Need advice on the HP all in one printer $29...


Recommended Posts

Posted

My hubby got me a new comp for our anniversary and my old scanner wasn't compatible with it. I didn't realize just how much I used my scanner till I didn't have one:(

Anyhow I saw the $29 all in one printer listed and was thinking about getting it but I'm not sure. It will only be used for scanning school papers and printing out homework etc. Any advice?

 

Oh and also, on the 5 qt crockpot for $15, does anyone know if the bowl part of it is removable? It looks like it is but it's hard to tell in the pic.

Thanks:)

I was kinda wondering the same thing. I like print photos, it has the card slot, but doesn't say if its a photo printer.

Exactly! I haven't been able to find out anything about it either:(

I picked up the Lexmark all-in-one they had last year for $25. Seemed like a great deal until I got home and found it it didn't even come with the cable to hook it up to my computer:mad: I bought a cable off the internet and tried to install the disk but it kept giving me an error. What a waste of money!

allot of printers don't come with the cable to hook it up but you can get them at walmart. and you can install printers without the disk just get online with the company that makes it and download the driver needed. No big deal.

I saw that I am looking for a new scanner for my dad for Christmas...I was wondering if I should try this one or the other HP they have for 45.00. Anyone know if I should spend the extra 20.00?

I know the one they have for $45 is normally sold at $45...I was looking on their website to see if they normally sold the $29 one. I am going to go ahead and get the $29 one. My all in one I have now died a couple weeks ago and I need one to at least last long enough till I am done with college in August. So if this one can last a year then it will be worth it. I plan on going to the Walmart that is open 24 hours so I don't have to wait outside. A friend of mine and I are actually going to an outlet mall that is opening at 11pm on Thurs. first.:D

I would advise to avoid any lexmarks. You are taking a chance with the cheapo HP. Personally I'd spend a little extra and get something a little better.

Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! I have been trying to guess at what the dimensions are!

 

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get it, surely it will be okay for what I need it for.

The other printer seems a little nicer but for $15 cheaper do you think its about the same??

 

I want to get the $29 but worry its not worth it??

I'm pretty sure the Wal-Mart Hp printer is the same one I have. I got mine at target for $30 or so. It's going to be a discontinued model, that's why it's so cheap. Mine works fine, but I did have to buy a cable for it.

Yeah I heard somehwere that this was being discontinued...so I am wondering about the ink for them do you think they will still make the ink or are they pretty universal for the Hp's?

I guess I am just going to pick it up I mean come on for under 30 bucks what can you expect.
