I see the same issues with the OfficeJets but only with the Inkjet models. The laser models work flawlessly for me but they are only black and white, at least the ones I have. I only use the InkJet Hp for printing of maps and it's usually a fight even with a static IP set in the thing.
As far as Dell, they used to be made by Lexmark but I've seen some that were HP. I'd actually steer clear of Dell and just go with whoever makes the Dell model you're looking at due to their hard to find proprietary ink. I HAVE had some luck with the Kodak printers now that they seem to have their firmware figured out. The ink is way cheap as a bonus. Not a heavy duty machine but they seem to do the job.

I've used HP printers period for... 20 years? However, the OfficeJets continue to have paper handling and other issues. They are used far less than their service duty allows. I also have a problem with the printer disappearing on some computers. I was recommended to Dell all in one printers, but their user interface for the scanning, faxing, etc. features is horrible. I need something that works, does copy, fax, scan, print, and is easy enough for non-techies to use.
