Summary: Glad it is being discontinued, didn't last past 6 months
Review:
I am glad there will be no more victims of this printer. Although the printer prints exceptionally well for the price and has a wonderful light weight feel to it, there is a strong chance it won't last you 6 months even with minimal usage. Many people complain the printer broke on them, this and the similar light weight models. It seems a little piece inside of the printer wears and breaks off in no time. These printers are said to have a "light weight technology" more like cheap plastic technology to me. I went through 2 of these printers and similar in one year, first the 3420 and then the 3320 which did the same thing in less than 6 months. I don't do much printing and reading these reviews I realized it's not the users fault. HP is a great brand when it comes to printers, however, I suggest you go with a much higher up printer that will give you your monies worth.

Summary: Don't waste your money ... buy a better printer
Review: After a six months of relatively light use (printing a paper every now and then), the ink cartridge doesn't move anymore. It's better to go ahead and buy a more expensive printer instead of having to replace the cheap ones every few months or so.

Summary: hp deskjet only worked for 5 months!
Review: After just five months, the printer spit out bits of parts. I called hp customer service and they offered to replace it for [more money than the original purchase price] + postage... But no matter what I paid for it, I expect a new product to last more than five months.

Summary: HP Printers Rock
Review: After owning a black & white inkjet by HP for years, I bought an Epson color printer... Big mistake. In addition to being noisy, the software kept track of the ink levels and you couldn't change it until the software told you you were out of ink. I'd have to trick it by unplugging it when the ink cartridges were in the small space available for changing. So after a few years of suffering with the Epson, I swore that I'd go back to HP.I also use a HP laserjet at work and it's performed reliably for quite a few years, and is still going strong. So I was comparing HP printers. The higher the price, the faster the printer & some have special photo features, but I didn't need that, I just needed a solid printer for my occasional printing needs. I had one printer jam since I started recieved this printer, but the back panel comes off for easy removal of any stuck paper. It has an envelope guide, but you have to remove the paper to use it... no big deal. This printer is about the size of a roll of paper towels when it's folded up, and the paper goes pretty far back into it, so with paper it's it only adds around 6 inches to it. It's quiet, which is very nice. And unlike the epson, the ink levels shown on the screen are "estimates only" and any time you open the top, the ink cartridges pop into view. Yay! Draft mode prints very good looking, very readable black and decent looking color. My girlfriend didn't even know it was in draft mode when I showed her a page, though she did comment on the colors not being as nice as they could be. I have no reason to switch it off of draft mode, unless I'm printing documents I want to give to someone or something I want to archive. I just wish I could switch to "black only draft mode." It would've been nice to conserve the color ink when printing web pages that I only needed to keep around for a few days, but at $17 and $21 for ink cartridges (bw & color), ink isn't expensive. The software that comes with the printer aligns the printer so it knows where the edge of the paper is, and makes sure that when it switches from color to black & white the lines are straight. Basically it prints a bunch of lines and you tell it which ones are straight or close to the edge of the page without going over it. This may be difficult to do if you have bad vision, but the middle settings are the ones that worked for me, and the middle settings will probably work for 99% of the printers out there. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, and I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on features I don't need. I hope to own this printer for many years to come.

Summary: Trashed & Forgotten within 6-Months, Drink INK to Last Gasp!
Review: Aside from HP Computers--practically anyone is probably imagining their next system...of entirely different make, or indpendent and constructed to personal need and taste.
Accordingly, hp deskjet 3320 (as noted in probably most reviews) uses 'heavily'...'drinks'...'gulps'...'sucks as an ultimate ferocious perfect natural vacuum and/or Black Hole'..!
In all in every conceivable way, it 'sucks' all things, and it's trash within a year if that. Since hp ever marketed this, run screaming and flailing to Canon or EVEN Lexmark...hp 3320 (and hp!) is just that bad for quality and economy that can even last beyond 6-months! Buy only for several $ in a flea-market! (When/If you DO use this printer, watch in amazement as it gasps/gulps/engulfs any ink cartridge dramatically per any/all prints!) This item sucks so very bad...~! ; P

Summary: Windows 95?
Review: Be careful of this printer if you have not yet upgraded to Windows 98 or later versions. As of today - Jan 2, 2003 - HP does not provide a driver for Windows 95 - either on the disk provided with the printer or on their web site.

Summary: Very Poorly Constructed
Review: Garbage - My printer broke after 3 months, the same problem with the printer head coming off the belt. Since this time I have had two replacements which both suffered the same fate. One after only TWO DAYS of use. I am appalled that such a poor product can be legally sold.

Summary: Cheaply priced, Cheaply Constructed, Ink Hog.
Review: Having used HP Printers for many years, I assumed the quality of their past products would speak for itself. WRONG. I had the same problem another reviewer mentioned, "the printer head assembly (the part that holds the ink cartridges) broke & would not move any more." This occured 5 DAYS after the warranty expired. And in the three short months I used it, I also purchased at *least* three times as many ink cartridges as I've ever had to purchase for any other printer in a similar time frame. A very bad buy on my part, so I'm waiting for my Lexmark Printer/copier/scanner to arrive, while I use my daughter's THREE YEAR OLD Lexmark that still works great.

Summary: Breaks easily / expensive print cartridges
Review: I bought 4 of these less than a year ago. Two have already died. The plastic print head mechanism breaks, makes a horrendous noise, then spits out broken plastic parts. The printers had light use, black only. Black cartridges only have abour a 220 page life. In addition the Print driver for windows XP is buggy. About once a week it crashes and requires a reboot. I'm not crying as the printer was ultracheap to begin with, in this case you really do get what you pay for! Note that I have other models of HP printers which are superb.

Summary: A piece of junk after 6 months
Review: I bought one of these new for my office so that any sensitive documents I print don't have to be fetched from a public printer. I printed maybe 50 pages on it over half of a year before it broke. Now it just makes a horrible loud ratcheting sound when I turn it on. It appears to be the same problem as described in other reviews. Buy something else. HP: Kill this product now.
