Piece of junk,

This review is from: HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One - Multifunction ( printer / copier / scanner ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 16 ppm (mono) / 12 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 16 ppm (mono) / 12 ppm (color) - 60 sheets - Hi-Speed USB (Electronics)
I bought this printer in Jan. 2011 and it was broken 3 months later. It got a paper jam one day and never fed paper into the printer properly after that. It pulls to one side each time you try to print and then jams. It felt very flimsy from the first day I got it, so I guess I didn't expect it to last for years...thought it would last longer than 3 months though. Ink cartridges run dry very fast too. They are very small and feel light compared with my last HP printer's cartridges (which I've had for over 8 years by the way, and the printer still works). I have to say the scanner worked well for me and made great copies while it lasted. I wouldn't buy this printer again.

My Epson printer died on me in the middle of a project. So I pulled out my old Brother all-in-one printer but the ink head was messed up. Tried cleaning it, no luck there. So I started to research some printers and found this printer at first on Amazon and then located one for sale at Target for $40 bucks. Mine did come with a usb cable and the printer surprisingly included XL cartridges. I have a Windows XP System and the s/w loaded perfectly. Now I was finally able to get my project finished. The print quality is very good considering it only has 4 colors. And I'm done spending money on expensive printers. The Epson printer would still be working if the printer ROM hadn't said the printer was at end of life. I paid a lot of money for that printer and just because I printed a lot of documents on it I was penalized by Epson. I tried to reset the counter on the darn thing but nothing would work. I will never ever buy another Epson again. As far as the Brother All-In-One...Read more

I bought mine at walmart online for $34 + s/h costs for a total of $41 in early January this year and i thought i was getting a deal but it was NOT a deal. I barely even used my printer on a regular basis yet in just 2 months, the paper would jam and the plastic mechanism rollers that were supposed to roll the paper into the printer wouldn't even work. The printer didn't come with a cable to connect it to the computer. For anyone who's gotten this machine or any other electronics and can't return it back to the store because it's past the 30-day return policy, there's usually a 1-year manufacturer warranty. As long as you bought it new from an authorized retailer like the big box stores and filled out the registration for it in the beginning with HP (or you've still got receipts to prove you bought it within a year), just call up their tech support at HP and in the end, they'll have to replace it free of charge which is what happened when I called them. They were really nice and...Read more
