Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP K5400 Officejet Pro Color Printer
Customer Review: great if you leave it on all of the time
Summary: 2 Stars
The printer is fine if it is left on all of the time. If not, then be prepared for a lengthy and really noisy start up sequence, lasting for minutes upon minutes and then a couple of misprinted pages until it begins to work. In its favor are the individual ink supplies, but on the other hand, if you only want to print black ink on a page, as for text, it will not function unless all colors are in adequate supply.Customer Review: Have you seen "Office Space"?

If you have, then remember what they did to the fax machine. That's how I feel about this product. The printed page looks good when you get them and it prints fast, and that's where the good ends. Tricky to install, tricky to impossible to decipher, and have had nothing but incomprehensible trouble with making it work. Not worth it at all, unless you want to hate your printer.Customer Review: I'm returning it tomorrow.

I had no way of knowing (the manual has to be downloaded from HP's website) that if one ink tank is exhausted, the entire printer is useless. That's right - if all you want to do is print black text, and you've got a full tank of black ink, the thing sits and cries for its yellow instead of printing the black text. Never saw that trick before, and don't want to see it again.Customer Review: Bulky, very noisy and unreliable

We got few USB versions of K550 and K5400 for our remote office locations. We didn't need huge capacity but cheap color prints. In my comparison it seemed that this solution would be the cheapest compared to the competitors' models. Unfortunately I didn't count the 2 print heads that have to be replaced as well with the cartridges and the huge ink consumption. Also during warm up the printer makes very loud noises and vibrates the whole desk. Sometimes I'm wondering if have requested a print out or a heavy-construction task with all those unusual rattles. After the warm up it prints quite fast. Also it needs some calibrations from time to time that consume a lot of ink too. It will not print if any of the cartridges is depleted. Finally you have to replace 4 cartridges + 2 heads after few months that will cost more than a new printer. My recommendation as an IT Pro is not to go for this printer or even any HP Inkjet printer if you plan to use original cartridges. If you need monochrome printouts just go for a laser one.Customer Review: Horrible printer! Worse service.
Summary: 1 Stars
The printer hacks and gags for 3 minutes every time you power it on. It's slow. You can't use non-HP ink cartridges for it. It's less than a year old and now the magenta printing doesn't work at all. The print quality is excellent but the other problems offset the pretty printing. Getting service via telephone is impossible. Getting service via instant chat takes hours! This is a waste of money, and extremely frustrating. HP should be ashamed of itself.
