GOT THE PRINTER NEXT DAY AFTER READING THE REVIEWS AND WAS A DUBIOUS WHEN IT ARRIVED COS THERE'S NOT MUCH TO IT!
I WAS WRONG, CRACKING LITTLE PRINTER CAME WITH COULERED AND BLACK INK!
YOU DO NEED TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN USB CABLE THOUGH!
SUPRISINGLY FAIRLY QUICK AND PRINTING
EXCELLENT
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great value for money Comment: I only needed this printer for small word documents to be printed so i wasn't too bothered about the quality or speed of this printer. however just to test it out when i received it first i tried out its Internet Explorer plug-in, which allows you to drag around any part of a web page and print ONLY that selection. i tried this with a colour page and it produced quickly a high quality print off. This was a pleasant surprise to me, as a printer for this money should be rubbish.
it comes with introductory cartridges, not sure how long they will last, but the replacement hp 21(black) and 22(colour) cartridges cost together just over £16. or even less when really bargain hunting.
its best feature to me is its size. its almost smaller thatn your average bread bin, even with the paper flap open.
the only downside to me is its paper alignment flap. it has a small bit of plastic to push the paper to the right, yet when you do this the paper gets scrunched up on that side. ive found that it infact needs to be pushed up against the moveable part to the left instead to get the paper in straight when printing. a small flaw i know, but there aren't any others of which to mention.
i'd definitely recommend this to anyone on a budget, but still wants quality.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Cheap little printer Comment: I only wanted a printer for occasional light use. This seemed to be the perfect option, however when printing black and white text (I do not print with colour very often) it will start at the top of the page well but by the time it has got to the bottom of the page the ink is so faded that you cannot read the text. When it is put on a higher quality setting it fades random lines so that they cannot be read. I did not expect a lot as it is so cheap but i did expect to be able to read what it printed. I have to say that I am very disappointed and will not be buying from HP again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic Printer for the Price Comment: Got this little baby several days ago and it is a fantastic machine for its price.
At the £20 most retailers are requesting, HP provides an incredibly lightweight but pretty strong/solid machine with a small power-supply (about 4 matchboxes 2x2 high). The plug's cable is fairly decent, a good meter or two in length. Essentially HP packages all you need: (bar a USB cable that can be purchased separately for a few £) well diagrammed instructions, driver CD and an "introductory" set of cartridges.
Cartridges can be replaced for not too much with various retailers and PC stores doing their own branded sets for less than the already fairly standard pricing for Official ink. For photographers and those dealing with a lot of colour, it perhaps may not be so worth investing in as individual colours can't be replaced with the D1460, but for casual users and those dealing with a lot of black/white document, it's definitely worth every penny.
Printing quality itself is exceptional, and surprisingly fast. As an example I printed an A4 text-only document and it flew by at 6 pages in less than 30 seconds. The mechanisms are fairly quiet, though starting and aligning the printer head for each print can be a little noisy at times.
Compared to the more expensive printers I've used, including a laser (now broken) and other small ink jet printers from other brands, I can definitely vouch for the D1460 as an option to consider over other similar priced machines for standard text and image documents.
Don't forget your USB cable!
Customer Rating:      Summary: A good value printer with some minor points Comment: Firstly to say the Amazon.co.uk price is very good in Curries Digital its £30! So its another good price from amazon!
Here are some of the minour points about the printer :
It is rarther annoying and quiet franky a bit offencive that their isn't a USB cable inside the box, and they only include "Introductory" ink cartages and the HP ink is almost as expencive as the printer it self with not a huge anount of ink.
Secondly the printer only holds about 50 A4 papers which isn't alot, and their isn't really a tray for the printed pages which means that paper jams are a common.
Overall I was pleased with the printer for the budget I had and would recomend it.
