Pros: It worked fine for about 10 scans. Cons: If you have any problems, you are up the creek.
This is the big DEAL scanner right now. Some folks ended up getting it for free with discounts online plus the mail in rebate. Mine ran about $10 (not counting the phone call and mailing the thing back).
Pros: clear, easy to use Cons: none, that I have come across yet
I got this scanner for FREE thanks to http://www.mycoupons.com.
It normally sells for about $99. I would have probably bought this one if I were to go out shopping for a scanner because of its price and the brand name,HP. Anyone that would want a...
Pros: Scanned nicely, when it worked Cons: Bad product, lousy tech support
Hewlett Packard burned me once with a computer. Within 30 days of being out of warranty, my hard drive began having problems, the CD ROM died, and the modem, which never worked completely right, gave up the ghost. I decided to give them a second chance...
Pros: Unlimited possibilities Cons: can't think of any
My first scanner was an inexpensive unfamiliar brand. Not knowing anything about scanners, I just bought the most inexpensive one I could
find. This was fine for a beginner like myself to learn and experiment with, after all I didn't know any...
Pros: Affordable, good quality scans Cons: A little slow, hate the accompanying software
Our old scanner, a Plustek, died a few months back. My toddler did something to it--need I say more? So, when I found myself in the market for a new scanner, I wanted something of equal or better quality. I found it with the HP Scanjet 3200C. ...
Pros: it scans, no mechanical problems in 2 years Cons: takes more time than other scanners
I bought this scanner two years ago and it still is in good working condition. Mainly, I bought it because it was fairly inexpensive at the time and it was from HP.
For my purposes this machine has worked well. Although I was expecting a copy...
Pros: It is a great investment and simple to use Cons: Adobe Photo Deluxe is not very advanced. I have Live Pix and it was better to fix up the pictures with.
In a search to find a quality scanner to purchase for my home office, I cam across many scanners. I did a lot of research through the internet including this site, and different stores around NYC which sell scanners and computer accessories. ...
Pros: Cheap, Good Grayscale Cons: Slow, Bad Color, Big
I bought the HP ScanJet 3200C at Staples after I needed to find a cheap scanner that I thought could do the job right. Having worked at a scanner company over the summer, I had an idea of what to look for in a scanner. At first, I was going to buy a...
The HP ScanJet is an excellent low-end scanner with good features and a nice price. I purchased one last fall for my parents, and was pleasantly surprised.
The image quality is very good when you consider the price range. It has about double...
Pros: Great quality resolution, easy to use, price. Cons: Scanned photos create very large files, no on/off switch.
The HP 3200 flatbed scanner is a joy to use. I was astonished at the high quality of reproduction that this scanner produced, using poor quality, snapshot-style pictures that are years old. I've been able to clean up and enlarge tons of baby pictures...
Pros: Easy to use Cons: What you see might not be what you get
We recently purchased a H.P. with Adobe. I like it because it is easy to use and that's a must for me. It has an Adobe, which is a little harder, but not much.
I'm still learning that part. An Adobe is a place you can send your pictures to and...
Pros: Good scanner for the price Cons: none that I can think of
Before I bought this scanner, I had a different scanner (the Visioneer PaperPort 3100b). That scanner was brand new and all it did was scan white. I returned it, and found the HP 3200C for a lower price. In a matter of minutes, it was up and ready to go....
Pros: easy set up, resolution Cons: warranty information
The HP ScanJet 3200C scanner is about as simple as they come, especially when you're not familiar with scanners and their capabilities. This one creates a top quality image with very little effort on your computer's part as well as yours.
I love HP products, and was disapppointed with this one when it came out. HP sometimes has trouble competing on the low-end, and when scanners got so cheap and everyone started buying them for $100, HP didn't know what to do. So, in their rush to get a...
Pros: EASY to use Cons: Needs to be hooked up exactly the way it says to be hooked up
I've only had a home computer for about two years now and I finally decided last December that I needed a scanner. So I went out to Staples and asked the guy what was best for a beginner, he picked the 3200C out, I paid and was on my merry way. The total...
