HP PSC 2355 All-in-One Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has been a great all in one printer producing quality documents with clear, clean text and graphics on many types of papers. It prints excellent copies, makes beautiful greeting cards, envelopes, photo's of all sizes - borderless and not, and makes nice scans.
I chose this model PSC2355 because I did not need a fax but wanted the LCD screen to be able to use this printer with or without my PC as my camera is older, without PictBridge and I liked having these options. You can get this model HP printer without the LCD and you get have this model with the LCD and with a fax!
Installation went well and was quite fast. Seemed like less than 15 minutes total. I use Windows XP with cable. To use my scanner after installation, I clicked on start in my taskbar. From there, I clicked on scanners and cameras which brought up the HP scanner icon with model number. Double click on the icon and it opens the welcome box to the scanner and camera wizard. Click next to continue and when that opens, choose your picture type (I like "custom" for the scan quality) and then click "preview". This way you can use the sizer so not to scan all the white of the lid surrounding your scanned piece (for example: a 4x6 picture). Warning: 2400 does take considerable time! On the next option it asks you what you want to do so choose your 1 of 3 options and click next. Then you can view your scan from that menu or click finish and open the file later but clicking finish opens the folder automatically for me. I didn't find installation hard or buggy - not at all. It had to be intuitive because I am an old woman and not that computer smart but I had no problem understanding this installation. No buggy software for me. I did not get a bunch of unwanted software installation but I did load the CD for HP image zone and find that I like it for a quick enhancement and printing option.
I find that I MUST use the PHOTO cartridge when printing photos!! You CAN use ONLY the tri-color and black cartridge that come with the printer and you will still get nice pictures but if you are the least bit finicky - as I am, you WILL WANT TO USE THE PHOTO CARTRIDGE! It will make the world of difference in your print quality! Also, and especially if you do not use any photo imaging software, you just might want to dabble with your printer options because on those "special" pictures, you REALLY WILL see a quality difference when you learn how to tweak with these options. Wow, I have produced stunning photographs utilizing many different features. Please note: this printer uses only the newer Vivera inks. Number 95 or 97 tri-color, 94 black and 99 photo.
I am very happy with this printer. I don't know what this nonsense is when people say it won't print in color or it prints lines. Something is wrong but it may not be the printer...
During the past 8 years, I have owned a Canon, an Epson and HP and have been pleased with all three. I prefer HP because I like a new printhead each time I change a cartridge.
No matter what I did, all my printers used gobs of ink and cost an arm and a leg. I had various problems with all of them yet they were all nice printers. However, I do like this model all in one because it does a bit of everything. If you are buying this just for the scanner for old family pictures and film, then this is not the scanner for you. It gets the job done and can even make great scans, providing your original is good quality but it is not a dedicated scanner for photography professionals and enthusiasts. This all in one is a great printer but is simply providing you with more just to give a little home office for a lesser price. My opinion is to go for a dedicated film and photo repair scanner if you expect to fix old film and photos.
