The integrated memory allows you to print high-capacity jobs by simply pressing the print button and allowing the printer to handle all of the hard work.
Reviews
By: Leon M. Bodevin “Do right and fear no man”Bought this printer to use while deployed out of the US. I just needed a basic printer that would last me a year. I find the print quality to be better than I expected it to be and it can churn it out pretty quickly if you put it on the low quality setting. It is also very quiet. Don’t know if it will stay that way but so far so good. One bad thing: it sucks down those black ink cartridges faster than you would think it would. For someone just needing a basic printer though with good print quality this should fit the bill.
By: M. C. TorresI got this printer because its cheap, the ink was affordable, and I trust HP. I’ve been using HP printers for 6 or 7 years now and have had no problems. I needed an affordable compact printer for a dorm room, and this fit the bill. The print quality is very nice, I find it to have a good print speed. I haven’t had any problems with it like I have seen other reviewers complaining about, and I don’t foresee any. I’d recommend this for someone that just wants something that prints with nothing fancy.

I ordered several of these for the school at which I work. The printer is nothing fancy, but it is very inexpensive and “just works.” It does not come with a black ink cartridge, but it can still print black by mixing ink from the color cartridge (though it resembles a very very dark brown rather than black).
I consider this a feature — if the black ink runs out (once you purchase a black cartridge), the printer is still fully functional even if the black ink cartridge runs out.
Amazon had by far the best price on this printer (never underestimate the value of free shipping!) and their service has always been top-notch.
Rated 5 stars, taking into account the low cost of this basic printer.
