HP Deskjet 1112 Compact Printer (F5S23A)

I bought this printer on April 16, 2019. It fits in a very small space and although it was white, it has been a wonderful printer. I bought the HP63XL Ink to go with it (both the Color and the Black Ink.) Until recently I have had very few issues with this printer. The one thing I did notice was that after several months (probably after more then 6-8 months of use) the Printer Out of Ink Window stopped appearing. Who knows why!!!Other than clearing maybe one paper jam, and resetting my printer about once every 2 or 3 months, I haven't had any other issues with it. I have used it to print everything under the sun, from professional papers to applications, and all kinds of Address Labels, Signs, and Tax Paperwork, as well as numerous craft projects for Children's Church while using a variety of paper stock!!!The print quality was always excellent except of course, when ink was low!!! This printer has truly been a work horse, and certainly well worth the $30.00 plus tax that I paid for it!!!I did however, protect my investment by purchasing a 4 yr. Protection Plan from Asurion, and may have to use it very soon.The Sunday Morning before last I ran this printer out of ink, and had to cancel the print job. I got one good copy of my lesson for Children's Church and that was okay. This printer sat for over a week without any Black Ink in it. That's my fault, but the extra ink that I thought that I had has disappeared.Anyway, after working faithfully for almost a year and a half with very few issues, it won't print. I keep getting a "User Intervention Error." I will try again tomorrow to find a cure for my sweet little printer, but if I fail, I will be calling Asurion.Thank GOD, I have already purchased another Printer.This small compact printer was ONLY supposed to be a secondary printer!!! I bought it when my large ALL-in-One Printer Failed!!! However, due to the time and situation that I found myself in, (being gone 6 days a week to care for an ailing loved one) it has faithfully been my main printer for well over a year and has been doing a wonderful job up until now!!!I would definitely buy this printer again!!! But it's NOT available!!!Most mechanical items fail after prolonged use!!! Protect you investment - no matter how small - with a Protection Plan!!! They come in handy!!!

This is a printer. It does one thing...print.Then sits there until you ask it to print again.That is all I ask.Added bonuses:It's super light. The color is nice. It's small and folds up to be compact. It uses a common HP ink so easy to find replacement cartridges. It's cheap.The only cons I could see are:It prints pretty slowly...but what rush are you in? c'mon look at the price.You insert paper from the top, I prefer having a bottom loading trap...but why does that even matter? c'mon look at the priceI think this is because the ink cartridges are new, but the ink has like a very subtle "faded" look...but are we printing movie tickets or a corporate marketing campaign? c'mon look at the price.Perfect for the regular student and home use. If you want office quality printing buy a more expensive printer or go to Fedex/Staples.

My old HP DeskJet 940c finally broke after many years of reliable service. The 940c was HP's old version of a basic inkjet printer. I needed only a basic printer to replace it and wanted to stay with HP, so I got this model last month. It was easy to set up and seemed OK at first. Sometimes it would pick up an extra piece of paper so there would be a blank sheet in the middle of a print job, but that's not a major problem. I haven't had to print a lot since I've had it, no documents more than a few pages long.Today, I tried to print a one-page document on regular 20 lb. paper, and so many sheets went through that there was a paper jam. (I had even riffled through the paper before I inserted it so there would be air between the sheets.) I had to remove the jammed sheets and print again, this time with fewer sheets inserted in the paper "tray" on the top of the printer. It didn't jam, but all but one of the sheets from the paper area were pulled through. This is ridiculous. My old 940c had the paper tray on the bottom and had no paper jam problem, even with 24 lb. paper. My brother has a discontinued HP model that has the paper "tray" on the top like this 1112, but his doesn't have the paper jam problem. The older models were obviously better.The only good things about this printer are the low price and the fact that your first two toner cartridges (black and tricolor) are included. The toner cartridges are only about 2/3 the size of the toner cartridges that fit the 940c.I will stick with this printer for now since it's all I can afford. Fortunately, I don't need to do a lot of printing at this time.UPDATE 2/3/2017: I have changed my earlier two-star review to a one-star review. With my old printer that had larger toner cartridges, I was used to seeing the toner run out gradually -- if the black toner was low, anything printed in black would fade to lighter & lighter shades of gray. Today, I printed a one-page Excel spreadsheet document that is mostly black border lines and text with some cells filled in with pastel colors. I've printed this same page many times (blank shopping list). On the top half of the page, the black lines and text printed fine -- then they faded out COMPLETELY! I tried printing the page again, and there was no black at all, not even a tiny bit of gray! These are HP toner cartridges number 63 Black and 63 Tri-color. DON'T BUY ANY PRINTER THAT USES THESE CARTRIDGES -- they're just too small! Shop around to find out which HP cartridges are larger, and see what printers they fit. In the old days of Windows XP, you could check your estimated ink level, but Windows 7 (and probably all the later Windows) doesn't have this handy feature. If you have a larger cartridge than runs out gradually, at least you have some warning, but with these 63 cartridges you have no warning at all. This reminds me of the Volkswagen beetles in the very early 1960s -- they had NO gas gauge! When you realized you were running out of gas, you could push a button or pull a lever that would give you a little more gas from a small auxiliary tank, enough to get to a gas station. This is not a joke or urban legend -- my parents bought one and soon got rid of it.