Pros: quality of scan "OK" Cons: Loud, slow , not reliable
When I first purchased this scanner I should have known to take it back! It was way too loud and scanned way too slow. And of course, I only had a limited time to return it to the store and have lost my opportunity. Ive tried calling technical support...
Pros: Ease of use and installation Cons: No On/Off Button
After reading all the different reviews regarding scanners, I chose the HP 3200C, and I have been very happy with my choice. After getting home it took only about 15 minutes and I had everything up and running and ready to scan.
I have had this scanner for about 2 months. I really like it. The setup was easy, I didn't even have to wait for my boyfriend to do it for me! I bought this scanner to use in my hobby of scrapbooking. It allows me to scan pictures to adjust the size...
Pros: good quality scans, fast, easy to use Cons: Scanned pictures can have streaks on them if it is the first scan of the day. No USB port
We bought the HP 3200 for our office about a year ago. I have used other scanners in the past like Mustek and Microtek, but the HP ScanJet has them beat in this price class. The HP 3200C is simple to install and even easier to use. It's quick and the...
Pros: easy set up,nice clear scans, user friendly software Cons: rattles when scanning,no instruction booklet
I recently received my HP scanner via Santa Claus. As for this is my first scanner I truly dont have much to compare to. But I can give my opinion on the ease of set up and to the speed that I was able to scan and print my first picture. ...
Pros: Hooks up easy, easy interface Cons: Easily broken, Customer service Expensive
We bought the scanner, brand new, 6 months ago. It hooked up nicely and easily and was, to me, a GREAT find. I used it at least once a week for about 3 months. On the 4th month I started noticing yellow streaks in my scans. Since the warranty only is for...
I have recently purchased the HP Scanjet 3200C. Since that i feel that it was a wrong decision of mine to purchase the product now because it is so good that I should have bought it atleast 2 years ago.according to the pice it is...
Pros: Easy scanner to set up and use Cons: Scan time is a bit slow
UPDATE: April 2005 Posted first in April 01: When my husband became an independent contractor doing commercial building inspections we needed a scanner. I first bought a brand other than HP. I could not get the thing to work. In defense of ...
Pros: Large enough area you can scan, reliabilty, clear images, good value Cons: .gif images are poor quality, can be confusing to use
When it comes to scanners under $110, the HP scanjet 3200C rocks. It is simple to use and produces clear images when in .jpg format. In .gif format it produces very grainy, fuzzy images.
My only beef with this scanner is that it produces...
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to understand instructions. Cons: No on/off switch.
I purchased this scanner at Circuit City Stores after returning from our trip to Hawaii. We went solely on the recommendation of the salesman considering the maximum we wanted to spend (Approximately $100). The ScanJet 3200C, 600x1200 ppi, was so simple...
Pros: great scanning at a great price Cons: packaged hp scanning software is horrible
I bought this scanner about six months ago and for $59 after rebate, I couldn’t beat the price. I got it back to the office, and discovered, much to my chagrin, that the HP software packaged with the scanner does not work with Windows NT.(I...
Pros: good graphics, easy to use, Cons: slow, OCR software thin
I have tried many scanners who claim they are perfect for photos, text etc. but none have worked well until now. It is user friendly which helps the novice and even the experienced ones who have trouble understanding what they read (like me) I scanned...
Pros: convenient to have around, great picture quality Cons: some problems with the software every once in a while
I own a Hewlett Packard Scanjet, and it does wonders. It is so convenient to have around. With it I am able to send friends pictures over e-mail, I am able to make copies, and I can scan pictures into the computer for reports. The quality of the...
I finally bought a scanner today. To be honest, I was afraid to buy one. Both of my sisters told me of the horrible time they had using,and even installing theirs. I got my HP Scan Jet 3200C at Wal-Mart, for $89. I chose this scanner because I love my HP...
Pros: price, clear pictures, and easy to use Cons: none
We got this scanner in August because I wanted to have a web-page for the kids pictures. And how can you get pictures in your computer without a scanner? We had priced several of them and this seemed to be the best priced one. There was one a...
I purchased this scanner mainly because of the price: $33 at Staples.com when they had it on sale + coupon. I don't scan often, so this was a very good choice for me. But those who are looking to scan more often or are impatient, then I suggest you...
