 HP Officejet 7000 Wide paper handling problems with tabloid size paper July 29, 2010
Jacek Tuszynski (chic)

I bought my printer from Office MAX along with their warranty which is to me lifesaver,
After experience with Epson workforce 1100 printer and 7 minutes per tabloid size print in best photo mode I switched to HP 7000
Epson gave me small binding lines in every printing mode and printing sometimes 50 or more tabloid size prints with 7 minutes printing time simply is not what I can do.
With Office jet 7000 speed and print quality is great in best mode. In normal gives you some kind of reverse banding with overlapping ink creating regular darker lines.(experience with 5 of them) But best mode is fairly fast and nice quality.
THE BIG PROBLEM OF THIS PRINTER IS PAPER HANDLING. If you print on letter size text paper or even 80# postcard / cover paper the printer is ejecting the pieces mostly in normal fashion. The best part comes when you are trying to print on Tabloid size paper or better Glossy Tabloid size paper. Printer is not able to eject the heavy piece of paper after finishing of the print.
The small tiny metal rollers located on exit side of the printer (just after the space where the print head is moving) have no grip on #100 heavy paper (and "0" - grip on glossy heavy paper) and are just sliding on the surface.
In effect if you do not remove the piece in the right moment the printer is sucking the paper back / sideways pressing on the edge of the next coming piece of paper and damaging the edge. After you remove the paper Next print is just about 2" piece of image ( wasted piece of paper) THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH 5 pieces of this OfficeJet 7000. Since I had the warranty from Office Max having problem I simply replaced the printer. The last one I replaced had IDENTICAL HANDLING PAPER STYLE / ISSUES like the new one I brought home.
I called the HP support and after 2 days of disconnected phones and learning how to understand people in India finally I was taking to somebody who promised to send me REFURBISHED REPLACEMENT. I declined since it doesn't solve the issue. Exactly same printer with exactly same paper handling mechanism is going give me exactly same problem.
Few days ago to my amazement I got another call from HP where nice girl (without Indian Accent) offered to send me as replacement
hp Photosmart B8550 photo printer. I checked this new printer on display in local Microcenter and it has exactly same paper handling mechanism. (This is just better version of the 7000 model) So I am going decline. This is going be same story - new printer same paper handling problem.
Since there is no other comparable printer with 4 inks tabloid size on the market I think I am going try to glue to the tiny metal wheels some TINE PIECES OF STYREFOAM covered in rubber glue. It should increase the grip and hopefully solve the problem.
Is quite apparent that HP never actually fully tested their product before releasing. They should replace the metal wheels with rubber rollers.
 Works with Snow Leopard July 16, 2010
Ivan Price Jr. (North Carolina)
Though the box only says 10.5 this printer worked with 10.6 Snow Leopard right out of the box. I'm using a Mac Pro with the Intel Nahalem processor. I set up the printer, loaded the software and it worked immediately. There is an update for 10.6 on the HP web site. It's 140 Mb so you can wait until you have an opportunity to start the download and walk away. Fast printing.
 Very disappointing May 29, 2010

I purchased this printer to use with 12 x 12 scrapbooking. I have yet to make a page because I can't seem to keep ink in the machine long enough to create a page. Plus the few photos I have printed have lines in them. I have cleaned it twice in the short time I have had the printer but it doesn't seem to help. It will not take 4 x 6 photo paper and isn't very happy with the 8.5 x 11. Very disappointing!!!
Printer cable not included! April 12, 2010

Since it's not set up yet, I can't comment on the print quality, speed or anything else since it did not come with a printer cable! I live 50 miles from the nearest city, which is why I ordered this online. Since the cable is NOT included, I will have to drive 50 miles to buy the cable I need to hook it up! Absolutely ridiculous!!
 Fairly priced and reliable March 14, 2010

