" ... I suspect the positive reviews I've seen for this device were submitted by HP. ... "
" ... I have wasted precious time trying to fix the problem. ... "
" ... I bought this printer a little over a year ago. ... Worked well at first, then one day it wouldn't stay powered on. ... That signed it's death warrant. ... "
" ... If you have a Mac, you are out of luck. ... "
" ... Then it simply stopped working. ... But I've spent 3 hours trying to fix this this and I'm tired, so now I'm going to order a new non-HP printer. ... "

" ... Get their ink subscription . ... Never have to worry about running out of ink. ... "
" ... First let me say that I spent a lot of time researching HP printers & I narrowed it down to the HP7640 & the HP6968. ... "
" ... I have this printer connected to my iMac and the print speed is pretty good for a ink-jet. ... Speaking of replacement inks, I ended purchasing a set of refill ink kit. ... It is 100 times cheaper this way than buying generic or OEM ink cartridges. ... "
" ... I wish there were the larger color ink refills as there is for the black ink. ... "
" ... However, after three months of printing and after one ink change, the printer started printing half of the page. ... "
" ... The HP ink service so far has gone great and ink isn't expensive so I think it was worth signing up for the service. ... I also signed up for Amazon's printer paper subscribe & save program. ... "
" ... I so love this and it does not use much ink, even though you get the instant ink program and you do not have to pay additional for the ink, it is still nice not to have to go threw the hassle of refilling. ... The one think however after canceling my credit card the printer would not print, even though I had ink. ... "
" ... Ink last a lot longer since they are the individuals. ... "

" ... The latest was no paper in the tray but the tray was full and it had just printed 3 sheets. ... "
" ... always says 'paper tray is empty' when its full, so, it won't print, OR it says 'paper tray is open' when it's not, so it won't print. ... "
" ... From the moment of its installation and download of software from HP, would print one page and then would say "Paper Tray Open Close Paper Tray" on printer screen. ... And it sent error message to settings menu on my apple saying "Printer out of paper." ... "
" ... I just spent three hours trying to print ONE 97-page document. ... In addition, this printer does not communicate with my computer as it should--I never get a message about it being out of paper or ink. ... I may send several print jobs in a row, then go to pick them up--only to find that it ran out of paper or ink, quit printing, and deleted the print jobs entirely. ... "
" ... It's slow, which I could deal with, but when printing double-sided it's much slower than single-sided and it creases the paper when it prints on the opposite side of the page. ... "
" ... This printer is ok for printing on regular paper, black & white or color. ... However, printing photos on photo paper, whatever size, is a nightmare. ... "
" ... This printer is a piece of junk. ... "
" ... I got this and we've had it 3 months, probably printed less than 10 pages. ... "

" ... I tried to set it up out of the box and to depend on HP install software to get me up and running, but to no avail. ... I've found in the past that HP software add-ons are finicky, unreliable, and cause hardware malfunctions. ... "
" ... It wasted over an hour of my time trying to set this thing up and figure out this issue, going to their website, downloading things, etc. ... "
" ... On the HP site - there are a lot of complaints that the MAC OS printer icon will constantly show - out of paper - and there is only some work arounds. ... "
