- Bottom Line:
- We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer. The print quality meets HP's high standards, and it outputs full color photos at an impressive rate, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, the HP Officjet 6000 performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.

The good: Prints high-quality text and photos, fast print speeds compared with the competition, network ready.
The bad: No USB cord included, no LCD makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

Do not buy. Doesn't feed paper, prints slow, horrible!
by manishe on March 21, 2010
Pros: Wireless, easily connects to your network.
Cons: In Mac OSX, it installs 8 applications along with 3 "device utilities" which are a total of 11 apps. Why??? The worst part is It never feeds paper!!! Further it comes with almost no ink.
Summary: The worst part of this printer is that I have to hit the "feed paper" button on the printer about 3-4 times before it grabs a sheet of paper. Pretty ...
Summary: The worst part of this printer is that I have to hit the "feed paper" button on the printer about 3-4 times before it grabs a sheet of paper. Pretty much every time I print, I get about 3 errors of "no paper", even though there's a full stack of paper in the tray that is loaded properly. It pretty much defeats the whole idea of wireless printing if I have to go to the printer and hit "paper feed" button 3-4 times every time I print.
The printer comes with SO LITTLE INK. With a week you start getting non-stop low ink messages even though the printer is printing fine. You can not disable these messages. You quickly realize, all this printer is is a plastic box and 11 applications to get you to buy more HP ink.
Whenever this printer turns out, about 20 parts inside move around and make noises for about 5 minutes. When you turn it off, all sorts of parts are moving around for no reason. It really makes you wonder why there are so many moving parts and loud noises. It's borderline kinda funny, until you realize that something with this many moving parts is bound to break soon.
Also, it PRINTS INCREDIBLY SLOW. I am not sure what or how HP arrives at its estimates on number of papes printed per minute. But printing 11 pages from a PDF document takes approximately 12-15 minutes. No joke. I think their test pages must include nothing but blank spaces.
I still don't get why HP feels the need to bundle 11 Apps with this printer. Oh wait, it's to get you to buy more ink.
I've been working in software for last 15 years. I have a computer engineering degree. This is probably my 6th or 7th printer. I would rank this as the worst printer I've ever owned. I would gladly trade my printer I had from 1994 for this one. No joke. There is no significant increase in functionality besides wireless printing which has been rendered moot due to the fact you have to hit the "paper feed" button 3-4 times every time you print.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER. HORRIBLE PRINTER!!!2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I have spent eight years helping consumers and small business owners with there SOHO needs. HP printers are junk, by design. These are engineered to be obsolete and the build quality is laughable. Buy an Epson, make a potato stamp, fingerpaint, whatever...just stay away from these printers!!

Hated it. Replaced it fast. Riddled with glitches.
by PCUserTom on February 9, 2010
Pros: We liked the easy setup. We liked the borderless printing. We liked the quality of print. We liked how fast it printed after it cycled through warm up. It was easy to network.
Cons: We hate the fact that we had to hit a reset button nearly every print job. Add Paper always flashing. We could not find the optional duplex unit ANYWHERE. We hate the 5 minute warm up time before it ever printed a single page.
Summary: Too many little annoyances. Small print jobs take a minimum of 5 minutes.

It is junk.
by vernay3 on April 9, 2012
Pros: Prints well when it works.
Cons: I concur with the majority of reviews found here. The printer is slow, noisy and shakes the whole table as it prints. It won't print envelopes from Word 2003 (and yes, I have been through all of HP's suggested troubleshooting).

Summary: I bought this printer to replace HP Businessjet Officejet that I had for nearly ten years that worked flawlessly, and efficiently (big, individual cartridges that lasted forever!) . It had reached the end of it's life, and HP was discontinuing support for it (no more cartridges). I tried to buy a HP Inkjet in the the same price point, but apparently HP no longer makes such a model.The ink cartridges are small, expensive and only partially full, unless you buy the XL's which are even more expensive. It seems that HP has stooped to playing the cheap printer, expensive ink game like its competitors. I will replace this printer when the ink runs out.

