Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: Still a good printer but takes 'smarts' to keep working

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 12:25:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author clanceyman - I still have my HP G85 and really like it. I don't like the lack of parts. I've had to do some 'heavy' hardware service that might have been solved (although costly) by parts availability. One good thing though is that there is now a Vivera Ink which...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: The worst!!

Wed, 21 Jul 2004 15:39:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author networkdude - Scanner is worthless. If you’re lucky you might get scanning to work with the OfficeJet connected directly to your PC AND depending on the Operating System version. The HP Director software is total junk. Only works intermittently at best. HP tech...

Wed, 3 Dec 2003 19:34:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dmsgregg - This printer is not a good printer for Mac OS X. The software is very cumbersome (in the way). It loses connection and has to be shut down and restarted regularly. HP does not have up-to-date drivers for Mac OS X and Apple does not provide them either...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: HP Officejet G85xi software is very poor.

Wed, 2 Apr 2003 22:28:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author stereoview - The G85xi hardware prints and copies OK and is reasonably fast.

The software is defective and has been reinstalled 3 times with about the same results. The scanner gives a slightly crooked result. Misaligned? It often forgets how to find my...

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 19:38:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author norsty - When I purchased this product, I looked forward to the advantages of a 4-in-1 printer, copier, fax and scanner, which are ideally suited to the business that I run. However, abysmal software lets the product down. My business is located in Australia...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: Jeepers, what a great piece of equipment!

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 13:42:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author almacy - I am generally happy with this printer. It is "usually dependable" and does a great job of printing photographs.

However, there are a few significant problems.

1. The printer driver has many problems on my Windows 2000 system...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jholth - I received this machine 8 months ago from the company I work for as standard issue for our home offices. Our older OfficeJet 600s and 700s were having Windows 2000 compatibility issues, so this was sent as a replacement. My company maintains well over...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: All in one All in one

Tue, 2 Jul 2002 13:21:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chugs - This is truly an all in one machine. It faxes, scans, copies and prints either in black and white or vibrant color. The toner cartridges really seem to last forever and are easy to find either online or any local office supply store.

It is...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: All-In-One--Good or bad?

Tue, 28 May 2002 14:21:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author samjackson - We got this printer for our house. I wanted something that would allow me to print photos, scan photos, and receive and send faxes. And I didn't have alot of space for four different machines. It worked OK for those few functions. It's kind of a...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: If you have the space, this is the multifunction you've been looking for

Mon, 13 May 2002 18:57:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Good luck finding one of these in the stores (if you are reading this in May/June of 2002). HP had power supply problems with the machines and did a massive recall. As a result, we got one of the last available printers at Best Buy in the New England...

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 13:48:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Buffett - I telework for a living and need a scanner, small copier, FAX machine and quality computer printer to maintain my link with my remote office. I was dreading trying to fit all of that technology into my den and had visions of the FAX on the floor, the...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: HP OfficeJet - nice machine, lousy software

Wed, 5 Dec 2001 16:07:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyabc - This is a great machine, let down by poor software and drivers. Almost impossible for the sophisticated user to alter settings, retain settings and to understand what is going on beneath the hood. Copies are great, great photo-quality prints, fast,...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: Photo Savvy Beware/Spyware/Falling Apart

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 14:48:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sponginn - When reviewing all-in-one machines for my new start-up business, I thought I made an educated decision. When I looked over a half a year ago, there were only a couple Epinions on this G85 system, and the major dilemma that didn't effect me was the issue...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bornain - The only thing I’m thinking right now is on Phillip’s ad jingle “I’ve got to admit it’s getting better…”. Too sad it’s not Hewlett Packard’s since they are really “getting better” and best of all, learning from their past mistakes.

What better...

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 02:43:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arizpe - I was shopping for a standalone fax, when I started considering a multifunctional. As usual, I browsed through Epinions and Amazon, looking for real users and their experiences.

You know, I read every review of Canon, Sharp, Brother and other...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: Finally, An Affordable Multi-function Device That Does Everything Well

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 18:33:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjobrien - In the past, people purchasing mult-function devices knew they were making a compromise in order to save space. Separate devices always maintained an edge in quality, features and reliability.

This is no longer true. The HP G85 is one...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: Good product for the money

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author finchumk - I spent a considerable amount of time researching this product before buying it. I've had it for two months now and am pretty happy with it. I noticed that people seemed to either love it or hate it. The "hate it"s seemed to have the same complaints:...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: It does (mostly) what I need

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 21:30:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rkwest - I was skeptical about an all-in-one machine. But I also had limited desk space and was frustrated with having a lot of different (and not always compatible) machines. Installation was easier than anything I have previously installed. It worked smoothly...

Sat, 9 Jun 2001 00:00:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daedalus - The HP OfficeJet G85 is in my epinion (haha!) a terrific machine. I can't say "printer" as the G85 is a Printer, Fax, Scanner, and Copier in one. While Hewlett Packard is famous for making terrific printers, you might be skittish about the quality...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: G85 does almost everything

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 11:53:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donstauffer - One neat feature: if you're doing one thing, say printing from a computer, and another happens (someone puts in something to copy and presses Copy, or a fax comes through), the G85 queues things up and does each thing when it becomes available. The fax...

Fri, 11 May 2001 13:52:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mastersfamily - The HP G85 is a very convenient machine. It takes up much less space than if you were to buy a copier, printer, fax and scanner separately. The only thing missing from this machine is the capability of making legal sized prints or copies. The HP G85...
