My daughter got one as a freebie in a bundle with a new PC. She liked the printer she already had, and knew that I didn’t have a printer for the Franken-puter I built last year, so she gave it to me. (Prior to this, I’ve been using my Epson Stylus RX620 3-in-1 printer/scanner as a network printer, but I have to have the old machine it’s running on in the other room on at the same time.)
Let me reiterate: The HP DeskJet D2680 SUCKS!!!!
Yes, the HP DeskJet D2680 SUCKS!!!!
And, not to put too fine a point on it, the HP DeskJet D2680 SUCKS!!!!
Not only does it go through (expensive, non-refillable) ink like a 426 Hemi goes through hi-test, it can’t seem to print more than three pages before locking up the print spooler in the middle of a page. Sometimes it can’t even print one entire page.
Apparently this is a known issue. It’s been known for a while. And HP still hasn’t fixed it.
No wonder they’re giving these things away for free. If they actually sold them as printers, they’d be sued for fraud.
