Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When they say All In One they're not kidding with this device. I have owned this device for a little over 2 months now and have put it through its paces. First of all this beast is HUGE. Its about the size of a 17-19" monitor width wise.It will fit snugly on top of a standard filing cabinet. Its fairly easy to assemble and get up and running. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS as they're printed or you'll have issues with your computer recognizing the drivers, especially if you're not using XP.
The print quality is outstanding! I have never seen a printer print such vivid colors or such realistic fleshtones. Especially one not considered a photo printer. But this is where the device shines. WIth a photo cartridge and HPs photo paper, I cannot tell the difference between a photo printed on this device and a professionally printed photo. The media slots are a plus. You can use them to open photos on your computer as well so it does act as a card reading device for your computer rather than hooking up your digital camera directly to the computer. It will NOT print a document from a media card however. You must print from the opened document.
Its copying abilities are good with minimal jamming in the feeder tray. Plus its so easy to open and pull out a jammed paper. You can specify how many copies and what quality you want them from either your computer or from the LCD panel. Very nice!
Its scanning capabilities are average to very good. There is no notching or markings as to where the page is oriented so getting started is a little tricky, but once you get it, very easy and fast scanning. Make sure you have a decent sleep mode time set or you'll be blinded by the scanning light that is always on unless the whole device is off or sleeping. Minor annoyance at worst.
Its faxing is well... faxing. It does the job. Its easy to set up, its easy to program, and it sends faxes. Need I say more.
Now the device also comes with some photo editing software which for someone who's buying a device like this, you should already have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or other editing program. The HP photo editing program is non-intuitive and cumbersome. The software is a serious resource hog on your computer. I would not install the software if you have a 650MHz dinosaur like I originally installed this on. It severely slowed down my computer. On a 3GHz with 1Gb RAM computer, no issues with the software at all. You are not forced to install the photo editing software, you can choose minimal install and it'll only install the drivers and the HP updater
Overall, if you have the means and the need for a powerhouse like this, I'd recommend it highly. Its sturdy, big and professional in appearance. Its wireless capabilities are a nice plus even though I dont use that. The 2 paper trays and the duplexer make it even nicer. A small minus, no override paper tray. So printing a single envelope or a single odd size sheet of paper is annoying. I had hoped that HP would have added this feature on such a feature rich product
