HP Deskjet 5850 Review

by Dan Littman

- The Deskjet 5850 has some office-friendly features that are unusual in an inkjet printer and help justify its $250 price tag. The 5850's standard equipment includes an ethernet port and built-in 802.11b/.11g Wi-Fi wireless networking; a blue light flashes when the printer receives a wireless print job. The ethernet port sits next to the USB port on the back. Office users may spend $95 more for a duplexer and another $80 for a 250-sheet paper tray that boosts capacity to 400 sheets.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: None - it didn't even work well when it was right out of the box.

Weaknesses: Not easy to set up with Mac OSX - it works OK - when it reads the router - which isn't very often.

Overall Evaluation: I use both Windos XP and Mac OSX - half the time neither OS can read the printer. I always get errors saying the printer is not available or the power to the printer will shut off. I will unplug the printer from the outlet for 3-5 minutes and plug back in - it still will not come back on. I will never buh another HP Printer - stick to Lexmark!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy to set up; wireless freedom

Weaknesses: Too expensive to keep

Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer when it?s on sale. It?s very easy to set up. And the printing quality is excellent. The wireless function makes it even more convenient. However, only use it occasionally due to the high cost of inks.
