HP DESKJET 950

Summary: "Surprisingly Good!" (Replaced by # 2110, but very similar)
Review: I have owned ONLY HP printers, and bought this one at a Thanksgiving sale because it was cheap. I was surprised at how much I've come to enjoy this little mighty-might!

It prints every bit as well as my stand-alone HP 952C, and about as fast. But it's the scanning, copying and faxing that are really cool.

Copies at 'normal' and 'best' are all but stunning. (Try a dollar bill!) Scanning OCR software is POOR, however. If you want the real thing, get a good OCR disk such as Omni Page Pro, and it's a breeze! And the fax machine? Well, I never thought I'd need it, but I've used it and loved it! The machine will even use the one line your phone is on, and NOT tie it up! Coolâ€"fax and phone on the same line!

Lastly, the card readers that are built into the unit enabling you to load from any digital camera and print a test sheet while bypassing your computer. I haven't used this, but I will.

All in all, the HP 950 is the HP 750 with a fax machine and card reader. It prints and copies wonderfully, and scans photos much better than text. It also has every fine-tuning feature you could possibly want, and seems to paper-jam LESS than any HP I’ve owned--even using cheap copy paper!

Though replaced with the 2110 series, if you can find it at the price I did, BUY IT!
