This product was sent to us with a faulty power supply. Also, the HP tech support made us aware of a bug in it that causes the printer to go into sleep mode and stay there. After having a replacement printer and then a new power supply sent to us, the printer works fine. But, we cannot install the firmware that will ensure we never have a problem with the sleep mode.
The print quality and scanner are exceptional, but I'm not sure all the technical headaches were worth going through for this product.

My wife picked this up for home use, and we've been very happy with it. I have a Canon PIXMA MX860 in my office, and love it, but it's a bit too hefty and large for the space we have for a printer at home. The HP Photosmart does exactly what we need at home, and fits well; in spite of a few early difficulties, we've been using it for a long time and have been quite satisfied.
We had a couple of troubles at first setting it up for wireless access - and ended up using a USB cable for a little while -- but then my wife spent some time with an HP rep on the phone, who helped her to set it up on her MacBook. After she had installed a firmware update for the printer that is available on HP's website, I was able to set it up on my own Mac laptop without any problems - I think part of the key (at least on the Mac) is having your firewall setup to allow wireless access for selected applications, including the HP Photosmart app. I had similar difficulties setting up my Canon, which (once again) I love, so I don't hold this against HP. Networking is always a bit tricky.
We've had this for about 10 months and have no other serious complaints. It seems to manage the ink better than our previous inkjet printer, it prints very quickly, and does a good job with color printing and even photos. The copier and scanner works very well. One feature you get with the Canon Pixma that you don't get here is the ability to convert a scanned document to a text file -- another feature is the built-in fax. If you need an all-around-office device, I'd recommend taking a look at the Pixma MX860, which is not all that much more expensive than this one. Still, for its more compact size and its overall utility, we've been quite happy with this one for home use.

Great product - works well with Vista and XP. I upgraded from a C4280 to get wireless printer capability for my laptop. Love it!
Had Lexmark printers previously. HP is far superior plus the ink cartridges are much more economical than Lexmark.

I got this printer two days ago from a local shop, installed for my home wireless network which has four computers. Out of four computers, two are windows XP pro, one is windows XP pro / UBUNTU (linux) dual boot, one is windows xp home laptop. The first setup needs to be done via USB cable, but once you setup, you can take out the USB cable and use the printer as a network printer.
The full set of software from HP is too big, and have bugs. In my case, there is a component that always hangs during the shutdown process. But if you only install the basic driver, everything is fine. Printer works fine, scanner can be used by windows camera & scanner wizzard. Anything other than the basic device deriver are simply a waste of bandwidth.
UBUNTU was able to detect the printer off the wireless network easily, and automatically download driver files, and both scanner and printer works well under UBUNTU.
There can be fancier printers, but for $69.99, this is not a bad deal...

Trouble from the get go. Installation was difficult. Wireless installation impossible with Windows XP. HP support is useless...this I determined after hours online with various support personnel. Subsequent to installation, the problems are still many. Most frustrating of which is that the printer feeds multiple sheets of paper, no matter the weight, at sometimes an angle! I decided to junk the printer. I purchased, successfully installed and am now happily using a Cannon Pixma MX 860 for printing, copying and scanning.