Please be aware, before buying this printer, that it uses traditional four-color (cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK)) technology. While four-color printing is the standard for offset color printing (i.e.: the process used by commercial printing plants), this printer is not capable of producing the lifelike continuous tones of a six-or-more color printer designed for printing photographs. That doesn't mean it's bad for its intended use--the speedy printing of typical business documents on plain paper, or getting output that simulates the four-color offset printing process--but it does mean that shoppers looking for photographic-quality output should look for a different printer better suited to that objective.
On behalf of a family member who works as a commercial artist, I wanted a large-format printer to replace a pair of ancient Epsons that constantly clogged. I bought a new large-format Epson (Workforce 1100--see my review) thinking that 15 years of development since my old printers were made would mean Epson had solved the clogging problem. I was mistaken--it clogged almost immediately and took multiple ink-consuming cleaning cycles to clear before it clogged again--so I returned it.
I was somewhat wary of this OfficeJet 7000, since it has gotten some very articulate and feature-specific negative reviews on Amazon. However, I took a chance because A. there are very few large-format inkjet printers available, and B. those that HP sells specifically for graphics users (DesignJets) hover around the $1000 mark--They may be very good printers, but I didn't want to spend that much.
Making sure that the local store I bought my OfficeJet 7000 from had a reasonable return policy, I dragged the large box home and began to unpack it. The first thing that surprised me was seeing that it has built-in ethernet--a rare feature among printers in this price range. While I don't need to network the printer at the moment, and I don't know how well it works, it's nice to know we have that option down the road, without buying additional hardware. I connected it via USB (you'll need your own cable), and got to work.
Installation of the printhead and supplied starter inks was fast and easy, and the software installed quickly on my Mac (OS X). As I recall, the printer then started its own ink priming/calibration routine that took about 15 minutes--a one-time thing, unless you want to manually run it again later (I have not had to).
With its print driver set to maximum quality, output quality on the 7000 (from Adobe Illustrator on a Mac) is very good--Again, for its intended use of printing business documents and graphic designs with solid blocks of color, not photos intended for framed art. In general, output colors are very bright and close to what I see on the screen--and this is on plain paper--although darker colors (like deep browns) appear just a bit washed out, and there is no setting I can find in the print driver to directly fine-tune this density.
Speaking of software, the 7000 comes with a decent CD that not only inserts the usual controls for various basic printer settings into the OS-level print dialog (OS X, in my case), but includes gadgets that let you run utilities on the printer such as head cleaning and additional calibration cycles (haven't needed it) and track what you've printed and how often you've interacted with the printer for such events as ink cartridge changes. Just keep in mind, if you are a user looking for endless print output tweakability, this software doesn't have much--It was clearly designed for the simplicity that business users want. The good news, as I mentioned above, is that I've found its output to be quite color-accurate without a lot of tweaking, even if the dark mixed colors suffer a bit (black is fine). However, if you really want press-proof quality output, check out one of the HP printers designed for the graphic arts.
Like all inkjets, the OfficeJet 7000 is built on the model of selling you the printer relatively cheaply, then making money for the manufacturer on your future ink purchases. I can accept this reality, and the less-than-perfect color calibration (of dark colors) if I know the printer will work reliably, and so far this 7000 has been a champ. After years of dealing with the endless clogs (and unreplaceable printheads) of Epson printers, I am luxuriating in the sheer joy and novelty of a printer that just uncomplainingly puts ink down on paper without clogging every ten minutes. It's been six weeks and not a single clog. And while I would characterize the 7000's actual printing speed as "pretty fast" compared to my retired Epsons, the biggest improvement in overall output speed has come from simply not having to take time out to unclog the old Epsons' finicky heads.
As for reviews that mention paper jams, I can only guess that such reviewers got lemons, because my 7000 has been jam-free from the beginning, even with light cardstock that has to bend around a paper path that starts with the front-load tray. I would have preferred a printer with the option of a straight-through paper path (like the Epson Workforce 1100) for heavier stock, but that's a minor quibble when you consider how much more reliable it has been.
