• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Has anyone got a HP smart tank printer perhaps a 1505
Any problems or regrets?
Ive got a dying 2700 that has cost me a fortune of ink over the last 8 yrs and these tank models appear to be a much better overall proposition.
 
I’m not sure if this can happen to their tank based printers but I do know that on some of their other printers, if you run some of their software as part of the setup then it locks the printer irrevocably to their expensive consumables.
 
Hi there

I have got the HP Smart Tank 7006 and what a nice printer. Before this I had many Epson cartridge printers that were hopeless and printing was a nightmare as well as a few Hp cartridge printers which were no better. I did have a tank printer many years ago but that was a retrofit for an A3 Epson where you had small pipes from the printer to a row of tanks ina rack mounted on the wall. This HP was easy to fill and get up and running and it works on demand, the last printer I had which was as reliable was an old Hp laserjet 4 which was only monochrome. The reason I went for this Hp model and not the slightly cheaper version was the inbuilt paper tray, you just load it with A4 and done, no hand feeding from the rear. The ink comes in bottles and is cheaper than cartridges plus it is easy to fill with the sight glasses on the front, a big bonus is NO cartridges which was such a source of grief and expense, always suspicion around half empty supplied cartridges and the OEM blocking third part ones. So no regrets and would buy again, I think Epson have some catching up to do. Should also have mentioned that this printer is also a scanner.
 
We've got the Epson ET-2850 which is the version that'll do double sided printing. Thus far it's been a fantastic bit of kit, the only grumble being that the set up screen is a shade over 25mm square; apart from that wunderbar - Rob
