Yes, I saw the Amazon availability but price didn't fit my definition of inexpensive... Seems, in my opinion at least, an obsolete printer should be selling...
considering the misery these printers have caused many of us, why would you buy one? Honestly I think it's wasted money as I believe the quality control for...
This is definitely a bad idea. Even when these printers were in production it quickly became obvious that HP was not committed to the long term success of...
I hear, understand and appreciate the arguments against the B8850. Those points are why I was hoping to get the printer at a reduced price. I also think the...

... Try Staples jut bought one at 99.90€ The inks (8) cost 220€.... Nevertheless couldn't install the software either on XP or W7, and the software for the...
I have no idea if they'll introduce a new printer let alone when it might be available. But waiting for a new Canon or buying an Epson 3880 is better than...
Hopefully the Canon has larger ink carts and it would likely be a great replacement for the HP printers ... From: migtexone To: hp9100Series@yahoogroups.com ...
It seems that my problem currently is to assemble the waste tank correctly. Something is wrong, since the parts don't move and come out as they should. I will...
Check the gears under the cover on the underside of the waste tank, on one of my printers I found that the shaft one of these gears runs on had sheared;...
Bob, you asked how many would recommend the B8850. I've had mine for a few years. It's now sitting on my desk unplugged. I initially got some great B&W...
Good point! Is there a way to force the B8850 to align or re-calibrate using just the 3 front buttons? (like power on , keep the power button pressed and press...
I have a Photosmart Pro B9180. When I try to print on 13" x 19" paper from the main tray, it sends a message to open the specialty tray door which does...
... this sound like you have selected the wrong settings for printing, wrng paper tray selected. As I'm not very fimiliar with Mac OS I can not explain where...
... it's amazing how often I read such stuff here. When we started using our B8850, we only had some problems when printing on 13x18cm papers from the main...
Jay, I have seen this behavior before where the driver will change the tray setting on you. Before you hit print make sure that you go back to the printer...
I'm puzzled by this thread. Am I the only user still pleased with the 8850? I've had mine exactly two years now, and it still produces prints without problems,...
... I have the same reaction to the B9180. I've had some minor problems that were corrected by a little preventive maintenance -- cleaning -- but I also get...
I also have a 9180 and like it allot. I don't print all the time vut when I do it comes to life and does beautiful prints. Most of the issues I have had have...
... I've had my 8850 only 6 or so months, but I am very happy with it so far. It produces some beautiful prints, and I really like the way it checks/cleans...
hi jay-I had a problem with printing thru the specialty tray and ultimately via a tech call back some time ago it was determined that the sensor that controls...
Hello Dutyhog, ... no, I own a 9180 and I like it. In out photo club he use a 8850 and we use it mostly for pritings during special events. And this is a great...
I felt exactly that way until my printer went completely dead a few days after the warranty expired. I baggered HP into letting me buy a cheap refurb and a 3...
Thanks again to all thread contributors. Given the continued high, to me at least, B8850 prices and some of the feedback here I've decided to continue my wait...
... Thanks for the info. I have a Canon i9100 and an HP B9180. I always liked the Canon except it used die inks and was lousy for B&W. The 9500 might be...
Had 9180 2 years, done 511 A3 prints. Slight lining black head recently; took it out; washed with distilled water, replaced, all fine again. As recommended in...

I'll have to agree; I love my 9180 to death and have had very little problems with it (knock on formica!) although I've had it replaced twice. Although I've ...