Pros: Good low-end scanner Cons: STILL no Windows 2000 support!!
Unfortunately, HP has advertised this on their side as having Windows 2000 support. This is a blatant lie. We bought several of these, and then upgraded to Windows 2000, expecting that HP, being the "reliable" company that it is, would...
Pros: Cheap, Decent Quality, Easy to Use Cons: No Windows 2000 drivers
I purchased this scanner for my kids to use for school projects; it has worked very nicely for that purpose. The image quality is good and the software provided seems good. The scan time seems a bit long a times and (the biggest negative) the computer...
We bought our HP ScanJet 3200 about a year ago. We didn't think we would use one alot, but wanted one. We bought it at Staples. The price was 89.00 when we bought it. We looked at more expensive ones, but for our home use, we figured this would work. We...
Pros: inexpensive and easy to use Cons: problem not repairable
I purchased the HP 3200C flatbed scanner at Circuit City on sale. Since this was my first scanner, I was looking for a easy to operate, inexpensive scanner. The software was easy to load with accurate directions. Connecting the scanner to my PC was a...
Pros: Great quality, price and satisfaction! Cons: NONE
Okay, it didn't take alot for me to learn that a little extra money might mean that the product will actually work...I bought a Scanport scanner for $80 off of a TV shopping channel ( a popular one ) and thought that I was getting a great deal...Yea...
Pros: inexpensive, good image quality Cons: limited scanning control
The most obvious advantage this ScanJet 32000C offer is of its low price tag. I was up and scanning within 10 minutes of unpacking the shipping unit, thanks to the 3200C's simple parallel interface. With its 600-dot-per-inch optical resolution and 30...
Pros: inexpensive, comes with adobe software Cons: unreliable, slow, locks up computer
This scanner worked perfectly until it's warranty expired. I wonder if they can program it to blow up at 91-days. That's right folks! Only a 90-day warranty. Definitely check out warranty info before you buy. In addition, if you want technical...
Pros: large surface area, cheap Cons: not awesome quality of scans
The hewlitt packard scanjet series scanner is a great line of scanner that wont take all of your money. The 3200 C is the cheapest scanner in the series weighing in at a mere eighty nine dollars, it comes with all necessary cords and programs, it even...
Pros: quiet, small, and print quality is great. Cons: cost a little more than cheap ones...but well worth it.
My complete computer system is HP. We chose this set up because of the name, the quality, and the support of the company.
I recently was given the HP scanner as a birthday gift. I've never used a scanner before. My mother has one, and...
Easy to use, quick, and good quality, is what you look for when shopping for something like a printer or scanner. Unfortunatly you cannot find those qualities in very many products today, because the need for them has made them be mass-produced, and...
Pros: cost efficient Cons: pics are not top quality
I purchased this scanner because I needed a low cost machine for home use.
It does a good job for what I need done. It takes a while and the pictures aren't top quality. But I didn't pay a high price for it too. I does a good job considering the...
I have a small business called Sandra's Specialties. I make beadwork and jewelry out of seed beads, which are smaller than the point of a pencil. I need to show the people of my town how flawlessly I can make an 1 inch long bunny. That means I have to...
Pros: Low price, good quality scans Cons: Compatibility with Epson
I experienced consistent "fatal exception" errors after installing this scanner. Scanner and Adobe software would work fine for a couple of nights before the errors started again. I emailed HP's tech support center and got a response in 24...
I had had nothing but good experiences with Hewlitt-Packard equipment on the high-end (money-wise) for over 15 years as a production manager/Mac sys admin. So, when I broached the scary area of self-employment, I purchased what I could afford of the HP...
Pros: Large scanning area Cons: Scans from magazines sometimes look blotchy
I would have loved to have bought a high end model scanner, but since I have both a Mac and an old-school-non-usb PC, I couldn't purchase one that both of them could use because of all tha additional stuff I'd need to buy, so instead I opted for two...
Pros: it's cheap Cons: doesn't work, tech support costs, corrupts files, can't link with most other products
This scanner WOULD be a nice one if it would work. BUT it's configured so that it is INCOMPATIBLE with other HP scanner/printers. No joke! I called tech support (which I might add I had to pay for) and they told me flat out that it won't work with...
