HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One

The $99 HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One registers competitive performance in print speed and overall image quality, but I prefer the Epson Stylus NX430 because it offers more features like manual two-sided printing and a higher sheet capacity that...

The HP Photosmart 5510 multifunction printer occupies minimum space on your desktop and features an intuitive touch screen with virtual buttons that illuminate to eliminate clutter.

The Photosmart 5510 doesn't support HP's print-centric Web apps, and competing printers offer more versatility with manual double-sided printing and increased paper input capacity.

The HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-one printer demonstrates reliable performance with excellent scores in both speed and quality tests, but falters in its feature offering. For people who need more than just speeds and feeds, I prefer the Epson Stylus NX430...

HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Review: Nice Look, Nice Prints, Stunted Driver

The good news about the $100 (as of February 17, 2012) HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One color inkjet multifunction printer (copy/print/scan) is that it looks great in a small or home office, produces very good output, and is exceptionally easy to set up...

Cheap to buy ; Good output quality

Limited layout features ; No two-sided printing

After creating an affordable MFP with a nice touchscreen and attractive output, HP spoils the deal with a dumbed-down driver that doesn't even support manual duplexing.

HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One

The HP PhotoSmart 5510 e-All-in-One ($99.99 direct) is a multifunction printer (MFP) geared squarely at home use—its meager paper capacity and lack of business-centered features make it a poor choice for even light-duty home-office work. As a home...

Inexpensive. Fast. Good output quality. Touch screen. ePrint and AirPrint compatible

Meager paper capacity. Relatively high cost per page. No support for HPâs Web apps

The HP PhotoSmart 5510 e-All-in-One has good speed for a budget MFP, a touch-screen interface, and ePrint capabilities.

"if only I could give this printer a ZERO rating..."

AVOID THIS PRINTER!!!!! Worst investment of $60 I have ever made!!!! And dealing with HP policy and rules are possibly MORE frustrating then the darn product itself!!!

Looks nice? but evil on the inside...

Constant Paper Jams, Cannot Print Photos, Recurring Issues, Terrible Tech Support, Inefficient, Unreliable

"HP...never again!"

The printer didn't work when I took it out of the box. It displayed a "printhead missing" error message. When I contacted the local HP support I received the information that it might take two weeks (!) to get a replacement.

Looks good - that's why I bought it.

I got a faulty product. HP customer service is a pile of...

"This is not the printer you're looking for."

I think it was on gizmodo in an article that I read soon after I bought this unit. A reader asked advise on the best all in one printer available for a moderate price. The response was "whatever you do, don't get the HP 5510". I think that sums it up...

It was/is cheap. It's now even cheaper. It will eventually print. The touch interface is kinda nifty although I guess a little outdated at this stage.

Paper doesn't go through the feed too well and often comes out crinkled.

"We had to completely wireless and printer is worth it"

Over all I think it is a great printer I'm very happy with it. I can just say it save me a lot of time going to Staples to do everything this printer did for me.

I was able to scan and print wireless from a different room and it was great every time.

The only thing you have to do is copy a page one at a time or scan one page at a time. it does not have a automatic feed on it.

This printer has great qualities when working properly

The printer seems to be a well made printer with lots of bonus features for the price (scanner, copier, wireless connection, apps).The apps that come with the printer are a plus especially if you have little kids (coloring pages) or are looking to save...

Sleek appearance, lightweight & smaller compared to similar printers ; Touch screen is very easy to see allowing for easy navigation through setup, etc ; Easily connects to wireless network & devices ; Scans & copies in images & docs quickly

Constant paper jams. I only get approximately 1 printed page for every 5 pages I try to print ; Pages seem to have small ink floaters even though I have made sure everything is clean of dust and debris

"Had the printer for only 10 weeks and it quit working!"

We received our RECONDITIONED (Not New)replacement printer from HP and it turned out to be a nightmare. It had 3 problems, detecting the loaded paper in the tray, causing paper jams when it finally would print and when a scanned or printed document...

We liked it as long at it was working correctly.

Getting it to actually "Print" when prompted using wireless connection was frustrating! Switched to using the USB to avoid the printing problems. The power switch quit working and we had to send it back to HP.
