Editorial Review

Hobbyists and small offices will gain equal benefit from the HP Scanjet 4890. With non-optimized resolution of 4,800 x 9,600, 48-bit color, and 256-level grayscale, every image or text document comes out sharp and clear. The built-in adapter allows you to quickly produce sizable batch scans of 16 slides, 30 negatives, multiple medium format film frames, or a single 4" x 5" film negative, making short work of archiving old treasures or processing professional shots.

cheap but frustrating
i mainly bought it to scan slides.i wondered why the other reviewers said it was slow, now i know: it scans it once for preview and you get 20 dime size photos and you can select all or deselect certain ones or ones that are too dark, you must indivdually select to include in the final scan.then you hit scan and it scans 20 times, one pass for each slide, if your lucky.half the time it stops and you get a message that something is wrong with the template that holds the 20 slides, well there is nothing wrong with the template! so you start all over again but you must go to preview and deselect the ones you have already scaned or else you will get duplicates.it's cheap and the results are good but it's frustrating to use.

The software kills it!
I really need an HP scanner because that is the only brand that does a good job on 3-D objects. My old HP 5300-C scanner was a wonderful device with great software. I finally wore it out after 5 years and 100,000 scans.
Excellent Scanner - Worth Every Cent
I just bought this scanner today to replace a 5 year old SUPER great HP6300C scanner that broke.

Terrible, terrible, terrible scanner
I bought this scanner refurbished, my first document feeder scanner for home use. All of the problems that these other users have had I am having in abundance also.
When it works it's great
The trouble is it is temperamental.
Exemplifies the demise of HP quality
Buggy hardware and software. Software has multiple patches trying to correct many problems, but most of the patches don't work.Scannerfrequently "locks up."Much time wasted uninstalling and reinstalling software to get the scanner to work.The first scanner stopped working and was replaced by HP, then the replacement scanner stopped working outside the warranty period.Overseas tech support is polite, but ineffective.This scanner and the premature demise of my HP 3200 All In One printer have ended my use of HP peripherals in my office. ...

Doesn't completely work with Acrobat
I got this to help me scan paper documents to save as pdfs to de-paper my office. Except for some difficulties clearing the rare paper jams, it seems to be fine mechanically.
Awesome scanner once you get the issues worked out
I agree that I did have some problems with paper jams in the ADF.But then I noticed that it seemed to mostly happen with smaller width paper (11" long, but less than 8.5" wide) and legal size documents when trying to duplex.Well, then I read the manual (duh!) and it clearly states that the scanner is not set up to duplex legal size documents or unusual sized paper.So I thought that was a problem.
wonderful addition to my office
I haven't had any of the problems the other reviewer mentioned.The document feeder has not jammed on me yet and is incredibly quick compared to my old machine.Once you customize the settings, it's one touch operation. ... Read more

Not for scanning large documents
The primary problem I have encountered with this scanner is more software related rather than the scanning quality or something else hardware related.
Bad scanner
I got this unit about two months ago. As other users have indicated with their units, my scanner has begun making a shrieking sound which is quite unbearable. The unit never scanned very well, and now it barely scans at all. This HP product is very attractive and well priced, but what does that mean if a piece of hardware is poor? It took me a while to figure out that the scanner was making the shrieking sound. I thought my computer was dying. I've had many scanners and never encountered anything like this before. Reading reviews here and elsewere has actually confirmed my suspicions that this is some type of design defect. I used an Agfa SnapScan 1212u for almost 8 years without a problem. I "upgraded" because I wanted a faster (USB-2 as opposed to USB-1) scanner, and a unit that had slide and film transfer capabilites. This scanner was never much faster than my Agfa and the quality is on much, much lower. Terrible. I would advise anyone reading this to buy another product.

Pretty good scanner
I've had this scanner for a couple years now and I like it a lot.It was given to me as a present from a friend.There are many things that this scanner does right, but it doesn't do some stuff properly.

