Durable printer with many features not found in modern printers. Two-sided automatic, no-chip cartridges, superb "draft" quality. Two-point type size is printed with miraculous clarity!

One of the Reviews is excellent and I will make highlights. WE have 6 of these at the Campus Computer Club and in draft mode will easily put out 1500 copies and in color another 500+ copies. The ink cartridges and performance just don't compare to anything out there except maybe an Epson with the 10cc replaceable ones. Photo inks are again superb. HP's support for Windows XP and software drivers for Windows XP superb. Will duplex without a hitch with the XP based software. For those with Vista of Windows 7. Duplex mode will not work as HP has of yet to supply the software. Yet, single page mode is excellent. Drawback: HP produced this printer back in 2002-2003 and even though you can get lots of new or refurbished ink, HP has no incentive or plans to post upgraded software for VISTA or WINDOWS7.Read full review
Duplex printer from HP with extra large ink cartridges so frequency of replacement is low. Rarely gives a fit when it comes to paper handling. A little on the slow side as unit delays printing on the opposite side to allow ink to dry between pages. This can be adjusted down but it's still slow. I timed it in the fastest position at 20 seconds per page. Four choices of print quality. Great software which allows many printing options and adjustments. Great price for a decent printer. Watch out for remanufactured cartridges for this unit though. HP has designed the cartridges so that refill is very very difficult. I'd give excellent rating if the speed were faster and refilling cartridges was easier.
This is my second HP Printer...not by choice, they are supplied with the company laptop and I guess they get a great deal on these things....I can see why! Sure, it has its pros: Once it gets started - there always seems to be a delay before this thing clicks into gear and gets going - it is pretty fast! It is supposed to print 20 black and white pages a minute or 13 color pages...I am not too sure if it actually does this, but nonetheless its pretty fast! The quality is great too - certainly cannot complain there - and it even has an option to print double sided which few printers at this price level offer! If you are using photo paper, it will also print out some quality pictures that are vivid and not as grainy as some photo printers! HP sells this as particularly useful for those looking for high volume printing...but here is the problem...you hit print, your paper tray is loaded (and not too loaded)...you are expecting lots of copies and quickly...BUT you have to babysit this, as all too often the paper gets jammed or it starts to feed multiple pieces of paper at once and shuts down....then you have to pull it apart and after which point it prints reams of rubbish and you have to reset it! Also the tray is very cheap and flimsy and the parts keep falling off...I have gone through two of these through work...each one the same!! Finally it does this clunking thing after each print session...sometimes its jamming , sometimes it just sounds like this...either way, that is annoying! I have another HP printer that is just great but this 6122 model, is more trouble than good!!Read full review
I bought the printer for two reasons. It uses the 51645 ink cartridge which is easy to refill and it does two sided printing automatically. I have used several HP printers of this basic class and all have performed very well. This one however has a problem with the paper jamming when it cycles to print the second side. The printer was used and probably has hidden damage. I had no problems with a previous model 6122. I think in the future I will not buy a used product that is being sold for less than the cost of shipping. Chances are you will get a flawed product. It is really not fair to rate a product that was not purchased new.
