Hewlett Packard OfficeJet k80xi Inkjet Printer

Pros: Excellent printer, faxes, scans, copies, prints great photos, easy to use
Cons: Doesn't have flat bed scanner to copy books

I don't know how I lived without this printer. I was hesitant to buy a multi-function printer but the prices dropped and I really wanted a printer that could fax and copy.

The printer is VERY easy to use. You can do everything either...

Pros: Wonderful printer/scanner/copier/fax
Cons: none so far

We got our HP in September to make the home education program we are involved with easier. Wow! I had no idea that a person could do so many things with one handy device!

The first thing my kids did was help me to hook it up to our computer....

Pros: easy to use, good quality, many uses, good price
Cons: interferes with other applications but can be remedied with free updates

So far, I have been quite pleased with this printer. We purchased a new computer for our home office/business and needed a new printer with more capabilities to go with it. This one was not that much more than the other photo quality printers we looked...

Pros: Works with other HP cartridges, easy to find.
Cons: HP has no Windows XP drivers. IF USING XP, DO NOT BUY.

I bought an HP K80 and found out that they still don't have drivers to support anything beyond basic print and scan functions for Windows XP (as of 10 June 2002). Windows XP has been out for over 6 months and HP has yet to address this major issue....

Pros: FAXES, COPIES, SCANS, and prints all in one unit, and usually fast!
Cons: You can't scan something that is NOT flat, which some people consider a problem.

Well . . . I was very upset to see a number of reviews that said when I got my new computer, I would ...

Pros: Versatile, when it works it prints very nice photos and does color copies
Cons: Software is awful; Machine now useless with new Windows XP computer.

I bought this machine hoping to have a document scanner with OCR capabilities and as a bonus, the ability to fax and make copies as well.
Installation was easy enough. However, the small booklet manual provided is of little help if you run into a...

Pros: Simple to use. Great detail on all pics, and documents
Cons: Haven't found any.

This machine does all that is ask for the price. Also great customer support from HP. had a problem with a printer cartridge head on my new machine, contacted HP and they sent me another, and I returned the one I had in their box and postage paid by...

Pros: Multi-function
Cons: Scanning bad, printing hung up, faxing blurry document

I have had the printer for a little over a year. And now the problems are starting it seems. Not just one problem, but several. It is possible that I have a lemon, yes, but then again, who knows. I wouldn't take the risk again. It worked absolutely wonderful the first year. Great buy... But now what?

1) When you scan a photo, it has white lines running through it.

2) stuff you've sent to print sits there until you exit all programs or reboot the computer (a constant problem now) - this happens when you print from the web, MS Word, you name it - very, very frustrating.

3) The fax function is transmitting blurry documents on the receiving end.


Would I buy it again, I truly don't think so. Sorry HP!

Pros: Great printouts and wonderful color copies
Cons: None

This is a great printer. The Fax scanner and copier are also great. My printer came with XP print drivers and they are available on the web if you purchased this in 2002. The printer is discontinued but you may find some refurbs at Overstock,com
