Original HP supplies

Ink is much more than just coloured water; the unique, hi-tech formula for HP ink is designed to work with all the mechanical parts of the print cartridge, and the printer itself, to deliver high quality results across a wide range of papers, in a variety of environmental conditions.

Why Original HP Inks?

It takes up to three years to develop new inks, so a huge amount of work goes into producing Original HP Inks, from the selection of superior ingredients to precision engineering of both the chemical formula of the ink and the high-performance ink cartridge components.

The print cartridge itself is the product of years of research and development and is much more than just an ink tank. The integrated print head on an HP cartridge includes an intelligent circuit that controls the hundreds of nozzles, each finer than a human hair, which deliver the ink onto the page. Each drop of ink is fired onto the page on the back of a tiny vapour blast of heat 7 times the intensity of the sun that lasts for just two millionths of a second; this energy blast exposes the ink drop to forces up to one million G's. Some of the latest Original HP ink cartridges can deliver in excess of 29 million drops per second.

In many of HP's home printers, over 50% of the printing technology is contained within the cartridge itself; which means every time you replace your Original HP Ink Cartridge you are installing a brand new print engine. Original HP Inks are developed in conjunction with HP papers to ensure maximum compatibility and performance. The result is the perfect balance of colour, permanence and reliability.

Standard Value Packs / XL packs

HP offers a range of ink cartridges tailored to the way you print. To help you make smart choices about printing and costs, HP has created a portfolio of cartridge offerings with various price tags for you to choose from.

I'll not go over the good points as they've been covered in the other reviews. Suffice it to say this is an excellent printer for the money. It more than meets my requirements for colour printing and wireless access. I use it for my HTC Android phone as well as Linux and Windows boxes. The following tips may be useful:
1: I had great difficulty with the supplied software CD. I'd recommend downloading just the basic driver set from HP. The full software package does not like anti virus software (such as AVG) but I had no problems with the basic drivers.
2: Set the printer up on each PC using USB first. DO NOT connect the lead until prompted.
3: The printer should detect any wireless routers available and allow you to connect to them. For the BT Home Hub you just need the 10 digit WEP/WPS key on the back of the hub. Once connected, go to the Home Hub advanced menu > configuration and edit the devices list (you need the admin password for this). here you should see the printer listed as something like "HP805CD8". Select the type to be "Printer" and tick the box "Always use the same address" to ensure you have a permanent fixed IP address (this will be something like 192.168.1.x where x = whatever the DHCP server has allocated). The printer should have a fixed address from now on and you can type this into your browser and bookmark e.g. 192.168.1.121 and see the web based setup and diagnostics screen. You can also download two useful utilities from the HP site - HP Home Network and HP Printer Diagnostics. On connection to the router the printer may update itself, just follow the instructions on the small LCD display.
4: To set up the HP Photosmart (B110a) for wireless use on Windows just go to settings > printers and add as normal. I couldn't get the "standard" add a network printer to work but the following workaround is easy. Against what seems obvious, select "local printer" but add new port. Select TCP/IP as the port type and enter the fixed IP address that you got when setting up the wireless router. Try a test print.
5: For mobile phone use, download the HP iPhoto app which is available for all platforms. I've tested it on both a Nokia E51 (Symbian) and HTC Wildfire (Android)
6: For the linux boxes go to the HP site, select Linux as the OS and follow the re-direct. I downloaded the zipped tarball and extracted to a home folder then looked for the python install executable. Works a treat!

Finally, the web / email printing is very clever and may have a use for some people. You need to register with HP and get allocated a printer queue email address. Documents etc can be printed by sending as attachments in the email. You may also want to restrict access to known senders or else you could end up with all sorts coming out :-)

The product itself is excellent and the service from Amazon equally excellent. The only I would say is that the HP support associated with the product is abysmal. It's fair to say that this product is quite new to market an HP don't have an appropriate capability to support it. It uses wireless networking but comes preconfigured with it's own IP address so you have to overcome this little hurdle before you even get it connected to your wireless network, and the support from HP with respect to this is non existent. There are however a number of excellent support forums out there and with enough searching you'll find the answer eventually.

You'll love the printer and it's features and shouldn't be put off by the technicalities of setting it up. Excellent price and service from Amazon.

Excelent product. 6 Nov 2010
Brought printer in the morning and had it set up by the afternoon. I found it very easy to set up no problems there. The printers wifi found my laptop (HP) and my daughters (Acer).
Just follow the instructions take your time and you should have no problems.
It comes with startup ink Magenta,Blue,Yellow, Black.
I sent numerous documents and photos via wifi with no problems, all were processes quickley.
Documents are printed quickley and the quality is very good,pin sharp print.

The unit is quite bulky and well built, it makes quite a few noises on start up but I guess it just getting them ready to print.

I was wanting a printer which prouduced excelent photo prints, and from the few A4 size Ive printed out I am more than very happy with the result, I used the supplyed HP photo paper that came with the printer to get you started. I also used tesco glossy A4 190gsm paper and the quality is superb on a full A4 sheet.

I set the printer to "other photo paper and best print quality in its setting menu, and the quality is as good as,if not better than your local photo booth in your supermarket.

The printer does not come with a USB cable But then it is a Wireless printer!

I would imagine the inks for this printer are as usual very expensive, but if you shop around Im sure you will be able to find them at a reasonable price.
So to sum up this is s superb printer any Documents are quickly and cripsly printed the photos are pin sharp and the colour is spot on, Shop around on the web for better prices for ink.

So far I have been very inpressed with this product and would recomend it.HP CN245B Photosmart Wireless e-All-in-One Printer
