Customer Reviews

Printer HP F4280
We bought two of these to replace two HP PSC 1610's three wks ago - so far so good. The PSC's worked for us for 3-4 yrs and by now they both sounded too tired and ready to die.
Ink cartridges: Buy the "XL" versions, stands for extra large I guess. Better price per page and less trips to the store.

Installation: A breeze. For the ones who had problems: FOLLOW THE EXACT DIRECTIONS, not what YOU think is the right way :-) BTW, if I thought the installation of the PSC 1610 was long...this one is REALLY long. Was it an hour? Or it seems it was.

The HP F4280 is a lot quieter than the PSC 1610 and reasonably fast. Except at the printing start: For some reason after you hit "Print" it takes 3-5 seconds of "Nothing is Happening". Can this silly problem be corrected?? I ended up with some duplicate documents, but now I know better.
Save ink and time: Set your default at "Fast Draft" - it makes a very respectable copy at that setting.

Scanning: I think it is a little faster than the PSC 1610 and at the default setting of 200dpi the results are very good. I tried the 600dpi, slight difference on the monitor, but I'm sure it makes a better printed copy.

OVERALL: A great printer for the price.

Tech Support is Stumped
This All-in-One (AiO) was purchased for several reasons, the main one was compatibility with Windows Vista.
All was fine for a short period until scanning in greyscale was attempted. There is a bug in the hp scanning software. The AiO will scan in greyscale if another application is used to "import" from the scanner. This issue has been escalated to an engineering team for resolution.
The printer will also hang up the ink cartridges so they cannot move across the paper to print once in awhile.
This printer was selected over Canon, Kodak, Brother, etc. because it has the print heads on the ink supply and they get replaced with a new ink cartridge - that decision I stand by.
This is my 2nd hp AiO, the other is a 1350v which will never be Vista compatible.

HP F4280
The HP F4280 so far so good. It prints resonably fast in both black and color. It's not noisy and doesn't seem to use as much ink as others claimed. The replacement ink cartridges also don't seem to be excessively expensive. I would rate it as very good for the price.
