4.0 out of 5 stars Ignore my original rating - Don't buy, August 10, 2008

By	Jean Luc "Jean Luc" (TX USA) - See all my reviews

*** Update February 22, 2009 ***
New rating: 1
(The Amazon site won't let me change the actual rating so the best I can do is put in this comment.)
After 9 months the printer started malfunctioning. With full ink cartridges it would print horribly as though it was out of ink. I had an extended warranty but was told they can't get parts to fix it. Fortunately I was allowed to exchange for a different make. Until now all of my comments below held true - but reliability with this unit seems to be a problem.

*** Original Review***
I have had the printer for about 2.5 months now and haven't had any problems. Had it set up and working in a matter of minutes.
Some other reviewers seem unhappy about its lack of bluetooth or that it doesn't have a USB cable in the box. This didn't bother me because I wasn't expecting it to be bluetooth compatible, and I knew it didn't have the USB cable in the box.
Pros:
- Easy set up. Installed drivers from CD, plugged in USB cable, worked like a charm.
- Prints fast
- I love having scanning and copying capabilities built in. Have used both and it worked just fine.
- Inexpensive ink
Cons:
- Louder than most printers (I have seen other reviewers comment on this as well)
- The paper tray design is a little weird. The output paper almost lies on top of the input paper. Seems to work fine for smaller print jobs but my guess is that it wouldn't for larger print jobs.
- Copying/scanning must be done one page at a time. But this is typical of most home printers.
- Would be nice to have automatic duplex printing. But most home printers don't.
So if you're looking for a high end professional office printer for high volume copying, duplex printing, etc., then this probably isn't the printer for you. If you need a decent home printer/scanner/copier it works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's alright, December 26, 2008

By	J. Jones (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is our first multifunction printer and it works alright for what we use it for; printing, copying and scanning. We haven't tried printing a picture but I'm sure it does that alright too. The only complaint that I have is the original printhead malfunctioned but Kodak was very quick to replace it free of charge. It does take a while to warm up before printing but once it starts it prints quickly.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you have a Mac, don't buy Kodak, October 9, 2008

By	B. Bock "raucouscaucus" (Downey, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have a Mac, don't buy Kodak printer/scanners. The scanning driver doesn't work well at all. It puts the computer in a state where you have to restart in order to scan again. It uses Apple's lousy Image Capture utility and it requires a very precise order of actions to take place to work. Deviate and it fails. Do yourself a favor.... don't buy this.
