    3 of 5 Not that good for Photo Printing Sunday, January 04, 2009
    A Customer from Atlanta,GA  

    I purchased this Printer from Buy.com for $19.99. Very quick shipping.Installation takes time, lots of unwanted software got installed even with the quick setup menu.Photo quality printed is not that good. But am satisfied with the normal print scan and copy qualities.

    5 of 5 Bang for the buck Tuesday, December 30, 2008
    Judy from Fulton, NY  
    Slickdeals.net led me to this printer early one Dec. morning, and it made my day. The all in one was purchased for $19.99 with free shipping and arrived about 3 days later. It took my DH about 10 minutes to set it up. He ran a few tests and then we were off. I have used it several times from printing, copying, photos and scanning. It is so easy to use and is much more compact than my last all in one from Dell. I highly recommend this little HP all in one for anybody who wants good quality photo print and copies.

    5 of 5 Better than Expected Saturday, December 27, 2008
    Kathy from Lawrence, KS  
    I was one of the lucky ones who purchased this at an unbelievably low price. Because of the price, I didn't have high expectations but it is a great printer and works perfect for what we need at our house. We have used it for printing documents, scanning, and printing pictures with great success. We also used it with iron transfers...the colors turned out great. I couldn't believe how quickly it arrived with free shipping! It shipped the day I ordered it!

    4 of 5 Price was excellent!! Wednesday, December 24, 2008
    A Customer from Bergholz, Ohio  
    The only issue I have with this printer, is it did not include the USB cable with it. It is not a standard USB cable, so I have to order it, costing me another 24.99. The printer was only 19.99 on special. So the cable is costing more than the entire printer.

    4 of 5 I Got This As A Gift Monday, December 22, 2008
    HP Printer Buyer from McKinney, Texas  
    Hello, I was asked to write a review for this product and so I will. I originally bought this product because of the great deal Buy.com was having for them. I received the printer in its original shelf box with a UPS sticker on it, it was taped all around it, and the bottom of the box was smashed. I will update my review if this product is not worth purchasing. I do not know if it is as of right now. Good luck!

    5 of 5 Outperformed the Competition Sunday, December 21, 2008
    Lenny from Akron, OH  
    I bought two identical new printers, within a few hours of each other, one from Buy.com and the other from Buyd$g.com, both with free shipping. I got my order from Buy.com in 3 Days! After 9 days, I still hadn't gotten anything from the other company until I sent them a note. Then I got a notice that the product was just shipped. Way to Go Buy.com. You get my vote.

    5 of 5 Excellent printer for every day needs Sunday, December 21, 2008
    Elaine from VA  
    Print quality is very good. I love the fact that I can close the paper feed. I store my paper in the scanner bed and feed the paper in one sheet at a time. I am then able to use both sides of a sheet of paper. I would highly recommend this printer for every day use.

    5 of 5 Pretty good performance Sunday, December 21, 2008
    Hong from East Windsor, NJ  
    I bought this printer for just $19.99, a very very good deal! Meanwhile, I got a free Budget Shipping which is also very fast, it only takes 4 days to reach my house. It looks very smart, and the installation is very easy and fast in my windows XP. Otherwise, the print speed is very fast, and the print quality is pretty good too. But the USB cable is not included in the box, so make sure you have one before you buy it.

    5 of 5 Great buy at the time Sunday, December 21, 2008
    A Customer from Pleasanton, CA  
    With the exception of a missing USB cable, I couldn't be happier with this purchase from buy.com. The special price was only $20 -- cheaper than a cartridge! I went for the free shipping, and was pleasantantly surprised to receive it on the 3rd day. This is a great deal for a multifunction printer with LCD display. As I said the USB cable was missing. Buy.com took no responsibility for it and directed me to contact HP instead. Given the USB cable only cost a few dollars, I opted to get one myself.

    5 of 5 awesome for the price Sunday, December 21, 2008
    A Customer from detroit, mi  
    i only paid $20 so there's nothing not to like. i'll probably pay more on replacement cartridges but the "fast draft" mode is very good quality so the ink should last for a while. it didn't come with a USB cable but i already knew that from other HP printers. the LCD is nice when it shows you a human readable error message rather than looking up blinking lights. have not tried printing photos or using the card reader yet and i probably won't use it too much.

    5 of 5 Unbeatable Price. Great Performance Sunday, December 21, 2008
    Randall James from Port Huron, Michigan  
    The Entire price of this device covers the Card Reader alone - not to mention it also has a Scanner and High-Quality Printer with many different configurations for letter feeding, paper sizes, etc. Installs easily and works great in Windows. For you Linux Users (Ubuntu user myself), it blows Windows away. I just plugged the printer in, "Printer Installed" Pops up on my screen and i'm printing from Ubuntu Linux. Card reader and scanner work perfectly in linux as well - Awesome!

    A Customer from King of Prussia, PA  
    This is a great printer. The kids are using it for homework etc. So I'll have a better idea in a few months about how its holding up. The ink in the cartridges included does not last too long. I guess the included cartridges are the smaller ones. Overall I am happy.

    5 of 5 Great Deal! Sunday, December 21, 2008
    Douglas from Cincinnati, Ohio  
    I bought this on sale and would love to buy another one for the same price. The printer was very easy to setup and install. I was mildly disappointed at first that it wouldn't work on my PC with Windows 2K, so I installed it on my PC that runs Windows XP and shared it on my home network. The HP software that comes with it took a loooong time to load and run but the features that the software offers is great. It prints with nice quality for everyday print needs. I printed one picture with it using the sample photo paper that came with it, it looks very nice. The scanner that is built in does a fine job too. I have printed about 30 pages now and it has worked flawlessly! I am very pleased with the printer overall. Buy one if you can get it on sale, I will.

    It don't have a USB cable included. When you unpack and want to connect it to computer and you don't find the required USB cable. Since we all use the printer to connect to the computer, it will be really helpful if the USB cable is also included in the package.

    The value on this printer is excellent. I purchased two on the "Black Monday" special because it was less expensive to buy the printer than to buy the ink cartridges. The C4480 prints excellent photos.

    2 of 5 Shipping prob. Tuesday, December 09, 2008
    A Customer from Alabama  
    The price on the printer was great. I am not sure how it will be to use or if it will work as I have not taken it out of the box. The only problem I have is that it was sent in its original packagine and buy the time it was delivered it looked like it had been beat up pretty bad. It is a good value money wise, just don't expect it to arrive in pristine gift condition.
