Anyone has the HP F380 all in one printer? I am thinking of getting one...?

My grandmother has the HP 1410, which is what the F380 was called a year ago. She's had it a couple of years and it still works fine. For what my grandmother uses it for, I'd rate it a strong 9.\n\nOne thing to remember, though, is that this is a low end printer. It's made for people who don't really print that much. The ink cartridges in this printer don't hold very much ink. Sometimes people who print a lot will purchase a printer like this because of it's cheap price. But then they find themselves replacing the ink cartridges too often. So, for people who do moderate printing, this isn't the ideal printer. \n\nPersonally, I would spend $30 more and purchase the C3180 (which is a step up from the F380). It is built a little bit better and has a few more features I think you would like. This printer also holds smaller ink cartridges. \n\nIf you plan on printing often, look into the HP C4180. It uses cartridges that hold more ink, it prints nice photos without a computer. This machine costs $150, but you'll be more satisfied with your purchase.\n\nOf course, it's up to you. If you don't print that often the HP F380 will be perfect for you. Cartridges are inexpensive, and so is the printer. Happy buying!\n\nP.S. If you happen to come across some extra money, take a look into the HP C5180. I have this printer, and it is the best one I've ever owned.

YOU ARE HAVING "SPOOL" PROBLEMS.\n\nMost of the time, you can reinstall the Drivers. ( The Disk) that came with it.\n\nYou might do a uninstall first, just to avoid any other issues. \n If you have only 1 printer, delete anyother printer programs you have, they may be conflicting.\n\n\nGood Luck.

I has this problem also. I am really new to computers, so reading the manual is like reading rubbish. have you tried checking what connection the computer is hooked up to on the printer. for instance....my computer has a fax, photo copier, and a scanner, therefor, i have to choose what setting i need for the printer to work. it is a simple as one click.

I had a Lexmark that did the same thing. While I hate Lexmark printers I must say their customer service was great. I called them, we walked through the basics, then they sent me a replacement for FREE (Fedex over night).\n\nMy personal suggestion, give it away and buy something different. The printer works fine, it's big, loud and their ink is $$$.

The roller-grabby thing keep grabbing two sheets of paper and then jams up.  To make matters worse, it makes a beeping noise.  When I take the paper out and try to print again, the madness starts all over.\n\nThe good folks a Hewlett Packard have my thanks.

We had a HP pc many years ago - I'd never trust them again (But there printers are absolutely exceptional quality).\n\nOur HP used a OEM operating system. This meant that it was a customised version of windows which of course meant that they also installed their own custom software etc. At bootup the system resources would normally be 45% available - Very low. It would crash every 30 - 60 minutes and wasn't really very stable at all.\n\nHP's tech support (UK - Some scottish guy called Alan) was very hard to deal with too. Not only did he refuse to beleive what I told him it said on my screen, but when the PC-World technician spoke to him he had the same attitude-packed response too. Basically once they have sold you their HP Pc, they don't want to know, they don't care and they don't want to even see the machine again.\n\nAt 11 months old, that PC went back to PC world (after 3 motherboard replacements, 2 different lots of ram, new processor etc etc). They refunded it and sent it back to HP (I wish I could of seen Alan's face when he saw what was wrong with it).\n\nOur experience with HP was not a good one at all. They don't beleive that anything can go wrong with their PC's and they don't beleive that they are anything but perfect. Their customer service was appalling along with very unhelpful.\n\nI will neer touch another HP pc again. As I said though, their printers are perfect in every way - robust, very little ink usage, pretty quick etc (unlike Epson).\n\nIf you want to buy a good brand-name PC, then I would recommend Packard Bell. We had one of those after the HP, and to be honest it was almost faultless. Eventually the motherboard (after a good 5 years of solid use) died but it was a great machine which operated almost flawlessly.\n\nJ

It's easy to find this in two units, but I haven't found a 1 unit in any of the major brands yet.  If your printer is wireless, you may want to go with a wireless switch & print server, and just plug it into your router. \nA quick search on wireless print servers turned up  Netgear WGPS606    D-Link DP-G310  and   Belkin F1UP0001    Most of them get medium ratings, instead of 5 stars, largely because they don't work with every printer out there, so check before you buy.

I suggest you replace the printer since it is obsolete. Printers have come way down in cost.

If all answers you receive do not help.  Go to www.hp.com---you\ncan't ask for a better answer than hearing it from the people who deal only with their own products.  You will find manuals, downloads,  and anything pertaining to an HP PRODUCT.  Hope this solves your problem.\nFrom,\n "Peptown"

Unplug your printer from the USB or parallel port.\n\nDelete the printer you currently have from Start>Settings>Printer and Faxes.  \n\nDownload and install the driver I posted in the sources area.  \n\nPlug up the printer again after you have installed the driver, and it should work fine.

I have the HP Photosmart 3210 and absolutely love it. I use mine mostly for printing photos, so I don't have the one with fax. But is super fast and has awsome quality. One of the best printers I have ever owned. The HP Photosmart 3310 is the same printer, but also has the fax. Definately worth the money, I wouldn't give it up for anything.\n\nIf you are going to use it in an office, I have the HP office jet 6210 and also love it. Not quite as much as my 3210. But this is more for an office and works great for that. \n\nIf you will be doing more photos than regular printing definately go for the 3310, if you go for the office use go for the 6210.\n\nHowever, I use my 3210 for office printing as well and it works perfectly. Prints at an amazingly fast rate. I forget to pull the tray out sometimes and it shoots paper all the way across the room.
