Customer Reviews
DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER! HP does not have working drivers for it! 
2008-05-02
The printer will not print. HP provides a printer diagnostic utility that is useless. Their customer support is no help, as they will only tell you to do the obvious like "make sure the USB cable is plugged in".
DUH!
The Windows XP drivers for this printer do not work. The only work around is to use drivers for an HP Deskjet 9600.
I have asked HP to provide WORKING Windows XP drivers for the Deskjet 9800, but they do not even bother to reply.
Shows how much they care about their customers. Not at all.
Do not buy this product. You will wind up with a large and expensive paperweight.
HP Deskjet 9800 Wide Format Color Printer

The printer works great. I have been using it for multiple large poster presentations and projects at work. Our Nursing Scholarship, Research and Education department already had one and I requested one for my department. Their poster presentations were always fabulous. The color is wonderful and everyone wants to use my color printer at work now. I plan to buy one for my personal use and for the church.
Don't buy this printer 
2008-04-07
Do Not Buy!!!! Beware!!! The internal power supply WILL die and HP does not sell this part! Don't believe me? Google for yourself. You'll not find it for sale anywhere. Not even from HP! For shame, go buy a real printer from Epson.
TERRIBLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF 2008-03-27
I will NEVER buy another HP product again....be it a printer, computer or whatever. The main reason is HP has arguably the worst technical support staff. On two separate occasions, I had problems with my HP Photosmart printer so I called HP's techical support. They ask you the perfunctory questions and try to sound all polite and concerned and everything but then the inevitable always happens--they recommend you to buy an ugraded HP printer! They don't even bother trying to help you fix the printer that you already have. Well, after I spoke to technical support, I contacted a buddy of mine who knows a lot more about computers than I do. Needless to say he fixed my printer, which wasn't that big of a problem, unlike HP's technical support. The problems? 1) I was having difficulty with the cradle inside the printer going back and forth. It was stuck. 2) After I bought a new laptop computer that came with Microsoft Vista, I had difficulty hooking up my HP printer with my new computer. In conclusion, I strongly discourage anyone to buy anything from HP until their technical support staff stops acting like salespeople instead.
Good larger format for the money 
2008-03-17
I've had this printer for 2 1/2 years, first using it for printing architectural designs on 11X17, then for printing personal photos and enlargements. Does a fantastic job. Prints on up tp 13X19 flawlessly.

HP 9800 vs 9650 2008-02-18
I had the HP 9650 and it worked well for 4 yrs 'till it broke.
Got the 9800 and the tabloid size just would not print from adobe photoshop. I called Hp support and had prblem solved with a no charge call.
Now I use the 9800 with 9650 driver and it works better than my old 9650.
So...if you get the 9800 just download the driver(FREE) from the 9600 series from HP website. Call HP and they will help you.800-HP-INVENT (FREE SUPPORT)
I was so satisfied that I'm exchanging my old 9650 for a refurbished one at a low cost from HP.
Happily Surprised 2008-01-30
I have used this printer for a month without any problems. I primarily use it for AutoCAD drawings with 13" X 19" paper and it does a fine job. SLOW, yes, but if you're not in a hurry, the end product is fine for presentation quality architectural, mechanical or electronic drawings. I have not yet tried large photo prints, but the 8.5" X 11" photos I've printed look very good. For the cost, this printer is about as good as one can expect for generating "large format" drawings. I have had no problems with the paper jamming. The 13" X 19" sheets can be fed in from the front just like the 8.5" X 11" paper, so you only need access to the front of the printer. So far, both sizes of paper (8.5" X 11", and 13" X 19") feed and print well, but SLOW. Yeah, the printer has kind-of-a large footprint with regard to width, but that's not unexpected since you're probably buying it for it's wide-printing capabilities.
excellent value 2008-01-07
Excellent value. Produces excellent prints. software should allow for working around "not enough memory" message
Something went bad fast with this printer 2007-12-26
It started out great. I didn't even use it much as it was reserved for photos and tabloid size printing at work. Then suddenly it couldn't deal with the HP 99 photo ink cartridges anymore. The color photos are atrocious with too much green and black or everything blurry. I tried cleaning heads, doing realignments, changing ink carts. Nothing helped. The photos look okay using just the black and tricolor ink carts. Did something change with the HP 99 ink carts? Did I just get a bad batch? Also, it can't seem to center photos on the page, even if I check emulate laser margins.
