Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide between buying the Hewlett Packard 5150, 5550 or 5650 inkjet printer. I'm going to be using the printer mainly for text, but will also be printing documents containing text and graphics/photos, so the quality of print is important to me Does anyone have any feedback on experiences they've had with any of these printers? Thanks, Joanne

The DeskJet 5650 is the fastest of the three. The 5550 and 5650 have automatic paper sensors which will adjust the printing automatcally for plain paper, inkjet papers, transparencies or photo papers. The 5150 and 5650 will print true 4 sided borderless photo prints on 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 8.5x11 and various metric sized photo papers. The 5650 has a front panel selection for print quality, in addition to the driver setting methods that are provided on the 5650 and the others. The 5850 is like the 5650 but has built-in networking, both wired and wireless. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP

I have just bought a 5652 and works great( a little noisy in draft mode).If you want to print more text , buy the 6122 that has 42 ml black. Question to Bob (again):Bob this noise in draft mode is normal?Should i use a little grease?

It is normal for a printer to be a bit more noisy in draft mode. In this mode the printer is making the tradeoff to optimize for speed and less about noise. Do not grease anything in the printer as you can cause damage. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP

Do you think that the 45 and 78 carts are better than 56 57 ? Should i have buy the 6122? Or these printers that use carts (45 78) will become discontinued?

The 45 and 78 cartridges are used in a different type of printers than the 56 and 57. The 56/57 is a newer design and allows (in some printers) the use with the photo #58 and/or photo gray 59 cartridges. I would not expect any of these cartridges to be discontinued in this decade. HP is still making cartridges first released some 20 years ago. There are a *lot* of printers that use these cartridges. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP

I do not think the printer should lose its alignment with a power off, but a DeskJet printer should always be plugged into a live outlet rather than a switched outlet like a power strip of UPS. The printer uses very little power in standby mode (I believe all current DeskJet printers are "Energy Star" certified). If the printer is disconnected from a power source it will lose track of how long it has been since the last print job and may use more ink in servicing the next time it goes to print.
