5.0 out of 5 stars Great little printer!!, August 1, 2006

I bought this printer at the bequest of a customer for his home office install. It works great and the Bluetooth option is worth getting! Basically the only difference between the 460C, 460WF and 460WBT is the type of card includes for the Compact Flash slot. WF has a Wireless CF card, and the WBT has a Bluetooth CF Card. If your laptop is bluetooth capable and WBT option is great - no wires and setup literally takes 5 mins. The printer turns on quickly (the self test is only a few seconds) and printing is very fast for an inkjet. Quality is par with other inkjets (not laser quality but very close). I highly recommend this printer for travellers or people who need something with small footprint for small spaces or those who want something light/sleep looking. HP came up with a winner with the 460c.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this printer!!, November 9, 2006

This printer is billed as being a portable printer, with the option of wireless connection. That's what I wanted - a wireless mobile printer. I know I should have checked further and found the other models with all the capabilities. But I didn't. This "moblile printer" has to be plugged in to 115 V, because it has no battery. (Batteries are extra, or are included with an upgraded model.) It also doesn't come with a wireless adapter card - Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. (Wireless adapters are extra, or are included with an upgraded model.) So, this "mobile printer" has to be plugged in to the wall and to your computer. That doesn't make it very mobile. In fact there are great ink jets for 1/2 the price that are available if you want to plug in cables. The CF slot on this printer is Type I, which is not noted anywhere on Amazon. The industry standard Wireless G cards are Type II, so they don't fit. Only the special HP Wireless G card is Type I, but even that isn't noted anywhere on Amazon. Buy the HP 460wf (wi-fi) or the HP460wbt (Bluetooth) instead. They include a battery and a wireless card. By the way, the printer itself is very good. But I hate the way it is being marketed!

It's definitely a tiny printer. I submitted a photograph of it next to a water bottle and an iPod to the gallery at the top. So far, I haven't had any issues with it, but there are some things about it that I don't like.

Pros:
- Very small, especially when the various trays are folded up.
- Pretty fast.
- Good print quality.

Cons:
- The top paper feed tray folds up and back at about a 45 degree angle. It makes the printer take up a bit more space than I'd like.
- The printer doesn't automatically turn on or off. My old printers would automatically turn on when I print something and turn off after a few minutes.
- Pretty expensive compared to regular printers.

Overall, it's a good buy if space is at a premium or you need something portable. The quality is good and, so far, I haven't had any issues with paper jams or lockups.
