What a pile of junk....................2007-05-03

Others have focused on the operational characteristics of this rather expensive $700 machine. I have used HP laserjet office printers for years and have found them to be reliable, durable workhorses. I therefore opted for this rather odd looking piece of equipment, which came with an impressive list of features and was warmly recommended by the dealer. The machine seemed a bit flimsy, the way it was put together, but I was assured of the engineering excellence that was contained inside the cheesy plastic housing.

The laserjet 3380 indeed performed as promised, delivering sharp, crisp, in focus copies, faxing accurately and swiftly. It's memory was outstanding during the transmission of large documents. On the average, I used this machine two to three times daily, faxing or copying about 6-10 pages per day. Toner cartridge life seemed to be above average.

Everything was great, for the first 16 months. Then the machine quit. It was out of warranty, and today I was informed that the whole scanner assembly would need to be replaced at a cost of $375.00 I asked the technician if this was a common problem, to which he replied that he had seen "about 60 or 80" such machines with this problem. He further informed me that this issue had first developed with the earlier Laserjet 3330, and that the defective scanner technology used in that machine was then carried over through several other models, including the 3380. "HP never really got around to fixing this thing" he added helpfully. Really. Nice knowing that, after spending the going price on this piece.

I asked him if he thought the repair would be worth it. "Oh yes, I should think so" he added "you might get another 2 years out if it then". I don't think so. $700 on an all-in-one machine for 16 months of service life? And then nearly another $400 for another 2 years of opperation? No thanks. No more all-in-one products from HP for me. It's really ironic, and kind of pathetic, isn't it, that a company long known for its rugged and well made office printers would knowingly put out a piece of expensive junk, and then recycle the same defective concept over several different model runs, and expect consumers to fall for the same tired trick? Not this one. You know what they say... fool me once.....

All-in-None.......2006-06-05

2 stars -- one for faxing and one for copying.

Don't look to this machine if you need any scanning capabilities though, esp. if using a Mac. Can't get it play nicely with Vuescan or Adobe Acrobat; i.e., neither program can detect the LJ 3800. So, that forces me to use the hp Scan program, which is clumsy to say the least.

1. I'm used to the 2-step Preview/Scan process that every other program uses, but it doesn't seem to work this way with the 3380. Not sure what's up with this.

2. Saving the scans also is a bear. After I save one scan, I expect the program to remember my destination folder instead of forcing me to set it every time I want to save a file. What a drag!

I lucked out!.......2005-11-03

I wasn't sure what to expect from this LaserJet AiO based on the many negative reviews out there. However, I decided to bite the bullet and at least try it out to see if HP had worked out the bugs. I've had it about two weeks now and have had no problems, yet. It prints flawlessly, the software works well (it's connected via USB 2.0 to my laptop running Windows XP SP2). The scanner, copy, and fax functions all work just as expected, too. No problems at all. It's fairly quiet and it moves pretty fast...maybe not as fast as the $1,000 standalone laserjets, but only 5 or so seconds slower. The ADF feeder works great, too.

My only complaint is that networking wasn't built-in to the machine, and HP requires you to buy their external JetDirect print server if you want to hook this up to a network. You'd definitely expect this to be a built-in function if you're paying $700 for this system.

I realize that I may have just lucked out and actually bought one of the few non-lemons, but this unit works great. Maybe it just took some time for HP to finally fix the errors, since many of the negative reviews on this were written about a year ago.

If you're going to buy this system, I recommend purchasing it at a reputable office chain store that will allow you to return it should the unit be troublesome. Yes, you could get it cheaper off of some random, obscure website, but most likely it will be a pain in the arse to return it should something go wrong. Pay the extra $40 at Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, just to be safe.

HP for Macintosh...go somewhere else..........2005-08-13

I have an office network with several Macintosh computers, 2 Win XP machines and the 3330 printer multifuntion machine that had been suggested to me back in late 2003. the 3330 is the precursor of the 3380. It is now a year and a half from the time that this was installed and the 3330 is getting very little use because of difficulties with several aspects of the printer.

Software - Based on this expereince, HP does not write very good programs for the Macintosh. It would not work well on the network and the support for the Mac was very poor. We were using the printer as a fax that would essentially capture a digital image then send the fax to the computer. It worked but the software was so intrusive and would be constantly invading the workspace on the desktop. there was no way to turn it off. Software was not intuitive. Tech support was clueless about the abilities of their printer. they did not even know that you could preview the fac on the computer before printing the contents. The essentially told us, "you shouldn't be able to do that". Scanning over the network was a joke. It took over 20 minutes at one time to scan over the network. Did not try that again.