Frustration doesn't cover it!
Since I first wrote this review I discovered that the fault was not with the scanner but with my computer.After formatting my computer I was able to install the scanner and software without any problems.I am still learning to use it but so far I have decided not to return it.It works well and I like it very much.I apologize if my review has negatively effected anyone's choice.

"Frustrating" does not begin to express my feelings!
I have now spent more than 10 hours downloading software patches, deleting programs, adding programs, & rebooting -- all to no avail. Not 1 scan has completed successfully. My system is a well maintained Dell Dimension running Windows XP-Home with 512 meg main memory and a 100 gb hard drive that is less than 25% full.I run Norton Systems Works, Corel Paint Shop Pro X and Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 8 software without problems.I installed a HP Photosmart 8250 printer in Mar. 2006 that has performed and continues to perform well & problem free.
Works wonderfully for me
Luckily for me I didn't read the negative reviews here before I purchased, or I wouldn't have the really nice 4850 scanner. Maybe I'm just lucky, but everything about this scanner has worked very well and the scans are great. The software installed without any problems, the pushbutton controls work great and the scans are fast. I would like to note that I have a computer with an AMD 3200+ CPU with 1.5 gigs of ram and lots of hard drive storage and it's set up for video (home movie to DVD) and general business use. That may be a factor in having no problems with this scanner and having only good things to say about it.

printer SUCKS!
I have two of these bought at the same time.... BOTH of these pieces of s@#$%t don't feed right and I've taken them back to Best Buy to fix them/replace them only to get them back doing the same thing... and it's too late for a refund.I feel like HP and Best Buy have my b@#$s in a vise!Don't buy it.

extremely unreliable
The first problem with this printer is the hp software that comes with it.You must install a program that always runs in the background called the "digigal imaging monitor"this program causes our computer to run slowly and refuses to end itself about 50% of the time, causing the computer to freeze.Also, the printer itself always misfeeds or jams or feeds all the paper through, and you must constantly stand next to it and make sure the paper feeds correctly.Don't be fooled if it works well for the first few days, it will eventually break like it did for everyone else who wrote a review.It amazes me that a brand like HP would sell a piece of s*** like this.

The most frustrating printer ever
This printer absolutely refuses to operate with any consistency. It either pulls a dozen sheets of paper from the tray and clogs itself up, or only one sheet about halfway, clogging itself again. Even babying it, trying to feed it one sheet at a time proves to be an exercise in frustration.

Satisfied with this printer.
I have nothing negative to say about this printer.It works perfectly and I have had no problems.It is quiet and much quicker than my last printer so I am happy.My ink runs out fast but thats because my 8 year old seems to think she has to print everything she sees.[...]Just wanted to pass this info because I am sure there is someone out there that appreciates saving money as much as I do! :)

Just a quick tip from a full-time computer specialist...
I own this printer and have not had any problems with it.The ink is somewhat short-lived, but the key here (like with any printer) is to set your settings appropriately, which it's clear that some of these reviewers have not done.
easy
This printer is easy to set up and use for the person who uses it every now and then. ... Read more

Works great!!
I'm a network administrator (among other things!!) and my boss decided to buy this scanner for my department.I do a LOT of scanning and I don't have any complaints about this scanner.We've had it for about a year without any problems. It's true it takes a while doing the first scan, because it has to "warm up the lamp", but after that it's very fast.It comes with some bundled software you can use to scan several parts of a large image and then put them together like a puzzle, but to be honest I rather use photoshop to do that job, and I get great results!!
Plenty problems
I'm now on my third scanner of this type.
Great Scanner .... But,
It is a great design,, very easy to use and takes up little desk space.BUT, scanning any photos with large black spaces (ie black backdrop) left a streaked look and the black was more of a grey.HP promptly sent me a replacement scanner.This one the steaks are gone, but the black areas are still grayish and blotchy.

Crappy Software
BEWARE of using this if you are trying to scan to PDF - especially if you use PaperPort software.The pdfs show up with a documate watermark on them indicating that it is a trial version.GOOD LUCK getting it off...tried the ScanSoft support - they know it is an issue but their 'fix' doesn't work and you'll have to pay $40 if you want to talk to someone.Still have not figured this out.Also, pages scan at 25pp per minute once they start going through - the wait time at the start is long (even if you don't use the energy saving mode).

