"MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT - THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING!"
Pros: WOULD BE THE PERFECT MACHINE IF IT MET EXPECTATIONS
Cons: EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE, NOISY, SLOW, HUGE, POOR FUNCTION
Summary: Cost: My B&W 3330 cost me about $65 per month to operate. The color 2840 is running $250 for the same production. If you buy, be sure to print B&W unless you NEED color. The print drum counts each color on each page when calculating it's life (20,000 copies). My drum ($175 retail) was used up at 8,000 copies.
FUNCTION: The machine jams constantly - at a couple times a day. Other times it crumples paper. It usually has to be shut down to clear the paper jam error message (time consuming).
SLOW & NOISY: The way the color cartridges spin in the machine make it noisy and slow to begin a print job.
SIZE: We affectionatly call it the "refrigerator."
COMMENTS: I've had at least five HP printers in the past 10-12 years, all of which I've loved. This is a huge disappointment. After paying $950 (plus $500 in supplies) - with only 8,000 copies made - HP is offering me a whopping $296 as a trade-in.
