Sometime last week the old printer at our Oakland shop decided to permanently go on strike, so I was called up again to find a good printer to replace it.

As usual, I went online to do some research; after a couple hours I decided to recommend two printers and let my boss choose the one he wants. My first choice was either the HP OfficeJet 7310 or the 7410 and the other one was this HP Photosmart 2575 all-in-one printer. The same day my boss went to Costco Wholesale and purchase this Photosmart 2575 xi for the shop (they actually have three models: Photosmart 2575, Photosmart 2575v, and Photosmart 2575xi). Now I had to drive all the way from South San Francisco to Oakland in broad daylight; can you just imagine the traffic?


HARDWARE & SOFTWARE INSTALLATION :
Setting up the printer was quick and easy because the installation guide properly instructs you through step by step on what to do to get the printer to get up and running. It took me less than fifteen minutes to unpack and setup the unit.

For some reason, HP made their software installation a bit of a pain. There is nothing wrong with it, but it just takes too long. And since we have the slowest computer of all at the Oakland shop, it took me even longer to install the software and the drivers. But overall, it is definitely worth the wait because the software and drivers are what make this printer go, but you can also print, copy, or scan without a computer also.


THE MANUAL :
The user manual is very simple to read and comprehend; everything is easy to find. The manager at the Oakland show does not know how to work a computer, but with a little help from the user manual he will be operating this machine with both his hands tied behind his back. HP has always done a really good job in writing all their user manuals because all of the one's I have ever used are really easy to read and understand.
