4.0 out of 5 stars Great product-- a real victory for HP, April 9, 2002

I did a LOT of research before settling in on this product by HP. Some of the crucial things I looked at were macintosh OS X support, support reliability, color print quality, black text quality, scan speed, size, and how obvious the controls are. The HP came out great in almost all of these catagories-- but I have to admit, the things that really got me was the color print quality. I stuck a piece of photo paper in the store demo and slapped down a vivid color print I took in Wales, and I was blown away-- I thought it looked great, and was very true to the original image. And that was the COLOR COPY option-- in other words, no software interface or scanning.

Since I've had it a couple months now, I have to say the thing I use it for the most and that has been consistantly the most valuable is the black copy option. I took 5 minutes to get used to the top control panel and now I regularly run off 5-10 copies of important things for my business, lectures, etc.. Any *major* copy job I still take to Kinkos, but it's so convenient to get a couple more copies when you just need one or two-- which for me, is a lot.

The scanning software works very well, generally. It's not as great as I would like, but it does do scans quickly and efficiently to Photoshop, Mail in OS X, or Preview. Just the fact that HP put some real EFFORT into OS X support makes me on their side. I'd like to be able to do better work with the images and cropping before scanning, though.

The OCR only seems to work using OS 9 software.[...]

The creative copying option-- right there on the top of the machine-- is a brilliant design. With a few selections I can have a color copy of a photo automatically fit to the page I'm printing to. That's pretty cool.

All in all, I'm really pretty happy with my purchase. The software went buggy once and did some weird things, but I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it seems to be fine. If you can find a good price on the black refills it seems to really work as a cost-efficient option as well. I've seen reviews that seem to dog the PSC series as not being up to the OfficeJet standards-- maybe, but they work great as a home business/cost-efficient option and really pack in a lot of the whallop of the OfficeJet. I wish there was a direct FAX option-- surely that's only another $15 at this point? But still, I haven't needed to use the FAX option yet, and I use everything else every day.

I love it. Good Job, HP.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great All-In-One!, August 29, 2001

Although the price was a bit high, you get a great all-in-one scanner/printer/copier! The programs are simple to use and the quality is excellent. You can even send scanned items directly into certain programs, like an e-mail service. The speed is incredible, it takes very little time to print in either black and white or color. Pretty much, this all-in-one is great if you want quality, speed, reliability, and ease.

4.0 out of 5 stars Printer does the job, good support, December 31, 2001

My wife has a Macintosh that that we hooked this printer up too. She is very satisfied with the color quality, and speed, and she even boasts about the speed it scans documents with.
I had to contact HP support once because I messed up the all-in-one software (I should have read the documentation better).
HP's support set me on the right path, and sent me an updated CD with the latest drivers on it.
I think this printer was a wise purchase for us, and I would recommend it to a friend.
