HP Printer: 5 Series HP Officejet Special Deal

Here is the top 5 HP Officejet series the office HP printer with special deal I found on NewEgg,

1. HP Officejet Pro L7680 Thermal Inkjet All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Very fast and nice printer if it would work properly out of box. I will have to try to purchase a new print head. Hopefully that will fix my problem because I do not want to be out of a lot of money.

Cons: Black and Yellow printhead problem. The black it leaves blank areas about an inch apart on page. All of the colors will print in that area. So I am betting on the printhead changeout will fix it.

2. HP Officejet Pro L7590 Thermal Inkjet MFC All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Very good low cost network printer. Have it in a home office with 3 PC using it for printing and scanning using Vista and XP. Scans and copies in duplex with excellent quality

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Cost of printing is about the best you will get for a inkjet printer. Download the latest drivers from HP and install only the basic set.

3. HP Officejet Pro 8000 InkJet Workgroup Color Printer

Pros: I bought Model CB092A locally for less. Assembly simple using provided chart. Looks, feels, like HP Office quality. I downloaded PDF instructions from HP site; while probably in compressed form on CD, never found on CD. Network assigned IP instantly, printer printed net info page, browser found the Embedded Web Server (EWS) instantly. Using Vista I only need to Add Printer; used CD to load the driver and did not "load software"(junkware?). No features are lacking to the workstations because EWS is so full-featured. Instructions are less clear there, but that is what we do for Vista. (XP looks similar but more install specified.) I have wireless network already, thanks HP for offering this w/o wireless. Detailed usage info available in the EWS for 10 users, last 10 jobs, and total. For workgroup use, this is OK. It prints photos quickly but it’s not a photo printer. Good enough for the 4x6 presentation paper ones I have done. Printheads are separately-replaceable from ink cartridges.

Cons: EWS menu structure is nonsensical. Usage Tracking is under "Settings" instead of "Information" where similar (duplicated?) usage info is. Some meaning of items is unclear and unexplained. (HP, please update.) Using current firmware version BZM1FN0842AR there are problems with dates displayed in the EWS which support could not correct so we requested firmware update. The printer gets current date from DHCP and displays it correctly in EWS, but the installation dates for printheads and the start date for usage tracking are “Unknown.” The ink cartridge installation dates display as the week before I bought the printer but I installed them. EWS's Printer head warranty dates don't match what's printed on the head, but they're close. I expect the printer runs past those dates next fall. EWS sends email for problem alerts but not for routine usage info (HP, please add that).

4. HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless InkJet All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: looks good

Cons: doesn't fax, doesn't scan
Error: "hposfx08 : Cannot create DIHPAiOFaxManager object"
Tech support is incompetent, points to wrong registry key, have no idea whatsoever how to fix the problem.
I contacted them 9 (nine) times and asked for a specific solution and/or to escalate the trouble ticket.
The outsourced tech support was UNABLE to:
- provide a logical cause of the error;
- provide a solution to fix the error message and use the machine;
- refer me to a tech that actually knows about the problem.
Do a search for this error code and you will get some posts as early as 2005 with this kind of error message (but on different printer).
I installed the printer on another 2 (TWO) computers, all running Window XP SP3 and I got:
- scanner errors (from HP software). Same scan job works perfectly from Adobe Acrobat Pro.
- fax errors (fax gets disconnected after one try of faxing. No error message code but announce the disconnect and asks to restart the computer, restart the HP).
