What You Should Know about the LaserJet 3380 All-In-One Printer

Duplex Printing a Must for Busy Offices

A printer with duplex capability contains an internal mechanism for turning the paper over to print on the other side. (This is not to be confused with the manual duplexing that some printers offer, where driver software walks you through the process of turning over the paper yourself.) Any high-volume office should seriously consider this feature. The duplexing process slows down your print job a bit, but it also immediately cuts your paper use in half -- good for your budget, good for the environment.

Strengths: Awesome printer until I upgraded to Vista.

Weaknesses: As noted above no fax/scanner support for Vista-it becomes a printer only. BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND NAME-I AM FROM NOW ON!

Overall Evaluation: For everyone who got hosed over, send a message to CEO Mark Hurd: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/email/hurd/index.html

Strengths: The 3380 is an outstanding multi function center for small business. I have used the unit for 3 years on an XP network and it's been fantastic. It far exceeded my expectations. I printed a report page a few months ago and I had printed over 100,000 pages... scanned over 20,000 pages. I completely rely on this unit. I bought a second 3380 about 5 months ago knowing I was hooking it up to a new laptop with Vista. I URGE ANYONE BUYING THIS MACHINE SINCE THE RELEASE OF VISTA TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE "VISTA ULTIMATE". With Vista Ultimate you really don't have to give up any functionality using the built in "scan fax software" in Vista Ultimate. In all honesty I have found the built in Microsoft scan/fax software more stable, quicker than the HP Solution provided in XP.

Weaknesses: Really no weakness except HP's lack of commitment to upgrading software for Vista. It baffles me since there are so many of these machines out there and HP has developped quite a loyal following with this machine. In my mind it's only good business to provide and updated version of their multi function software for Vista.

Overall Evaluation: A fantastic machine that I whole heartedly recommend even on a Vista machine. If you have Vista Ultimate you will be pleasantly delighted with this machine well in to the future.
