Digital camera reviews of HP Deskjet F380 All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier
Digital camera Review: "Get what you paid for" = "Get bent over"?
Summary: 1 Stars
To put it mildly, this thing sucks.
Some have commented that the cartridges are cheap. There's a reason for that - they hardly hold any ink. I just finished printing about a hundred pages of text on fast-draft from a new black & white cartridge, and it's nearly empty. I would hardly call $15 for 100 - 150 pages printed on fast-draft "cheap"! And neither would I call the color cartridge I bought that wouldn't function after two weeks of non-use "cheap" either.
(*UPDATED*)
I've since found that if I let the color cartridge sit for just a few days without use, it clogs up and requires intensive cleaning to get it working again. Of course, intensive cleaning means wasting a good quantity of ink. And to clean the color cartridge, you have to clean the black cartridge at the same time, so good ink gets wasted for nothing.
HP used to make good printers, INCLUDING cheap printers. So, I'll never believe this thing is a "value" at the price. I don't need fancy features; I just need it to work and not rip me off.
(*UPDATED*)
And when I said I had just finished printing a hundred pages, it wasn't a simple matter of just printing the pages, by any stretch. Instead, it was a matter of printing some, pulling out the stack of paper it tried to pull through at once, clearing the print queue, unplugging the printer, waiting, plugging it back in and turning it on, seeing if Windows detected it, and then either managing to get a bit more printed or unplugging the printer and plugging it in again. All of this to print just a hundred pages!
Beyond that, the output tray is so screwy that you have to watch it like a hawk, especially on fast-draft, or you'll have even more jams. This is because the papers get thrown out but not clear and not stacked neat, so some will go over the top of the previous page, or under the previous page, or just catch on the previous page and cause a chain reaction and cause the thing to jam. Or if that doesn't happen, it will get pulled back in by the input, and cause a jam that way.
So, I'd have to say this thing has no redeemable qualities, INCLUDING THE PRICE. It's just a way to sink into your jugular to drain you on ink costs. "Getting what you paid for" should NOT mean "Getting bent over." or "Be happy with garbage because it was cheap."
