Strengths: photo quality

Weaknesses: short life

Summary: I have always purchased HP printers and liked them. This one was no exception. This printer had excellent photo print quality, high speed printing and easy to use. BUT after only 3 months things started not working. First I couldn't print photos then I couldn't use the scanner. After owning this printer for only 4 months it became completely unusable.

Strengths: Nice layoutAttractiveGood document feeder

Weaknesses: Ink costs me about $3.00 for each full size print.Customer service abysmal. Refused to pass me to manager.Less expensive to discard printer than to support it.

Summary: Very, very slow to 'prep' between prints. sometimes up to 3 or 4 minutes wait time.Advertised speed is only under limited circumstances, not average usage. An expensive lesson.

Strengths: Once you FINALLY get it to install, it's great--WHEN IT WORKS.

Weaknesses: I simply CANNOT COUNT ON IT to work. And it It always seems to fail me at the worst possible time.

Summary: It took forever to install. (A problem I have had more recdently with new HP printers.) I simply cannot count on it to be ready to scan when I need it to be ready the most. I would never bet my life on it being ready to scan. Most of the time, I have to restart the computer. And even then it gives me stupid and bogus server errors. Then it locks up. Prints nice pictures and the fax works ok, but DO NOT COUNT ON IT TO SCAN WHEN YOU NEED IT TO.

Strengths: Printer works great

Weaknesses: Software is a horror with Vista and WORD added.

Summary: After using word, it crashes and word reboots its self. HP has a work around that is useless and they say a new driver is in the works. It takes over a year! Very frustrating.

Strengths: Good print quality, user friendly software, nice button layout and flexibility on control panel, all in one capability

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: I bought this refurbished, thinking that the process of re-doing the device would make sure that it would work out of the box. It did. I took the chance that I could work around any software issues by downloading the drivers from the HP website. So, I had it waiting on my desktop when I installed the HP software on the included CD. I have a LAN with two PC's and one wireless laptop. I decided to hard wire this AIO and not go wireless. I was successful in loading the HP software from the CD, with only one difficulty on a PC which immediately self corrected merely by opening the downloaded drivers, after which it completed the install. Everything seems to be working. Document feeder, fax, printer and scan have all been used and the performance is great. I like the idea of separate ink cartridges. I have to be able to save money on ink with this arrangement. I'd recommend this for purchase if you have a fair amount of tech savvy. And, be sure to download the drivers from the HP website and have them ready to go when you install. I have an older HP 7550 directly connected to one of my PC's and I'm very much tempted to buy another of these (refurb of course), and connect it in wireless so my wife can print all her church bulletins and not wear this one out.

Strengths: Does everything I want easy.

Weaknesses: Would be nice if it had bigger paper storage.

Summary: When I received this printer I was worried about the problems that have been stated in reviews getting it to work with the computer. In less that 2 hours I had it unpacked, installed the software in t

Strengths: Great features, if only you could install/use them.

Weaknesses: Software is abyssmal and unusable

Summary: I've had this for six months and no HP rep can tell me yet how to install it correctly. The installation package on the CD as well as the update from the website generate random FATAL ERRORS. I've never been able to install anything but printing on a network printer...no scan to computer, no nothing. I've never even been able to install PRINTING from the USB connection.

Strengths: Has all the necessary features

Weaknesses: Software Nightmare

Summary: Has all the necessary features.The software takes a long time to load ,after loading ,it did not work properly.It took all day to get this printer software to work.Called tech support three times.The software that came with the printer did not load all the software correct.Finally one of the techs had me to load the software from the internet,now its working find.Basic instruction need improving.

Strengths: LCD screen, auto feed scan documents, prints excellent pictures. Great for Realtors & FAX mode

Weaknesses: Auto Sheet Feeder sometimes has problems pulling in pages.

Summary: Overall this is a wonderful printer. FAX ability allow you to use calling cards. For me that was huge as I don't have a long distance carrier on my home land line. This helps keep our costs down. Unit monitors the inbound calls for FAX tones when someone answers the phone and will auto pick up the FAX. The auto sheet feeder for scanning is also helpful, with a realtor in our home this allows a time saving when dealing with large amount of documents. Install the latest software from the HP website. I had no problems installing this printer onto our home LAN network. All 8 PC's on our LAN have access to the printer.

