HP Deskjet F4580 (wireless all-in-one printer, scanner & copier) - €49.99 [PC World]

Basq

Bought this earlier in PC World Sligo.. saw it reduced to €70 earlier this year, and didn't buy it. Seems like great value at €50 as I don't print often and hate the general idea of USB connected printers - especially in a house of laptops - so I'm gonna bung it in a back-room upstairs.

It's £80 at Argos - http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001801&langId=-1&searchTerms=6705079&Submit=GO+%3E

Bought one yesterday - works good, feels fairly sturdy for a cheap printer. Setup was easy, works fine over wifi in Windows 7 and Fedora 12. Comes with two standard cartridges, and prints quickly.

Great bargain!

I have been looking for a scanner/printer for a while and this looks the job. i'm not sure about the scanning specs though. Are they any good? Also, the one thing I look out for in a printer are expensive cartridges. Any idea how this fares?

Haven't tried scanning yet.. but they sound sufficient enough!

Takes HP300 cartridges (1 x Black, 1 x Tri-Colour)..

It's €114.99 in Argos Ireland, got one on Sunnday, good buy.

The scanning is not the best but it will do me.

This is also a good buy, higher scan resolution.

If you are buying cartridges for this there is a high yield black version of the 300 cartridge, which from memory is about a tenner more but has 3 times the ink.

Same for the colour but it only has about 2.5 times the amount of ink in it. Still better value than the standard cartridges.

CombatCow

Yeah the 300 black and colour have 5ml of ink iirc, the 300xl have 11ml's

I got a colour and black refill from this guy on eBay €15-€16 pretty good I think.

It's €46.81 on Pixmania, of course then realised shipping fees on top of it makes it more expensive. Good deal I'm going to get one of these thanks OP!

cybertron

pc world tallaght have any..?

throwingmuses

Not sure about Tallaght, but picked up 2 of these in Carrickmines earlier, good few left so I'd say it's likely they still have some in other stores.

Fidelis

I was in the Carrickmines (Dublin) branch today and the price has risen to €60.

ronbyrne2005

My local tesco had a few good printer deals. a canon for around 39euro and a HP one too think at half price of 49euro. Just saw in passing so hopefully someone can add more details.

Yes, but I spoke to the manager about the fact that they were 49.99 in other branches and he gave me the two I bought for 49.99 each.

tobriain

Go Harvey Norman (was in Nutgrove myself). There's a huge stack of them there. Say it's €50 in PC World. Bingo.

Dumdum McCarthy

I bought mine in limerick today ,i only went in to buy it as i saw it here on the thread,and the fact i need one.But like another person posted it was 59.99. I couldnt remember the price i saw on the thread so i believed it must be 59.99.:mad:As i have to go back tomor with my old printer(weee)which the pakistani guy hadnt a clue what i was talking about:eek:, i will be asking them for my tenner back?
People might let us know if there still 49.99 in their local shops, as they still had a stack of them in limerick shop.

cee_jay

My aunt picked one up in Limerick on Friday - price was €59.99 - she mentioned that it was €49.99 in other stores, the sales guy just said the price was gone up, and that was that - no budging on the price at all.

heffo9

Bought 1 of these today very happy with it on my LAN, the sales assistant tried to sell me an Ethernet cable at 7.99, said there wasn't one included.

Be warned>**you dont need it and theres no connection for it**

d8player

I called PC World in Liffey Valley today and they said it is now at €59.99. Still much cheaper than other places but it is hardly the kind of bargain to venture on on those roads for. I reckon I will wait a few weeks and get the next discount on it.

gleep

Bought one of these in Harvey Norman about a year ago for €80, I'd say it was a bargain even at that price!
It's easy to use and set up, no probs with wireless or scanning and the print quality is v good.
Sales assistant convinced me I needed to buy ink cartridges as the ones supplied wouldn't last long, but after a fair bit of printing they're still going! I'd advise not to buy ink instore and buy online for about half price when you need it!

Still, well worth €80, never mind €60

ronbyrne2005

devnull

The first page of the thread has some great suggestions for cheap ink.

whitelightrider

Hi guys,

We have an Epson 8400 at home and it drinks ink. Just wondering how this would compare? If its cheaper to run then Id buy it. Cartridges for the Epson are about €45 for the pack. For this one it works out about €30.

fdevine

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but a heads up for anyone who picked up this printer and is looking for ink.

I know Inkmaestro (linked on p1) are Irish but I have found the ink (1 black and 1 colour HP 300) almost €10 cheaper on MX2.com

Inkmaestro 1x CC640EE(HP300 BLK) €13.75, 1x CC643EE (HP300 TRI) €16.50.

€30.25 plus delivery of almost €6 (€4.93+VAT), so €36.20 delivered.

MX2.com 1x CC640EE £10.99, 1x CC643EE £12.49 = £23.48.

Delivery on MX2 is free, so works out at €27ish delivered.

MX2 have the 300XL Black available for £19.99 but not the tri-colour one.

Does anyone know if these are stll going for the same price in PC world?

I need a cheapish printer and this would do the job nicely..

fdevine

Should still have some in PC World Blanchardstown at €59.99. They had around 20 on Saturday.

Still great value at that price considering what you're getting.

Yeah, might still go for it. Do you get any ink cartridges free with the printer?

A set of black and colour cartridges come pre-installed.

Installed in the printer or in the box? Installed would seem to be very unusual.

Very impressed with it and easy to set up wirelessly.

It worked out at €66 delivered....

This week, out of the blue I decided I wanted to upgrade my printer. I came across this thread through Google and found it very helpful and I really wanted the F4580 after hearing all the good reports about it.

I first went to PC World, The Square (Tallaght) - the printer is now €110. I spoke to one of the sales reps and told him I "knew of somebody" who got one a couple of months back for €49.99. He said it must have been a promotion and €110 is now the price however he said he'd do me a deal and let me have it for €80 (which was pretty reasonable of him:)) but I decided to look elsewhere to see if I could get it a bit cheaper...

My next stop-off was Harvey Norman's in Nutgrove - unfortunately they didn't have this printer any more and gave the impression they wouldn't be re-stocking them:(

I checked Argos and the price there is also €110.

I'd just about given up hope when I decided to try Power City on the off chance.. and there it was for €59.95 :D So I'm now the owner of a HP F4580 wireless printer;)

And I have to say, so far I'm finding it fantastic! I've only printed off a couple of things - a test picture, bit of text etc.. but it's very fast and prints decent quality so happy days! Installation, although straight forward and very easy, did take a little while but it's hardly a complaint - PC and two laptops hooked up to it now and running smoothly:p

So just thought I'd give this thread a little BUMP as €59.95 in Power City was still a bargain in my opinion

CombatCow

^^ glad to hear it, My C4780 is still going strong, one of the best printers iv ever bought!

Did the one you bought from powercity come with ink?

just an edit, can anyone tell me if its possible to see the MAC address of the printer in its settings? My router is mac address filtering enabled, so before i buy one, i need to know if it'll work on my network...

**Caroline**

Hiya:P. Yes, the one I got came with a black and colour cartridge. And there was a lady behind me in the queue at Power City who said she'd bought one of these printers recently and that the ink (that came with it) lasted a good while! I can't vouch for this myself as I've only used mine a handful of times, but sounds promising :)

No idea about this... I'm not very technical:o Sorry:rolleyes:

I bought one in Feb. The sales assistant said the cartridges were only test ones and would only print a few pages. Its May now and the colour is only now starting to wear out.
