HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier (CB656A) Review from George B. HP F4280, We bought two of these to replace two HP PSC 1610’s three wks ago – so far so good. The PSC’s worked for us for 3-4 yrs and by now they both sounded too tired and ready to die.

Ink cartridges: Buy the “XL” versions, stands for extra large I guess. Better price per page and less trips to the store.

Installation: A breeze. For the ones who had problems: FOLLOW THE EXACT DIRECTIONS, not what YOU think is the right way BTW, if I thought the installation of the PSC 1610 was long…this one is REALLY long. Was it an hour? Or it seems it was.

The HP F4280 is a lot quieter than the PSC 1610 and reasonably fast. Except at the printing start: For some reason after you hit “Print” it takes 3-5 seconds of “Nothing is Happening”. Can this silly problem be corrected?? I ended up with some duplicate documents, but now I know better.

Save ink and time: Set your default at “Fast Draft” – it makes a very respectable copy at that setting.

Scanning: I think it is a little faster than the PSC 1610 and at the default setting of 200dpi the results are very good. I tried the 600dpi, slight difference on the monitor, but I’m sure it makes a better printed copy.

OVERALL: A great printer for the price.
