Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've put this all-in-one to the test for a couple weeks now - and we love it. We use it from three systems in the house, one running Vista, the other two running XP. HP's support for Vista has to be downloaded. It is really stupid that they haven't updated the CD in the box by now, not made the download idiot-proof (or even close). Downloading and using the Vista update is a little challenging - but it works.
Three KILLER featurs:
(1) two sided printing
It's about time we had an inkjet printer to do this!!!
(2) scanning to directories on our machine (to directories on Vista, which are password protected - nevertheless very easy to setup)
You load documents, push a button, select one of 10 preset places to scan to - and press START - the files show up as PDF (color) in the directory.
I've scanned stacks of onesided, stack of two sided, and a bunch of odd-and-ends receipts on the flatbed (one hint: tell it what size you are scanning on the flatbed, and it will double its speed because it won't scan to figure out the size and then scan for real).
(3) It is a network printer - so it is NOT dependent on any one computer being turned on - it is on our home network and simply receives and prints print jobs.
It is FAST (in draft mode). Very very fast, and good output (some unevenness - which is fine). In normal mode, it is slower and the output is excellent.
It is a tad noisy sometimes. It was very noisy during setup, and any time it is powered up and seems to sort itself out internally. This worried us at first, but it seemed to only be a setup issue - and not during regular printing. It is not a silent printer - but not excessively noisy either. If you want "laser printer level quiet" - this is not it - it is certainly not that quiet or smooth.
I do recommend HP fix their Vista downloads to be reasonable to us - it is embarrassing. It is also disappointing they haven't gotten around to updating their CD in the box.
The product is good. We've used the scanner, printer and FAX features well enough to be sure this is a winner.
