Hewlett Packard Photosmart C6280 All-In-One InkJet Printer

I have had a few HP printers in the past with good results although the ink has been expensive. When looking for a new printer, I was really wanting a network capable printer to avoid having to do printer sharing which requires leaving one PC on all the time on my network. This printer has separate ink wells which I liked on my previous Canon printer.

The printer has been awful from the beginning. The drivers are extremely heavy, taking about 20 minutes to install. The drivers prevented my Mac from going into sleep mode, and caused the fans to spool up to max periodically. Doing any kind of scan is difficult. Power saving mode doesn't start for a long time.

But the biggest complaint is that I constantly have problems with the most basic thing: printing. I have to send prints repeatedly. Or, I often get the dreaded 0x.... error, which requires a convoluted procedure to clear that online support provided - from India.

I'm considering junking this printer which I've only had for 3 months and getting a basic non-networked printer.

So much for HP quality.
