Customer Reviews

UPDATE 11/27/2011:

I do not recommend this printer. Despite firmware updates last year and the printer working for a while, the sleep issue came back and never went away. In order for the printer to work, needed to unplug and replug in to unfreeze it and then use. HP never ultimately addressed the issues. Very disappointing. I have moved on.

UPDATE 12/11/2010:

Have been running a firmware update for over a week now.... while the printer locked up once, it could have been due to a power fluctuation. Overall the issue listed in the CON below seems to be resolved so far. While the printer is nice, HP still gets 2 stars for how this was handled (they should have been responding to the many posts in their support forums for their new product.. also disappointed that an issue like this made it through whatever testing they do).

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Pros:

- The printer was relatively easy to set up wireless... worked for a mix of Windows 7 x64 computers and Windows XP laptop (all wireless)

- The speed of the printing is quick and the quality of typical documents is nice

- Photo printing looked very nice on photo paper

- The two trays that come with the printer, one for normal paper and one for photo paper are a fantastic idea

Cons: (arrrghhh... frustrating con, hence the 3 star deduction)

- The printer would go to sleep and infrequently never wake up... it would take unplugging and re-plugging the printer power cord to reboot the printer (this takes some time, the printer takes about a minute or so to re-power up). I researched the issue on the HP website forums and found a number of users were having the same issue. There are no firmware updates to fix this issue, in fact, there's no evidence that HP recognizes this as an issue and is addressing it...

THE FIX AND ONLY HELP... on the forum, an HP employee (who takes pains to stress he's being helpful and not responding as an authorized HP representative) is the only ray of light... he provides very nice step by step details on how to fix the problem (effectively, change the IP from dynamic to static on the printer). While I am very comfortable doing such a thing, I can see the majority of users not being comfortable doing this and effectively being left with a printer that locks up every day. HP really needs to get their stuff together and at least say something to the effect that they are working on the issue.

Disappointed in HP support.

At this point, I would not recommend this printer to anyone except people with higher than average level of tech knowledge.

Background:

I currently own an older version of this HP photo printer, a C3100 series. The biggest differences on this C310 model are the WiFi connection, seperate ink cartridges for Cyan/Magenta/Yellow (instead of a single multicolor cartridge), and the color touchscreen. I have not yet purchased a set of ink cartridges, so unfortunately this review will not include any information about ink cartridge longevity, since the printer only comes with "sample" cartridges that only allow for a couple pages of printing.

Setup:

Initial setup was a breeze. I am using this printer exclusively over WiFi, and the printer is located in a different room than my computers. When you turn the printer on for the first time, the touchscreen display walks you through the initial setup, including the WiFi connection. It took me about 2 minutes from start to finish. The computer software took a while to install, but is nicely automated so you don't have to be a networking expert to get connected to the printer.

On-printer User Interface:

The touch-screen works very well, with a comfortable amount of touch sensitivity. I never accidentally hit a wrong command during my testing. The features of this printer can be used almost completely without the use of a computer. For example, you can scan a photo, crop and edit it on-screen, and save it to either a remote computer on the network or a memory card. Printing photos from a memory card is equally easy.

Print Quality:

Excellent. Photo color is reproduced very accurately. Pixel resolution is very fine, no pixelation was noticeable with the naked eye.

Print Speed:

I have only tried printing 4x6 photos as of this writing, so I cannot say for sure how fast a full 8.5x11 photo would print. Each 4x6 photo printed in around 20 seconds.

Scanner/Copier quality:

I performed a photocopy using a photo which was printed out on my older C3100 printer. The resulting print was slightly lossier than the original print, with minor color differences, but overall quite an acceptable copy. The scanner is very high resolution (600dpi), and creates digital copies of analog images better than any of my other scanners.

What I don't like:

More of a complaint about the printer industry as a whole, but I hate that printers these days only come with "sample cartridges". They can't possibly be that much cheaper to make, and are a very obvious marketing scheme to make you fork over more money when you buy the printer. I guess I can't fault HP for following industry marketing trends, but it is still very irritating. As for as this printer specifically, I can't say I have many complaints, but the paper tray capacity could use an upgrade. The photo paper tray only holds about 20 sheets or so, and the standard paper tray holds about 75 sheets.

Ink Cartridge Longevity:

As I mentioned before, I haven't purchased the full set of cartridges yet, so my review is limited to my use of the "sample cartridges" the printer came with. After I buy and test the full cartridges, I will update this review.

Overall:

I am very happy with this printer, and after using it, I am comfortable saying that I would buy it again.
