HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One review: HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One

HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One

The ; features a refreshing design and its wireless Web connectivity lets you print in the cloud with HP ePrint technology.

The printer lacks an Ethernet port for wired networking and its dual ink cartridge bay is a money sink if you print a high volume of photos and color documents.

The HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One printer marries an attractive design with the latest cloud printing technology in a multifunction device that works for small offices that don't need to print a lot of full-color photos.

HP Deskjet 3050A

HP's £30 Deskjet 3050A is a real bargain of an all-in-one.

Fast copies ; Easy wireless setup ; High quality draft print saves ink

Awkward cartridge loading ; High consumable costs ; External power supply

HP Deskjet 3050A review

If HP's super budget 1050A printer just didn't offer enough in the way of features for you, then you might want to try the company's 3050A on for size.

Low price tag; Wi-Fi support; 38mm black and white LCD display; Great graphics print quality.

Text print quality could be better; Slow graphics print speed.

Great features at a low price make the HP Deskjet 3050A a great buy for those with less demanding print needs.

HP Deskjet 3050A review

At this price, HP's Deskjet 3050A is one of the cheapest MFPs we've ever seen. Despite its budget leanings, it has integrated Wi-Fi, a square 5cm mono LCD screen, automatic print head alignment and support for HP's ePrint, which means you can send...

HP's little Deskjet is cheap and cheerful - great for occasional home document printing, but not up to regular and intensive scanning or printing

A very good printer.

I had a canon pixma printer before i bought this. Canon pixma printer had very bad linux support. Especially color prints under linux are horrible. This one works awesome in linux. It works in linux as good as it works in windows. Canon one was only a...

- Has lots of features. - wifi enabled, so no need for messy usb cables. Also supports usb cable if you need. - Can print directly from android or iphone without needing a PC. - Works very well under linux. - scans, cloud printing, copy

- Ink is costly and they have some kind of protection mechanism where it detects refilled ink (through expiry period of the ink cartridge) and non genuine ink. They do all this via chip embedded on ink cartridge.

Consumer review (cnet.com)

OK for low volume work. Wireless needs work.

I am not a big fan of low end HP printers, but so far it is doing a good job. I use this printer only for text so I don't have an opinion on its graphics performance.

Easy set up. Wireless worked with no fuss. Small size.

If I shut my computer off or even if it goes to sleep, the printer looses the wireless connection. Once the printer is turned off and then restarted it sync's OK.
