Comment:

Purchased to replace an solid older HP printer that died. The 3520 is more lightly built with mostly plastic parts. Jammed on first use and then jammed one out of four passes. The price and CR's recommendation were the motivators for selection. Unit was returned and replaced with an HP Office Jet 4620.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
