HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One

The HP Photosmart 3310 shares many features with earlier all-in-ones from HP, but this model ups the ante in a couple of important areas. Like the HP Photosmart 2710, the 3310 features stand-alone copying, faxing, scanning, and printing, plus wired and...

The HP Photosmart 3310 is Wi-Fi and Ethernet ready; has built-in storage card slots; scans film negatives and slides; and delivers excellent text quality, good photos, and fine graphics prints.

Lacks an automatic document feeder; scanning could be better; the HP Photosmart 3310's paper capacity is small for office use.

The HP Photosmart 3310's many useful features make it a good fit for a home office.

PC Plus review: HP Photosmart 3210

The 3210 produced bold, vibrant colours and the 3210 is a compelling purchase.

HP Photosmart 3210

Very similar to look at as the 3310 but without the ability to connect wirelessly and in it's favour probably around £70 cheaper.

The unit is 46x40x22cm and weights 11.9kilos. The figures include the paper tray and even the control panel and TFT screen when tilted. It is possible to store both A4 and 15x10cm photo paper in the multi use tray at the same time and you can direct...

HP Photosmart 3210

An HP all-in-one that has film-scanning capability..

Printing is fast, and print quality is OK rather than stunning, with poor detail in areas of deep red. Film scanning is welcome but it's not as good as Epson's. Overall, worth considering.

fixed paper feeder problem

i have found a quick fix for the photosmart 3210 not feeding paper correctly and giving an "out of paper" message to fix this problem you will need Some "Q" tips and some saliva yes thats right spit from your mouth. im not kidding what you have to do...

Hubby bought this one

Next printer we buy will not be an HP photosmart one.

Great for fast draft text printing but I'm not happy with using it for other things

I've yet to get it to print good photos no matter what setting and types of papers we have used. While it has 6 seperate ink cartriges in this machine only the black, Dark Cyan blue and dark mageta get used. I find the 3 others rarely need to be...

HP Print SUCKS

The image quality and scanning are superior. Hands down

The printer NEVER, EVER grabs paper. It takes numerous tries to get the printer to grab paper. Its enough to drive a person insane. HP charges you for a printer cleaner but it still doesn't work. I love the printer but its such a waste of money because...

Uses non-black ink even when printing in black only

Even when you print "black ink only" the printer will not print until you replace the other empty ink cartridges...very frustrating to say the least.

This printer does everything well that HP claims it will do

Even when printing "black ink only", the printer appears to continue to use the other printer cartidges as well(magenta, cyan, etc). The cartidges aren't cheap....buyer beware

HP Photosmart 3210 Q5843A#ABA Up to 32 ppm 4800 x 1200 dpi Thermal Inkjet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

AVOID THIS PRINTER AT ALL COSTS! Come on HP GET IT RIGHT!

Good scanner. Beyond that this printer design was still born

Bad paper feed problems (regardless of paper quality) have forced me to purchase a new printer because almost from day one I have fought with it. I've tried reconditioning the rollers, etc. to no avail. I've always been a staunch supporter of HP, but...

Photo Quality dissapoints

I've seen reviews on other sites with the same conclusion. A good way to verify that the colors are washed out if you don't have another decent printer is to make a copy of a plain paper color document. Put the sheet on the scanner then press COPY and...

Loaded with features. Fast photo printing (about 25 seconds for 4x6 using memory card slot and front panel controls). Somewhat less expensive per page/photo than tri-color ink models. I set mine up using the network connection and setup was less than...

This unit was to replace my HP PSC2175 All-in-one which is still an excellent machine. I purchased this for two reasons: photo quality and speed of printing. The pro and user reviews looked promising. Unfortunately, the print quality takes a step...
