Anyone have a HP PSC 1210v "all in one"?
I am thinking about buying this all in one. If you own one and have
experience with it I would appreciate any comments you might have about it. |

I have just purchased the all in one p.s.c and find the size and ease of use
are great, but the only drawback, (as far as i am concerned anyway) is that to print text in greyscale(black) you have to remove the colour cartridge,because the p.s.c default is colour,and you are unable to change it, i have been in touch with hp tech site and was informed that the hp1205 is mostly a photo machine,and i would have to indeed get used to swapping cartridges for text/photos printing its a pity because it seems a nice machine for the price of £99 complete with inks |

I had one for less than a month when it malfunctioned. Pages would start
printing too early, that is, there would be absolutely no margin at the top of each page. Not a software problem. Returned it. Blacks were fine, nice and dark. Colors were OK too. I would say just buy a regular printer if you don't use the scanner very often. You can get one real cheap if you look. wrote in message ... I am thinking about buying this all in one.

I have a HP PSC 1210. The price is good at 99$+tax canadian (after 50$ mail-in rebate from CompuSmart).
The drawbacks: - No networking (can't share the printer to print from another computer than the one it's connected to) - No greyscale - USB only - No way to print double sided - installation forces you to install a whole suite of software including a bunch of tray apps that crash when the computer wakes up from power-saving mode - when photocopying pictures, the skin colors are too red Otherwise it's a nice little printer. wrote in message ... I would appreciate it if you would explain what you mean. I don't have the background and knowledge to understand what you mean about greyscale(black). I have printed letters and they come out black(not in color). Does this per chance mean that when you print black you are actually using the color ink in a mixture that produces black? If so, why do they even have black ink and when would it be printed? As you can see, I know very little about the technology. Do you have the 1210 or the 1205?
