HP DeskJet F2280 Expert Review

A simple and compact design complements the HP DeskJet F2280’s printing, scanning and copying ability.

Without a display screen, users will need to operate the control buttons available in order to access the machine’s functions. The small footprint should still see the machine easily accommodated on a desktop even if the design is not what you’d describe as ‘modern’.

Unfortunately, this printer doesn’t deliver print speeds that will suit a home user who needs documents and photographs in a hurry. Instead, it perhaps lends itself to those who print on a fairly infrequent basis.

There is also a distinct lack of functionality with this machine. No Wi-Fi is a big miss with so much emphasis in recent times having been placed on printing wirelessly. There isn’t even a memory card reader which will be another black mark against it from those who favour photo printing.

Print quality may be of a high standard but the F2280 just doesn’t have enough features to qualify as an appropriate device for those who like to print regularly.

Pros

• Simple to use
• Good quality prints
• Small footprint

Cons

• No wireless connectivity
• Basic build quality
• Slow print speeds
