Pros: Great 2 sided capability, wired and wireless, Fax, Scan, Copy and print features, scans 17" legal, prints 14" legal. XL sized ink cartridges. About 1/2 the cost per page printing compared to all others. LED display is clear and easy to use.
Cons: List price too expensive. Discounted everywhere so don't pay retail!
Summary: This is a really nice all in one printer. Does everything a small home office needs in one printer. Highly recommended.

Pros: Good speed, excellent quality, user panel functions easy to use
Cons: Control application software has serious issues on installation. Required 3 attempts to get this running including downloading a 3325MB file to use instead of the included CD. An obvious negative impact on PC performance with the software running.
Summary: HP needs to have better design standards for Multi-functional products. software is very inefficient and exceptionally resource intensive.

Pros: This printer reproduces color copies nicely and holds a lot of ink (prepare for wallet shock however when it DOES run out. It's small footprint saves space. Keep ink on hand because you don't get much lead time if it runs low.
Cons: Printer tremendous amount of time aligning during jobs. PPM is drastically reduced - especially on jobs over a hundred copies. Export tray is bad design, falls off a lot.
Summary: Not having anything to compare it with, other than my Brother laser black ink only printer 8460N (Brother did an EXCELLENT job on that one) I'd probably look at ...
Summary: Not having anything to compare it with, other than my Brother laser black ink only printer 8460N (Brother did an EXCELLENT job on that one) I'd probably look at a Brother color unit next time but this Inkjet does do a nice job. Note: AFTER I purchased it, the salesman babbled on about how they aren't designed to last much over 2.5 to 3 years.
If you don't mind wasting time - this printer is nice. If you need fast uninterrupted printing of jobs over 50 a lot, don't get this. The alignment process will make you crazy. So will the longer pauses for whatever the machine stops for ink warnings etc. Not sure what the stats are on line but over the last year .. mine tended to print 5 -6 color pages per minute on standard copy.(Good looking) Best is even slower but looks great. I end up using draft quality a lot if I need something in numbers in a big hurry - and still get bogged down with the aligning interruptions. I've had it a year now, and learned that it's very touchy with paper when doing the draft speed. Fast, it can skip copies - send thru blanks.
Bottom line. It does a quality print job if you have time to waste waiting thru the aligning or watching for ink replacement warnings so you can either tell it to continue or replace the cartridge. In other words, don't leave the room until the job is completely done. Ink - expensive but good quality prints. Terrible output holder - it comes off too easily every time you add paper .
Good info. screen.
Average color copies per minute is 5.5 on 'normal'.. and almost double that on draft.
Seems reliable so far.
