Title: Terrible - purchase a different printer
Review: Brevity, will suffice. Numerous other reviewers have accurately pinpointed the problems. The machine consistently crashed about every three months. After a year it completely shut down - formatting board. With the extended warranty HP, was able to send me a replacement. Refurbished, not new! As I recall, it still cost me $50. The skin was marred/scratched in several places. Yet, it does seem to "boom along" as required. Off-brand replacement cartridges will not work in this machine. I chatted with the techies about this issue and they said the built-in, proprietary smart chip prevents their utilization. Purchased a HP cartridge from Amazon. Works great, print fades after 900 pages - can't be fixed. Not a good choice for home or small office. Looking for an alternative printer.
