The full range of features, including the single pass duplex mentioned earlier, are not supported on all the models. Note: This printer is more expensive than some models even in the current Officejet Pro 9000 series. Keep in mind that my observations are all of a personal nature - I have absolutely no affiliation with HP Sales nor do I receive any benefits for sharing my experiences or opinions. If your budget allows it, you might consider either the HP Officejet Pro 9025 or a similar grade replacement. Like the Officejet Pro 8630 (and your 8620), the 9025 is a higher end printer the price reflects both the expected quality, features, and built-in options (like digital filing). I have replaced my trusty 8630 (and necessarily the loaner 8740) with a new HP Officejet Pro 9025 - the new printer supports all the bells and whistles featured in the 8630 plus a couple of really nice options, including "single pass duplex" print / scan, auto detect boundaries (for scanning documents / images), and OCR included in the printer software. It is the same for the 8600's - great printers and hard to replace the full range of features and that kind of durability. The 8630 / 8620 series is indeed aging when the printer suffers certain hardware failures, it is time to search for a new printer. Nice features, workhorse printer, and solid service. The only printer I liked even better in this general price and option range (while they were available): HP Officejet Pro 8740 - I was fortunate enough to have an 8740 as a loaner for a year. Smiling.Īfter years of almost perfect service, I recently retired my (still working) Officejet Pro 8630 - very nice printer and similar in many ways to the classic and much loved Officejet Pro 8600 models. You did ask, though, and I do happen to have an opinion. do not usually recommend particular HP hardware - what one person wants and needs can be very different from what someone else expects and requires.Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems.Printer Wireless, Networking & Internet.DesignJet, Large Format Printers & Digital Press.Printing Errors or Lights & Stuck Print Jobs.Notebook Hardware and Upgrade Questions.
