Summary: A Great Basic MFD
Review: I'm very pleased with this purchase. It was a replacement for a 8-year-old MFD, and it has fulfilled all of my goals. No, it's not a top-of-the line printer/copier/scanner/fax, but frankly I didn't need one. I do just 5-10 copies a week and a scan or fax here and there. Every once and awhile, I use it as a backup for my laser printer. For my needs, it's great. I love that I can turn off the fax or set it so it "listens" for fax tones before answering. The copy quality is actually superior to the local library's machines. Installation was flawless.

Summary: Three different stores...three strikes you are out !!!
Review: I purchased three of these over the weekend at different local electronics' superstores here in Austin. Each one had a slightly different paper handling problem and all three of them had the same problem faxing.

First problem:
Let's begin with the faxing problem. When entering a fax number using the printer's keypad it would not accept a "pause" in the sequence of numbers when dialing with a phone card. I called HP support and the said they were aware a few of these printers had this problem but three out of three!

Second problem:
Each printer had different paper handling problems!
With standard letter size paper I would get a "paper to narrow" error message and the message would not clear until I turned off the printer. One printer would intermittently error out with an "empty paper tray" message even with varying amounts of paper in the input tray! Two of the printers would paper jam after printing less than 10 pages. I thought the paper feed problem might be due to my paper so when I returned the printers to the stores where I purchased them they were able to duplicate these same problems.
One of the store technicians said this printer model has a very high return rate

Conclusion:
After wasting hours of my time I finally gave up on this HP printer (and HP in general). I then consulted a consumer magazine for just an inkjet printer and I bought a Canon i550 which is their top rated printer. Tip: When deciding on a printer, to buy, also consider the cost of printing. HP uses small inkjet cartridges The Canon i550 printing cost is nearly half the printing cost of this HP printer. Buy the way, the i550 worked perfectly out of the box, no problems and the Canon printer drivers are more modern than HP's printer drivers! I hope you find this information helpful.

Summary: This is the worst printer I ever owned!
Review: This printer constantly has paper jams, which are easy to clear but quite a nuisance. For every 10 page document I print, I have to get at least 3 of them out of a jam, and then go back and reprint those pages. Also, it's the slowest printer on earth! Even when I switch it to black ink only, low ink drying time, etc., it still is like molasses. I have had unbelievably bad luck with HP, so maybe it's just me.

Summary: Dell 8200 with XP BEWARE!!!!
Review: I bought the HP 2210xi all in one and it was a nightmare to use. It never installed properly. The software went OK but the hardware never recognized. When I contacted HP support via a non-(800) number, they were unable to assist me after an hour and forty-five minutes. Another friend purchased this same product and had similiar problems but eventually got the printer to work. However, there is a constant warning icon on the taskbar that never goes away and the "safely uninstall hardware" icon is constantly present. Under device manager the "?" icon is present. She, too, uses a Dell 8200 with XP. HP believes there is either a problem with the Dell chipset or the inability of XP to allow their software to write to the registry. I have tried all the patches and updates and re-configured the registry but to no avail. I am quite computer savvy and yet this product's installation (which has a very user friendly and easy to understand setup guide) eludes me. Sounds like a great purchase for the money and decent specs. but not fully compatible with a Dell 8200 running XP Home Edition. The customer support did try their best and apologized but this was a long distance and quite expensive phone call. Just BEWARE before you purchase. If you do a search for this product on Google's newsgroups (which I should have done before my purchase) you will see that many other people had this same problem and never resolved it, either thru contacting Microsoft, HP, Dell or all. I am still looking to purchase an all in one and I am open to any suggestions.

Summary: Shockingly Good
Review: My impression of "all-in-one" devices was that they did everything 'OK' but nothing really that good. I've been extremely happy with the 2210 in that it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I'm running it with Mac OS X, the printer gives great results on documents, and digital photos look quite good as well. I've done a few test scans and was shocked at how good the results were. Fax and copier.....great stuff, in fact I had a hard time believing my eyes when I did the first couple color copies on this unit. And the ability to put my Digital Photo media cards into the printer, print out a "contact sheet" of all images on the card, then mark the images I want to print out full size, place the sheet back in to be scanned and then have the desired images pop out of the printer.....great stuff. I saw a few negative reviews before buying this and almost backed off; specifically comments about paper jams...I've used it daily for the past two months and have yet to have a jam. I'm glad I saw past those complaints and grabbed it.

Summary: Impressive little printer (and scanner, copier, fax)
Review: I bought this a week ago, and am blown away. The printout pictures are incredibly sharp. It is quiet and fast. Text looks much sharper than my old Epson Stylus Photo. I've never had a problem with an HP printer, and so far this one has not disappointed me one bit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great value at twice the price.
Review: This is by far the best All-in-One for the home on the market today. Since buying it, I've stopped printing digital photos from my PC - the memory card reader and Proof Sheet function just makes it too easy to print directly from the camera - any digital camera.

The photo quality using 4 inks is great - it's all I usually use. Buying the optional photo cartridge to make it a 6-ink printer makes the print quality indistinguishable from film prints as well as any other printer on the market.

Summary: HP psc 2210 All-In-One
Review: Have owned this machine for one month and I could not be happier. It is tremendous high quality in every respect. I would recommend this machine for anyone who has a need to print high-quality color photos and any other color images. Bravo HP!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HP got it right
Review: Every feature of this machine seems to be fine tuned. The faxes we receive look like a laser print. The text comes out clearer than my xxxxx laser printer. The card reader is at least 20 times faster than the serial cable that came with my Olympus digital camera. Scanning is fast, clear, and easy to set up. The printing software is intuitive and easy to use (but basic). Sending multi-page faxes is easy. I really feel that I got a lot for a very decent price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy this printer
Review: I'm embarrassed to say how many ink-jet printers I have been through over the years. I even bought a Tektronics (Xerox) Phaser laser color printer since I was so disappointed with my purchases.

Browsing through printer depts., I happened to hit the demo button on the PCS 2110 and was very impressed by what I saw. I then placed a glossy brochure on the scan bed of a series of printers and the 2210 was by far the most realistic in reproduction. Then I looked at the price and dropped my jaw.

A truly great and inexpensive printer. Glossy photos look like they came from a photo lab. Even small envelops feed without trouble. Insert a memory card and print a proof sheet and you can check what you want printed and the printer reads your choices back in through the scan bed. Clever!

A printer that automatically aligns itself? Brilliant!

I don't work for HP or own their stock. Simply an honest review of the last printer you'll need to buy. No regrets!
