Review on HP Deskjet 3000 Printer(CH393A#B1H): Fast, Affordable and Reliable Printing Solution by Jay Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good little printer with poor instructions

Good value printer. For normal use, it will get the job done. I paid $43 for it. As of this writing, it's on sale for a few dollars more. The main problem is that it is a wireless printer with incorrect or unclear setup instructions. If all your computers are connected to the wireless network, you won't have any problems. However, if it's wired to your router and you follow the instructions on how to use the wireless network, you'll run into trouble. You must install the printer software on each computer. You must select "USB" for the wired computer and "Wireless" for others on your network. If you select "Wireless" for the wrong computer, your system will crash. What happens is that two devices appear on your network with the same IP address. To fix this, you must uninstall the printer software on the wired computer and reinstall it by selecting USB. restart the machine. The easiest way to avoid the problem. I can't say for sure that every computer will have this problem, but mine did. The short setup instructions that came with the device say nothing about this.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Not bad but...
