HP Photosmart C309g Driver Download for Windows, Mac, and Setup Guide

HP Photosmart C309g Premium belongs to HP’s MFP. On the front, it is strapped what looks like an iPhone. However, far from a phone, it is a 3.5” ‘TouchSmart’ display which does away with the myriad buttons common to most AIO printers & makes this printer a cinch to set up.

Text Performance

This printer can handle draft-quality black text well on photocopy paper, with slight feathering only. It can print 10 pages in 46 seconds, with a 1-second spool & a 13-second print time for the first page. That’s good but not impressive.

Upping the print quality to ‘normal’ gets rid of the feathering. However, that increases the job time to 1 minute & 52 seconds. This job time is still acceptable. But while the characters are darker, they are no better-formed. Therefore, we would recommend sticking to the normal setting.

Great Grayscale

Business graphics are dealt with very well, with strong, solid colors. This printer proves no less proficient with photos. There’re 5 inks under the hood. They include the standard black, yellow, magenta, and cyan, as well as an extra, photo-strength black for subtle shading.

HP Photosmart C309g Premium produces super-sharp results, with excellent definition and faithful colors. The only thing that lets its photos slightly down is the dense black areas, like night skies.

Simple Set up

C309 Premium belongs to the simplest printer to set up. Colorful & high-res screen shows the remaining ink level, controls the copier, and also allows you to print different pre-defined forms such as music paper, Sudoku grids & weekly/monthly calendars.

Then, you’ll find C309g’s bland appearance at the downside of the smart display. There is only one button located on the front where that button is for power. The button is made from dark brown plastic.

Overall, its software bundle is very good. The linked comparison-shopping engine pulling in the best prices for ink supplies from different retailers is also impressive.

Final Conclusion

Come to the conclusion, this printer may easily have smacked of desperation. However, even though it has thrown in every feature it could think of seemingly, this printer remains a well-rounded device that comes with great performance as well as a truly useful & helpful touch screen display. It is not a game chancer & it is not unique. However, HP Photosmart C309g Premium simplifies & enhances the printing experience greatly.
