Software Problems
on May 22, 2008
Posted by: jmcems
Gender:Female
Bought the Printer because of the wireless connection and the multiple function. It took 3 times to install the printer -- after the 2nd time downloaded the driver from the HP site - this has worked better. It also worked faster. The wireless connection is great with my laptop. So far speed has not been a problem. Overall great printer - just the install problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

GREAT PRINTER
on June 5, 2008
Posted by: GrammaOni
Gender:Female
This is the second HP all-in-one that I have had, my older printer finally went to printer heaven. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars across the board is that the printer does shake some when printing, copying, etc. etc. however the quality of the photo printing more than makes up for the shaking. Also, I did have some trouble completing the installation but after calling tech support, everything was fixed in a matter of minutes, (just needed to delete the old printer stuff).
I would recommend this to a friend!

C7250
on June 6, 2008
Posted by: Steveg
This printer goes off line randomly and is at least weekly, not recognized by the other network(ethernt) PPCs . It is by far the worst printer I have owned in 15 years of using HP printers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't Love this One
on July 1, 2008

Gender:Female
I use the C7280 in my home office and often use a 67# paper. The printer grabs the paper and leaves pinch marks on the top edge. It also has trouble aligning the paper so the print comes out lopsided.I have to reload paper often due to the small storage place for paper. It's very, very slow but I am hoping to learn to like it. It shakes my desk as it groans through its printing. I came to this website to find a printer that I would like better because HP comes very well recommended. The photo printing quality is great and it promises other great features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall Excellent Value When on Sale
on July 21, 2008

I caught this on sale on the HP site about a month ago for $179.99 and I grabbed it. Overall, I'm satisfied and it's certainly a good value at that price.
The main problem I have with this printer is that the photos print with too much of a yellowish tint compared to what's seen on the screen. The same thing happens when scanning photos. The HP tech person took control of my computer remotely, and checked some things then concluded that I needed a replacement printer. The replacement was sent without any charges, but the results are the same. I can compensate to some degree using the limited color adjustment in the printing software. It's just annoying that the primary feature of this printer (being a "photosmart") is supposed to be lab quality photo prints, and that is where it performs the worst. I actually use the other all-in-one features more than I print photos, so I can live with it.
Another con that others have mentioned is that it is very noisy. It goes through some noisy gyrations when starting up each time, and it's somewhat noisy when printing. But the noise is not a concern for me.
The duplex feature is nice, but it does not allow for duplex when copying; only when printing.
I have a combination wired/wireless router and the printer is working both on my desktop via the ethernet cable and on my laptop wirelessly so that is nice.
Overall, I'm satisifed with the features and performance of this printer, except for the poor color reproduction when printing photos. I can't believe they would let a product get out with this defect, so maybe there is something wrong with the software or my system somewhere. My previous cheap HP 5150 printed better quality photos but it was not an all-in-one.

Hot item and using it is simple

When advertised most things only operate at 75%, and works properly half the time.Well, the HP C7280 All in One does what they say and then some, and it is so, simple too operate that I believe a three year old could be showed how too use it and could use it as well as anyone can. Its just fantastic, I love mine and wouldn't trade it for anything else!!!!!!!! Tonster

Excellent but for the runny ink
on September 12, 2008
Posted by: T1g3r
Gender:Female
Excellent multifuction machine for photos and home business. Unfortunately the ink runs too quickly with a drop of water the document is ruined. Luckily it copies scans and faxes quickly. This I find to be a short. I've had lots of ink jet printers and the ink is very water soluble. Also it'll print double sided. Too bad it doesn't have duplex scanning. WiFi is the biggest plus.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great printer

I purchased the HP C7250 printer to replace a Photosmart 1000. Being this is an all in one, there is no comparison. The quality of pictures are beyond expectations.
I also purchased a HP DV7- 1175nr laptop and now I havbe a wireless printer that I can use from anywhere in my home.
This printer is the best of my previou three HP printers.
