5.0 out of 5 stars HP wireless all in one printer October 25, 2011

I absolutely love this printer. Very easy to set up and was ready to use in about 20 minutes. That included loading the software and installing the cartridges and alighning the printer. I love the fact that I can be in another room and still print. This is my first wireless printer. I would definitely buy this printer again. I did a lot of research before I purchased and glad I did. This is a great little printer for the money spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible value for the money - Update January 15, 2012

By GeeBee

As an amateur photographer, I have never been too impressed with consumer grade HP printers. There was nothing "wrong" with them, but it always seemed to me that Canon and maybe Epson had a better understanding of the 'serious' amateur photographer and it showed in their printers. This printer may change my mind. It's too early to say that with certainty, (just got it yesterday 1-14-2012) but the early results are impressive.

I had been aware for quite some time, that for critical printing of photos, using a professional print lab gives far superior results with less waste. So I had decided that when I needed to replace my aging Canon I900 photo printer (I loved that printer), I would buy more for general convenience and cost of operation rather than photo quality. So that's what I did.

At just $69 US, this printer cost just $10 more than a full set of ink cartridges for my Canon printer. (and comes with ink!). Think about THAT the next time you go to the store for ink!

It's a Wireless,(WIRELESS!)flatbed scanner, printer, and photo copier, uses 4 ink cartridges, black, yellow, magenta, cyan. It has a built in SD/MMC card reader, but no Compact Flash Card reader (not a major problem for those of us whose cameras use CF, but it is a minor problem). No Faxing capability, but any more, that is not a major issue for most people with smartphones connected the internet. It also has a small touch control screen that can also be used to do simple edits for scanned documents and photos.

Build quality seems quite good. Set up was incredibly easy. you remove the packing,run some set-up diagnositcs and alignment utilities, insert the CD (or download the utilities from the HP web site)into your PC and it will ask a few questions and set you up.

You can choose to connect to the PC with a traditional print cable or, if you have a wireless network set up in your home, you can choose to connect to it. That's the way to go. I have one PC connected by Cat5 cable to the network and everything else is wireless. The wired PC uses the network cable to talk to the printer, and the wireless PCs connect wirelessly after you install the printer driver on those pcs. You can also download drivers for your smartphone and tablets too so THEY can print to the printer. But WAIT! There's More!

HP has a free service where it gives the printer a secure email address, so anyone who knows this address (can be restricted to specific people) just emails a document to the printer and it prints. How cool is that? It also works with Google cloud print, but most modern printers do. It also can have simple printing 'apps' installed in it's memory. Basically simple download and print items like the weather, games, puzzles, google calendar, etc, most can be scheduled or printed on demand even if a PC isn't connected to the internet or turned off.

But how WELL does it function? Pretty well, thank you very much!

* Text is crisp and clear, printing a page of text in the mid quality level takes just a couple of seconds. High quality takes about twice as long, but for text documents, the default quality will be fine for most uses.

* Printing photos in the default mode is, well, OK. I printed one of my photos at 8X10 (on Kodak gloss/brilliant paper) with some delicate color gradations and fine detail as a test. It's fast VERY fast, it took just a few seconds, but the colors are a tad 'off' and nothing is quite as sharp as the original photo.

However, when I put it into high quality mode this printer really delivered high quality. The colors and gradation was very accurate and the image overall seemed very sharp. A person who is pretty serious about photography could do much worse. This is a keeper from a casual photo perspective. I'd use this printer to print photos to hang in my house, certainly.

* I did test the scanner functions a bit. I don't use a scanner that often and frankly any level of quality is OK with me as long as it works. But a good review should discuss this. I took the high quality version of the photo I printed above and copied the photo to an HP 4X6 glossy Advanced brand photo paper sample pack that came with the printer. The colors were a bit different from the 8X10 (differences in paper between Kodak and HP paper could account for this though), sharpness was pretty close. On the whole, I think the scanner works reasonably well and captures the detail pretty well for the printer part to use. The scanner is certainly good enough for casual photo use, I think.

I don't know about cost of operation yet. HP makes no claims as to it being particularly economical to use. Maybe that should be in an update later.

That's it, I'd buy it again with no hesitation based on what I know at this point. If it turns out to be defective in some way, I will update this review.

Update 1/31/2012

Don't throw away your old printer cable if you think you might use a cat5 cable! I needed to scan and email a document yesterday at lunch. My intention was to scan from the printer to the PC connected by cat5 cable and then email from the PC. Both the printer and the PC said the scanner could not connect to the pc even though I could use the other functions of the printer just fine from that PC. I dinked around with it a bit and then connected the printer to the PC with a regular printer cable and the scanner worked just fine. Now here is the weird part.

Last night, I had to do some work, so I connected my corporate laptop wirelessly to my home network. On a whim, I tried the scanner and it worked perfectly (remember, wirelessly). To me this is a minor irritant since the printer works as advertised and if I've got to connect with Cat5 cable, its no big deal to also connect with a printer cable. This isn't enough of a problem for me to downgrade my 5 stars, but it might be important to you. I'm otherwise still quite satisfied.
