You Just Do Not Want The Hassle By Jeannie Kerns on Nov 18, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I definitely should have realized that when you buy a printer for $79.99, you get exactly what you pay for. Being that I use this printer a few hours a day, I though I was getting a deal of all deals when it came to printers.

However, instead I received nothing but a noisy, have to reprint 40% of the time piece of junk. The noise that this Hewlett Packard Deskjet 697c makes is not your normal printer noise, instead, instead it's this unbelievable clanky sound each and everytime the printer prints something out. Not to mention you have to replace the nk cartrigde at least once a month if used on a daily basis. Mind you, the ink cartridges cost anywhere between $24.99 for the black and $39.99 for the color. I recommend just walking past this item, and not even wasting your time, or your money.
