Summary: Excellent on W2000 notebooks
Review: 2 printers have worked interchangeably with 2 Dell W2000 Pro notebooks. No problems, great quality, despite being lugged around from hotel to hotel like portables. Prompt deliver, dirt cheap.

Summary: Solid light-use printer
Review: HP has made a solid printer for light home use in the 825c.
HP based this bargain printer on the bones of the sturdy, albeit older, 800 series. This is a real advantage, because you take advantage of HP's paid-for tooling on a formerly higher-priced series. You get a printer that's more solidly built than comparable entry-level printers, but the tradeoff is that you don't get the latest printing technology advances. This printer is best for printing text and light graphics. It prints photos, as well, although probably not as well as a printer with the latest technologies. The 825c is easy to install -- I had it running in minutes on my decrepit, 1997-vintage, Windows 98 PC. Its paper delivery system is sure and straight. Text is crisp. Colors are adequate. I expect that this little printer will outlast not only my current PC, but my next one as well.

Summary: Great Printer!!! Cheap!!! Perfect for students!!!
Review: I bought my 825c printer for a really good price, about half the average cost of printers. The best thing about the deal is that it even included ink cartridges! (Which ironically cost the same price as the printer itself) Over the years, it has been a great, hassle-free, beautiful looking printer, and has graciously accepted ink refills (instead of having to buy more of those outlandishly expensive printer cartridges). Of course, the occasional printer jam is inevitable for all printers, but those have been minimal for me. Surely the quality is nowhere near photo quality, but for reports and papers, it works just fine. My hp 825c is one of my best purchases since I got to college.

Summary: Reliable
Review: I bought this printer for my son's new computer which runs XP. No problem loading the software, no paper jams, no problems at all. For [the money]including the USB cable. I am still using an HP Deskjet 540 that I bought with my Packard Bell Pentium 75mHz over 6 - 8 years ago. The PB is gone, but the HP lives on and on and on. That's says a lot. New print heads with each cartridge I think is the way to go. Will use 825 mostly for text, but having printed a photo, it compares fairly well with my Epson 780 with glossy paper.

Summary: Blue Color
Review: I didn't like installing this printer at all. It was recommended above the Lexmark I use at work and was looking to buy, by the sales person and I should have gone with the Lexmark. The first time it didn't install and when I tried to remedy the problem, following the directions exactly, it crashed my entire system. It took me 3 days and a lot of time with the tech to correct the problem and I am still having errors. Maybe it's because I run Windows ME but this printer has been a complete disaster. I also don't like the color quality. It reads color much darker than what's on the screen and everything has a very blue tint. I will be replacing this printer as soon as I can with a Lexmark.

Summary: Constant paper jams
Review: I had no expectations for print quality with a printer at this price, but expected something that worked. EVERY attempt to print either jammed the printer or ripped the paper. I attempted to print with newly opened reams ranging from low end generic copy paper to Epson photo paper with consistent results. If you do decide to buy, 1) ensure the store will accept returns, and 2) be prepared to pay return shipping.

Review: This printer has not caused my any troubles to this date. It's a quality little printer, as all HP products tend to be. The quality is good, but not great. This is an ideal printer for the casual user at home or office. The connection is USB, so the setup was easy. This printer also works well on my home network. If you need a good quality printer at a good price, the deskjet 825c would be an excellent choice.
