Rating: Summary: THIS PRINTER IS NO GOOD!!! READ!!! Review: I previously liked this printer for its fine quality prints and long-lasting cartridges. However, as soon as the warranty period expired, so did the printer. It's only 5 months old and now it only prints everything in shades of purple. I changed cartridges, reinstalled the software, and so on, and nothing helped. One printing, everything was in glorious living color. The next, everything was in shades of pink-mauve-blech. AVOID THIS PRINTER!
Rating: Summary: Quick and easy! Review: I purchased this to upgrade from my Lexmark 1100 printer[a dinosaur compared to the HP 920]. Set-up was quick and easy. Instructions appear right on your monitor screen so you can actually see what goes where. And my old Lexmark printer cable fit so I didn't have to purchase a new one. I was ready to print within 10 minutes. The HP 920c prints clear and quickly. It is also a very quiet machine. I am very happy with it!
Rating: Summary: HP 920C printer Review: I read the other reviews and bought a HP 920C printer with reluctance since two HP 600 series printers each broke down in less than a year without using them much. Would the printer work with Windows 95? Will I end up upgrading the whole system before I would otherwise need to upgrade?The only problem was that a setting (Raw Spool-whatever that is) needed to be changed. Instructions popped up, were easy to follow, and worked. The print has a clean sharp appearance. Ink dries instantly. It's quick and quiet and priced right. This dinosaur system isn't extinct yet. The printer works fine with Windows 95. I haven't had to upgrade yet.
Rating: Summary: It does the job! Review: I was looking for an inexpensive printer for my 19 year old to take to college for printing term papers, etc. Having just begun to use a digital camera the HP 920c caught my eye because of its ability to print photo quality images. The price was also right. I decided to try it out and I am really impressed with the results. It was easy to install (with my son's assistance, of course,) and my photos were as good as the ones I paid for. I have decided to keep this printer at home and send our old Deskjet 682c to school with my son. Now we're both happy. My only caveat is that with the cost of paper and ink cartridges and my time (this printer is not ultra fast) its still cheaper to send out for my digital prints, but there's more immediate gratification and more fun if I do it myself.

Rating: Summary: Well worth the price! Review: I've been using a Canon BJC-250 for the past 5 years. I go Windows XP and the Canon doesn't work anymore. I was forced to buy a new printer. I saw the DPI resolution on this printer, which is the same as any other printer costing much more than this one. This was a tremendous change for me! I have never seen a better image come out of a printer in my life! Very detailed, very flowing. There are some exceptions to the printing. Buildings that are smaller can actually look blotchy on the photo paper, while water turns out perfect. Also, when printing out multiple pages, I've had the printer actually jam quite a few times. I've used maybe 20 pieces of paper, and 4 have jammed, two of them in a row. Other than these incidents, it does turn out to be a very worthy printer for the price. It is XP compatible and can be hooked up with the computer still on. You are not forced to buy the USB cable. If you already have a cable for your LPT Printer port, it will work also. I am using the LPT port. The printer is also quite large for what I'm used to (see dimensions). Make sure you'll have enough room for it on your desk. Paper loads from the bottom, not the top like my old printer, and can hold up to 100 sheets. This makes it easier than having to constantly reload the darn thing. After a few weeks, the jamming has stopped. Maybe the printer just needed to be broke in. You must install both ink cartridges with this printer (black and color). This is also new to me, with the Canon I had to constantly change cartridges; another perk from HP. The printer also takes quite a while to "warm up." Instead of just hitting the print button and watching it print, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes (depending on how long it has sat idle) to warm up before printing. It is quite loud when warming up and loading the first sheet of paper. After the first sheet is loaded, it's *amazingly* quiet. (Remember, I used to have a 1998 Canon! This is super cool by my standards!) The speed is something to be proud of, as well. Although warm up time can take a little bit longer, after it gets going, it's running very well! A nice high DPI photograph can take up to 1 minute to print at about 800dpi. I haven't tried it any higher yet. Black pages... maybe 10 seconds, if even that!! I changed my rating from 4 stars (on March 17) to 5 stars (on March 21) because the paper jams have stopped. Don't think you need a new printer? For this price, you deserve one anyways! Order one now!
Rating: Summary: Can't Beat It for the Price Review: If your one of those people still struggling with a 5 year old printer, you'd be CRAZY not to pick this one up. It's a GREAT printer at a GREAT price. I couldn't be more pleased with it. I initially bought it to print out papers for college, but ended up using it almost every day. The speed is what makes it so useful. It's no longer a pain to print a screen from a website, or an receipt from an online order. This thing is QUICK. It's also Hewlett Packard, so your getting a brand name printer at a generic price. Highly Recommended. Good luck and take care.
Rating: Summary: Great Printer for Students Review: My old clunker died a few weeks ago and I needed a replacement fast. Boy, am I glad I found the Deskjet 920. It's at a great price for those on a student's budget, ad you will not be disappointed by its performance. I was pleasantly surprised by its speed and resolution. Printing off the web is slow, but tolerable. All around, a great buy for anyone who is not routinely printing out Russian novels. You can't go wrong with a HP.
