 Great printer... January 7, 2009
Ronald Pumphrey (Fair Oaks, California USA)
I am beyond pleased with this printer. I purchased it as a back up printer. It has become my primary printer I use.
HP Deskjet 6988 review December 28, 2008
Eleanor J. Demuth (Waverly, IA)
I just set up the printer a week ago. The instructions were simple but for some reason, the CD to download with the driver would not complete the process. It would go so far then state installation unsuccessful. I finally had to go the the HP website to download a driver. I do have Windows XP and a 2 year old computer so that should not have been the problem. The printer works very well and the colors are pristine. It does shake the desk it sits on while printing though. I have not tried any other functions yet. I would recommend it but make sure you know how to find a driver, just in case. I did not buy it for the wireless properties, just wanted a really good printer for my cards that I make. I am sure it would work well for wireless, also. I am ready for wireless if I ever need it.
Nice wireless printer December 12, 2008
garyyager (Suwanee, GA United States)
Very good wireless printer. It has both wired and wireless network connections. It's easy to set up using the wired network connection. Then once the router knows the address of the printer you can continue to used the wired connection if you want to keep the printer near the router. Or simply unplug it from the router and move the printer anywhere, it's wireless!
Setup was simple:
-plugged it in to a port on the back of wireless router
-ran set up program on PC
-disconnected it from router
-put it in it's permanent location
Now I can print wirelessly from anywhere in the house. The print quality and speed are typical of any newer HP inkjet. The printer is slightly wider than most other inkjets. But the flexibility of connecting to it directly via a USB cable or wired or wireless network make it hard to beat. Not to mention if you use wireless connection, you have the flexibility to but it anywhere. Nice.
Wireless printing, 'bout time December 11, 2008
J. M. Wetterich (Burlington, KY)
The only reason I did not give this 5-stars is because it did not take me 10-minutes to install. I think the issues had more to do with Vista than the printer, but still. The first problem was because the printer thought it was one IP address while plugged via the network cable into my router (for initial configuration). Then, when I unplugged it and the wireless turned on, it picked up another IP address. The Vista drivers did not pick this change up and when I tried to manually change them Vista would not let me. I had to restart my PC to get them to take effect. The whole ordeal was closer to an hour.
However, the device is working as intended and I did not need to call Tech Support so that's a plus. It also appears to print fine. I was somewhat disappointed to discover there was only one color cartridge rather than the typical three but whatever.
The printer does shake when it prints. I initially put it on a poorly made bookshelf. I would advise placing this thing on something fairly sturdy. The print heads move back and forth quite vigorously. But you you should already know that about Deskjet printers, right?
One other thing: Some other guy said he didn't have a sticker on his. Well, I did and I noticed some others said they did as well. If you have the sticker you'll probably be better off leaving it on than risking the sticky residue left-over from trying to pull it off. I still haven't figured out a good way to get this off - warm water and the dull end of a butter knife?
Good printer, sticky label December 3, 2008
Stephen Liang (Chicago, IL)
The printer itself is fairly quick, silent, and trustworthy. I did not install the HP software and ran off just the drivers wirelessly on Vista x64.
There's this sticky stuff on the top of the printer which can't be removed by just water. I gave 75% rubbing alcohol, 25% water a shot (doesn't leave streaks) and came off like magic. Used a cloth to pick up the adhesive while still wet and applied the solution again to make sure everything's off.
Sexy thing!
