What You Should Know about the OfficeJet Pro L7680

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: good print quality. all the features you need

Weaknesses: got a paper jam. cleared it. unit still thinks there is a printer jam. these are unrepairable. when you call the only alternative is to buy a new one. they do not repair them. unbelievable. this is my last HP product, ever.

Overall Evaluation: poor quality. cannot be repaired at all. hp is filling up landfills.

Strengths: Overall A Very Good Unit, This is my 2nd Review. Also Shop around for a good price, like right here today, in PC World's Compare Price's. This Unit runs from a low of $149 to $409, so shop around!!!

Weaknesses: Software/Driver Problem, that I have told HP about and what need to be Fixed, but they so far have not Done So. The software problem with my L7680, running on Window's XP, has been the having to go into the printer setups in Windows, each and everytime one turns your system off or one does a Restart, and resetting the Duplexer setting from "Not Installed to Installed" as for some reason it will not stay in a default of Installed. And only sometimes does one have to also turn off the Tray #2 Installed, as a L7680 does not have a Tray 2, at all, only the L7780 has a Tray #2.

Overall Evaluation: I have read allot of the other Reviews Here, & Many of your are having Paper Jamming Problems. I did at also, but I found the fix to this problem with all my printer's. STOP BUYING CHEAP PAPER!! Believe me, it pays to buy GOOD quality paper, Like the "Hammermill Brand" witch I find at all Office Depot's. And even the Hammermill Brand said's "99.99% JAM-FREE". And when I changed to that paper, the Jams STOPPED, 100%!! When I used cheap paper I had nothing but Jamming problems also.
