Pros Great photos at a fairly cheap price
Cons No features of newer printers (no LCD, no direct camera-connection, no card slots). A bit...
Recommended it? Yes

Ever since my first child was born I've been a bit of a photo-holic. As a computer geek who takes tons of pictures, it seemed only logical to get a printer that could print good quality photographs. After much research we settled on the Hewlett Packard DeskJet 5550 Thermal Inkjet Printer back in... Read full review »

Pros Great printer for moderate use!
Cons None so far!
Recommended it? Yes

I have been somewhat jinxed when it comes to printers in my office at work. I had previously been more or less forced to use Epson printers to be compatible with Macs but changes in the last few years have me on a PC now. When I needed a new printer last year, I didn't have to think twice about the... Read full review »

Fantastic printer - 5 years old and going strong

Pros Great quality, easy to find cartridges, no jams.
Cons Noisy.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this printer when it first came out. I was tired of Epson and Canon printers that consumed ink like oxygen and were forever jamming or giving me problems. As a social sciences student, I print a lot of journal articles and my own authored papers, so I need something that works every time,... Read full review »

So far the most durable printer I have owned yet.

bymodifyed Jun 29, 2009
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Durable, easy to use and set up. Hasn't failed me yet in 4 years.
Cons Inks are a little pricey and there are no added docking or memory ports.
Recommended it? Yes

My brother bought me a Deskjet 5550 for my birthday about 4 years ago after he watched me struggle with an old Cannon printer that I rebuilt several times. It has lasted me the four years so it has my rating of very durable due to the fact I print a lot of documents for work on it. I will admit a... Read full review »

I've had my Hewlett Packard 5550 Deskjet printer for about 3 ? years now (it came with the Mac Powerbook G4 when I bought it).

HP 5550 deskjet I've had it for many years

Pros Slow but reliable. Can obtain inexpensive refills at Walgreens.
Cons Slow.
Recommended it? Yes

Doesn't use much ink, prints slow as molasses. Probably like 1 sheet per minute. I refill the cartridges inexpensively at Walgreen's Drug Store (I'm so glad they offer this service). Very few paper jams. Wanted to replace it with a printer and scanner combo that uses the same cartridges (for... Read full review »

Horrible

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros The only pro as far as I'm concerned is that is stylish.
Cons The cons are that it completely fails at printing.
Recommended it? No

This printer is by far the worst printer money can buy. It came with our Apple and worked fine for a little while. Yet, all of a sudden, when hooking up the wireless Internet, something happened. Well, it just stopped working. Anytime, we want to print something, we must restart the wireless... Read full review »

Pros This printer is a WORKHOUSE and can handle just about anything
Cons Might be hard to find, I think HP has upgraded to a newer model
Recommended it? Yes

I got this printer several years ago marked down at Target to $12. It's one of the best investments I ever made, and it saved me from losing an important account.

I have a small company that does corporate training, and I spent so long putting together a training manual for a client that... Read full review »
