Customer Reviews

Fast, quiet, high-quality little printer
I've been using this for about a month now for my small business. The quality and speed are wonderful. It's quiet and prints black like a laser printer. The quality is THAT good. The color is on par with the best Epson photo printers and excels when using high-end, glossy super-bright HP paper. The photo quality with the optional photo inks is amazing. Even with the standard inks the photo print quality is superb. Installation is super easy and can be completed by even a novice with HP's "Quick Start" sheet included with the printer. XP loved it and recognized with no problem.

My only complaint is the paper tray only holds 100 sheets and the paper path is curved so is not ideal for some adhesive-backed labels and form types and for thicker stock. Some grabbing has happened. But overall it is an excellent printer fully at home with everything from full-color graphics (I do graphics design) to more mundane black text-based forms, letters and invoices. I love it. Small and low profile too. I HATE the stupid sticker that HP puts on the lid that DOES NOT come off with anything that won't damage the glossy plastic finish. Don't advertise to me on something I already bought and PLEASE make that sticker removable. It's really ugly. Other than that it's great.

good but the ink
I'm a college student and decided to get my own printer for my room because I was tired of going to the living room computer to print out my schoolwork. So far, the 5440 has been good to me, but I have one problem: The black ink smudges when I print on soft gloss or high gloss photo paper. Am I supposed to use HP Photo papers? I didn't have this problem with my old Hp deskjet printer. I waited for the next day and it still smudged. that's my only complaint. UPDATE: it smudges on kodak soft gloss paper.

Great printer
I just got this printer and I'm impressed. The quality and speed are very good. When I use Fast Draft mode, it prints like my old printer (an Epson Stylus Color 880) did in normal mode. There's no lines and I really recommend this printer, especially if you are a student looking for a cheap alternative to paying for printing in your university computer lab (10 cents a page at my university).
