Very neat, compact design, that doesn't take up too much space. I love the way you toss something in, hit copy, and it prints out the copy, not just makes a file of it! It is easy to use, and has the buttons where you can see them clearly on the front. Its Cheaper that way! BUT when I bought the HP psc1315 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier, I changed my mind. Those that are cheap as possible, use them til ink runs out, then toss and buy a new one. It has now become the norm in our family to buy "disposable" printers. It seems these days, that they are getting cheaper, while the ink for them is getting more expensive. I have always been skeptical of printers. True The psc1315 all-in-one printer has what it takes. It also has a picture bridge feature that I have never used because I like to edit my pictures on my computer first but I would imagine this could be a nice feature if you were printing pictures from your printer. I would see this isn't a top of the line printer so I would not get it if I was doing graphic design work or for a business but for a personal use it works great.
We did have one problem with the printer and computer working together I think that was actually a problem with the computer because we recently got a new computer and it works just fine with the new computer. I would defiantly suggest getting an all in one printer for college and this was a good option. I used this going through college and I can't tell you how many times this saved me from getting a bad grade at the last minute with the copier and scanning option. I got this printer several years ago and I have really enjoyed it. I have owned about a dozen printer-scanners in my time, but for my time and money the **HP PSC 1315 All-In-One** is the *only* one for me! The price is quite reasonable and the fact that I tote it about and it still is functioning as well as the day I purchased it is a tribute to its durability/reliability.
Even friends and relatives that are visiting and need to print, copy or scan a document or even a photo can operate it without the instruction manual or much tutoring on my part.
Connecting/installation is really simple. To me the best quality of all this machine has is it's simplicity. I have used it in my home and also taken it with me to the office. It has a simple grey/silver color with a simple tinted plastic paper tray and cover. The **1315 All-In-One** has a sleek and sophisticated style that looks very professional. The ink cartriges are simple to replace, the quality of print is excellent (in either color or black and white), the scanner and copier are a snap to use and the paper is easy to load or change.
Being compact and easy to use, I recommend it to PC users of all different needs and skill levels. In the past year or so, I have been through numerous computers, keyboards, mouses and other computer accessories but have continued to rely on this printer. **The Hewlett Packard PSC 1315 All-In-One Ink Jet Printer** is one piece of computer equipment I never get tired of. There is also a handy UBS port in the front of the unit to allow you to print photo's straight from your camera, but I cannot speak to that function because I have never used it. I have had this printer for about 8 years now and it is still going strong even after many car trips over school vacations and a few moves it runs great!ĭesign is fine, no complaints, the color scheme is appealing and does not fade over time. Sometimes it takes a little bit for the scan button to tell the computer to open the scanning software, so you can open it manually first and save some time.
Pretty easy to use when you've got it all set up and the software installed.
I do not know how to describe the paper usage, it doesn't often ruin any, so that's good! The ink lasts quite a while, even if has been sitting for a few months it will still be good, and if not just shake the cartridges and get a few more weeks-months out of them depending on how often you print. But for the typical home office or college student, it is great!
Print quality is good in both color and black and white, Rarely get any problems unless there are 2 sheets of paper in the feeder and it grabs both at once.Ĭopies are nearly identical to the original, it is a simple machine so it does 1 sheet at a a time not a stack like some more sophisticated equipment. It does them all well, but takes more time that some newer more expensive models. This printer does what it says it does printing, copying, and scanning.
