Overall, if you can handle the hefty price tag; the Pro K850 this is a solid office printer, although added Ethernet support would have been nice. from Castleink.com WHAT?! And all of them (except the black ink) are dye-based! A huge disadvantage over my last HP printer (which had its own set of problems) that used archival Vivera inks (and only 4 cartriges, not 8!). And one last thing: the HP K850 is HUGE. from Cnet.com I purchased it for my small church to print weekly bulletins, (40 copies front and back) monthly newsletters, (450 copies front and back) etc. We are on our THIRD PRINTER and we wish we just had our money back! The main reason we got it was to print an 11 x 17 newsletter but finally gave up and I now print then on 8.5 x 11 on my own laser printer because the 850 just can’t handle it. I even have trouble getting it to print one 11 x 17 calendar a month! from Cnet.com "Overall, if you can handle the hefty price tag; the Pro K850 this is a solid office printer, although added Ethernet support would have been nice." from Castleink.com I'd had an HP2000C and it printed and printed until it died from being worn out. Swapped it for a reconditioned unit and wore that one out too. So the K850dn was the choice and it worked fine for about 6 months, then one day an error popped up and it has NEVER gone away. "Printhead movement obstructed" is a permanent Printer Alert window on my Windows XP, 2000Pro and Vista installs. from Amazon.com I bought this Officejet K850 in April 2007 and it worked well except for a tendency to feed multiple pages, especially when using the larger 11x17 paper (which is the size we got the printer for in the first place). It ate seven sheets at once one day in January 2008 & came to a literal screeching halt--it broke something internally, a strap of some kind. from Amazon.com HP's Officejet Pro K850 Printer feeds paper crooked. It also has quite a thirst for ink. from Amazon.com - 3 HP 12C calculators. - And a supply of cartridges for all of the printers. My newest printer is the HP Officejet Pro K850. I bought this to compliment my HP Business inkjet 2200 because is a wide format and it uses the same individual ink cartridges as the BIJ 2200. from Amazon.com Ink is easy to replace and the reservoirs are big in the model 10 and 11 cartridges. I previously used an HP 9800 and this is a dream comparitively becasue the ink lasts so much longer and each color can be replaced uniquely rather than the tricolor cartidges of the 9800. I am happy with my 850dn choice and would buy it again. I wish I would have bought the 850 the first time rather than the less expensive 9800. from Amazon.com This is a great printer. We are an architecture firm, and purchased it because it handles 12x18 paper (for half-sized drawings to scale). This printer has proven to be extraordinary at handling the marketing materials, permitting us to print on heavy weight cardstock through the rear flat feed option. Also, when you need to shoot out a 100 page document in a hurry, set this on the fast normal setting, and it simply flies through the job (the draft setting, while still faster, actually shoots the paper onto the floor). from Amazon.com
