What You Should Know about the Photosmart C6380 All-in-One

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.

Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Fast Printing, Excellent Photo Quality, Easy Setup

Weaknesses: Slow Power on and off

Overall Evaluation: Very Excellent printer, does exactly everything that I need it to do, and the wireless has work very well with my home Wireless g router. The slow power on and off makes thing difficult for a fast print job if you haven't had it on for a little while. I turn mine off to save power, but since it takes forever to start up, I wonder if its worth it? Either way, excellent in quality and speed. I recommend to anyone.

Duration of ownership: 1 Month

Strengths: None.

Weaknesses: Stops printing in color for some unknown reason. I called HP tech help and they were not helpful. Wanted me to trouble shoot forever, and thats not my job. Took it back to bestbuy who swapped me out another one. So guess what. Same thing, the darn thing will print a few pages in color and then nothing.

Overall Evaluation: I would not buy this printer.
