HP Deskjet printer buying guide

Usually, laser printers are good for rapid, black and white print jobs. If you do not need to efficiently print a lot of black and white jobs, then I would go with one of several alternatives: a printer that prints high-quality AND grayscale images at a reasonable pace and which can be bought for an affordable price, an inkjet printer. The term “deskjet” is just a proprietary name invented by HP with the intention of being associated with Inkjet technology printing. If you want very high-quality, color images that are produced in a continous tone, then probably, you would want a dye-sublimation printer, which are becoming more and more affordable.
Since you are intending to use a printer for a short period of time, I would go with an inkjet printer; it will be able to print high-quality images in color AND in grayscale. I would recommend either an HP Deskjet series printer or, if you have money to squander, an HP Photosmart series printer. Usually, laser printers that print in color are quite expensive, but you may be able to find one for around the same price as an HP Photosmart printer, which are probably the best Inkjet printers on the market. Also, the HP Photosmart printers have many more capabilities than a stand alone color printer.
It all comes down to what you want to spend and whether or not you need a printer for color, black/white, and/or grayscale print jobs. A laser printer would be more for dedicated use and for rapid print jobs, but you only need a printer for a short period of time. If you want to do black and white print jobs, then buy a cheap laser printer; you can find some for under one hundred dollars. If you want high quality color print jobs for a cheap price, then go with an HP Deskjet printer; laser printers that print high quality, color jobs are expensive.

Hi i have a hp photosmart all-in-one printer. is the scanner really that poor or it’s just because i tried to scan something pencil? can i change the setting or something?

My printer is an HP Photosmart 3210. I’ve calibrated, cleaned the ink heads, and made every possible maintenance to the printer. Ran the tests and they come out good.
When I try to print a picture, the picture prints out much darker than it appears on the screen.
Any ideas?

Ok, I dunno why the ink number for my printer is the most expensive out there. I have an HP PSC 2410 Photosmart All-in-One printer and it takes a 57 tricolor ink and a 56/58 black ink. When i go to buy ink the black is a pretty reasonable $20 or less but the color is like $35 everywhere i go!!
That’s really expensive, so I was wondering if I buy a different number color ink (same brand) for my printer, will it fit and work just as well? Or will there be minor/major glitches? Does it really matter if I use a different number than I’m supposed to?

Is their any way I can fix this myself? the area directly under the screen saying this is broken, but that’s the only sign that anything is wrong with it that i can actually see. It is a HP Photosmart C4599 wireless printer.
