Customer Reviews

Important info regarding buying this as a bundle with ink
I purchased this as part of a bundle (where it says "Frequently Bought Together") thinking that I would get a better deal on the printer with two replacement ink cartridges.
BE WARNED: at the time I'm writing this, the page shows that the ink "frequently" bought with this printer is HP #21 and #22 ink. However, this printer uses HP #300 ink. Be careful not to buy the wrong ink, as I have.

Suitable as portable printer
There are times when I need to have portable printing during my business travels. Some hotels are set up for this, others aren't. In most cases, it's convenient to bring along my own printing solution.

I had a Canon BJC-80 that I used several years ago. It packed in, and I had to find a replacement. The Canon Pixma iP100 Portable Inkjet Printer is nice, but a little pricey.

I then discovered this HP Deskjet D1660, inspected its dimensions, and decided to give it a go.

I packed it for a business trip in the Middle East, and it worked fine. All folded up, it's about the size of a regular bread bin. And it is light enough. It was a life saver on this particular trip.

Print quality is fine. I configured the settings to print in "Fast Draft" mode, which is noticeably quicker, uses less ink, and is sufficient for most printing requirements.

So, a portable (but checked-in flight bag) printing solution at a fraction of the price!

Nice printer, but drinks the ink
This does what it says on the tin, a entry level printer, no stand alone features, cheap. Wasn't impressed by how quick the ink cartriges ran out even when I was only printing documents though.
