Printer HP F4280
We bought two of these to replace two HP PSC 1610's three wks ago - so far so good. The PSC's worked for us for 3-4 yrs and by now they both sounded too tired and ready to die.
Ink cartridges: Buy the "XL" versions stands for extra large I guess. Better price per page and less trips to the store.
Installation: A breeze. For the ones who had problems: FOLLOW THE EXACT DIRECTIONS not what YOU think is the right way :-) BTW if I thought the installation of the PSC 1610 was long...this one is REALLY long. Was it an hour? Or it seems it was.
The HP F4280 is a lot quieter than the PSC 1610 and reasonably fast. Except at the printing start: For some reason after you hit "Print" it takes 3-5 seconds of "Nothing is Happening". Can this silly problem be corrected?? I ended up with some duplicate documents but now I know better.
Save ink and time: Set your default at "Fast Draft" - it makes a very respectable copy at that setting.
Scanning: I think it is a little faster than the PSC 1610 and at the default setting of 200dpi the results are very good. I tried the 600dpi slight difference on the monitor but I'm sure it makes a better printed copy.
OVERALL: A great printer for the price.
