HP DeskJet F2430 – Windows 7 Compatible Printer
This is a review for the hp DeskJet F2430. In some DeskJet cases, there’s not enough information available to form a strong opinion on the product. This is often because the model is old and never generated excitement with the public. The F2430 is unique in the sense that it’s too new opposed to too old. It began selling in November of 2009. However, there should still be detailed information available on this model’s features. For some reason, that information is difficult to come by. That said, we do have some information that can help you form an opinion. Hopefully, this information will also give you a good idea of whether or not this printer is the right fit for you.

The Hp DeskJet F2430 is listed for $130, but can be bought new for a fraction of that price. You can find new models online for around $40 to $50, and you might be able to get it at Wal-Mart for as low as $25. The F2430 is an all-in-one printer with the ability to print, scan, and copy. Like most DeskJet all-in-one printers, the scanning function works the best of the three. In the case of the deskjet 2430, the scanner is very fast and produces astonishingly clear images. If you’re in a situation where you need a scanner that can also print and copy – and for a cheap price – then the F2430 would be a great option for you. As far as the printer goes, it’s faster than most models, but the quality of the photo prints are average at best. This shouldn’t come as a surprise for an all-in-one. Hp’s focus when they design these models isn’t geared toward high quality photo prints. They’re aiming more at small office needs.
There are a few negatives with the hp DeskJet F2430. The first negative is that the software takes a very long time to load. What’s surprising about this is that the F2430 is a more modern model than similarly built models in the past, yet the older models have faster and easier software. Another negative is the paper feed. There have been several reports that if you put too much paper in, the paper feed will not operate correctly. It has also been reported that if you use anything but plain paper, the paper won’t feed correctly. This isn’t a one-time issue. You will most likely have to continue to manually adjust the paper. Needless to say, this can be a real nuisance. The final negative is ink consumption, but it’s not as bad as many other models, and ink consumption is almost always going to be an issue.
User Review #1: I bought this printer for my new home business. So far, the printer is working out a lot better than my business. 
The scanning feature works perfectly. The copier and printer work well, but there can be problems from time to time. These problems are minor though. At least I know what I will have to deal with, which isn’t the case with many other printers. Been there. Done that.
User Review #2: I’m a high school student and I got the F2430 for Christmas. Whew! How exciting! LOL. Even though it was far from my favorite gift, so far it has been the most important one. It has definitely made me a better student. I’m able to make everything look more professional. I can also scan documents to my friends or a teacher in an instant. I don’t use the copier much.
