Summary: Mediocre
Review: I made the mistake of buying this printer, and after fighting with jams, so-so print quality, and an indifferent customer service rep, I switched to a Canon S300. Now I have a nice printer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor Quality
Review: This printer is very cheaply made. After only a month, the snaps that keep the back door attached broke and since the rollers are attached to this piece, the printer could not print straight. I had to use duct tape to keep the thing together. It is poorly made and not worth the money. Don't waste your money on this printer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Economy Printer
Review: I work in IT. I recommend this printer for its price and for its quality. With 4800X1200 print resolution, the 3820 is able to print photo quality pictures at a text printer price. The ink cartridges are pretty big too (which is nice, because they are about $30 a piece). The newer HP printers use less ink than the older models. So long as your print isn't solid ink, it is pretty much dry coming off the rack. The paper tray folds in on itself, so when you are not using it, you can save some space.

Overall, this is a good little printer and well worth the money. It has good features and is relatively compact.

Summary: Paper jam everytime!!
Review: I bought this printer a few weeks ago, and everytime I've used it, the paper either jams or comes out ripped in one corner!! I'm very frustrated with this printer and will probably take it back to the store I got it at.

Summary: Great Print Quality~some snags though
Review: My second day with the printer. The display model in the store allowed you to print a test page, which looked awful, but I risked it and bought it anyway. Print quality is amazing! I've printed about 30 4 x 6's so far...one big snag though, no matter what I do, I can't get rid of large white borders around the 4 x 6's. This gives a polaroid look to them. Buy a printer that offers "borderless printing" instead.

Summary: Crisp Color Pictures
Review: Hi! I've never used this printer, but anything that prints out brilliant color pictures is for me. An indcator that you need more ink is a special add-on feature.

It looks nice, it doesn't take up a lot of room and it prints faster than the one I have at home.

Without using it, if I had the [$] and some odd to pay for it I would. Sincerely yours, Julie

Summary: POOR QUALITY
Review: I was not impressed with this new HP. They claim to have spent $2 Billion in development, well they did not spend it in QA or testing!. On my PC (ME OS) it would not print any picture larger than 100k and was very poor quality. ON-line support is a joke in that the goal is too blame someone else. Even tried dial-in service and after an hour a tech sent me a replacement. Disappointed in the new HP. Bought a Lexmark and have had no trouble and saved money too.

Summary: Great value for the price
Review: I recently went to purchase a printer and was prepared to spend about ($$$) for a photo quality printer. Thank goodness an informed salesperson steered me toward this one. It does wonderful photographic prints on HP premium photo papers, but it also uses lots of ink which is expensive. However, similarly priced printers in other product lines use ink cartridges about one third the size of the 3820 yet the price is the same. So I suppose I shouldn't complain. I am very pleased with the quality of this inexpensive printer.

Summary: Newsletters are crisp and professional
Review: I shopped online for days and finally visited a local retailer to break the tie. This is a great printer at a great price and it will do everything you want. With photo paper, output will be as crisp as the P1100 or the 1250. What I like is the option to go to 4800x1200 and use all sorts of media. My marketing materials look as professional as the ones I pay big bucks for. Of course this savings will now be offset by the cost of the ink, which I find to be a bit expensive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love It!
Review: I recently bought this printer after much research. I purchased a laptop a month ago as I was having trouble with the old (5 year old)HP and my husband had misplaced the driver. I am using it with the old Compaq desktop with a parallel port and my new Toshiba laptop with the USB port. It was a little easier setting up with the laptop, but not a major problem with the desktop. It is much quieter than the old one and also faster. I am very pleased. This printer is not for anyone with a space problem. It is somewhat bulky, even though the paper tray folds up. I considered the 920 C but settled on this one as it is faster.