Pros: Great - when it works Cons: No off switch. Has to be turned off through the program to ever work again.
8-22-2 update:
OK, I was wrong. What I should have done was to click into the "File" area of the scanner program, then click "Exit" when I was done scanning. There is no "off" switch on the scanner, so I thought, wrongly, that just turning off the...
Pros: Simple to use, good quality scans Cons: Slowwwww, seems to be designed to burn scan light out
HP says you can use it right out of the box -- which is true. However, on my Compaq PC w/ 500Mhz Athlon processor (fast), it still takes almost 5 minutes to scan in a single page. Worse, it totally locks Win98 so I can't do anything else while waiting....
Pros: Fairly Easy Setup, Good Quality for Price, CHEAP! Cons: Basic Software Package, Bad Warranty
Once I saw the $89 price tag I figured I'd have to give this scanner a try. Hewlett Packard has a fair name for making quality products. I've bought printers and used computers made by them in the past, so I figured that based on the name and feature...
I recently bought the HP Scan Jet 3200C and I really like it. When I went out to buy a scanner I wanted to find one that was not hard to use. I asked the sales man to guide my in that direction and he showed me the HP 3200C. The program is easy,just...
Pros: very easy to use, cheap for quality Cons: none
This scanner works great, plain and simple. It scans great quality pictures, and you can save them in a WIDE variety of formats, gif, jpg, bmp, are just three of the seemingly endless list of what you can save them in. The program to scan with is perhaps...
Pros: Ease of install/use Cons: Copy function very slow
This is THE scanner for light to medium usage. Setup was a breeze; HP Precision Scan LT software is very friendly and stable. This is a good choice for basic scanning jobs & text OCR. I purchased mine to incorporate WinFax Pro in my home based...
Pros: Simple to use, fun, pictures come out pretty good! Cons: Too many problems with installing the scanner program onto the computer.
I bought this scanner because the one I really wanted wouldn't work with my particular computer. I was so excited when I brought it home and hooked it up; which was very simple to hook up to my printer. (Although it is just as simple to hook up if you...
Pros: GREAT SCANNER Cons: customer service doesn't think all customers are important
We recently bought our first computer and are enjoying it. So right away we wanted a scanner. We decided to go with HP because of quality products and because the have a good customer service reputation. We love the 3200c that we selected. It took me...
My personal opinion of this product isn't a very good one. I own and operate a small business and I need products upon which I can depend. When I first bought the HP Scanjet 3200c I could not get it to work correctly with my printer which is a Lexmark...
Pros: good quality, lots of features Cons: no booklet..you have to learn on your own!
I have about a MILLION pictures of my daughter, and sending them across country to be scanned was getting a bit ridiculous! So we went and bought one for ourselves! What a great investment! Only 99$ and it does an EXCELLANT job! The sales guy told us all...
Pros: fast, inexpensive, great software, good compatibility Cons: the lock feature - dont screw around with it, otherwise fine
I would have to say that the HP Scanjet 3200C is a great scanner. We got it about 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. Everytime I scan it works great. You can fit all different size things in there, textbooks even and it will scan...
Pros: Price was good Cons: Only works 5% of the time
This is the first scanner I ever purchased, and chose HP because I wanted a reliable product. When I was able to get the scanner at a great price I jumped at the chance. At first the scanner worked just fine, then the third time I tried to use it I got...
Pros: Easy to set up, good resolution, good software Cons: a little slow compared to more expensive usb
I recieved the HP Scanjet 3200C as a Christmas gift from my parents this year. Most other pieces of hardware and software I have used on my (crack rigged) computer have taken endless hours to get running and have been less than I expected in...
Pros: Easy To Use, Affordable Cons: No On/Off Switch
Looking for your first scanner? Do you scan more for fun than anything else? If so, you'll definitely want to take a look at this one. It's a great basic scanner at a great price, and perfect for young or inexperienced users.
I've had a 3200C...
Pros: compact, light, inexpensive Cons: no support, not compatible with all printers or peripherals
The problem with the Hewlett Packard Scanjet 3200c is that it will not work with all the H.P. printers. I bought one and hooked it up to my
333mhz desktop computer and loaded the software. It scanned in a picture pretty well, but when I went to...