I am very happy with this moderately-priced printer
by kswsma on September 9, 2011
Pros: quick prints, reliable performance, excellent photo quality
Cons: noisy, a lot of internal switching and grinding activity going on

Summary: I don't mind the noise and don't care about "connectivity", it's just me and my PC, printer and scanner. This printer ejects high quality text pages awfully fast and has never jammed or otherwise given me any problems. I used it for a while only for text, a little afraid to see the photo quality. (I had a much "better" more expensive HP photo printer before, which broke down, and this printer was intended as a interim printer until such time as I decided on another high.-qualty photo printer.) Guess what: the photo I finally printed, a his res portrait which I printed in color, black and white, and sepia, came out beautifuly, both on reg. paper and heavier photo-matt paper. Absolutely as good as I was used to getting on the previous $400 printer (you can chose Max, DPI), but even at "normal" setting the pictures come out quite well. I may not buy another printer until I am ready to shell out a lot more for an 11 x 17 format printer.

Junk.garbage, don't waste your money.
by vbdave on July 24, 2011
Pros: It dosn't smell so bad for it being such a piace of crap!
Cons: Piece of junk!!! You have to fight to make it print. HP sends you updates all the time and they kill the printer. HP support finally told me to stop using any HP updates. The machine makes noise for 3-4 mins before and after printing. I think it is cleani
Summary: Save yourself the hassle. If you really want to buy HP, Throw $60 in the trash then buy another brand. You will be happier!!!

Very disappointed in the noise and color.
by MysticFilly on May 25, 2011
Pros: - It prints
- It can print double-sided (if you get the wireless one)Cons: - Too much noise
- It looks like an earthquake, shaking around the whole table
- Color quality is horrible. Mine just refuses to print the color pink, and all other colors come out fuzzy.
- Ink is very expensive, and hard to installSummary: Horrible printer. Very disappointed. I needed to use it for my school project, but the picture couldn't be worse. Trust me. I printed the same picture... 7 times.

I recently had a cheap Canon i80, and that cheap-o was better than this. That one actually printed the colors I wanted. Very mad at HP. -
I don't need a "super printer" in my one person office.
by flapjones on February 16, 2011
Pros: It makes good enough copies.
Cons: It just makes entirely too much noise! It prints a page in a matter of seconds, yet makes obnoxious noises for at least a minute. Can't stand it. Can't return it, might just have to destroy it. It's worth the cost of $49 for that satisfaction.
Summary: Don't buy this printer unless you like noise or plan on putting it in someone elses office.

False Statements: nowhere close 2 the #pages advertised
by wdob on January 19, 2011
Pros: Expensive cartridges, lowest amount of ink, even on fast draft you get maybe 100 tops pages, very far from HP statements. Their software always was and is a nightmare, the network installation a disaster. HP known for bugs including remote exploits.
Cons: The printer is cheap. The quality of the printed files is very good. BUT network install requires buggy software, you must be crazy using it for business. Refill of the cartridges is very difficult thanks to HP greedy that install a chip counting pag

Summary: I would never ever recommend this printer to anybody. It is one of the ********* printer I ever had the chance to use. HP software is mandatory for network install which makes everything collapse as I would never trust HP with their software. False statements on the box making you believe it is "better than a laser printer, better quality and print more". This is not only a lie, which I knew it from the beginning, but a huge lie, because I never thought that I will print 100 pages on fast draft and had to pay 31$ for a new cartridge! The cost per page is huge compare with other printers at the same price, especially from other brands. Also HP it's very very greedy - they will explain they do this to protect you and your printer, which it's bulshit, like I am telling you that if you have a fountain pen from this company you should always buy ink from it for the rest of your life at huge prices. They put a damn chip and it will stop printing after a number of prints even if the cartridge have ink. It can be tricked (check tutorials and videos on youtube), but you'll have to buy at least another cartridge. The design of the cartridge is very shaddy. All these cartridges you buy are kind of pseudo-cartridges, because they all enter in the slots of an unique cartridge container where it;s the head. (the head it's not on the cartridge). This obviously will diminish the life of the printer because instead of throwing away the cartridge that comes with the head on it, now you will have to use several ink cartridges with the container-cartridge that has the head. I am wondering when this head is gone, what can be done? Very greedy this HP guys... They design it to take as much as they can from your pocket. Avoid this printer at all costs!
