HP Deskjet 2541 All In One Wireless Printer (A9U19A)

I ordered this printer on Tuesday and asked for expedited delivery. The printer I ordered was a standard Deskjet 2541 All in One Wireless, however, I received a "Limited Edition" model of the same printer. The order arrive on Thursday, a day earlier than promised, HOWEVER, the Bill of Lading stated, "Brand New Limited Edition Version, Box Opened To Check For Contents, "Missing INK" HAS Power Cord, USB Cord and Install Disc." Contacted HP Customer Support for installation assistance. After approximately 90 minutes, the support person told me ALL printers are shipped with an initial ink cartridge which is NEEDED for the installation process. I had purchased a full new cartridge prior to the installation which customer service indicated is NOT the desired way to set up a new printer. The HP Customer Service representative encouraged me to return the printer and purchase another one. The very helpful HP CS representative told me he had never taken more than 5-10 minutes to set up a new installation and seem to indicate something might have occurred at the retailer sending the "NEW" printer to me since the limited new black cartridge that should have been in the package was not there when I opened the packed and the Bill of Lading indicated it was missing. Not representative of the usual high quality of product and service received from Amazon. Reseller on the Bill of Lading was AraratExchange

I don't use the printer often. So the product worked well the first time I used it. But after sometime past the printer would not work properly. I'm not happy with it but to much time has passed, for me to return the printer.

Exactly what I was expecting. My existing printer quit working and had a ton of ink left. Got this and the ink works in this just as good. Wifi is a little tricky but manageable.

The ink nozzles are constantly clogged, and have to clear themselves more often than usual. However, eventually this stopped working on ink stopped coming out of the nozzles properly. The printer's scanning function was fine.I'm giving it 2 stars because it worked ok when it was actually functioning properly.

This has been a great little printer. I have had it several years now. The only issue is with the wifi connecting to a modern/secured access point secured with wpa2. The HP software will not work any longer for a secured access points (any even wep or wpa) To get around this do the followingConnect the printer to a windows pc via USB cable,Download and install the HP software following the directionsReboot your PCUpdate the firmware of the printer (separate download from HP website)Connect your PC to an open access point (Open - no security) - this does not actually need to be on the internet - you can just use an old AP/router you have laying around.Convert the printer to a wifi printer using the HP softwareLook on the AP/Router and determine the IP of the printeropen the IP of the printer in a web browserThen change the printers network settings via the webpage to the SSID and security you want it to have (supports wep, wpa, wpa2)Connect your PC to that same secured AP/RouterLoop up the IP of the printer from the secured AP/RouterChange the port on your existing printer in windows to the new IP (or let the HP software find an existing wifi printer)This whole process takes about 15 minsThe ink is somewhat expensive - 40-45ish for 640 black pages but it does print nice, its fast and the scans and copies are easy too.For a small home office printer / scanner- its hard to beat.

I have confidence that it will work well for me. I haven't open the package up yet.

I have this printer for 4 months. It works good but the HP policy enforces you to buy expensive ink from them. When I refill the ink, it keeps complaining, and then stop working. I didn't do anything to the printer, but it doesn't work after printing a few pages. Next print request is rejected with 'ink cartridge failure' which is solely because the software detects the same old cartridge is used. I replaced it with another old cartridge and the same happens. For economic printing you should look for a laser printer.

This printer is complete garbage. Bought on sale for about 40% off and now I see why they were blowing them out. Print quality is terrible when the printer decides to print, you hardly get ink out of a cartridge, and the software is clunky. This thing is just a headache. I have replaced the cartridges once and I was looking at replacing them again and realized how foolish that would be. For what it would cost to replace the cartridges I could invest in a halfway decent printer. Save your money and keep looking.
