Summary: HP only replace a BLEND NEW printer with REFURBLISHED UNIT
Review: After installing and setup my blend new HP Deshjet 3550 printer according to instruction, I tried to print some docummnet. The printer jammed right away and the on/off light was blinking constantly.
After clearing the paper jam and tried to print, it jammed
again. IT DID NOT EVEN PRINT A SINGLE WORD - BUT KEPT JAMMING.

I called HP and the technical person tried different way to corrected the problem for 1 hr. Then she said she will replace the BLEND NEW PRINTER WITH A REFURBLISHED ONE. I ARGUED WITH HER
THAT I SHOULD GET A BLEND NEW ONE SHE TOLD ME THIS IS HP POLICY.
Then I talked with her manager, HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. "IT
IS HP'S POLICY IF YOU BUY A NEW UNIT AND HAPPEN TO BE A DEFECTED
ONE, THEY ONLY REPLACE IT WITH A REFURBLISHED UNIT. I ASKED
HIM THAT IF HE BOUGHT A BLEND NEW CAR IT WOULD RUN AND WOULD HE
TAKE A USED CAR!!!!!!

Summary: Pass on this one
Review: Bought this printer because ink for the lexmark was about the same price as this printer. Have been very happy with it. Faster print speed than the lexmark, vibrant colors, and installed like a dream. Plug and go.
You just can't go wrong with this one. Would have got 5 stars if it came with a usb cable, had to buy seperately.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Speedy and inexpensive.

Review: Don't bother - very disappointing for an HP product. This printer fails to print consistently and "carriage stalls" frequently. This defect is clearly well known at HP Support. The manual solution, while effective, is not a real answer. Save your time and money on this one.(...)

Summary: a nice enough little printer
Review: I bought this printer during my freshman year of college, wanting a reasonably cheap printer to avoid having to constantly trek to the library to print papers. While my friends who have bought similar HP models have had problems with them, I've found this printer to be reliable and suitable for my needs. It prints extremely quickly for an inkjet - although it does tend to be rather noisy - and I particularly like the feature which allows me to print on both sides of a page easily. It is also compact, which is always good in a dorm room. While it would not be suitable for someone printing extremely high volumes, I would recommend this printer for students.

Summary: Not Good
Review: I have always been a big fan of HP printers. I have an HP 920c at work and love it. I was trying to find one for my home but they have discontinued it. Instead I bought this one and have been so disappointed with it. It jams all the time and the color isn't as good as the 920c. It makes a terrible noise when it is trying to pull the paper through and it always manages to pull at least 5 pages at a time. Now it is refusing to print anything. I am not happy with this printer at all.

Summary: Excellent printer
Review: I've had this printer for a couple of months now and its perfect for me as a college student. It works very well and has a very good print quality and has an on screen ink monitor that can tell you how much ink you have left before each print job so you'll know when you're running low on ink and need to replace it (though i've yet to replace mine after 2 months). Overall for a college student, its a pretty decent printer.

Summary: Nice Printer, Watch out for power cord
Review: I've only been using my new HP 3550 for a day, and so far I'm pleased. It seems to be a great bang for the buck.

My only complaint in the power cord. Most products are now shipping with the transformer on the center of the cord, so the wall plug is small. This printer still has a HUGE wall wart, with the plug attached. Power outlet real-estate is scarce at my computer desk, and the huge plug does't help things.

Summary: HP 3550 DeskJet Printer
Review: My former printer was HP's 820C DeskJet, now discontinued. So I wasn't prepared for the noise made by the 3550 or the fact that it's a lot slower. But I was very pleased with how easily it was set up! Print quality is superb for a machine this inexpensive and I've experienced no paper jams. I would have liked a longer power cord and a different location for the transformer but, over-all, it's great value for someone like me looking for reliability in a low cost printer having as few features as possible.
