cheap, good chic, super easy installation

Once I had to scrap my photo printer Cannon 585i with permanent print head after just 2.5 years (dried-pressure head) came to me as a rare opportunity printer back only one model "cartridges with an integrated print head" (not if a Cannon product) in question. Since no drivers for Windows was raise more for my old Mustek scanner, I opted for the very affordable HP Deskjet 3050.
Even the packaging is designed with system and unpacking is done without the need to have any doubts cancel a part.
The appearance (shiny black lid and matt black housing) looks really chic.
If one more of a pure user (operator) is a computer, comes later than when connecting external devices and the necessary software, the large tremors.
I have to say .... there is this nothing to say. Just in the truest sense of the word "ingeniously simple installation of hardware and software". Suuuppeeerrr.
The printer works with USB port on an old desktop computer and wireless two notebooks.
I have printed out for test purposes an image on photographic paper and can only say that the quality is fully my expectation.
In the scan function of the drive makes it very significant noise. Since my old Mustek scanner was be noticeably quieter.
Super, I find that you can use the printer to copy without using a computer directly.
Let's talk about the biggest drawback of the printer, the cartridge costs. Here arrived HP (as others now also) to outrageous. That's why only 4 stars
It will only chip-coded HP cartridges.
Refill cartridges are genuine HP cartridge case with chip and are not really cheap. The refill cartridges are significantly more content than the original HP cartridges. What I do not know whether the printer the greater capacity actually retrieves. It could be that the printer software is one of the gedrucketen pages and then when the number is reached, (HP-are number of print pages for your cartridges to) then reports this possibly that the cartridges are replaced. I will try it. There are also refill kits for cartridges. I've heard that the filling of an empty cartridge used is not working. The printer detects on the basis of the chip on the cartridge, the "empty" cartridge and accepted then (filled) not. He has previously identified and reported as "emptiness" This cartridge. I've heard that the printer speichet the last three cartridges used on the chip code. It was only the fourth ever used cartridge, he accepted this as new again.
Anyone looking for a printer with scan and copy functions and would only occasionally print and copy, is very well served with this unit.
