Duration of ownership:6 Days
Strengths: Software Installed easily on both USB and ethernet (on a second PC). So far, after only 6 days, it works well, and as I bought it for $199 in the boxing week sale at HP I am very pleased with it. I was very surprised to get free delivery at that price. Printing 4x6 colour prints is very fast and the prints are very scratch resistant and don't have that 3 dimensional look of prints from my old HP 1210 where the ink is very noticably on top of the paper - not in it.
Weaknesses: I bought this partly to scan slides, which it does 4 at a time; and negative film strips. Works well except it ignores dark colour slides. These are viewable slides, but it will not scan them. The photo correction tools are OK, but you can do a better job using Picasa - which is free!
Overall Evaluation: So far so good.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: smooth and nice printer with full features andtouch screen. very quick to print
Weaknesses: inks are individual and run out sooner thanlarger ones . have to go to pick up new onestoo often.
Overall Evaluation: very nice features with wireless network veryeasy to set up. very easy to use with one of the fastest printing speeds available. priceis more than expected but quality of printsis one of the best for ink jets. inks are individualfor each color and black and are of too small a size to be on such a heavily used printer.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: USB, ethernet and bluetooth connectively, touchscreen preview screen, bulid-in flat scanner, six seperate ink carts
Weaknesses: Pricey
Overall Evaluation: If you can find a great on deal on this printer, jump on it. That is exactly how exactly how I ended up with this printer. For the money, it very feature packed and photos that come out are of excellent quality. The software that comes with it is easy to use and easy to make corrections on photos and to organize them. The multiple ways to connect the printer via USB, ethernet or bluetooth makes it very flexible. I'm currently using the ethernet port and it works very fast as it should. Anyone on my network can use it. I like how it uses six inks so I can replace the color that it out instead of having to replace three colors at once. Overall, it you are looking for a all-in-one with lot of features and great quality, take a look at this printer. You will not be disappointed.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Touch-screen stand alone operation; photo quality; speed
Weaknesses: Not really a weakness---but, it's not "laser-quality" and initial price of $399 was a little steep
Overall Evaluation: This is a great all-in-one printer. The printing quality on photos is really vivid and almost actual "photo" quality. I've had this for about 3 months and don't really have any complaints. It is a little slow to print if you just start it up, but I leave mines on and it just goes to sleep, but instantly prints once I send a document. If you turn it off then on when you want to print, it takes a good 1-2 minutes to print. I suggest just leaving it on. This won't hurt it. I've had mine on since I bought it and haven't had any glitches.A nice perk to this is double-sided printing so you can save paper with this feature. The inks are individually loaded so you only have to replace the ink that runs out and not the whole kaboodle so it saves on ink in that way as well.The fact that it is wireless was a great selling point for me and being mac compatible was a deal maker as well, since not all printers are mac compatible. It was really easy to set up right out of the box and instantly configured to my wireless network. Overall, this is a great printer whose strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses if it even has any. Might be a little pricey and not "laser" quality, but for a wireless, jet, all-in-one photo printer, you can't go wrong.
