- Beware, fatal design flaw
Search google for "hp deskjet 9800 black cartridge problem" - these printers have a serious flaw that HP seems disinterested in addressing. Numerous people (myself included) have had to throw these away after the print cartridge carriage exerts a damaging force on the connecting PCB, effectively disabling one or more of the cartridges (for me, black)
Sadly, as nice as this printer's output and large-format capabilities are, it's simply not OK for a printer to fail after a few cartridge ... Read More
Rating: - drags multiple papers into the printer
Although I'm fairly happy with the print quality just because I use this printer mostly as draft printing, the paper feed sucks big time! For a print job that requires multiple page I basically have to tell the computer to print 1 sheet at a time because it always pulls in several sheets each time.
Color printing is satisfactory though not on a top notch level, with new cartridges, which last maybe 10 pages before it starts to deteriate.
My darkest curse on I.T. morons
Rating: - I cannot believe I bought this printer
We purchased this printer two years ago to print 11x17 plots of engineering drawings (blueprints).The original driver would randomly work and, following the advice of a reviewer, we installed the driver for the HP 9600.Our main problems with this printer are as follows:
1.The print file will spool but the printer will not start printing or
2.The printer will spit out blank pages.
It seems to work marginally better with the 9600 driver and only fails to ... Read More
Rating: - Sucks:
Bought the HP 9800 for 13X19 Prints. The printer printed two outstanding prints and after that it would only print a half page of totally black ink. I have spent more money on professional technicians who can't figure out what is wrong with the printer. At this time the printer is unusable even thro I bought a three year warranty. In talking with the folks who sold me the printer, they said under the warranty HP should replace or give me a newer model, however that is not how it works. In short the ... Read More

- Wastes ink and paper and isn't reliable
I've had this printer for about 3 years now and I can never depend on it. I put up with it for a while because I couldn't afford to trash it and buy a different model. It'll work fine one second, then another it will print dark on one side and light on the other. Frustrating especially when you are using high-grade, expensive photo paper for portfolio purposes. Now I'm without a reliable large format printer. I will never buy anything HP again. You would think using HP printer cartridges, HP photo paper, ... Read More
