Summary: Less is More!
Review: I love this printer because of it's ease of use and print quality in relation to the low price. The ink cartridges are easily refilled using the same bulk ink I use to refill my 56 & 57 cartridges. Two minor complaints: no greyscale option for b&w printing and on occasion, when printing cardstock, the paper will misfeed. It works flawlessly with regular paper, though. I own a vastly more versatile HP 6110 multi-function that is impressive, but the software that came with it doesn't play well with either of my computers. This printer's software is much simpler and crash-free. Ultimately, I often end up using it instead of the 6110 because the software glitches always occur when I don't have the time to play computer technician. I print business cards, postcards for mass mailings, contracts, photos, you name it. This doesn't do professional quality photos, but not all of us need that function. The photos even are good enough, believe me. The print quality is amazing when all things are considered. I also liked that this model comes with a 1yr. warranty, vs. 90 days on most cheaper models. You do have to buy a black ink cartridge, but if you refill them like I do it's a minor expense. Don't let a low price rule this one out!

Summary: Good, cheap, easy to use
Review: I've bought this printer to backup my QMS Laser and for my laptop. It's hard to carry the 80lb. QMS printer with ya, I can tell you that. It was cheap (Wal*Mart around $30-40) but it doesn't come with an USB cable (that's one star down). I haven't had any trouble with it so far. XPs detected it immediately. I have never used any ink printer before, but this one prints perfect. Well, at least good enough for me. Pictures are sharp, colors are bright. B&W print is very fast. I have even tried to print on the Iron-on-Transfer media and it worx great. I have washed the T-shirt 4-5 times already and no problem. I use it every now and then so I don't know how long the cartridges last tho.

Summary: cheap price tag is a trick
Review: Low price tag is a trick as (though editorial review states otherwise) package DOES NOT include black cartridge ($19).
You will also need USB cable ($15) - not included.
If you start using this printer without the black, color cartridge will run-out in less than 100 pages, new color cartridge is $21... Otherwise, only advantage of this printer is it's compact design.
Very slow.

Summary: Spending all my money on ink!
Review: Ok, the good stuff first. It's compact and quick and easy to set up and has been reliable so far. But, my Lord, the ink this thing runs through!!! I've had it less than three months, and have already had to buy one color cartridge and three black cartridges. More and more, I wish I'd bought a low-end laser printer. If you don't need the color, that's the way to go. The Laserjet 1012 costs less than $150 and gets an estimated 2000 pages out of every $70 toner cartridge. That's 3.5 cents per page. Estimates I've read for inkjets run around 25 cents per page. And at $80 spent on ink so far, I'm living that dream.

Summary: Ink hog
Review: One principle of economics is that you sell the razor cheap and charge through the nose for the blades. This works well for razors, but most people would revolt if they could only get half of a shave per blade. I haven't gone through a single 500 page ream of paper, but am already on my third $18 cartridge. That comes out to 33 cents a page, folks. Printing in draft or manually refilling the cartridges are the only options.

Summary: Deskjet 3520 is a mistake...
Review: The good news about the printer is that it is cheap and easy to setup. The disappointment starts from the time you try and print the first page. I would recommend it only:
(a) if you already own a USB cable (most likely with your USB cd/dvd-writer etc)
(b) if you print two/three pages a week
(c) do not care about printing in grayscale
My gripe list is:
1) Does not ship with USB cable
2) Does not ship with black ink cartridge (I may be asking for the world here)
3) Feeds multiple papers unless 15-20 pages are positioned in a specific way
4) *Biggest gripe *: If you need to print in grayscale, then you need to physically remove the color cartridge. It has no software enabled 'checkbox' option that lets you toggle between color and grayscale.
Oh, I forgot about a good feature: it has a rear access door that can be used to remove paper jams.

Summary: AWESOME print quality...
Review: the print quallity was not bad, really.
i wanted to print dvd covers. one should be able to do that on letter size paper. however, there was an 1/8" boarder, whether i asked for it or not!!!
also, how long are those ink carts supposed to last? i think i did about 20 prints and it was through! the lady at walmart told me it was a full ink cart that came with it
