HP PSC 2110 Multifunction

Product Review

The HP PSC 2110 is a multifunction solution for users who need color printing, scanning, and copying functions in one machine. And it's easy to use--even novices will appreciate the unit's intuitive buttons for the most common tasks.

Prints are sharp, with up to 4,800 x 1,200 optimized color dpi (using premium photo papers) and 1,200 x 1,200 input dpi when printing from a computer. Laser-quality black text prints at 14 pages per minute (ppm). The PSC 2110 can print borderless 4-by-6-inch photos, and its ink-backup printing mode completes the print job even if one cartridge runs out.

For scan and copy functions, the flatbed design accepts a wide variety of original documents, including books and 3-D objects. This model can copy at 14 copies per minute (cpm) in black and 10 cpm in color. Scanning with 1,200 x 2,400 dpi optical resolution, the PSC 2110 also features a one-touch front-panel scan button so users can easily share photos and documents by sending attachments directly through e-mail.

For users with demanding color needs, the PSC 2110 supports a six-ink color option, using the optional HP 58 photo inkjet print cartridge. The unit is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

A great value and quality, October 7, 2002

I originally purchased a HP PSC 750 after testing the quality of the copying and printing capabilities in the store, but I couldn't test the scan features until I got home. Well, I do graphics for a living and the quality of the scan (16-bits) wasn't cutting it, so back to the store I went. This time HP had a representative in the store, so we got down to talking scanning spec's. Only he was able to tell me that the HP PSC 2110 scanned color at 48-bits vs the HP PSC 750 at 16-bits, but that I would not find the quality as good as a stand alone HP scanner (64-bits), but the 2110 was 3 times better than 750. Long story short, the scan quality is great and is very close to the quality of the stand alone scanner. BUT, make sure you install the software and add the hardware in the correct order, if not the device/drivers will cause a conflict when you try to load windows and will freeze your system. I have Windows 98 SE.

Lighting Fast Printing... But a Unit Not Without Its Issues, March 23, 2003

I was given the HP PSC 2110 multifunction printer after my sister repossessed my highly reliable and well liked Lexmark X-83 multifunction. The story is, my Lexmark was sitting idly for a few months when my sister got it in her head she really wanted a printer. And why go buy a printer when you can just "borrow" her brother's. Well, my sister is a computer neophyte and when I saw that she managed to install the drivers and correctly hook up the printer turning it into a fixture with her computer system, I just did not have the heart to reclaim the printer.Well, then when my printing needs required a printer, I was given the HP PSC 2110 multifunction. The best way to proceed is to outline the topics.Speed - Excellent speed. The "fast draft" quality still looks better than previous generation dpi quality and "fast draft" is ridiculously fast. No complaints on speed.Installation - No problem on the install. It did put some goofy icons on the desktop...Read more

Very satisfied with this sub $ multifunction, July 8, 2003

Bought this a few weeks ago to replace an HP DeskJet (still worked but slow). I have been very pleased with it so far. Installed it on an XP system without any problems. As with most USB devices, be sure to follow the directions when installing. We use it primarily as a printer and also make copies. Copy quality is good and you can easily select fast, normal or best quality and copy in black/white or color - all from the devices control panel. Note that the 2110 does not have a sheet feeder. Also, remember to get a USB cable since one isn't included in the box. If you're doing a lot of scanning, I'd suggest getting separate products. I've experimented a little with the scanner but gave up and used my Epson Perfection 1640 Office (a great scanner) instead which is faster, has a legal size bed and has a sheet feeder. If you're doing much OCR, you'll want to get a program like TextBridge Pro (under $) or if you're really serious, OmniPage Pro (around $).I've been very...Read more
