5 of 5 Very good quality Printer for Home and small offic Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Walter Szczuplak from Hazlet, NJ  

This printer is excellent in that it performs very well. So good that I own three of them, (two for college kids) in their dorms and one for the home small office. I previously owned a Canon and an Epson and both were worthless.

5 of 5 Excellent Printer Saturday, June 28, 2008
Kendal from Delaware, OH  
I've had this printer now for several weeks, and for a single-function printer it is very nice. Great print quality, good speed, and the wireless or wired networking is a huge plus. I've printed color images on it, but I mostly print out B&W -- it does a great job with both. The wireless feature lets me keep it in a convenient location in my house, and even move it easily if necessary. The printer has a nice web-user interface for configuring various things about it. Wireless setup was fairly painless -- wired set up was a complete no-brainer (I tried both). The only negative I can find (and a very minor one at that) is that when it's turned off and you're using wireless it does not automatically turn on. This is a great printer at a good price if you just need or want a stand-alone printer for general purpose printing.

4 of 5 OK printer, poor packaging Thursday, November 29, 2007
A Customer from San Jose, CA  
My primary reason for purchasing this printer was for the built in wifi networking. I previously bought a HP all-in-one and the wifi was so easy to set up that I decided to go that way with another remote printer. Unfortunately this printer's wifi was no where near as convenient to set up as the all-in-one. I did get it going, but it took a fair amount of work. Overall the printer is working well. One complaint I have was the packaging. The top cover is a dark smoked acrylic that came with a plastic sheet coating to protect the finish in shipping. There was also a 4" x 6" label listing the benefits of HP printers that was adhered directly to the acrylic, under the plastic. The label has a horrid adhesive. I tried cleaning it with a variety of products that wouldn't remove the adhesive.
