I purchased one of these years ago and it performed very well. The printer was use for mainly business use and printed many thousands of pages. The prior reviewer stated that it sucks ink. With 4 ink carts. it save on ink. I don't know what he was printing, but I printed 100 copies of a 50 page manual (5000 pages) in high quality and went thru about 1/2 to 3/4 of the color in each and 2 black ink. Not bad considering that I would have had to replace a tri-color ink cart 7-8 times to get the same use.

The only problem with this model is that the pumping unit breaks do to being made out of plastic and runs about $50 to replace. I would rather they made it out of metal.

HP knows it has a design flaw in its "springs" that pump the ink cartridges. A broken spring under a cartridge stops all printing. I went thorugh one new printer at $400 plus and two used ones before knowing how to personally repair a spring...and there are four of them!

The printer is really great except for this problem and the problem that it needs over $250.00 of ink cartridges and ink printer heads to operate. If one is down, the entire printer is down and you have a dickens of a time figuring out which one is out. You have to keep up with a check page before one runs out, its too late to check afterwards.

As I have ink cartridges and inkheads on hand, I continue trying to replace the printer rather than switch to a newer model. But, again ... I like this printer and fear I will not like a newer replacement model.
