HP Business Inkjet 1200 is a lousy printer.......2007-06-20

That's the title of someone's feedback, and that's my feedback, too. It gave me every kind of trouble. More details soon; here is the result. After days of emails and 7 pages of fix-it instructions for my brand new 1200, HP finally said they would take back my new printer, give me a refurbished printer, if I paid them $35.00 -- and the refurbished printer would be out of warrenty.

Here are the faults: out of the box, this "business" printer is flimsy plastic; the USB doesn't connect without much tinkering; the open cover warning light comes on (with the covers taped down); the no-ink light comes on (for a new printer, with all cartridges seated hard); the network warning light comes on (but there is no network). Sometimes there is one warning light, sometimes two, and sometimes all of them come on, even the ones that couldn't apply.

Those times when I tinker enough to get all the warning lights off, those times that come after repeatedly pulling the power line and the USB cable, and I send output to the printer, then I get the message, 'Error - Printing'. There is no explanation anywhere. But there is no printing at all.

I got printing after 3 emails with 7 pages of instructions plus a web page for a download and install. But the margins can't be fixed, and it prints an extra blank page after each good one. And that is the final, good news.

Do you get the feeling that the hardware on the 1200 is junk, and the software is really bad?

Exactly what I needed.......2006-03-03

I needed a parallel port printer that could still perform decently at a moderate demand level, and I got exactly that. I had none of the dreaded HP installation software problems nor did I have the page cut-off problem mentioned by another reviewer. I am very pleased by the speed and quality of the output and the ink usage seems quite reasonable. Also, the printer machinery seems very solid.

A year of carefree printing.......2006-01-24

I bought the HP Business Inkjet 1200d out of frustration with dealing with my girlfriend's Lexmark. She doesn't do much printing, so the Lexmark cartridges died quickly with a full inkload. But at $70 per set of Lexmarks, the HP seemed more promising with it's separate printheads at $33 apiece, and ink tanks at similar costs. I wanted separate printheads, as I had been BADLY burned by a $400 Brother multifunction machine that used ONE four-color printhead that cost $200 to replace(at 60 days use).

After a year of low-volume use, the HP is working fine. So what did I expect? Well, I really expected to have some problems with ink coagulating due to the low useage. I insist that Girlfriend run at least a couple of pages every week. The HP is working fine.

The REAL story to this review is that I was really impressed with this machine. I didn't really want to fork out another $180 for one for myself. So I bought a couple of used HP 1100d's, the predecessor machine, on eBay. I've also posted my review of that machine here on Amazon. I use the crap out of my 1100d. They are virtually the same machine, but the 1200d supposedly resolves some software problems with the 1100d. After two sets of ink cartridges in my 1100d, I discovered Continuous Ink Systems on eBay. This system replaces the HP cartridge with an identical insert fed by external ink tanks through plastic tubing. No more expiring ink cartridges, and printing is almost like FREE. Just thought you should be aware of the true potential of these printers from someone who has used them for at least one year.

My 6th HP printer.......2005-09-19

I've had the 1200D for about 6 months, about 4,000 pages.
So far it is FANTASTIC for my needs.
Ink cost about 2 cents per page instead of 10 cents, I'd estimate.
Perfect duplexing, very FAST, and NO quality issues or paper handling issues. Software is working well on older Win 2000 pro system. Easy installation on one computer. Software seems perfect.

I did have a one time setup issue getting it to network perfectly with 4 other computers on the home microsoft network. Had to change security sharing settings using a windows registry editor. I did it exactly according to HP support website. I found the instructions at the HP website when I searched "1200d network installation". Now it's perfect. (networking various operating systems, with 1200D attached to Win 2000 pro computer).

I started with the original "HP Deskjet" black & white on my first PC. Still use it at a remote site!! (14 years old?) It had "font cartridges"!! Still works perfectly with Windows XP laptop.
I had trouble with HP SOFTWARE on my HP "all in one" 2510. It works, but is VERY slow software on a NEWish Dell windows XP computer.
But overall their deskjet & officejet printers seem fantastic to me. I use about 1000 pages per month.
I had a photosmart 7550 that only lasted about 2-3 years before paper handling issues developed, but still, it's cost was pretty low to start with, and I had fantastic quality for 2 years of moderate heavy use.

That caused me to SHOP AROUND A TON before buying this 1200D. I was tempted to try Canon inkjet or an Oki color laser. But I'm very satisfied with this 1200D.

Not Worth the Effort.......2005-08-05

Setting this up was a disaster. Very poor documentation, it took twenty minutes to figure out even how to open the cartridges. Then all hell broke loose, it refused to recognize them, and HP's 24/7 phone support turns out to be only 12 hours a day for inkjet printers. After 5 hours of struggling, I went to bed, called the next morning, and finally ascertained the wrong cartridges shipped with the printer. On the plus side, both HP and Staples were more than willing to exchange it, but the Staples manager also told me a lot of people have trouble with these cartridges.

Five years!.......2005-09-17

This was my first and only PDA for five years. It served me long and well, without once failing. If you are looking for a basic, reliable, PDA this provides excellent value for the money. To protect it, it is essential to get a good protective case (I used a Rhinoskin), and to have screen protectors (I used WriteRight from Fellowes) at all times. Note that you have to keep it supplied with AAA batteries (always keep a spare pair handy), but unlike my friends who bought a rechargeable PDA whose battery finally died after 2-3 years, this one kept on going.

It is still functioning. I retired it in favor of a Tungsten E2.

Excellent value for the money.......2007-09-24

I've owned several pairs of binoculars over the years, and these are by far the best at anywhere near the price. The image is sharp, colors are accurate and the relief for eyeglass wearers is the best I've seen. I recommend them without reservation.

Excellent.......2006-10-18

This binocular was rated No 1 in the Cornell winter 2005 review of birding binocular in the economy class and it certainly desreves its No 1 spot. In this price range it is simple the best binocular for the begining birder, the budding sports fan. Being fully rubber armored and fully water proof they make very good hunting binoculars as well. The field of view is simply the widest i have ever seen. They are slightly on the heavier side at 28 oz, but the weight distribution is such that they feel much lighter than many 23-25 oz roof prisim binoculars. Eye glass wearers will also not have nay problem with these and the feature 17 mm + of eye relief and twist up eye cup with detents and feature not normally found in binoculars of this price range.

The only negative about these binoculars is that the eye piece cover is a bit to tight fitting and take a bit of effort to take off, but thats not much of negative considering all the other positives.

Highly recommended.
