I noticed the same problems with print quality as the others mentioned but mine was a little worse. My machine quit feeding the paper altogether and there is nothing I can do to fix it save taking it to a repair shop and paying more than the thing is worth to get it fixed. I also got to enjoy HP's nearly unintelligible Bangalore customer service automaton trying to sell me a new machine. I wonder if my accent is just as hard for them to understand?

I recommend not buying printer from a company that makes computers first and foremost and happens to make printers too (i.e. HP, IBM). Instead buy from a company is a little more of a specialist in printers (Brother, Epson, Lexar). The same is even more true for stereo speakers. Anyway, stay away from the HP Photosmart 3210, it doesn't like paper.
