Flawed (X-Bias spring flaw damages printer)
Because of a design flaw, there's a small plastic tab that holds the x-bias spring in place. When the tab breaks (notice I used the word when and not if), the spring will punch a hole in the circuit.

The printer doesn't "pull" the paper properly so every sheet has a trail of black marks which renders it useless for anything you want to hand out. Secondly, the black ink blobs on the page. When I went to HP for help all they could say was, "use another cartridge". Since I was using a new cartridge straight from their manufacturer this also frustrated me. I've changed... more info
