5.0 out of five stars Best printer I have ever owned, October 29, 2010
By Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME) This review is from: HP Photosmart Premium Wireless e All in One (CN503A#B1H) (Electronics)
Buyer review from the Vine™ Program () There are many qualities that should be considered when ranking a printer. This printer is almost perfect in all of them. 1st is easy setup. Setting up this printer was a breeze. I put it on the table, plugged it in, turned it on and the printer took over from there. The screen told me what to do and when to do it. Installing the cartridges was simple. It hooked up to my Wi Fi system easily (no cables needed) and was prepared to go in some minutes. Wi Fi is great, letting you carry the printer around the house so it is generally near you and your laptop as you go from the kitchen to the family room. Quality of prints? The prints were as good as the prints professionally developed that are sitting in my photo albums. (I did use the HP glossy paper supplied with the printer.) And the scanner works quickly and with excellent quality.

The printer has many cool features that allow you to perform many functions without using a computer. Need a last minute greeting card? Bored and want a fast game of Sudoku? Planning a trip and need a map? (MapQuest, not google maps, though.) The printer has a small screen that allows you to pick a nice selection of applications and when HP releases their API to write apps I am sure there will be plenty more available.

There were a couple of odd little problems. When I moved the printer the 1st time, the apps haved trouble accessing many websites till I ran through the setup again. The touchscreen takes a little to get used to and I found myself starting apps when I tryed to scroll past them. But this was a minor issue and after a little to get used to I had no more problem.

What it comes down to is that this is the best printer I have ever owned. The print quality is amazing and really that’s what any printer comes down to . For a home printer, it could be hard to find anything better.

5.0 out of five stars Fast, fun, easy photo printing, November 2, 2010
By Corey Scott (Rocklin, California, United States) See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME) This review is from: HP Photosmart Premium Wireless e All in One (CN503A#B1H) (Electronics)
Buyer review from the Vine™ Program () Background:
I now own an older variant of this HP photo printer, a C3100 series. The biggest differences on this C310 model are the WiFi connection, seperate ink cartridges for Cyan/Magenta/Yellow (instead of a single multicolor cartridge), and the color touchscreen. I haven’t still bought a set of ink cartridges, so unfortunately this review won’t include any info about ink cartridge longevity, since the printer only comes with “sample” cartridges that only let for a couple pages of printing.

Setup:
Initial setup was a breeze. I’m using this printer entirely over WiFi, and the printer is in a different room than my computers. When you turn the printer on for the 1st time, the touchscreen display walks you through the initial setup, as well as the WiFi connection. It took me about two minutes from start to finish. The computer software took a while to install, but is nicely automated so you do not must be a networking expert to get connected to the printer.

On printer User Interface:
The touch screen works well, with a comfy total of touch sensitivity. I never accidentally hit a wrong command throughout my testing. The features of this printer may be used nearly totally without the use of a computer. As an example, you may be able to scan a photo, crop and edit it on screen, and save it to either a remote computer on the network or a memory card. Printing photos from a memory card is equally easy.

Print Quality:
Excellent. Photo color is reproduced precisely. Pixel resolution is good, no pixelation was obvious with the naked eye.

Print Speed:
I have only tried printing 4×6 photos as of this writing, so I can not say for sure how fast a full 8.5×11 photo could print. Each 4×6 photo printed in around 20 seconds.

Scanner/Copier quality:
I performed a photocopy using a photo which has been printed out on my older C3100 printer. The ensuing print was somewhat lossier than the original print, with minor color differences, but in general a pretty satisfactory copy. The scanner is high resolution (600dpi), and creates digital copies of analog pictures better than any of my other scanners.

What I do not like:
More of a complaint about the printer business as a whole, but I hate that printers these days only come with “sample cartridges”. They can not possibly be that much cheaper to make, and are a evident marketing scheme to make you fork over more money when you purchase the printer. I guess I can not fault HP for following business marketing trends, but it’s still irritating. As for as this printer exactly, I can not say I have many complaints, but the paper tray capacity could use an upgrade. The photo paper tray only holds about 20 sheets or and the standard paper tray holds about 75 sheets.

Ink Cartridge Longevity:
As I mentioned before, I have not bought the full set of cartridges still, so my review is restricted to my use of the “sample cartridges” the printer came with. After I purchase and test the full cartridges, I’ll update this review.

Overall:
I am happy with this printer, and after using it, I’m comfy saying that I could purchase it again.

2.0 out of five stars HP Support Needs to enhance sleep mode issue, November 28, 2010
By Soar See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) This review is from: HP Photosmart Premium Wireless e All in One (CN503A#B1H) (Electronics)
Buyer review from the Vine™ Program () UPDATE 12/11/2010:
Have been running a firmware update for over a week now.. while the printer locked up once, it may have been caused by a power fluctuation. In general the issue listed in the CON below looks to be resolved so far. While the printer is nice, HP still gets two stars for how this has been handled (they should have been reacting to the many posts in their support forums for their new product.. also disappointed that an issue like this made it through whatever testing they do).

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Pros:
The printer was comparatively easy to set up wireless. Worked for a mix of Windows seven x64 computers and Windows XP laptop (all wireless)
The speed of the printing is fast and the quality of common papers is nice
Photo printing looked nice on photo paper
The two trays that come with the printer, one for normal paper and one for photo paper are a great idea

Cons: (arrrghhh. Frustrating con, hence the three star deduction)
The printer could go to sleep and rarely never wake up. It could take unplugging and re plugging the printer power cord to reboot the printer (this takes many time, the printer takes about a minute or so to re power up). I researched the issue on the HP web site forums and found some users haved the same issue. There aren’t firmware updates to fix this issue, in fact, there is no evidence that HP recognizes this as an issue and is addressing it.

THE FIX AND ONLY HELP. On the forum, an HP employee (who takes pains to stress he’s being useful and not reacting as an authorized HP representative) is the only ray of light. He gives nice step by step details on how to fix the problem (effectively, change the IP from dynamic to static on the printer). While I’m comfy doing such a thing, I can see the most of users not being comfy doing this and effectively being left with a printer that locks up every day. HP really needs to get their stuff together and at least say something to the effect that they’re working on the issue.

Disappointed in HP support.

At this point, I could not recommend this printer to anybody except people with higher than average level of tech knowledge.
