1 Terrible Printer
When I first got this Compaq printer it worked well. That only lasted about a month. After that when I tried to print anything color it would print in visible stripes. Cleaning the print heads only helped for maybe a day and then it was back to the stripes again. In addition to it's bad quality printing the ink is overpriced. I would recommend a Canon printer instead. They are cheap and work great. I own two and have never had a problem with them. Plus, they print great photos.
2 DOESN'T DESERVE 1 STAR
This printer is a piece of junk. I have another lexmark/compaq and a HP. Both of my lexmark/compaq printers don't feed the paper in straight and the printer takes in more than one sheet of paper an prints a page of stuff on five sheets of paper. I would recomend hp's or epson's BUT DON'T BUY A LEXMARK.
3 can not use refilled cartriges.
Because of high priced new cartriges this is one you do not want. Because you can not use refilled cartriges.
4 Just Sharp as a Laser, and fast drying colors!
Best choice I made, I wasn't too sure about gettin a Compaq printer, but when I did, I see what they say : "Buy Brand and get Quality" Enough said, you get what ytou pay for. Lesson I learned the hard way with my old EPSON.
5 Most Happy Fellow with IJ1200
I love this printer. Great price for excellent work. Only drawback is very high priced replacement ink cartridges. Friends tell me that refilled cartridges do not work well on this machine.
6 Happy With the IJ1200 Compaq Printer
After working with far more sophisticated "all-in-one" printers, I have settled on the Compaq IJ1200 as my favorite everyday printer. I love the way it notifies me of the ink levels, so that I do not start a complicated project only to run out of ink in the middle of a printing. The IJ1200 prints in beautiful color, is easy to load, and works well with my Compaq computer. I do use it for photographs, and it is quite acceptable, without the expense of a photo-quality printer. Because the IJ1200 is a dual head printer, there is no need to switch ink cartridges, which I find annoying. The printing program allows adjustment for a myriad of paper types and sizes. I would recommend this printer to anyone looking for quality and dependability at a reasonable price.