Strengths: - Top-Notch Software package- Wireless & Network Features- Rich Photo Quality- USB Card Reader to get rid of clutters

Weaknesses: - Small Print Cartridge

Summary: This one printer completed my office including multiple pages faxing, with others I have to insert one by one to fax, rich color photo printing, super fine scanning. My 10 year old HP Scanner still works perfectly till this day, but I was so impressed with HP product, esp this new one. A little trouble with wireless setup, but it works rather than a promise. Features-rich software, multi-function hardware & nice glossy appearance are all we want to go for. Highly recommended.

Strengths: Easy to set up...Love the wireless and photo printing from the copier.

Weaknesses: A bit larger than I wanted. But the sacrifice was worth it!

Summary: I just used it today , but I love it already! It has many features, fax, copy, and its Wireless!. You can edit photos from copier, no computer needed. Glad I purchased this one. I love HP Printers

Strengths: This is a great all-in-one device that works perfect for home and small business needs. It faxes, scans, copies and prints good photos. You can't beat HP for printers. It's a great buy!

Weaknesses: Software installation was time-consuming, but eventually successful. Photo printing requires six cartridges which has the potential to be very expensive.

Summary: If you have a wireless network, this printer can provide you with the ease and convenience of wireless printing. It's great to forego the USB cable, especially when you have a laptop. The photo quality is very good. Faxing capabilities are more than adequate for home or small-business uses. The software installation was a little tricky, but ultimately successful with Windows XP. I would highly recommend this HP all-in-one. It is fast, hard-working and does everything you want.

Strengths: Document Feeder plus flatbed scanner.Ink comes in 6 different colors

Weaknesses: Ink is expensiveScanning is so-so

Summary: We bought this all in one printer to replace both our old printer and scanner. We really like having the 50 page document feeder and this is the only "Home" all in one printer that HP makes that has a feeder tray.We tend to scan a lot of images and the All in one works, but the scanning is less than par.The photo printer itself produces some very nice colors and we really like have each color ink in it's own cartridge. The only bad thing about the cartridges are that they are pretty expensive and you find yourself buying around 4 to 6 at a time.

Strengths: Very nice features. HP support is very good.

Weaknesses: Has taken a lot of my time to figure out why I am having certain problems with it. There is a need to work out some of the kinks in this printer.

Summary: This is my third printer; however, I am not giving up on HP. I had the 6180 version of this printer and it stopped functioning after a year. Luckily, HP stands behind its products and because I had an extended warranty, I got this one which is pretty much the same. The first one purchased could not read the new cartridges. I took it back and now I am having the same problems. I learned that you must use the new cartridges immediately and not try to use the ones that were from the former printer. I went through three service agents before I found this out. I still love the printer; however, it has been costly in terms of time. It keeps wanting to reinstall the software. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. If you have time on your hands to figure this all out, purchase it. If you don't, research a different printer and buy it.

Strengths: Duplexing, wireless networking (in theory), automatic document feeder

Weaknesses: cannot duplex photocopies, cannot duplex documents used through the automatic document feeder, wireless networking falls in and out, wired networking doesn't work as well as it should.

Summary: I bought this AIO because it has duplexing capabilities, and an automatic document feeder. Duplexing was important for obvious reasons, and the ADF was key because few things are more annoying than having to manually place a 40 page document on the scanner or copier screen. I was *very* excited that the ADF works well, especially when scanning. However, the ADF does *not* work when you are trying to copy or scan two-sided pages. There also is no option that allows you to scan odd pages first and then even pages, so that you can eventually combine the scanned or copied pieces together into one printed or saved document. This means that both the ADF and the duplexer functions are rendered useless when your original document is two-sided. This is a huge minus for me. Even a software update could resolve intensely annoying issue. The duplexer also doesn't work when you want to photocopy a one-sided document (but want it printed on two sides). Secondly, there are a few networking issues with the printer. When networked wirelessly, the printer kept getting "lost" and then coming back into range. This led me to hook the printer up through a wired network. But even on the wired network, when you are at the printer, in theory you should be able to "scan to" a computer. For whatever reason, the printer cannot always "find" my computer. Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't. I've spent hours upon hours on the phone with HP installing and reinstalling the printer so that I can resolve its network issues. If the software weren't so bulky, maybe it would've taken less time, but the software is an absolute nightmare. Once the printer is set up, it works fine (minus the features mentioned above). Just have the patience to set it up. Several times.
