Hey everyone this is about the HP DeskJet F2480 and I'm going to keep this really tight
and really quick. So pay attention, first let's go to hp.com
download the drivers they're here. You'll go and because they'll have the latest
ones for your operating system and because the ones in the package are usually a bit
old when you get it. You can also get user guides here if you loose
them. Good gear guide says it's got 3.25/5 stars
that sounds about right. It says poor photo printing quality and we'll
go over that in a minute. When I do these I skip features because you
can get that on any website. I go right to things you can't find just anywhere
and in this case is reviews. They're not that easy to find and in particular
note that out of 67 reviews here at Amazon 5 stars are 22 and 1 stars are 17, 17 1 star
reviews that's not doing sound for this product. Let me show you, obviously there's some fine
5 star reviews and this one says good value basic printer and that's probably the best
review you're going to see. This says something really interesting, don't
buy if you want to travel because he didn't realize this but all HP printers are regionalized.
That's not specific to HP other companies do that too.
That means if you go to another country you can't get a cartridge for it.
Now let me get in to the bad ones only, bad things to be expected at this price.
Scanner okay, printer junk that's what this guy says.
This guy says I beg you not to buy this, I found that entertaining.
Product life = 2 months, unreliable and temperamental, not sounding good, absolute mess not worth
buying it. See this guy says it's a grand printer so
the reviews are mixed. I wouldn't say these are good reviews though
let me show you one last thing. Here you can buy a 6ft USB cable for this
printer, don't fall for it. This is actually a fine price but you don't
need a USB, any A to B USB cable will work just fine.
For those that don't know this is the A this is considered USB A that's the plug your normal
plug. B Is this that's what a lot of printers use.
You also need to know about this there is discrepancy amongst reviews.
This HP DeskJet F2480 got 46 reviews, 91% recommend it 4.5 stars.
When there's that kind of discrepancy you've got be really careful.
This if I were guessing and I can't prove anything about this.
But I would guess there's a little bit of review stuffing going on here where people
will put in positive reviews or just not paying a whole lot of critical attention.
So this was my review, short and sweet. I can't honestly recommend this but I've got
a better idea for you. If you go to below the video there's a link
and that will show you what I think is much better deal for you at the same price.
Anyway good luck regardless to what you pick and party on.
