Summary: hp almost scores a cigar.
Review: If it wasn't for it's noisy operation, especially before and after an operation, the hp officejet d135 is quite an impressive machine. I'm running this machine for document management using a software program from Scansoft called Paperport 8.0. Wow! the performance is superb! However, if you can afford to go the extra [$$$] or so, buy the hp officejet d145. For all of the extra functionality you get, the extra bucks are well worth it. Oh, and just to let you know, I have utilized every function, scan-fax-copy-print, and each produced consistent operation.

Summary: Awesome printer!
Review: My Brother laser printer that is a little more than 1 year old died on me. That was the first and last non-HP printer I will ever buy. My Epson scanner had buggy software and I rarely used to as I intended to. The HP OfficeJet d135 works right out of the box exactly as it promises! It scans, faxes, and prints with ease. It is also very quick. Inkjets have come a long way since the DeskJet 500 that was my first printer. This printer's output is suitable for business correspondence. The color output is phenomenal. I would highly encourage anyone looking to replace a printer and a scanner with this device. No hassles whatsoever. I'm running Windows ME on a P3 1Ghz, 256mb ram.

Summary: Patience is a Virtue
Review: My father bought this printer because he found it at a great price. I've been an Epson lady for many years but it was worth the cost (for the most part). HOWEVER, I sent a command to print out something from Amazon.com's website (a rebate). I was trying to print out 2 copies. Copy #2 is still in the process of being printed. (It starts, then stops, then starts, then stops. You get the picture.) I printed out a single copy each from my other printers (Epsons, yes, I do have 3 printers hooked up to one PC- :-0 ). The ink is already dried on the other two printouts and I've given birth..lol..just kidding. This has got to be the slowest printer when it comes to printing commands. Warming up? I don't see how that can be the problem. Too many printers? Then why are the other two printing with no problem. Maybe this type of system is slow because it's juggling too many functions on one piece of equipment (faxing, printing, copying and scanning).I also got to experience the same challenges I face at work when dealing with a copier: paper jams. I had to get online to find a solution to the problem. Thank goodness I have the ability to do this and a fast internet hook-up (cable modem). I have to add that the speed improves when it comes to copying. This function is much quicker than my other scanners. When I do get it to print, the quality is good. I don't believe it when they say they tried to help customers save money on ink by separating the heads from the ink supply...the ink is more expensive than my Epson 785EPX. I can only be grateful that I don't use this every single day on a consistent basis. If you need an "all-in-one" setup, shop around. PS: If you can tell me why it prints out a little happy face (therefore wasting paper) when I turn it on and print something out for the first time...I'll be your friend for life!

Summary: COPY LEGAL SIZE PAPER
Review: Our machine will not COPY information on legal size paper to legal size paper. It copies letter size information only. Hence result is a legal size piece of paper with three quarters of the necessary information on it.
As our guide book for this machine has been misplaced I would appreciate it if someone would please inform me the steps to obtain perform this information. Been unsuccessful in obtaining another booklet.

Summary: Lousy Customer Service Sours O.K. Machine
Review: Out of the box, this piece of junk spent almost two hours "initializing," which seemed a BIT excessive give the literature provided, but I could easily have spent even LONGER on hold with HP's customer service line, which isn't even a toll free number! Hopefully if you buy this device it'll work right out of the box for you, otherwise you're screwed.

Summary: This machine will be great when the bugs are fixed
Review: The concept/design of this machine is absolutely brilliant. However, I believe HP released it before it was quite ready for prime time. Many of the issues have been documented in other reviews, so I won't repeat them here, but thought you might be interested in a conversation I had with local BestBuy tech person the other day. I noticed that they didn't have a D135 on display and casually inquired about their experience with it. He said that overall it was good but they were getting a lot of returns because the print heads are wearing out a LOT sooner than they should according to spec. He said it looks like a manufacturing problem that they will hopefully have fixed soon.

