What do I do with $200 worth of useless cartridges?
2007-07-16
 |
It worked for years, nicely printing many photos but...
Problems:
If for some reason if the Mac or PC didn't understand what 4x6 was, the printer would go ahead and print full width even when I had 4x6 photo paper loaded, it would basically spread ink all over the innards making a mess which I couldn't clean up, occasionally leaving black smudges on other prints.
Printing via Mac or PC was always a gamble. I never knew if it would actually print the size I wanted, costing time, and ink.
One day recently, the printer stopped working. It stopped feeding paper. Tech support chat Charles said it would be cheaper to buy a new printer than fix it. They suggested a bunch of printers > $100. But they wouldn't take back the $200 worth of cartridges I was expecting to use on my dead printer. I wouldn't get another printer that uses these cartridges since they don't have separate color ink cartridges, which is a smarter way to go, especially when they cost way too much.
I don't feel right about throwing away this printer. Nor do I think it's fair that we have to pay this expensive subscription to print cartridges for the shoddy products. It's an ingenious way to make money, but enough is enough.
I don't appreciate the cost of these cartridges. I think we're subsidizing their crummy products. I don't want to buy a printer every three years of infrequent use. I want a printer that works well and a warranty to back it up and cartridges that cost what they should. |

not bad for what I paid

| I got this printer new for $50 over a year ago and I am pretty happy with it as far as printing photos go. It would be a lousy printer if it was the only one I had and I needed to print out other jobs because it tends to print one page then I have to go through a bunch of troubleshooting to get it to do another page. I only print occasional photos on this printer and it does beautiful work there. I am also amazed that the ink that came with it is still being used after all this time. My previous inkjet printer was an Epson and the ink would dry up if I didn't print something once a week. |

Need a Reliable printer? Look elsewhere, no durability here

I've had the HP Photosmart 7260 for about one year and have experienced similar problems: Cradle sticking, Paper jamming, etc. Envelopes never print straight.
Last night the printer decided to no longer accept the ink cartridges (which are new) and the cradle is stuck. I expect a printer to last longer than this and was dissapointed given the repuation of HP.
This wouldn't be such a problem, but I operate a small home business relying on this printer and this is more than inconvenient. I wish these corporations could stand behind a product. |

Don't know what everyone else is complaining about . . .

I have owned the 7260 for roughly 2 years, I use it as the primary photo printer for my photography business and have not had the experience that everyone else seems to be having. I think the main problem is that people are purching the 7260 for use as a document printer, which it is not. The name is very descriptive of the printer's primary function: PHOTOsmart. I have a second printer (HP deskjet 3850) for dedicated document printing. I have printed hundreds of pages with this printer with very few problems.
The only trouble I have had is that the 7260 isn't recognized when plugged into my new workstation (a Compaq SR1630NX). I have to force it to recognize it using brute force and ignorance, but am able to get it to work. |

| My girlfriend and I used this printer for less than a year before it began to give us paper troubles. It started by losing its alignment and then began to mangle the paper on its way through the printer. We both need to print plain boarding passes so you can imagine the trouble this causes when the scanners at the airports can't read the printed pass. We recommend that you pay a little extra and get a printer that isn't made to last a day longer than its warranty. |
