HP Officejet Pro L7680 Color All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (C8189A#ABA) Reviews
When tech support told me to uninstall, restart and try again for the 5th time, I popped my gasket. After 4 hours of trying to install the print driver, PLUS two calls to tech support (one of which lasted over an hour and one where I was on hold for 30 minutes and then disconnected)and an abortive tech support chat session, I am sending this printer back. I am running Vista and for some reason the installation fails 3/4 of the way through. I literally tried a dozen timesfrom the CD, downloading two different versions from the site.
I hope an HP rep reads these comments. I have been an HP fan for a long time, however the experiences that I just read about it making me re-consider. Thank you all for you reviews. The problems with limited English speaking support is a real deal breaker for me.
I had a problem with the printer leaking ink. After a couple of days the printer reported that the black cartridge was empty and had to be replaced. A week later it was reporting that the yellow cartridge was in the same state. I have never used the printer, having bought the unit for the scanner and fax.
In the end, I still give it 3 stars because the speed and quality are good, and it has a lot of handy functions. However, it has one big flaw that is easily overlooked. That would have been much better, and easier for HP too. I've been using this printer on my mixed Mac and Windows network for about 6 months. This is very frustrating. I have to say that setup was easy, the print quality is very good, and the unit is speedy. The pre-sales literature didn't mention this limitation, but HP's web site states: "NOTE: Two-sided copies cannot be made from legal-sized originals." The fact is, even one-sided copies cannot be made from double-sided legal-size originals.
This model was beyond my budget, but I bought it because it could do some things I really need. That's a serious design oversight. After setting it up, I discovered that, although it will do legal size scans & copies, and double-sided copies, it won't do both together. The feeder seems to have no way to get the other side of the original to the scanning head if the document is legal size. That is, it won't copy a double-sided original if it's legal size. The software on the Mac side has some big flaws, which is unfortunate because they could have just provided hooks into some standard Mac programs and done away with their own software altogether. But if you do a lot of scanning and/or work with double-sided legal-size originals, save your money and buy something else.
The machine never recovered from that jam: It continually jammed after I cleared it. The bad: On Day 6, the ADF jammed on a single sheet original that was ever so slightly bent I went to great lengths to flatten the original. But the ADF really needs to be more durable, so I just couldn't justify replacing it with another HP model. I spent an hour on the phone with HP support; and after exhausting all troubleshooting steps, they declared the machine dead and suggested I return it. - The features were ideal for my small office environment.
I liked the duplexing capability for scanning/printing/copying using the automatic document feeder (ADF). I wanted medium-duty scanning/printing/copying, maybe send the occasional fax. I'm going to give the Canon MP7600 a try. I do give HP credit for the rep being knowledgeable about the product, and for letting me cut my losses rather than spend days trying to resolve it. - Setup/installation/operation was pretty easy. I didn't get into too many advanced functions while I had it.
The good:.
