Hewlett Packard Deskjet 450Ci InkJet Printer

I read a review on this type of printer and I'm having the same problem. I guest that the HP 450 was taken off the market and replaced with the HP 460 because of its inadequate preformance. It only prints when it wants, which is not very often. If you intend on buying one you better have lots of patience.

This priter is lightweight and mobile The best thing about this printer is the quality. This printer will print up PHOTO Quality images when you use photo paper. I do have a nice hint. DO not use recycled paper with this. USE the HEAVIER paper and this will stop alot of problems and work great for you.

In the meantime I have made the same experience with the printer: it prints whenever 'it feels like it', and this is not very often; more 'nothing at all. The first couple of days it printed properly, even with the HP Bluetooth card. Strangely enough HP recommends a different printer card, but at the same time offer their BLuetooth printer card for $ 80.The tech support is expensive ( $ 39 for a totally useless telephone conversation) and sucks; seems they are aware of the defects, but are trying to conceal them! They 'offer a higher price' for an exchange with the new Deskjet 460 than HP offers it for the time being on its website!
Result: Stay away from this printer

I have used this printer for over 2 years now and never had any issues. The battery works for several hours and I even bought a unit for my parents. The trick is to use HEAVY WHITE paper - do not use recycled paper!!!!
The black cartridge lasts forever and the quality is very good. The unit is very light.

this unit is very portable,rugged good color prints and photos.
doesn't jam like some printers, w/batt only plug usb and print.

I purchased this used portable printer (which, by the way, are hard to find in stores) and was very satisfied with the quality and delivery. It works and looks good and the seller was honest about me needing to order the software (which was free from HP.)

I purchased this to use as a portable means to print customer orders while on the road. Unfortunately, the infrared is not reliable and the paper jams half the time while feeding through a print job.
Save your money!

I don`t know why all the hype about this printer being so slow.It seems someone needing a very fast printer would look at the printer specs.before purchasing one.I have had this printer for a few years and it has been above what i expected.I replaced a canon laptop printer that quit after about a year and am proud to say i made a wise choice.My advice is look at all the specs before buing something.

what a great little printer!

we needed a mobile printer for our outside of store installation jobs for our PA department.

this little printer really fits the bill. It is lightweight and easy to use.

I would buy it again if I needed to.

I travel a lot for my job. I have been looking for a printer I could carry with me. I sometimes need to print out instructions or checklists. There are several portable printers out there but the all cost $250 or more. I was able to get this one much cheaper. It works beautifully and is small enough to carry in my luggage. Even at that size it can handle normal 8.5" by 11" paper. You can get a battery for these printers but it is not worth it to me. I can usually find an AC outlet somewhere close.

Very good portable printer at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Windows Vista contained the drivers for it making it really easy to use, just plug and play. Other drivers available at the HP web site.
Good quality color and black and white printing.
All in all a very good printer for on the go printing.

Like new, tough and reliable. Would not trust any other printer after using this one. This is the best at any price.

The printer was all I hoped it to be . I needed it because I do A lot of camping and must take work with me. So I really needed as printer.

Great little printer, emphasis on little, this compact printer gives me quality true color pictures. I love it.

This printer works excellent has no problems and has a fast bluetooth response pages print quick and very clear with no mess ups like some printers leave little extra spots on the paper there is nothing to dislike about this printer i bought this printer for my mobile computer repair company so i can print pages on the go

I wanted a small printer to connect to my laptop. This printer definitely meets my needs and works great. I have purchased two of them - one for my use and one for my sister-in-law who also wanted one for her laptop after she saw mine and how it worked. The price was right and everything was included except the ink cartridges. There is nothing I don't like about it.

I needed a mobile printer for my laptop and business that I am in. It works very well. I like buying on ebay for the good deals. i would buy from this person again had a very good sales transaction.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BUYS I HAVE EVER MADE ON E-AY.. THE PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL IT WAS IN GREAT SHAPE , EVERYTHING WORKS... I LOVE IT...


THANKS...

The unit is a refurb, so not sure if it's a wear & tear issue or a design flaw, but the lid is hard to flip open (the seller warned that this was the case). This is somewhat of a hinderance at times and I always feel as if I'm on the edge of breaking it when I'm opening it up to use. Didn't expect too much from a portable unit, but this sucker is SLOW!

All that said, it performs the function for which I purchased it - printing from my laptop while on the road. Good quality and clarity of print.

We purchased 75 of these for our field staff at the Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection. We needed to use the cheap government issue paper and that may be a factor, one by one the printers came back they jammed on the paper. We sent them back to Hp and they replaced them with more that did the same. Finally we gave up and purchased Canon iP90 and replaced all the Hp printers. After our experience we would never purchase an Hp printer again. Only thing to say is if you buy this printer don't be surprised if its a total loss. They print when they want to and are subject to frequent paper jams.

My first attempt to buy an item for a fix price, was a tricktrap. The item price jump up almost 100%.

My second attemp, I submit complete payment info and printed my invoice. My payment was never process. Now I understand you are puting some type of non payment complaint up against me. Well good luck. bye.

I purchased this printer to enable me to work from my vacation home. It is light, relatively small, easy to use, and was hundreds less than purchasing new from an office supply store. It does the job!

This printer is user friendly. It is recognized by Vista so no hoops to jump through. Other operating systems are easily accommodated on the HP website. Very positive buy.