A Great Scanner That Does A Lot Of Things
I love this scanner!I got it over a year ago and it is still working strong.I got it for the ADF feature.I use the ADF with Acrobat Writer.Very rarely does the ADF jam and when it does its due mostly to user error.When it does jam it does not eat the paper and it�s easy to correct.The software that comes with it is simple to use.Make sure your computer has loads of memory if you plan on scanning anything over 600dpi.I�ve also used this to archive photos taken on the job and it does a great job at that.I don�t suggest buying this scanner if your main requirement is film or slides.For that you should get a dedicated machine.I�ve used with USB and SCSI.SCSI is faster but usually I don�t notice the difference unless I�m scanning over 600 dpi.The only bad thing I can say about this machine is that it can be noise.Good luck.

Expected better from HP
Very noisy & slow scanner. A very poor scanner; Very noisy and Poor photo scan quality
When using the automatic document feeder, it produces document scans that are skewed slightly. HP technical support says this is normal.I find this completely unsatisfactory.You will not be able to produce accurate document scans.Read more

Online support useless.
OK so I am some what computer savey and why would I say that I manage 24 stores that have anywhere from 5 computers to 12, so I do have some basic Knowledge. Online support is useless.Unless the problem that you have is so basic that a 10 year old can resolve they havent a clue, or at least the two that I got didnt seem to know.It seemed like the instructiona they were giving me was right out of the text book.Oh they probably were because everything they kept tellig me to do was the basic stuff that I did.Lets not forget that once your chat begins these guys are on a time litmit amd that is about an hour and then they are quick to tell you some bull response so that they can disconnet. This keeps upper managment happy, they see the report and they tell the manager what a great job you are doing. Do not buy this item unless you are ok with buying another because it seems that this is what I will have to do.Oh and do not use the online support unless your not savey with technology otherwise it feels like youve been insulted by these kronies.So do the research first and find out which product is best and buy it and hope you do not have to deal with online support.

Good printer/copy/scannerfor my purposes
I purchased this printer about 2 1/2 years ago now for around [...] dollars after rebates. I must say, this has all the features I need, and good quality prints/copies/scans.

Worst Scanner I have ever used
This scanner is horrible.It jams constantly when using the ADF. The OCR software they have included is useless.

Does a whole lot for the price!
This scanner offersa wide range of functions for $299. It does a very acceptable job with photos, after scanning about 250 documents, I have had no paper jams. The duplexing is great for two sided scans, however ther is some bleed throgh when scanning with the adf when there is print on both sides. I solved this problem by choosing the option to scan to word and then using the picture toolbar to brighten.
DONT BUY THIS SCANNER
Constant jamming, especially in duplex mode, very difficult to get the paper out of the machine once it jams.

A very solid scanner
I recently purchased my HP scanner from an online discount house. Unfortunately, the scanner arrived without software or a printed User Manual. However, rather than get upset, I decided to assemble the scanner (which took 1 minute). I then went to the HP website and immediately found and downloaded the software & device drivers. After installation, I attahed the USB cable, plugged in the power cord and, after a few seconds I was scanning documents at blazing speed. I was even more impressed because I am using a rather outdated PC running Windows XP with 512M RAM. Yet the scanner runs flawlessly, and the document feeder NEVER jams - which a very important consideration. I am thrilled with this HP product. The software could be a bit more user friendly, so I will only give it 4 stars.
Pittiful OS X Support
When is HP going to figure out that this is not 1998 and the Mac platform is not dying, and in fact growing faster than the rest of the industry.
A good, solid product, but . . .
Don't believe HP's claim that the 8290 is "network ready". I was disappointed to learn, after I purchased mine, that the scanner cannot be accessed over our network, because our operating system is not NT4. If you use Win98, Win2000, or WinXP, forget the network feature.Read more
