Good All-in-One for the Price,
August 6, 2004 Parent of a College Bound Student (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP PSC 1315 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)
short story - great unit for the price. Great printing and scanning and acceptable copying.
long story - I originally bought this unit on the spur of the moment due to a great deal. It's an HP so I thought it would be great based upon past experience. I got back home, read the other reviewers, and second-guessed my decision. I would have taken it back, unopen, but my college-bound daughter was very excited about the scanning and copying. I'm a long term IT Professional so I decided to give it a try, very hesitantly, on her brand new PC.
Setup was not difficult at all. Clear instructions were included although it clearly says NOT to connect to your computer until you have the software fully loaded. Not sure what happens if you don't read! I did think the sofware installation took quite a while on a brand new, high-end PC, but it didn't give me any issues.
Immediately, my daugher began copying, scanning, editing, and printing. The printing is...Read more

A good value in a very compact package,
July 22, 2004 J. King "Colormonger" (Birmingham, MI United States) - See all my reviews

My experience with this unit is very different from the previous posters.
I bought this nodel because I couldn't find the cheaper 1210 model in stock, and I'm glad I did, (...). It worked flawlessly right out of the box with my Mac PowerBook computer, and I'm very satisfied with the print and copy quality. Even photos look great on plain paper (I haven't tried printing on photo paper yet). It prints somewhat faster than the 1210 model but is otherwise quite similar. The compact size is a real plus, especially when using it with a laptop, as moving it around is very easy.
I rate it at 5 stars, not because it's the best printer/copier/scanner out there, but because its combination of reasonable quality, ease of use, compact size, and affordable price hit the "sweet spot" for me.

Great once you figure out the paper selector feature,

I WOULD RECOMMEND BUYING THIS MODEL but wished I had read a review like this one first to save me a bunch of time - which, is why I write this. I hope it helps...
First, I bought this as a factory reconditioned item January 4th, 2005 at Staples. Normally, I would never consider buying a reconditioned printer, but at $70.00 USD, what the heck - Staples is easy going and never gave me any return problems.
CAUTION - this printer (or any other - anymore) DOES NOT COME WITH THE USB CABLE. You must buy it seperately.
FIRST TIME SET-UP: I have learned from years of frustration with HP drivers, it is just easier to get the quick hookup sheet and follow it exactly as it says. Even if you are a computer expert, save yourself the hassles, swallow your pride, and use the hookup sheet. Many of the other review posts I've read that complain about problems after installation, would not have had any problems if they just followed this simple rule. The...Read more
