User Reviews for HP Business Inkjet 2300

  • Reviewed by: dstocke

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Overall design and quality

    Weaknesses: ink cartridges

    Overall Evaluation: 1 month ago I would have given this printer a 10 now a 4 due to HP wisdom of not trusting anyone. All 4 of my printers ink cartridges stopped working due to a expiration chip that timed out, this cost me the price of a new printer. I'm very upset at the lack of trust HP has towards it consumers and I would advise staying away from this product. So do your self a favor and run a search on the web about the chips found in the ink cartridges and the pitfalls that others have ran across if I would have read about them prior to buying the printer from HP I would have gone with another brand.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: none

    Weaknesses: everything. paper feed issues, the gears grind, the carriage actually hits the eject arms and gets bound up.

    Overall Evaluation: this thing has been nothing but headaches. the poor girls I have using it call me 3 times a day with problems. the ejector arms have been broken off from the carriage hitting, paper feed jams constantly.. i don't recommend this thing at all. I have had nothing but problems with hp in the last 2 years - their printers were the only thing they had going in my book. Now they've lost me with them as well.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Cheap cartridges

    Weaknesses: Pictures are printed correctly only byselecting Best quality, forget about using normal mode. That makes printing really slow. No good response from HP at all.

    Overall Evaluation: At first, normal mode can be used, but once it fails, only Best quality mode will give you complete pictures, despite on resolution.. I mean, complete! So a high volume printer can not be that slow! Really bad response from HP. Plus it has been returned twice for service.
