HP D1560 Deskjet Printer

Great printer for the price and exceedingly easy to set up. It does the job for what I need. I save color cartridges by using the black cartridge for most printing jobs.I have no problems and it's a great printer for just printing. Takes up little space under my computer table.

Printer works so far, but no ink cartridges were included, as the description of the product promised! Why?

The product features have been suitably described by others and I can only add that if you are looking for a very simple and effective printer for a relatively light duty,(say 20 pages a month) this model offers good value for the price. Although ink cartridges are readily available for this model, it is no longer supported by HP.If you use Windows 7 or higher you may have to download the driver from the Web since the CD supplied with the printer does not include a driver compatible with these versions. Likewise, if you wish to access the copy of the user's manual from the CD, your computer must be compatible with either Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or the Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4, or v10.5 My printer was delivered with one of the 2 plastic pins securing the paper tray broken; this breakage could have been prevented by securing the plastic tray to the body of the printer with some adhesive tape.

This little guy does just what I need. It prints quickly and quietly. This is for my home use, so I don't require huge demands from it. Just one warning, if you are replacing a dead printer with this one, keep your USB printer cord as this didn't come with one. I'm glad I kept everything until this arrived.

I've never met a printer under $100 that I didn't have to baby-sit, especially in terms of thick stock. I have been printing greeting cards on thick stock, and manually making sure the printer grabs each page by putting pressure on the front of the paper. I have also had difficulty printing thick photo-paper on the D1560. For the $50 I spent at Staples, I guess that should be expected. It is fine for normal paper.I just wish HP, Epson, etc... would include "Human assistance required for thick stock" on the box for their cheaper printers.One other annoyance: this particular printer has very small ink cartridges. Though they seem cheaper, you'll be replacing them more often.

this printer is great for the price. i purchase this printer to installed it in my work truck and let me tell you it is not too big and it gets the work done. i almost buy a expenssive one for over 100.00 i am glad i didn't

Okay. So I get this printer. Finally, I have time to take it out of the box and use it. Unfortunately, someone put a used black ink cartridge in it; and tried to pass it off as being a new one. There was a piece of tape over the little copper-looking strips, an obvious "red flag" but I thought "no..nobody would dare do such a thing. WRONG!!!" As a writer working on my 5th book, a novel, this really pisses me off. Never again will I order anymore electronics or any other business-related items from Amazon. I never have such issues when ordering through and from Wal-Mart.com

To get the newest model of HP's Deskjets, I paid Amazon top dollar ($81.99 plus shipping) for this basic printer, model D1560. Upon installing the two cartridges, types 22 (color) and 21 (black), the display on the computer indicated that the black cartridge was defective. I had ordered another one and opened and tried that one. Also defective! After consulting with 3 technicians, we drew the conclusion that there are TWO TYPES OF CARTRIDGE NO. 21: one with a black label and one with a white label. The printer has a sensor that can tell the difference. This model takes both cartridges with white labels, but what was shipped with the unit was the correct color cartridge and the incorrect black one. I bought the correct one locally, although the number of this new model, D1560, is not printed on the box. Apparently, if the box says D1460 (among many other numbers), as my correct cartridge's box does, it is probably the right one for D1560. This is not at all indicated to Amazon's customers in the information on either the printer or the cartridges. I give it a 3-star evaluation due to this HUGE inconvenience and expense. But now with the right cartridge, it works fine (at least on the first page so far).
