Summary: Nothing but probs
Review: This is the only printer I've ever had but I've had it for two years now without a single problem so I guess it's safe to say that the durability factor is up to par. The quality of color pictures print out with amazing clarity and the black ink hardly ever smears. My only complaint about the Hewlett Packard Deskjet 612c is how expensive the ink cartilages are compared to other more luxurious printers. I'm hardly complaining, though, because the price of this and the quality that comes with it is overall a very good deal. You'll definitely get your money's worth with this machine and I wouldn't trade it for any other... At least for this price.

Summary: Consumer friendly
Review: This printer was extremely easy to set up. In fact I needed to download the drivers from the internet because the computer it is working with has no cd rom drive, and was a bit skeptical about the outcome. The whole process, from getting the drivers from the HP internet site, to installing them, and setting up the printer was really smooth. Hell, my husband could have done it! (just kidding, dear) Color is fine also-it all depends on what your requirements are. For us it is all we need, and it beats the Canon products hands down. I am giving it four stars because I have not seen yet how long the cartridges last. Also buy the extra year warranty for 10.00 dollars. HP has a long-standing reputation for business computers and peripherals.

Summary: Hope It Doesn't Break
Review: We have had excellent success with this printer. It has proven reliable and the quality has been impressive. My brother even e-mailed some photos he took in the Egypt with his digital camera. We printed them out using the 612C with surprising results for an Inkjet.My only word of warning is from my experience with HP's warranty support. When having to call upon them to fulfill a warranty on another product, it turned into a nightmare. They argued about the problem, finally had me send the product to their repair facility where it sat unrepaired for over a month. It took two more phone calls to get any results, and even now I am still waiting for the return of the repaired product. For the price, I would say this printer is a good addition to your home or office, as long as it never breaks.
