatly jammed. repeated attempts to get it to clear were unsuccessful. If you get lucky the first page might go through, buit after that it jams again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!!

Yup, after our first cartridge change (I bought genuine HP cartridge), it would insist on printing a test page every time it is powered on. Also numerous feed problems. I bought this because of the HP name. Did a little research on the internet and lots of people have this problem, HP just doesnt give a sh@#t. No software or firmware fix, nothing. They got their money and the consumer is stuck. Worst of all the problem appears only after a while so by that time you cant return it. Never again, HP, never again.

Id first hoped to use this as both a copier and a scanner, but within weeks the paper feeder stopped working. Sometimes if I gave it one sheet at a time... but Im not that patient. But, I thought, at least its an okay scanner. I dont often need a scanner and I dont really care about quality (Im just scanning handwritten notes), so I was pleased... until this afternoon, when it started placing a dark streak down every page. No one can see anything obviously wrong with it; its not like I spilled something or dropped it. Im really unhappy with this.

I was traveling with a laptop with XP. A friend graciously let us use her apartment, including Internet access and an HP printer with a USB cable. We started to check-in online for our flight 90 minutes ago, and connected the USB cable to the laptop, hoping to print within minutes. Ahah, but this is an HP. So you cant just download a driver file of a few Mb and be done within minutes. You have to download 166 Mb of completely useless software. Then install it. After losing 20 minutes in the process, the install procedure is stuck at 18%, apparently doing nothing at all. This reminded me why I will NEVER buy an HP printer again. Their printers are fine. Their software is just the most horrendous bloated thing I have ever seen. This is unacceptable.