Pros: The best thing I ever did. Cons: I have no cons. on the 3200C its perfect!
The HP3200C is the best scanner I have ever had. My last scanner was just a Kodak snap shot scanner and I thought it was the greatest thing ever until I tried the HP3200C and then I couldn't Believe my eyes that the scanner was so smart that it had so...
For a HP product, this is rather dissapointing. The software seems promising at first with it's easy installation, but once in action I'd rather be riding a slug. Start-up seems slow. You have to wait for the scanner to complete a pre-scan before all,...
Pros: Quality pics, Interesting Software Cons: Must be shut off --otherwise acts up
To be quite honest, I originally purchased this scanner, because, it would go with the rest of the package I already had.--all HP When I first used it, I was impressed with how clear the scans turned out. The only problem was figuring how I wanted to...
The HP ScanJet 3200C was a good value for your money in early 1999, but you can now pick up a flatbed scanner with higher resolution for less money. The 3200C sells for less than $100, but there are now much better values and quality scanners available...
This scanner is very affordable and has very appeling items to it. The software that came with my hp3200c helps me to enhance my pictures to my needs. The software removes red eye fixes unwanted things it the pic and gives it an overall great look. I...

Great Scanning is just a click away!
You have obviously have something to want to scan, whether its a picture or a document the HP 3200C can do it!
At one time this particular scanner was $199.00,so you can imagine how thrilled i was when...
Pros: Inexpensive, Good for photos Cons: Very Slow, never turns off
This is just your plain old ordinary scanner. I have had mine for over 2 years now. It is very slow. My main use for buying this scanner was to scan pictures to upload to the web. I got very lucky. Let me explain. This scanner is great for scanning...
Pros: Great scans at a budget price. Cons: Could be hard to install.
I am not an expert at scanners and in fact the HP3200c is my first purchase. I brought it home, set it up and was scanning in excellent quality and fast enough for my modest needs. It has worked reliably ever since. I had only one problem. My Epson...
All of our hardware for our computer is HP and we decided to go with Hewlett Packard when we wanted to buy a scanner. When I first scanned a picture of my friend I was astonished at the clear and perfect quality. Any one who has a computer would get...
Pros: Convert typed pages to text document Cons: creates errors

I resendly baught a scanner of this model and had good thing about it, it scans really really good it has a design for all kinds of scanning even objects I really recommend this product to anyone that has a family or is just wanting to scan some good old...
Pros: not any Cons: Don't buy this piece of hardware
This machine should be taken completely off the market. HP also ought to refund the money spent on this machine to anyone who bought it. Not only did I never get it to work right with my computer but it keep crashing my system. As I have a brand new...
Pros: Great Price Cons: Bad scanning less than a year old.
I bought this scanner for my first scanner and I had it out of the box and scanning in about 15 minutes. Very easy to set up and use. The resolution is great. I do have some trouble with it. I have had it for less than a year and when I scan, yellow...
Pros: The HP trustworthy name Cons: haven't found one yet
I love our 3200C!! It was our first scanner purchase so I am not comparing it to others. I have 3 teenagers who use it all the time. It comes in handy for scanning the report card to send to their Grandpa for money for the grades and a whole lot more. I...
Pros: cheap & easy to operate Cons: cheap tech help should be available
My 3200 did work fine, then I installed Office 2000. Now I cannot get the software to recognize the scanner. What I get is a message that says HPPRSCLT not responding. I have reinstalled the scanner software, reinstalled Windows 98, installed the update...

Pros: easy to follow installation directions and software Cons: none yet

Pros: Good value for the money Cons: Not as speedy as desired
I bought this product to make copies of photos and black and white text. The product does a commendable job for both purposes. Those who are not seeking perfection will benefit most from this product. The black and white copies come out very clearly....
Pros: Great results in a quick time. Cons: Keep away roaches ..they reek havoc.
I have come to trust HP to the extent that almost all of my add-ons are made by this company. They have to represent the standard in their fields and you can feel comfortable in knowing that you are getting your money's worth.
