User Reviews for HP Photosmart C4480

Reviewed by: shaunmtai

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Prints / Copies / Scans, Fast, 1200dpi B&W, 4800x1200 resolution, cool memory card reader and design

Weaknesses: Price is a tad high in my opinion, lots of other all-in-ones at similar price range; ink is above average, cost wise

Overall Evaluation: I bought this HP C4480 as a backup for my laser printer; its great because one machine is able to print, copy and scan. The photo prints actually come out semi-lab quality - not bad! Its a speedy machine too, 30 ppm (pages per minute) for black and 23 ppm in color. The built in memory card reader is handy especially at work where I don't have all the wires / card readers. I think this generation HP printers have a great, sleek design as well. The slowest of all functions is the scanner portion, but most products are the same way. Overall, an average priced machine that is above average!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: all-in-one printer, well built

Weaknesses: none

Overall Evaluation: this printer frees up space by having a printer, copier, and scanner all in one machine. It is also easy to use. It isn't that heavy either when you think about how much just a standard printer weighs. Definitely an awesome machine!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Comes with a 1.5 LCD and a media card reader for quick printing/scanning/copying without the computer.

Weaknesses: No wireless capability, though at this price point its not really a weakness.

Overall Evaluation: Installation is fairly simple with 1.5 LCD giving step by step instruction on how to setup the printer. Despite what I have read about the software, I have not had any problem installing it on my first try on Windows XP Home. After setting up I printed a photo with the 3 photo papers it came with and was fairly impressed with the result. With the Hp software its possible to shrink or crop the picture but there is no option to stretch to use with the borderless printing option. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

What You Should Know about the Photosmart C4480

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.
