3 out of 5 stars Connectivity problems.......2007-02-22

Kudos to HP for trying to come up with a traveling printer. It's rugged and handsome and the bluetooth feature is way cool. My main problem is connectivity, particulary for my laptop. These days, the laptop just doesn't "see" it. Previously, the printer was recognized but, when running on batteries, turned off to save power, and then I had to reboot for it to be recognized again. Disappointing for the money.

1 out of 5 stars paper jams still an issue in 2004 models.......2006-06-23

Just like everyone else, I was a fan of the DeskJet 450 until the paper feed problems started. My printer is dated from June of 2004, so as of two years ago, the design flaw had not been fixed. I can't even begin to count all the time I've wasted trying to get a single sheet of paper to print!!

2 out of 5 stars Very Frustrated!.......2006-06-17

It's just like everyone else has said. This printer worked great for about a year of limited use and then the paper jams started. It would not take card stock or other heavy weighed papers. I have to constantly push the paper in to get it to feed. I absolutely loved this printer at first and thought of getting another one just like it but after seeing these reviews--no way!!!

1 out of 5 stars Great! But then there are the paper jams........2006-04-30

This printer worked great for about a year. Then the paper started jamming and it is now completely useless. I think it's somewhere in my basement. Don't waste your money on this one.

This printer jams on me all the time. HP should feel ashamed of itself for selling it!

3 out of 5 stars Great when it works.......2007-02-02

The 450 CBi is a great printer out of the box. Unfortunately, the paper feed mechanism becomes [..] over time, and after a couple of years the printer becomes virtually unusable. It's also not nearly as durable as the old 350 series - an essential if you intend to use it as a MOBILE printer.

5 out of 5 stars HP Deskjet 450.......2007-01-10

I received this product in very good condition.
Very happy with the purchase.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy an HP 450.......2006-11-19

I absolutely loved the printer HP 450 when it was working, perfect printing. After a while the paper gets jammed and then it gradually stops working. I tried to get it repaired - still didn't work. Then I looked on the internet and there are lots of people saying the same as me. The paper feed gets jammed its all very frustrating.
So I have purchased CanoniP90 from Amazon it's good but not as good as as the HP when it worked well.

5 out of 5 stars Photo Printing Amazing.......2004-11-06

I got a new laptop this year, and it came with a free Dell Printer/Scanner/Copier thing, which I was pretty excited about, but it turned out it was HUGE. Took up waaaaay too much desk space in my already cramped dorm room, so at a friend's recommendation I got the HP 450 CBi. It's amazing.

First reason it's amazing is that for day-to-day printing it is just as good, if not a little better, than any other HP inkjet I've ever had, and I've had quite a few.

Second, the portability is great. Not only is it great to be able to bring my laptop to the theatre and update paperwork, etc. on the spot, but it's even better to then be able to immediately print it out and hand it to whoever it needs to go to.

Third, it's photo printing quality is incredible. With HP Premium Plus glossy photo paper, and the #58 photo cartrige, all of the pictures I've printed on it are virtually indistinguishable from film prints.

The only cons I'd say are the capacity of the ink cartriges (and the price, but I suppose all ink cartriges are rediculously overpriced), and the overall price of the unit. However, if you've got a good amount of money to spend on a printer, need to conserve as much space as you can, and could benefit from the portability, I would highly recommend this printer.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad, but a tad overpriced.......2004-03-17

I bought this printer to go with my HP Pavilion ze5200 laptop the summer before heading off to college. I knew that in college, I'd be mobile and on the run, so I was looking for a good quality printer that was small enough to fit in a dorm, but wouldn't crap out on me as I was printing a ten page paper half an hour before it was due.

It's been about nine months since I bought the 450Cbi, and I've had a really good experience. It's small enough to fit compactly on my little dorm-room desk, and every time someone walks into my room they say, "Oh! What a cute printer!" It's small and lightweight enough to throw in my backpack along with my laptop as I go to the library or student center to study, and the fact that it can be battery-powered is just awesome--I can be sitting outside in the middle of the quad, with no outlets in sight, tapping away happily on my laptop with my printer chugging out my papers beside me. The quality is fantastic, both photo and simple black-and-white, and one black ink cartridge lasted me eight months, which is amazing considering all the papers a college student has to type.

For the negative stuff: As other people have said, it has a problem with paper jamming. I've had several times where the paper has jammed, and I've had to work like the devil to un-jam it. However, nothing has broken, and all in all, it's held up beautifully considering how much I put it through, always lugging it from one side of the campus to the other. My infrared printing did suddenly stop working on me for some reason--my laptop will detect the beam and begin to print, but an error will pop up and refuse to print anything that's not a Notepad file. As well, I was also disappointed that though the printer is advertised as being wireless, it doesn't actually come with a Bluetooth card. No matter though, a parallel port cable is short, compact, and has worked perfectly fine for me. I do think that it is a little overpriced--I paid $250 for it--but for me, it's been a great a little printer and I don't regret my choise to buy it.
