  • As a Regular Person, Do I Really Need Such an Elaborate Piece of Equipment?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 1, 2003
    Pros: scans, copys, prints, AND faxes
    Cons: expensive cartridges, poor telephone support, cannot recycle paper

    Summary: I am a regular person. I have a very small home business that requires a lot of computer work but not so much printing work. I do go to school and need to print out assignments. My family and I do a lot of net surfing and frequently print out websites ... read more

  • Nice Features - Poor Quality - Annoying Software

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 24, 2003
    Pros: Works well when it works
    Cons: Annoying software, poor quality (two replacements this year,) expensive cartridges, often rejects refills or generics

    Summary: It's a relatively good machine and it does get the job done when it works. On my first machine the paper handler started jamming on every page of a FAX making it necessary to FAX each page separately from the glass. After getting the paper ... read more

  • Love it, except for..........

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 24, 2003
    Pros: Easy to use
    Cons: Doesn't always feed paper right

    Summary: I have had this 2 years now, and do like it. The paper does have a problem by grabbing 2 sheets of ... read more

  • HP D series D135 multifunction

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 15, 2003
    Pros: Complete functionality, quality workmanship, intuitive software and front panel, impressive operation and output.
    Cons: More expensive than some, but appears to be worth it after 1 year of use.

    Summary: We searched over a dozen sites for several weeks before deciding on the HP D135. We use it at home and not for any business purpose. We have had it now for a year and I have run it through most of its functions. The easy to use color setup ... read more

  • The Only machine you will need

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 12, 2003
    Pros: This machine does it all!
    Cons: Can not find any (and I am picky)

    Summary: This machine is awesome! The problem with most do it all computer machines is that the fax portion c ... read more

  • One machine - does it all well

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 12, 2003
    Pros: Flatbed multisheet photocopier. Sharp printing with good colors.
    Cons: Large footprint especially when opening copier. Very slow when used with a Mac (OS X).

    Summary: I own 3 officejet g85 all-in-one devices and use them under Windows XP, Windows 98, and Mac OS X 10.2.3 -- this machine behaves differently under the two operating systems. First, the all-in-one contains a fax, color scanner, color ink jet ... read more

  • Great for a lot but not for high speed home office

    Not rated yet by the Epinions community
    Apr 8, 2009
    Pros: It's a great machine- fax, copy, print and scan in color or black and white
    Cons: Doesn't fax or copy legal size well.

    Summary: This is a great little machine that I have used for a home business and would be great for home use as long as you don't use legal size paper much. It's awesome for receiving faxes of any size or length. I've had it for years and it gets heavy use and

  • good features, expensive

    May 6, 2006
    Pros: printing and copying quality, easy fax operation, Automated Document Feeder
    Cons: expensive cartridges, very slow scanning

    Summary: Installation: without problem. Printing: quality and speed as specified by manufacturer, enough for me. Faxing: very easy. Front panel display helpful. Copying: good enough quality, even in colors, but nothing special to

  • G85 is Dead

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Jan 25, 2006
    Pros: Its dead, so I no longer have to deal with it.
    Cons: Undependable and expensive to operate. No support from HP.

    Summary: Had this unit for a few years. Used very infrequently which is good because it jams 20% of the time. It uses ink very fast. Today it just died, no power whatsoever. HP is no help since unit is obsolete. I have owned a number of HP products over the last

  • First loser from HP

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Dec 7, 2004
    Pros: They don't make it anymore?
    Cons: See review. Bad scanning, feeding, software. Expensive and annoying.

    Summary: I'm a longtime HP fan and use their products extensively. I've used their testing equipment for 25 years, and their printers since before the HP Laser Jet 4L. I use their HP 48G calculator only because it's easier to convert units than on my HP 28S.

  • Poor machine quality

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Aug 5, 2004
    Pros: Good color printing and color photo's.
    Cons: Cheap plastic take-up and feed mechanism failed in month 18, i.e. out of warranty

    Summary: I bought the G85 18 months ago. The software worked OK with Windows 2000. The machine produced good quality photo's and color printing, which it was mainly used for. I have printed about 750 pages (I use an HP LaserJet for black & white printing).

  • Dismal product and support - avoid

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Jun 6, 2004
    Pros: No much
    Cons: Poorly made, no support - avoid

    Summary: Had my G85 for 14 months with home use (infrequent). Now I get on the front panel "Scanner Failure - re-power". I phoned HP who tell me the printer is obsolete and is no longer supported!! They offered me a new printer at "discounted" prices. Boy am

  • Not a good buy, sadly surprised by HP

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Feb 12, 2004
    Pros: When it printed, it was good quality output.
    Cons: VERY POOR workmanship/design. Paper feeding mechanisms were surprisingly faulty for an HP.

    Summary: The quality of the print output was very good, but the machine itself was poor. We were lucky and bought an extended warranty so the store is sending us a check. We had to have a major component replaced while it was still under warranty but now it has

  • Great output and features, flimsy internal parts break easily

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Feb 10, 2004
    Pros: Good performance, great photo and the best plain-paper output, good features and duplexing
    Cons: Flimsy plastic parts in paper-handling mechanism break easily and cripple or end use.

    Summary: Few all-in-one devices will be able to match the quality and speed of the OfficeJet in plain-paper output for printing and copying. Although the price is higher than competing models, I would challenge anyone to go into a store and make a photocopy of
