HP Photosmart C309a Premium Fax All-in-One Printer

 

CD/DVD printing. Automatic document feeder. Stylish for a multifunction.

Slightly expensive cost per page. Printer itself is expensive.

The C390a follows in the footsteps of recent HP multifunction devices by delivering excellent quality prints in a stylish, fully featured unit. If it weren't for the initial and ongoing running costs, this would be the ideal solution for a home or...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Lousy product. Too expensive at any price.

 

HP Customer service replaced it free of charge even though warranty had run out (apparently they have huge problems with the machine and the radio, in particular), but I won't even bother installing it.

Deceptively nice design and features. Too bad they fail. Set-up was easy

Wifi radio went dead, connectivity before that was intermittent to poor. Slowed down my computers (3) that it was supposed to work with. Guzzles ink like no other printer I've ever seen.
