  • Do you copy?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 3, 2001
    Pros: Easy setup. Easy to use. Makes great copies.
    Cons: No on/off switch.

    Summary: This scanner was made to be used with PC's with Win98 and USB port. There is an update for Win2000 Pro. You can find it here... http://www.hp.com/cposupport/swindexes/hpscanjet49528_swen.html After reading a few Epinions, I decided to ... read more

  • You get what you pay for

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 2, 2005
    Pros: Inexpensive, USB, decent resolution
    Cons: Installation requires updates from hp.com to run on WinXP. Still very flaky.

    Summary: I purchased this model (Scanjet 4200C) a couple of years ago for about $150. Installation seemed to work ok in Win98, but the lamp wouldn't turn off. Even after downloading the lamp update patch from HP's website, the lamp still didn't turn off. And ... read more

  • Total piece of garbage

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 18, 2003
    Pros: Worked when it felt like it. Picture quality was OK.
    Cons: Unreliable software. Causes blue screens. Support is terrible. Patches didn't work, either.

    Summary: This scanner used to work OK on both my old Pentium II and now my Pentium IV. I have a Intel D845GBV motherboard. I use Windows 98SE. Bottom line is this scanner never worked right from day one. Even after loading the lamp patch the light still sta ... read more

  • Basic Scanning 101.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 25, 2003
    Pros: Very affordable, easy to install and use.
    Cons: limited with system compatibility and for very basic usage.

    Summary: HP ScanJet 4200Cxi Basic Scanning 101. The Hewlett Packard ScanJet 4200Cxi scanner was on sale, actually it was like a liquidation sale. It was being offered at $80.00 plus taxes. There but only a few units left in the store, I ... read more

  • Good Scanner

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 7, 2002
    Pros: Easy to use, fairly good quality and seems well built.
    Cons: Has native XP support, but HP's downloadable drivers are much better.

    Summary: Have no complaints at all about this scanner. For the price I highly recommend it. HP has always sold pretty reliable equipment, maybe not the highest in visual quality, but usually pretty rugged. The only trouble was that Windows XP's default drivers ... read more

  • HP ScanJet - Big Time Disappointment

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 23, 2002
    Pros: Reasonable price. Easy install. Simple features. Great quality for the two weeks it lasted.
    Cons: Unreliable hardware. Dismal support. Worked 2-4 weeks two years ago and has not worked since.

    Summary: What a great looking device....goes to show you how we, as consumers, make our purchases. Actually, this device was a gift to me from my older son--more than 2 years ago. I was so moved by his generosity because I had my eyes on an HP scanner and this ... read more

  • Great Scanner!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 6, 2001
    Pros: Great Scan and Scan program!
    Cons: Space and wires it takes.

    Summary: The Hewlett Packard ScanJet 4200C is a great scanner for the person w/ limited scanning needs. I have never had to scan in anything very large so this has never been trouble for me. It is about medium size as scanners go. It has three convenient ... read more

  • Good quality of pictures, easy to use.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 30, 2001
    Pros: Good quality, easy to use software, USB
    Cons: Software controlled power save - sometimes have to unplug

    Summary: I bought this scanner about a year and a half ago from Staples. Cost me $200 but i'm sure now days you can get it for half price. Software is easy to install, and it links nicely with PhotoShop. Great quality of pictures, recognizes the ... read more

  • CONSUMER

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 23, 2001
    Pros: NONE
    Cons: CUSTOMER CARE AND SERVICE SUCKS

    Summary: WHEN I PURCHASED THE SCANNER I CALLED HP AND TOLD THEM THE LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT, THEY TOLD ME IF IT WORKS DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. 8 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND HP TOLD ME I SHOULD OF LOADED A PATCH WHEN THE SCANNER WAS NEW THAT TURNED THE LIGHT OFF ... read more

  • HP Did It Again

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 18, 2001
    Pros: Image quality is nice and sharp
    Cons: A bit bigger than most

    Summary: HP is well known for their quality printers, and their scanners are right up there, too. The ScanJet 4200Cse is a full-featured flatbed scanner that is worthy of wearing the Hewlett-Packard name. Besides the scanner itself, also included are a ... read more

  • Ah... That little green light.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 14, 2001
    Pros: Wonderful quality scanning.
    Cons: Can't shut it off.

    Summary: When we bought our new computer a couple of years ago, they had a great deal going with scanner and printer included. When I saw what the scanner could do, I "needed it" (I could probably live without it, but it wouldn't be as fun). This is ... read more

  • One Great Scanner!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 25, 2001
    Pros: It scans beautifully every time!
    Cons: Will not scan negatives.

    Summary: The HP ScanJet 4200Cse is a great scanner for the home use. The 4200C comes in three different packages, (C, Cse & Cxi) the only difference in them is the software that is included. This review will be on the 4200Cse that I ended up with from my Father, ... read more

  • JUST RIGHT SIZE!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 8, 2001
    Pros: Perfect size! Easy to use.
    Cons: No on/off switch

    Summary: Just three buttons on the scanner does it all! I love the idea of the buttons on the scanner. I use it more because of this feature. I have a scanner at work that does not have this feature and I find that I don't use it as often. It is fast and ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 8, 2001
    Pros: PRICE, USB, Speed, Color Quality. Ease of USE.
    Cons: Where's my On/Off Switch?!, Light Stays on when computer is off.

    Summary: WOW! $49 at Staples! And it's a HP! That's my main motivation buying it. It's even cheap buy as a toy! (However, I paid $99 and get a $50 rebate for it. and the rebate does arrive.) Let's get back to the scanner, it does provide ... read more

  • Scan, Scan, Scan away!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 20, 2001
    Pros: Easy to setup and use, image quality.
    Cons: A little smaller scanning area than my previous scanner.

    Summary: I had owned my old and trusty HP 5p for a couple of years when in 1999, it came time to upgrade. It turned out that when I bought my Zip drive and it caused a conflict with my 5p's SCSI card and would cause my computer to lock up, so a trip to Staple, ... read more

    Pros: great scans, fast, easy to use
    Cons: none

    Summary: I've had the HP 4200C for about six months now and I absolutely love it. I use it to scan photos of police patches, photos, and once in a while for a photocopy - it has worked great! The one touch buttons on the front really make its use ... read more

    Jan 24, 2001
    Pros: clear beautiful pictures,as well as text Very easy to use
    Cons: once in a while the light stays on after turning off the computer.

    Summary: Expanding possibilities, that is what the slogan says on the box my Hewlett Packard scanner came packaged in and it certainly has expanded mine. Three years next month will be the anniversary of the first time I ever sat down in ... read more

    Dec 29, 2000
    Pros: Fast, easy, quality, and affordability
    Cons: USB port only

    Summary: I recently bought the 4200C Hewlett-Packard scanner. The three keywords here are ;IT WORKS (fast, or quicker:), IT WORKS (simple to use:), IT WORKS (high quality scans:)! The three easy buttons gives you Scan, Copy, and E-mail choices. And they are ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 20, 2000
    Pros: Superb Quality, Unbeatable Value
    Cons: None, this product is outstanding

    Summary: I was once a foolish boy, who thought that I could get away with purchasing a budget MicroTek scanner, for $49 and get ultra high quality scans. Who was I kidding? Only myself. It took a short time for me to realize I needed to toss my MicroTek and ... read more
