The best printer I ever had was an HP 930. I know HP has declined in reviews over and over, but still... that was the best ever. The magazine review wondered why people still buy HP's when they have such low ratings. Its because when after years of awful printers you have the BEST printer ever, then you will keep going back to what was, at one point, the best.
I need to make a huge shift in thinking and perhaps go for Canon. But I STILL have this piece of my heart that says HP is the best. Sorry. But thats a fact of life.
BTW my last HP printer was a total disaster. I'm very sad about it.

I bought a HP multifunction 6500 I think (its at work). It is an atrocious printer and the scanner feature does not work with Windows 7 64bit - pity it didnt say that on the box. Its noisy and shakes and the wireless feature is a pain to setup. STAY CLEAR of HP.
Yes try Canon but be wary of ink costs.

We bought an HP Officejet Pro 8500 in September 2010. It broke down in a matter of weeks. A long conversation on a premium rate phone line produced a replacement macine. It broke down. So did the next replacement. All this in some 2 months. The 2nd and 3rd machines replacing my new one carried manufacturing dates on the back over a year old. They were refurbished machines. Apparently, HP is at liberty to do this if the machine breaks down more than 28 days after the purchace date. Just for the record, the machine is noisy and the cartridges are hard to load. The UK MD's office has failed to reply to 2 e-mails about my experience. Quality and customer seervice are extremely poor. Buy HP products at your peril

I bought a HP309 about a year ago. I bought it primarilly to print on CDs. At first it did not work. After a long talk with a tech I was advised to load a driver for a 5300. It worked, but every time I turn it on it spends an infinity making noises before it is ready to print. It again emits a huge number of grunts and squeaks before it starts to actually print. It has now decided not to print on CDs. Instead, it makes a lot of noise, the tray goes in, the tray goes out, over and over again. At times when the tray is out it sounds like it is printing (on to thin air, I guess?). Eventually it stops and tells me I have an error (but not what error). When the damn things does work, near new ink tanks are miraculously near empty.
Can anyone suggest a decent CD printer. I had a Canon before, and it too became overly tempremental very quickly.
