HP Printer query

Slinwagh · 6 Mar 2006 at 08:16

Im looking at getting the HP 8450 printer. I have managed to find two HP part numbers for the printer Q3388A and Q3388B.

If you search for these part numbers on the HP website you appear to end up at the same product. Going by the HP site it is the same printer.

Anyway I have found a retailer that appears to be selling both of the printers by each part code, there is almost £60 differance between the two! (£117.49 vs £178.33) inc VAT ex delivery.

Obviousy I am looking at the cheaper of the two !!

Does anyone know for sure if at all there is any difference between the two models?

Hmmm interesting, the online retailer I have found the printer on has it listed for £117 inc VAT

That is a lot cheaper then everywhere else Im just curious as to whether it is a typo or a diffeerent product.

i would do a goggle for that model and drivers.

seams to be a fair few people reporting driver issues with Hp printers at the moment .