In term sof printing capability, it was decent. I was relatively fast. Gave good quality prints. The copier function was also reliable. Scaning using USB was acceptable. The toner is more expensive than comparable toners from other brand but it includes the drum. I think this is still the case with the current model. the bad thing was the printer function started to deteriorate after about one year of use and about 15,000 sheets of paper. The prints were either smudged or had lines streaking down the paper. No amount of cleaning or changing of the toner cartridge would remedy this situation. By the time this happened, the warranty had run out (it has a one year warranty) and repair would have been in the $300-$400 range not including the shipping. This is why is sits in the back of the office basically collecting dust. I may still use it as a scanner since it has a sheet feeder. In summary, for Macintosh on a network, look elsewhere (currently use Brother which, IMHO, is superior, unless HP has made major leaps in their programing . In terms of the printer function, what can I say, it isn't printing well anymore after a year of use. Bad apple? I don't know what the experience of others are. Iknow that there are very few Mac users out there making networks, but I hope this helps them.

Faxing works, scanning is tedious, printing is unreliable.......2004-09-14

I have been very happy with printing, faxing, and copying. Scanning, unfortunately, did not turn out well. It is not even covered in the printed manual (which is all about faxing), and pressing the "Start Scan" button simply results in the error "The ordinal 139 could not be located in the dynamic link library MAPI32.dll". Half an afternoon with "instant HP support chat" via my web browser did not clear this up. I thought the instant support system was rather slick, however, since one can work on other fronts while waiting for a chat response. I did learn from the knowledgeable support rep how to scan one page at a time from within MS Word, which was something, but the scanning is so slow that I cannot afford to use it if there is no way to scan all pages in the document feeder to a disk file unattended. At the moment, this seems to be the case. My other problem is that scanning preferences don't seem to be register anywhere that get used in the future. In other words, I have to laboriously set my preferences (resolution, paper size, black-and-white, etc.) before each scan, which doesn't seem right. The paper format defaults to legal letter size, which I found surprising.

UPDATE 10/13/04: Since my original review, I have encountered printing problems. A large percentage of PDF files will not print under Windows XP-SP2 ("printing error"). Copying the PDF file to my Linux machine and printing to a LaserJet 1220 from acroread has worked fine every time so far for the files that fail to print on my LaserJet 3380. I also could not print my taxes from Turbo Tax on the 3380 from Windows XP. This is very surprising since I am running nothing but up-to-date software.

My rating is now three stars, but I can't seem to change that.

Great Price but Very Reflective Glass.......2004-06-13

The monitor came very fast: 2 days. It looks good but the very flat glass reflects any natural light.

A great monitor at a fabulous price!!.......2004-05-10

Compared to my previous monitor (a ViewSonic E771), the depth of the Samsung SyncMaster 750s is about 15.7 inches ... which I just TOTALLY love!! I ended up having the same screen size & getting a little more real estate at my computer's workstation at the same time. I also noticed that it was much lighter that I thought it'd be. After hooking everything up, all I had to do was turn it on, make some minor adjustments to the display settings, and I was up & running in no time. Also, the dot pitch of this monitor is 0.23 mm, which gives you a much sharper image.

The CD-ROM that comes with the Samsung SyncMaster 750s contains the necessary drivers you'll need to install & color management software called "Natural Color" which, supposedly (according to what I read), provides accurate & predictable color matching to give you the best image quality possible. My opinion? The software needs to be made a tad bit more user friendly. But after using it the first time, I've noticed that Quake 3 Team Arena looked a HELL of a lot better than it did using the monitor's default settings, and that overall image quality has also improved. So if you're up to it, go for it. You can always reset everything if you don't like the results. Overall, I'm amazed that I managed to get a technology-packed monitor like this at such a low price. I definately got my money's worth by purchasing this monitor.

Great price and shipping.......2004-04-10

I odered this monitor for the specs vs price. It works great! I ordered it on super saver shipping it got to me in three days!! Thanks Amazon staff job well done!

What a Deal!.......2004-04-02

I am so happy on this choice! I thought it might be broken by the time it got here but it's in top condition. The shipping only took 5 days! 5 days before the projected delivery time. And what great color... Also I got free shipping on this monitor.

Best birthday gift for gaming and web surfing on a budget.......2004-02-19

The samsung syncmaster 750s has all the features you would expect from a monitor in this price range. The unit I received had no visible defects and had a sturdy feel to it.

The screen is bright and displays images in rich detail. The default color settings worked well. I did have to use the on screen display to adjust the geometry just a little.

The monitor was easy to configure and use in mandrake linux 9.2 it is one of the supported monitors in that distributions X configuration utility.

As to the length of service I have had the monitor for a few weeks now and it seems that it will be my primary display for years to come. A friend of mine has a slightly larger model that has lasted several years without any maintanance other then the occasional cleaning.

The monitor shipped with a install cd that included some color calibration utilities and the like. I Choose only to install the windows xp driver from it. Windows driver configuration was simple and fast. It is my understanding that the install disk also has drivers for several older versions of windows. I also tested the monitor with the generic windows xp plug and play drivers. It was well supported there to and performed adequately .

Attaching the monitor stand was simple and it its fit was secure. The stand offers at tilt feature with a fairly wide range of viewing positions.

Overall I would highly recommend this monitor to any computer user in need of a good reasonably priced durable CRT. While not quite suitable for high end art and drafting work it otherwise provides a great display for all other purposes.
