HP L7590 OfficeJet Pro All In One Printer Reviews
I managed to get this printer working from the plug and play on Microsoft XP, I only directed the program to the included HP CD for the drivers to get it working. Horrible software. In order to use the scanner, I use a the Photoshop Starter Edition to obtain scanning images from the scanner. Nor did the software from their website. The software that came with the printer did not work.
I've had the HP for a couple of months now, so I've had a chance to run it through its paces. However, I use the scanner a lot, and particularly the auto-feed. It's a pain to assemble, but once that is done you won't have to deal with it again. Naturally problems with feeding sheets will also affect the product's performance as a copier.
If you use the HP scan software you will have better success, but be warned it is really, painfully slow. I bought this HP to replace a Canon that died shortly after the warranty period - the second Canon to do so, so I decided to try something different. It will often display "paper loaded" and then fail to feed the sheet, producing a pathetic clicking sound as it misses its grip. In other words, if you call a number with a fax that has to be started manually, or if you use a calling card that announces your balance before making a connection, then you will not be able to fax because the machine will detect that there is no handshake and disconnect. I do not recommend this machine - too many problems and too many compromises. All in all, this is a good printer, an OK flatbed scanner, a poor ADF scanner and fax, and not a fax for anyone who needs to depend on it. This is quirky; it jams frequently, and also skips pages. The scanner is quirky with Paperport 11 and I still have not worked out all of the settings to get it to work consistently, if not smoothly.
It is a pretty good printer, using reasonable amounts of ink and producing a sharply printed page. Finally the fax is OK but lacks a hook key. Other machines (including Canons I've had) have a hook button - you wait for the fax on the other end to transmit (listening to the call through the built-in speaker) and press send once you hear the tone, so the link can be made.
The printer initially wouldn't respond to the setup because I had it plugged into a hub instead of directly to the iMac USB ports. All operations except FAX, which I don't intend to use and didn't test, work fine. The instruction manual covers only the set up of the machine, with but nothing about the process of scanning, loading photo print paper, etc. The printer took the reported 20 minutes to initialize. I printed a color.jpg file, scanned & printed a b&w print, then scanned a text document, all with very good results. I haven't needed tech support, so I can't evaluate that. I also bought this HP L7590 OfficeJet Pro All In One Printer at a big box office supply store for $199. I downloaded the drivers from the HP site with no problem.
Have not done any scanning yet. After doing some research and receiving a 12% Off coupon from Best Buy, I went and made this purchase over the Labor Day weekend. I installed the printer on my network and went through the installation with no issues. I did download the newest software from hp.com for both my Vista laptop and Intel-based Imac.
As with the other reviews - the setup is time consuming - but does not require a lot of interaction - so I was able to do other things and was not overly bothered by this. Just two days in - but very pleased. Copies are excellent and the fax setup is just what I need.
Print quality seems very good.
I GOT A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT THIS BULKY, NOISY, JERKY PRINTER WAS GOING TO DO AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK. I HAVE AN HP FROM MANY YEARS AGO THAT HAS SERVED FAITHFULLY AND DONE VERY WELL BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MORE ROOM IN THE OFFICE AND GET RID OF "OLD BUBBA" OUR HUGE FAX MACHINE. WELL SETUP WENT SMOOTHER THAN EXPECTED, BUT UPON INITIALIZING THE MACHINE KEPT GIVING ME A PAPER JAM ERROR, THE PAPER WASN'T BEING FED INTO THE SYSTEM AT ALL AND YET IT JUST KEPT THROWING THIS "PAPER JAM" ERROR. I BELIEVE AFTER TWO HOURS OF WORKING ON THE MACHINE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE FEED MECHANISM WAS BROKEN. THE PRODUCT UPON UNPACKING FELT LIKE IT HAD TOO MUCH SPACE AND PARTS THAT COULD RATTLE AROUND AND GET KNOCKED OUT OF ALIGNMENT.
IT SEEMED TO ME THAT A NUMBER OF PURCHASERS HAD ONE PROBLEM OR ANOTHER AND AFTER GETTING THROUGH INSTALL TENDED TO LIKE IT OK. I GOT THIS AT A FAIRLY DECENT PRICE, HAD PROBLEMS UPON INSTALL AND THEN READ SEVERAL REVIEWS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I WILL PICK UP BUT I DEFINATELY WANT SOMETHING MORE DURABLE AND STREAMLINED.
