HP Keeps On Putting Out A Great Product!

by sweetsue_98 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 08 '01
Pros: You can always fine HP to be a reliable product.
Cons: None, maybe a little slow, but for the price it is just fine.
With my many purchases of printers, I still seem to go back to be the most satisfied with the Hewlett Packard product. My first printer was a HP 600C, then a HP 610C, and now the 842C which I will be writing this review about. Also, I have owned three...

HP DeskJet 842C-This Is Personal

by PhoenixFlight Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 17 '00
Pros: Color Layering Technology
Cons: Low Speeds
The compact design of the HP Deskjet 842C makes it a perfect personal printer with heavy emphasis on the word personal. If you are looking for a printer for your office it would be my suggestion that you cease reading this opinion and move on to...

Quality printer at an inexpensive price.

by mharward1 , Aug 28 '01
Pros: Great quality, especially for the price; easy to operate.
Cons: Slow print speed, expensive replacement cartridges.
Looking for a decent printer for less than $100 was supposed to be a chore. Then I found the HP DeskJet 842C at Office Depot for $80 (well, after a $30 rebate, anyway). I own several other Hewlett Packard products (calculators, laptops, etc) and so have...

HP DeskJet 842C: Good little printer

by barbtaha , Jun 04 '01
Pros: A Reliable printer; Inexpensive
Cons: Can be SLOW; You have to buy your cables, which adds to the cost
I swore that I would never, ever again purchase an HP printer!! I had previously owned 2 HP printers, and both of them died prematurely. However, I am quite pleasantly surprised with the quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness of my little HP...

Good Quality, Average Performance

by donnamr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 10 '01
Pros: Quality of print, ease of use
Cons: Slower than average speed, paper jams
The HP 842C is a great little printer for professional looking letters and small volume jobs. Beyond that, it has some drawbacks and should not be expected to be a workhorse.

The print quality is very good. Output such as letters or color...

Kludgy USB, but otherwise flawless

by gdtoddler , Aug 27 '01
Pros: Great photographic output, very good price.
Cons: USB functionality does not initialize properly
About a year ago, I had an HP-DJ712C which worked very well, but I wanted USB connectivity to improve graphic transfer/print speed. I immediately chose the 840C for this (same hardware as the 842C).

The graphic (and text) output of this...

Excellent Printer but the Ink Cartridges are Expensive

by mustpar65 , Aug 27 '00
Pros: Affordable, Excellent Quality Output, Does not jam
Cons: Expensive Ink Cartridges, Short (90 day) Warranty
The facts, just the facts…

The 842C is the second offering in HP's 840 Series of color inkjet printers. It has a maximum resolution of 1200 DPI (Dots Per Inch). In theory it can print up to 8 PPM (pages per minute) in black and 5 PPM in color....

Good Printer ... Low Price

by HNAC , Jul 18 '00
Pros: Excellent print quality; easy to install; very inexpensive
Cons: Jams a lot; jams are difficult to re-start
If you are looking for a decent, inexpensive printer for occasional use, this is the one for you. We bought this printer about a month ago to replace another HP inkjet printer. We were in a bind and didn't have much time to research printers, so we...

Solid Printer

by mjgreene550 , Jul 06 '01
Pros: Fast black & white and color text, Dual cartridge holder
Cons: Uses the color cartridge to make black ink, didn't come with any cables
I'd have to say that this printer is perfect for what I use it for (printing my papers at college). I've never had a paper jam or any other malfunction.

The instructions that come with the printer are extremely clear and easy to understand....

Solid Performer Will Round Out Your Home Setup

by wadesam , Dec 05 '00
Pros: Quality text and photo images
Cons: No cable included, and speed is not especially impressive
This Jack-Of-All-Trades-Master-Of-None printer will be a welcome addition to almost anyone's home computer. It does all the routine tasks exceedingly well and can even put on the ritz to a certain extent when called upon.

by ronc27 , Mar 05 '01
Pros: New low price. Quality product
Cons: As with all printers, the ink cartridges are expensive.
Well I have had a HP660Cse for quite a few years now and it had been a wonderful printer for me all this time, unfortunately it has reached the end of it's life.

Needing a new printer, I searched the internet and looked at the sales at Best...

Well, I needed a new printer, because my canon just wasn't cutting it. When i bought my first computer (ok, mummsy bought it), We bought a canon bubble jet system, for around 200 dollars. It was an ok printer, but when you're new, you don't know what's...

Anther great HP printer

by datagirl7 , Mar 31 '01
Pros: Great quality printing, you can trust HP
Cons: a bit large, cartridges are expensive, incredibly slow, all colors together
I had gotten DeskJet500C about 10 years ago. It served me well, but I wanted something that was faster and better dpi. So 2 years ago I bought another manufacturer's laser printer. The thing already died. So I decided to go back to the HP quality I...

You Have To Love HP before You Love It

by howi , May 12 '01
Pros: Low Initial Cost; Front Loading;
Cons: High Operating Cost; Average Resolution; Slow
To me, Hewlett Packard is a religion. I believe in its products, technologies and quality, especially to its medical, scientific instrument. Literally, you can keep using most HP products as long as you live! However, you need to invest a bit more -...
