Hewlett Packard DeskJet 712c InkJet Printer

Pros: Cheap, easy to fix
Cons: Expensive ink, no USB, slow, outdated technology.

I have several printers in my basement office and each has its own uses specific for the job I am printing. Recently I picked up a used Hewlett Packard 712c inkjet printer and refurbished it myself. When I first got the printer it did not print and the ...

Pros: does not screw up; crisp, clear images; good ergonomics
Cons: HP does not have an 800 number for tech support

I am a computer idiot. I know that RAM is "random access memory" and that ROM is "read only memory," but that's about all I know. I bought the HP 712C printer as part of a system that included the HP Pavillion 4450 computer and the...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy-to-use printer for casual printing
Cons: Speed and low (not for professional purposes) quality

How I Learned To Love A Little Printer After A Laser

Back in the mid 1990s, I convinced myself that I had to have a laser printer for home. I don’t know why, particularly because although I work at home an awful lot, I use a...

Pros: Fast, Good print quality.
Cons: Noisy. Won't take heavy card stock.

Our heads were still reeling from technicese speak from all of the salesmen. We finally purchased a computer then the 12 year old that sold it to us said...."so, now what about a printer?"

"HUH?" We responded so eloquently....

Pros: Good Quality, Good Value, Dependable
Cons: Slower than LaserJets

I purchased my DeskJet 712C about 8 or 9 months ago. When I first purchased my 712C, I was working from home about one day a week and using the printer for work-related printing. I am also a full-time student and use my printer extensively in printing...

Pros: fast, quiet, good quality
Cons: they don't give them away

I purchased the Hewlett Packard DeskJet 712C printer about a year ago. We had just bought a new computer desk and the place where the printer fit had a shelf over it. The printer that we had at the time was a Lexmark 2030. It was a top loading printer...

Pros: Great color quality
Cons: a little slow

Having just had a baby, my wife and I recently decided to purchase a color inkjet printer so we could scan our babies pictures, print them on photo paper and send them to relatives. Being new parents, however, we weren't in a position to shell out a...

Pros: high quality, quality printing in color and black and white, increase printer cartridge volume
Cons: cost of ink

I bought my first HP printer back in 1995. That printer was and HP 660C which is similar to the 712C. I paid $250 for that first HP printer and the printer worked strong for almost 4 years. When that printer finally needed service the cost to repair...

Pros: Excellent quality and reasonably priced
Cons: Can be a little slow when put into "Best" mode

I always wanted a printer that would allow me to print out "decent" photos of various things. I was shopping around, but never found one worth the money stores were asking for. Then one day, I was shopping and I came across the HP Deskjet...

Pros: Inexpensive, great quality, doesn't guzzle ink
Cons: It wasn't free (only thing I could think of)

I loved my other brand color printer, it was my first color printer and I thought it was GREAT. I hated the fact that it sucked down ink. Refills were expensive and too frequent. I bought a refill kit which seemed to make it last longer but I ruined...

Pros: easy to use, plug and play
Cons: sometimes the littlest things can screw it up

When I got my new computer, I needed a new printer. I really didn't need something that could spit out 400 pages a minute or print photographs better than Kodak. I just wanted something that I could print my college term papers on.

I did...

Pros: Performance, Price, Bonus Software, Top is flat so you can stack stuff on it!
Cons: It won't dust itself!

The HP Deskjet 712C is like my favorite sneakers, I can always count on it to handle whatever I may need. I run an average of 25 sheets daily through it, postage sheets, thick paper, even posterboard once, although I don't recommend doing that since it...

Pros: Does a Great Job
Cons: Refills are very expensive

I really like my HP Desk Jet - it does a great job on printing. I hardly have any problems with it. I did not have problems with drivers. I have a Compaq presario computer with Windows 98 and it all loaded up fine. But I know a company with Windows NT...

Pros: Best printer short of a professional one
Cons: ink cost

...which of course is what the Epson 660 Color Stylus printer is, but that's besides the point.

If you bought a Gateway,Dell, or Compaq computer over about the past year or so, you probably have a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 712C. If you don't...

Pros: Easy Installation. Love the power cable.
Cons: Installation program is terrible.

I bought the HP Deskjet 712C back quite a while ago because of the fact that I had no printer at all. The one reason I considered HP is because of HP's good quality in everything they have done so far. After getting all the neccessary items (most of the...
