HP 6210
The HP 6210 printer looks great on paper, but it may not work so well with its own paper. A cheap HP 6210 printer seems like a great deal. The price is right and the specs look promising. Who wouldn’t want a great printer for a great price? Not only does the 6210 have good looking capabilities, the printer itself looks good on your desk. Are looks enough to get this printer by though? If you find a discount HP 6210, be wary. The 6210 seems to be hit and miss as far as living up to its promises.

Check out the 6210 printer from HP in its best light and see what you think. The specifications are not even totally fabulous, but for the price, the capabilities are great.

As you can see the printer - HP 6210 - is pretty average. The dpi resolution is pretty typical for its generation and the printing speed is acceptable for most applications. You don’t have to worry about print jobs getting backed up from other computers because the USB hookup on the 6210 is for one computer only. The HP wireless printers do not include the 6210. If you need to network more than one computer with a printer, the 6210 is not the one for you. Rumor has it that the HP 6210 for sale couldn’t handle more than an individual print load anyway.

The 6210 is set up to print on all kinds of paper, envelopes, transparencies, cards and even iron on graphics. There are a couple of problems though. The various printable media tends to get jammed up in the 6210. You’ll have better luck if you are gentle and feed small jobs at a time, but the inconvenience is a definite item to overcome. The HP 6210 camera accessories are also a point of contention. While the 6210 is capable of printing good quality photographs, the ink cartridge must be changed out between different kinds of jobs, (photo vs. black and white).

There’s no doubt that you can get the HP 6210 cheap, but is the investment worth the product. I’d say that it’s a toss up. If you have high volume and variable printing that needs to happen, you might want to keep shopping. But, if you need to print variably, but only once in awhile, the investment in the 6210 may be well worth a shot. It’s a great looking machine and is mildly capable in several areas.
