5 out of 5 stars HP K550 in Service Review.......2007-05-12

I've had this a month or so now, to replace an ailing HP 970cse.
I particularly like the Separate individual color and black ink cartridges, the Duplexing (which I liked with the 970) it's speed and paper capacity. Projected cost-per-page appears to be very good.
It showed up on the network no-problem, it's FAST, and the quality even on bottom of the heap copy paper is quite good, much better than the 970 and certainly excellent Business Quality in any case. While I would not charactirize it as a full blown Photo Printer, for casual stuff it really does surprisingly well.

Bottom Line: As a highly capable Business Level High Speed Ink Jet it fully fills the requirements. I've separated my printer requirements between Business / Standard level and Photo Level now, and that really works out much better. I have an HP B9180 on order for my Photo Grade Work. It also filled in all my "check boxes" for a photo printer.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, Quality, and sidekick.......2007-04-07

K550dtn
I researched color printers, and wanted to find something that met these criteria:
1) Under $500
2) High quality photo printing (good inks)
3) Photos that do not fade once printed
4) Fast times for 'first page out'
5) Inks drain efficiently and can print more than 200 per cartridge

It turns out that Epson, Canon and hp were all worthy of researching. Those that speak highly of Epson and Canon have admitted that the newer hp printers; with the vivera inks and higher quality papers, fix the quality issues that they had seen with hp inkjet printers in the past.

I decided to buy the K550dtn and try it out. It prints quickly, and with the larger yield black cartridges, they can print up to 2500 pages of 5% black sheets. Compared to previous versions of hp printers, offering up to 200-300 pages of 5% black per cartridge, this was a great improvement.

Out of the box, one has to configure the ink heads and the cartridges, and priming took a little time to get right. Probably took about 30 minutes for this part, alone, but the drivers loaded once I put the entire CD contents on the computer and ran setup from that new directory. I have not done a side by side comparison, but for the average user, and part time photo enthusiast who wants to print quality 8" x 10" photos - as well as everything below this sizing - this is an excellent machine for this time period (beginning of 2007). The future holds more improvements, but for now, I am very very happy after printing over 1500 sheets of both photos and basic text.

Again, I am not a professional photographer (but I print their images!!) and I am only a novice photo person at best (more technical). Still, I am impressed with quality of output for daily prints, family gifts, and basic b&w printing. The initial mechanical set up (inks carts and priming) is for the patient person, not the plug and play person. Warranty support is a big help if you want to follow that path, but I did not.

I dropped it one star since it gave driver install issues with the CD, and the inital priming process was temperamental. Still, it is worth every penny.



2 out of 5 stars Quality Black print, average color, poor duplexing.......2007-03-11

This model does a good job on single-sided black documents. Period. Duplexing is problematic. Paper jams should be expected and are routine. Complex two-sided jobs such as booklets should be left to the more competent laser printer. It is admitedly not a photo printer, so don't waste your time or photo paper printing your snapshots. Spot color and an occasional photo on a brochure are about all this printer is capable of. Ink cartridges are expensive if you use the high-yield versions. Only buy this printer if it is heavily discounted. Not quite a piece of junk but not one of HPs best efforts either.

1 out of 5 stars Buyer be ware!.......2007-02-07

Never have I had printer that was such a pile of junk. Constant paper jams and paper pickup failers. Yes, get use to the "Out of Paper" waring popping up. I bought the 3 year warrenty on this as well, big goof. Plan on a minamum of two hours with HP before gaining ground.

Good Luck fuyure buyers!

5 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted.......2007-01-31

I was trying to find a better printer than our old inkjets (812 and 842C) with duplexing and cost-effective printing. I seriously looked at a couple of laser printers (HP 2605dn and 3600dn) but I spoke with the person who refills our inkjet cartridges and he recommended this one instead (I thought he might be just trying to keep the business, but it is what he said it is). The print heads and ink cartridges are separate, so they can be replaced individually. It is less expensive, has a lower cost per page, and is actually way faster than the others I looked at.

It was very easy to set up, it is very fast, and the duplexer works great. Worth every penny. It is a little larger than I thought, and it has some pretty serious side motion because of the print heads sliding back and forth, so it needs to be on a firm surface (I have a high printer stand that moves a little). Most people probably wouldn't even notice. The duplexer sticks out the back so it needs about 4 or 5 inches or so extra behind it. A little noisy when printing, but typical for inkjets.

I like it!
