I gave up on Epson printers because of the cost of replacing entire colour cartridges when all that had run out was the cyan. I should've known better to try an HP. Everything else about Epson printers is rock and roll. Almost everything about the K8600 is like sitting in the front row of a Manilow concert in comparison. (Apologies to Manilow fans out there...)
So where do I start? The printer 9 times out of 10 sets itself to print to the banner setting by default, there by insisting that paper is loaded from the rear, not from the tray. (More on the tray later.) This is fine if you only EVER print banners, but naff-all use if, like 99% of the known world, you like to print on A4 or Letter a lot. So it tells you there's no paper. Took me a day to sort that one out by double checking that the page setup wasn't set to banner. This has to be done with EVERY print as it ignores the default paper setting in the Mac OS X preferences box.
Next, it can't print straight for toffee. I know it's not a photo printer but so what? Why can't it print straight on 6 x 4 and 7 x 5 paper? I don't know, it just can't.
And on we go. It can't even print solid colours very well, leaving a speckled band about half an inch from the bottom of EVERY print.
Nearly there. The paper tray is flimsier than Colin Powell's justification for war in Iraq.
We're on the final straight now! Stay with me! When it is actually printing, it is so heavy and violent that the carriage motion wobbles the desk. I kid you not.
Finally (phew), there's the interminable ages it spends talking to itself before condescending to print. Churning away, on and on and on (Bit like this review I know, but I had to vent somewhere!)
So are there any good bits? It has separate ink cartridges and take HP's extra large ones. Great. It looks alright. Whoopee. I thnk that's everything?... Yep, that's it.
Let's cut to the chase. Can I recommend this printer? Absolutely not. Would I buy HP again? Absolutely not. Do I think HP will take any notice of this review? Absolutely not.

I've used HP printers large and small for twenty years, and they've always been the most reliable. But this is dreadful, one problem after annother, mechanical feed problems when changing paper sizes, head alignments problems, all kinds of mysterious speckling and banding. The build quality is also very poor, the paper output tray has a terrible cheap snapping action and the feed tray is ridiculously sensitive and will only pick up paper if its loaded millimetre perfect. Not up to HP standards at all - in fact its out me off buying HP stuff ever again.

This is an excellent printer, with one important proviso.
Currently (August 14 2008) the HP Datasheet for this machine shows a maximum custom print capability of 330 x 2540mm. However, the supplied printer driver only permits a maximum of 330 x 482mm. Please note that the displayed maximum print length of 2540mm is incorrect. This is not the fault of Amazon.co.uk , who are reliant on information provided by manufacturers.

So disappointed
My well-loved HP cp1700 is no longer supported by HP (Vista problems) so I bought the K8600 in the expectation that it would be as good. It isn't. Read more
