Product Description

The Photosmart Plus E-All-in-One (which I'll call the Plus eAIO for brevity) can print, copy, fax, and scan. It can scan to a computer or to a memory card, though not to e-mail, and it lacks a port for a USB thumb drive. (It supports memory cards in the SD/MMC/MS Duo families.) Under the scan menu, there's also a Reprint function, which lets you scan a photo and print out a copy on 4-by-6, 5-by-7, or 8.5-by-11 photo paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Easy to Set Up and Use, September 17, 2009

This review is from: HP Photosmart Plus Wireless All-in-One Printer (CD035A#ABA) (Office Product)

Contrary to other reports here this printer was very easy to set up and start using. I am a Mac user and installed it very easily before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Of course, everyone's computer is set up differently and will react differently to installed hardware, but I found that if I followed the easy setup instructions then setup was a breeze. In fact, I probably didn't even need to use the HP software because when I plugged the printer into my iMac running Leopard 10.5.8, OS X picked it up immediately and set it up for me -- scanner and all. What's more, I have two Windows PC-based laptops and they both saw and installed the printer wirelessly in a snap.

All-in-all, I was very surprised just how easy the printer was to set up. I was anticipating it to be more difficult than HP claimed. One hint to easy setup is to hook it up to your computer by USB first. Then, set up the wireless features via your desktop. Later you can disconnect it and use it exclusively wireless.

(What's this?)

*** 02/26/11 Update ***
The scanner on this printer went kaput after about six months of extremely light use. Ink consumption is horrid. You either have to use the ink quickly and replace or it will evaporate on you. Either way, look to replace ink QUITE FREQUENTLY. I was hoping it would be better than the junk HP C6380 printer it replaced, but it wasn't. After having three HP printers go south on me in two years (yes, one of the other printers initially praised below went south as well), I've decided to switch brands. While the HPs were dropping like flies, I had an Epson Workforce 600 quietly working away like a good little soldier. No muss, no fuss, no problems. No weird scanning or ink system errors, just consistent reliable performance. I recently purchased an Epson 633 to replace the other HP. I will be buying Epson from now on (unless their reliability plummets, like HP). Good job HP. After over a decade of brand loyalty, you've blown it with this consumer.

This is my fourth HP printer in the past year. I have two in my home and two with my children (students). All of them are multi-function machines (minus fax capabilities). I have been happy with all except my C6380 (piece of junk). So far so good with this printer. Setup was a bit of a pain. For starters, HP eliminated the setup poster that I've grown accustomed to. You have to insert a disk and follow the flash setup presentation. The LCD on the printer also walks you through setting up the printer, inserting the ink cartridges, and loading paper. All of these were relatively easy. In fact, I was coasting along pretty good until I tried to setup wireless on the printer itself. The printer has a touchscreen LCD, so I thought the ability to configure wireless via the touchscreen was included. I discovered you can only configure wireless via the touchscreen if you have a WPS router. I personally like to manually configure my wireless devices, so I was out of luck. With no other options, I installed the software CD-ROM and followed the setup guide. I discovered I had to temporarily connect the USB cable to configure wireless other than WPS. So, I connected and followed the instructions. I ran into a couple error messages due to my SSID not being broadcast and the software failing to initially find the printer after I configured wireless. I was able to click through both and complete setup. Although I selected custom setup and deselected all of the junkware, I still ended up with the Yahoo toolbar, HP Shopping, and MSN Live photo gallery software installed, so be careful when performing a custom installation. Make sure it confirms your choices (unless you want those apps installed). After my lengthy install, the printer was ready to go. The color LCD is sharp and clear. Choices are logically laid out and easy to access. You have icons for copying (color and B&W), scanning (and options of where to send scanned files), and photo printing. You can print directly from flash devices and there is a built-in card reader. You can print photo book pages, panoramas, and other creative options without a PC. Printing was fast and quality is excellent. Noise is moderate but tolerable. Scanned images came out good and can be saved as photo files or PDF. You can easily monitor ink levels via the LCD or the HP Solutions software on your PC. The printer comes with a six foot USB cable and a 100ct pack of 4X6 HP Advanced glossy photo paper. The printer uses 564/564XL ink cartridges which don't tend to last too long, especially if you print heavy. Just to give you an example, I've replaced the cartridges in my C6380 three times in the past year. Ink cartridge replacement is relatively simple. Simply open the lid and the ink cartridge centers. Push the tab, pop out the cartridge and pop a replacement into the well-marked slot. Installing the printer on additional PC's is a simple process after the initial printer setup is completed. Simply pop in the CD and the printer will be detected during installation (just don't forget to disable your firewall first).

Overall, I'm happy with this printer. Setup could be made a little easier and it's a shame that they didn't include the ability to configure wireless via the LCD. Other than these minor gripes, printing is good, not the speediest, but good quality. Another good thing is that the CD that shipped with my printer is already stamped "Windows 7 compatible", so no downloading the latest drivers if you have or plan to get Windows 7.

1.0 out of 5 stars 564 ink nightmare, February 11, 2010

By

(REAL NAME)   

HP has two different 564 black ink cartridges. They do not tell you this and the retailer won't know about it either. The "photo" ink, as opposed to the regular "document" ink, are the differences. This is a "Photosmart" printer right? The "photo" black ink cartridge will not fit in it; it is too narrow. So there is 564 photo and regular 564 inks. Only the latter is compatible with the Photosmart Plus. Don't buy the photo bonus pack with printer because it will come with a black cartridge that is not compatible.
