I bought this printer as I am switching over to everything WiFi. And I liked the idea that I could free up some counter space by replacing both scanner and printer.
When I received it, I noticed that a few things looked a bit cheap; like the power connector. Oh well, considering the price, I figured they had to skimp somewhere.
I setup the printer with a Win 7 laptop, and went off without a hitch. The wireless connection set itself up easily, and I was amazed at the test photo print - they even give you a "sampler" pack of 3 4x6 photo paper to test the printer.
The scanner function uses the built-in Microsoft Fax and Scanner utility, so there is no scanner software per-se. I tested it and it worked as expected.
The only thing I dislike is print drivers seem to have become major apps with 100Mb driver files! So far there is an annoying pop-up each time I start the PC that I need to figure out how to get rid of.
So next, I installed the driver in my Win XP computer. "File not Found". I look at the installation CD... it says XP/Vista/Windows 7. So off to HP's website and download a new driver, which worked on my Win XP machine. OK, so perhaps XP is a bit old, but my netbook came with XP when I purchased it last year, and I am not going to pay Microsoft a dime more than necessary to upgrade to Win 7.
So then I fired up both of my Ubuntu systems. Went to the print manager, and both Ubuntu machines found the printer without the need to install a driver, without the extra garbage (print coupons, photo web site), and without the annoying pop-up messages each time I boot the machine. Oh how I wish for Ubuntu to become the desktop OS of choice.
But I digress...
The printer even has bluetooth, and I was able to print photos from my cell phone and iPod Touch. That was pretty slick.
All in all, a pretty decent printer.
I don't usually have a problem understanding setup and use of computers and printers, but this situation is beyond me. Perhaps I shouldn't be blaming the problems on the printer because it could be that the wireless AIO PC just isn't recognizing the printer most of the time. I've had so many problems that I'm not sure at this point if it's the PC or the printer, but it appears to be the printer.
The initial setup went well, no problems, but it's been down-hill from there. I have managed to print some great quality pictures and also quality copies of documents, but these were done from the touch screen on the printer which was easy enough to work with. The problem is with getting the computer and printer to interact.
I get varying responses. It may be "There is a pinhead problem" (not true), "Printer is disconnected" while I sit here looking at the "on" light on the printer which is only four feet away. Other times I get "Printing document" but nothing happens, so I turn off printer and restart then it will spit out 3,4 or 5 copies of the document. The only "Help" that the HP Printer Solution Center offers is "Check the connection between the product and the computer" with a pictue of a USB cable connecting the two, but since both are wireless there is no USB connection cable to check. Most "help screens" don't deal with wireles very well and don't even mention Windows 7. Guess HP hasn't caught up to the release of Windows 7 yet.
I've been through every HP online help site that I can find and spent endless hours trying to resolve the problems to no avail. I don't even want to think of calling HP. I would rather throw the printer in the trash than deal with a "service representative" on the phone since I have so many problems that I wouldn't know where to begin and I can't really explain to someone who isn't speaking the same language as me. I'll continue trying to work out the problems and if I do find the solutions I will consider upgrading my review. I just really needed to vent my frustrations for now.
UPDATE: November 13, 2010. I have junked this piece of crap. Have spent more than eight hours on phone with techs in The Phillipines. They can't resolve the problems either. My HP TouchSmart computer fails to recognize the wireless connection so I have had to use the USB cable, which works. However, I can never get more than 70-80 pages of print before ALL of the cartridges run out of ink. I've spent more on ink than the printer cost. No more HP COLOR printers for me. I must give credit to my HP Laser Jet 1020 however. Have had it for two years just to print black only and haven't had to replace the cartridge yet. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
