Average ink jet printer at a good price <$40
(3 out of 5) by S. Hester on May 2, 2008 (Phoenix, AZ United States)The HP D2530 is just your average ink jet printer, and at $39.99, with free shipping, it is a good value. My only complaint is that it came with only the tri-color cartridge; no black cartridge included. The tri-color cartridge does, however, print in a light, almost brown, black. For less than $40 what do you expect? The reality is that HP and the other manufactures earn their profit on the ink and lose on the printer itself.

Exactly what i wanted
(5 out of 5) by Bethany Pevy on Apr 22, 2009this printer is cheap, small, and easy to use. installing it (on a mac) was quick and simple. it prints really fast and it takes up virtually no space on my desk. My old printer died and i needed something simple to just print the occasional paper on so for my purposes this printer is perfect.
oh and just as a heads up:
1. dosent come with black ink, but it comes with a color cartridge that will print nearly black.
2. no connection cord, but it's just the standard device to computer cord, it costs like 6 dollars if you dont already have one just lying around.
i can see how those things could be annoying but honestly the printer's cheap what do you expect?

Awful little printer
(1 out of 5) by somebodyoranother on Dec 18, 20081. No connection cord to the computer
2. No black cartridge (as other people have stated); I thought this wouldn't be a problem since the printer is cheap but it's still annoying.
3. I can't use it. Every single time I try to use this printer, I get a paper jam error. I can't print anything. I've done everything I can think of but I get the error message even when there is just 1 piece of paper in the printer. The paper isn't even jammed. Since I just need a basic printer for grad school, I'm really annoyed about this.
If I knew I'd get my money back, I'd return it. Don't buy this printer.

You get less than you pay for!
(1 out of 5) by D. Olson on Sep 21, 2008 (Monson, Me. United States)This printer came without black ink and without the cord to attach it to the computer. It doesn't have enough memory to print a long address list and the memory can not be increased under options. There is no help section on the installation disk. It is O.K. for small jobs and that is all.