Summary: UNAVAILABLE FUNCTIONALITY UNDER XP
Review: The Hewlitt Packard Officejet D135 multifunction printer is advertised as a two-sided printing/copying and scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). However, this is NOT the case. 1. Two-sided printing/copying requires a (C6437A) duplexer, which I have been unable to obtain. I Emailed HP about this and received the following replies: "I understand that you are disappointed with the inability to use OCR and make two-sided prints and copies from the Officejet D135 installed on Windows XP. The duplexer required for making two-sided prints and copies is not currently available." And, in another Email from HP: "Unfortunately, I [HP] am unable to provide a date on which the duplex module (C6437A) will be in stock. I apologize for the inconvenience." 2. If you have the Windows XP operating system, full functionality is NOT available. In yet another Email to me, HP states: "The software solution provides basic printing and scanning functionality with Microsoft (R) Windows XP. Scanning is supported through the Scanner and Camera Wizard in Windows XP. Use the HP Officejet front panel to copy, fax, and use proof sheets. The future HP Officejet D series software release for Windows XP, will provide the following functionality: * Network capability
* Photo upload from the HP Officejet to the PC
* Access to copy and fax features from the PC
* Use of the Fax Setup Wizard
* Ability to set scan to destinations
* ReadIRIS optical character recognition (OCR) software.
* HP Director software, HP Photo View Center, onscreen Users Guide, and Product Tour." Later on, in the SAME Email, HP states: "Third-party software The optical character recognition (OCR)program that is currently available on the HP product software CD-ROM cannot be loaded in Windows XP. The OCR software is provided by another company [IRIS] and will not be available in the download versions of the HP software release for Windows XP. HP does not hold the rights to this software and cannot include it with the HP product software available for download." Thus, it appears that HP has no idea when the duplexer hardware will be available, so I paid hundreds of dollars for a printer that I have no idea when, if ever, I will be able to perform two-sided print/copy. Also, I have a scanner with no OCR included (though it is with other Windows operating systems). I find it hard to believe that HP could so brazenly claim this as a two-sided printer/copier and so stretch the meaning of XP compatibility. I you want to have only basic print/scan/copy capabilities, buy the Lexmark X83 for only a few hundred dollars.

Summary: Great printer for the money
Review: The HP d135 is a wonderful printer. It has everything a home office needs. It prints, faxes, copies and scans as well as any moderately priced, separate copier, fax machine, printer or scanner. The front panel is intuitively designed. It even has cool features that allow you to print or copy multiple pages on 1 sheet, or reduce/enlarge photos or copies effortlessly. I also like the automatic document feeder. The best part of the printer is that it's fast. I generally use the "fast" setting because it saves time and ink. This is, by far, the best multifunction machine on the market. And, of course, it's an HP. I only gave the printer four stars because the machine is loud and the CD-ROM that came with my machine was corrupt, so I had to download the driver from the HP website. Otherwise, setting up the printer was no problem. I also think it should come with a USB cable (you have to buy it separately). A machine that does everything should include everything you need in the box to hook it up. NOTE: If you do a lot of two-sided printing, you should consider the HP d145 or d125. Or you can purchase the two-sided printer accessory separately. ADDENDUM - I had to exchange my first d135 printer because it was leaving streaks on the page and it was putting large yellow drops on the pages. Because of this, I downgraded this printer to 3 stars. Hopefully, this new printer will work better.

Summary: I was happy with it for about 2 months until ..
Review: things starting breaking. It constantly displays "scanner failure" message that prevents the copier from working... just for printing and fax working correctly, it's way too expensive. I see that many other users are having similar problems. It means that some obvious feautures did not go through QA. It makes sense since my HP laptop misbehaves in the same way. I think I'll stay away from HP products until I hear some better reviews.

Summary: Great All In One - Very Good Quality Printer
Review: This is the workhorse in our home office. Its used for printing, scanning, copying and faxing and does all very well.
Easy to use and quiet!
The print quality on this HP is great for the price and age.
I dont know why the negative reviews but will chalk them up to people who expect more than they pay for and or dont know how to setup their machines.
This one has worked great out of the box for a year now.
Highly recommended.
