The HP DeskJet 6122 Ink Jet color printer is a fundamental cornerstone of any successful home or small office. It is also the ultimate in luxury for any home’s use. This printer is a cost saving, efficient, work-horse of a device. You will never have to wait long for your pages to print as they do so at a rate of up to an average of six pages per minute according to the CNET labs. Your reports, pictures, documents, and photos will never be anything but perfectly clear with resolution of up to 4,800 x 1,200 optimized DPI color and 600 x 600 DPI black.
You will save valuable environmental resources with built-in two-sided printing, and waste less ink with inefficient print settings eliminated by the HP Desk Jet 6122's automatic paper-type sensor. The high-volume duty cycle of the HP 6122 eliminates both paper and ink wastage by printing in bulk so that the same print-out is not made several times over by different people. Five thousand pages per duty cycle rating means that you will get the maximum possible value for your ink, so waste will be minimal. Time will be saved not having to constantly refill the paper tray with the optional 250-sheet paper tray, and the unit is extremely convenient to set up with its USB, parallel, and optional networking interfaces. Multiple computers and network devices can share access to this HP 6122 Deskjet by using attachments available from HP that will allow it to communicate. Since it is PC and Mac compatible, you do not have to be exclusively using a PC or a MAC to enjoy this machine.
Hewlett-Packard, the printer’s manufacturer, offers a one year warranty from the date of purchase as well as support through its website and by phone. That support is hardly needed, though. Installation of the DeskJet 6122 is fairly plug-and-play. The user attaches the cable or other network device from the printer to the computer, follows the installation screen and then you can start printing. Much of the promotional advertising talks about using the keyboard’s “Print Screen” key, but the user does need to be careful about making sure they are in the HP DeskJet 6122's printer software screen in order to print two-sided pages. Daily usage of the printer and its software continue to be just as intuitive and complication-free. Paper jams are reduced with the included paper feeding mechanism as well as the automatic paper-type sensor. The mechanisms inside the printer all work together to keep it running effortlessly.
The HP Deskjet 6122 color inkjet printer will fit quietly and comfortably into your life as well. At only 17.9 inches wide by 17.3 inches deep by 7.3 inches tall, it can sit easily on a desk or table without dominating the entire space. It is an ink jet printer, so it is expected that it will be fairly noisy, but here the HP 6122 again surprises. Even at its top print speed, with pages seemingly flying out, the printer seemed very quiet compared to others in its class.
Now we reach the important question for many. What will it cost? That is some of the best news. You definitely won’t go into sticker shock on this printer. Thorough online searching reveals pricing under one hundred dollars for this printer. For the casual shopper, or someone who wants to just go into a local electronics store, it should be more than possible to locate one for under $149.99. Finding a HP Deskjet 6122 driver was also pretty simple. Also, for ongoing costs, the print cartridges are somewhat expensive. Pricing it on a thorough search appeared to be about $40 every five thousand pages. However, that was only for brand new ink. There are solutions for recycled and refillable ink cartridges that should bring that cost much lower.
