LOVE THIS
I do not know why people are complaining on the reviews about this printer. I've had alot of great times with it, and yes you have to learn how to play with settings, but you also have to know what you are doing in dealing with the printer quality and the way your printer and computer interact. As you would with ANY printer.
I just got done taking 2 college courses that touched upon it. You have to know how to set it up and how to do it, its not spy speak but it is something that takes fiddling and patience. As for ink cost, puhlease not that bad at all! Infact I just found some on here for like 18 bucks for the color! Sweet! Everywhere else its a little more. But I do remember buying 3 packages of paper with roughly 150 pages each! I burned through on one pair of cartridges (Black/Color) almost 400 pages! Thats including pictures and text!
This printer is no disappointment, and just becaue there are a couple revieweres who didn't like it means nothing. You could hand the best printer in the world to someone who isn't educated or willing to educate themselves on it, and they'll complain. But once they learn then its like,oh well duh I just had to learn it and do this.
So do not be afraid folks, this is my first HP printer, I used to use Epsons, O_O CRAP. Anyways the printer from HP is not a disappointment at all! It is a great buy! Of course i got it for like 75 bucks at Staples! O_O Dunno how that was accomplished!

Updated Drivers work better
I was having a lot of problems printing in the 13x19 format. It would reject the paper saying incorrect paper size. Then the print spooler would not delete the spooled file unless I rebooted the computer and the printer itself.
I went to HPs site and downloaded their bare bones driver and replaced the ones that came on the CD. And amazingly enough so far the 13x19 printing problems are gone!

Psycho (cue violins!) Printer
Having used this printer for 3 years:
Gulps ink! -- the tanks are WAY too small, esp. the color. And those tanks are VERY expensive for their size.
Chews paper! -- watch the beasty closely or it will jam, try to send 4 or more sheet through at once, etc.
Doesn't know if it has ink or not -- that light just stays on.
Cancel button is worthless. Cancel = unplug!
Set up to do the fancier things it is supposed to do is a challenge worthy a rocket scientist.
Drivers are problematic -- you think you have it set correctly in the application, but the printer then goes its own psycho way and messes it up -- this is especially true with the paper orientation choice.
Don't buy -- look elsewhere

HP misses the mark
I bought the HP Deskjet 9800 about two years ago when it was difficult to find any wide format printers within this price range. I had seen so many problems with my Epsen wide format printer that I thought surely HP would be easier to maintain and use. Well, the nightmare continued. Although HP's tech department and help line were helpful, I continued to have difficulties with the following: the quality of prints were not nearly what I had expected; the included software did not match very many of the formats that I normally use, and I ended up constructing documents that could emulate or fake the measurements and borders that I needed; once again I had to purchase expensive ink cartridges that did not last long enough, and finally ended up purchasing rebuilt cartridges from a company that improves on HP's design; it took me six months to finally figure out how the color managers don't really manage the colors between the computer and the printer unless you know the exact settings (this is entirely too complex for the average person to figure out); and finally, the last straw was that the tensioning spring that holds in the ink cartridges slipped out of its seating and touched the control membrane that controls the ink cartridges. When I put a new ink cartridge into the mount, the wire tension spring put a nice deep hole in the membrane that cut off several of the sensors to the cartridge, thus the low ink warning was activated and the printer will not work at all. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit, and HP does not sell a replacement membrane, nor can you easily access the compartment. It was simply easier and cheaper to find a much better printer with good reviews on Amazon to purchase. Conclusion: I do not recommend this printer.

Great deal on an 11x17 printer
I've been using the HP Deskjet 9800 for a couple of months now and it's been terrific. Set-up was a snap. Printing is fast and sharp. Make sure you have a USB cable long enough for your placement.
