Hewlett Packard Officejet 5610 All-In-One InkJet Printer Review

Yikes!  I'm really wishing I had chosen a different printer!  It sounded great.  Low price, lots of capabilities (fax, copier, color and b/w prints), and from a well respected brand, but watch out!  This thing eats ink like you would believe!  AND the ink is really pricey and doesn't last.  The claims for the number of prints are completely false, you won't even get half the prints that the manufacturer promises.  I don't even print photos and I barely get 20 prints (with limited color) out of each $24 color cartridge.  Do the math and I could have purchased a top of the line color laser printer!  The quality of the machine is acceptable, but nothing special and the machine frequently get paper and carriage jams.  Also, HP has fixed this printer so that generic cartridges do not work and the new cartridges are not able to be refilled at lower cost by retailers like Walgreens or Office Depot.  HP has fixed it so that the consumer has no other option than to get soaked buying overpriced HP ink!  Stay far away from this one, or you will pay a heavy price!
