It's difficult to find much wrong with the 1050A considering its rock bottom price tag. We wouldn't recommend it for those who do a lot of printing, but for casual users its low price tag, combined with the decent print quality and affordable running costs, make it a safe bet.

Rock bottom price tag; Affordable running costs; Sleek design; Great graphics print quality

Text print quality could be better; Single colour ink cartridge

We saw a really inexpensive printer when we looked at the HP Deskjet 1000 , an inkjet for ￡30. And here's another, the Deskjet 1050 all-in-one for ￡29.99. Can you really get a workable printer/scanner combo for this kind of money?

THE PRODUCT IS OVERALL GOOD ,BUT THE QUALITY OF PRINTS WAY TOO BAD. THE COST ODF THE CARTRIDGE IS TOO HIGH AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR COMMON PEOPLE TO BUY THE CARTRIDGE.BUT OVERALL ITS HANDY AND CAN BE USED IN TIMES OF NEED

I really enjoy this product. I copy everything. And print out alot of receipes,etc. Also for scanning items to send to my friends. It was heaven sent for me.

It is fast easy and economic.You can apply full load to this product.It is cheap also as compared with other printers.

Having just seen someone else review a printer which I believe we both brought using a very good deal back last year I thought I'd review mine. I paid just ￡17 for mine direct from the Hewlett Packard website, considering the ink alone is worth that I didn't hesitate as I had no printer at the time...

Before I start the review, I'd like to say that I simply love this printer as I got it for just 9 pounds as it was on discount on a bookshop in Hong Kong. I am so happy. Ok so here is my review: advantages quality of pictures are extremely acceptable for a normal home user printing speed is fast...

REALLY CHEAP; works on all systems

Noisy; Continues printing when there is no ink

Had it six months, went to use the scanner for the 1st time, no sign of it, looked in all my programmes, can't take it back as I can't find the bill.

Prints good; copies ok

Scan no

This printer is just perfect to set up, I made a mistake when setting it up and my computer via the printer softwear and told me what I needed to do ,this I did and everythink went perfect we then completed the setup.As I nearing 80years young I though this was Perfect for anyone who is unsure of...
