Duration of ownership:2 Weeks
Strengths: nice form factor,prints,scans,copies,faxes great
Weaknesses: cheapened down from HP printers of a few years ago
Overall Evaluation: read the book twice before unpacking and installing,downloaded the newest software from HP before installation. Setup and installation (wirelessly) on my network and software on 2 computers (Vista & XP) took less than an hour. The software took about 12 to 15 minutes for each machine. Works flawlessly on both machines. Of course it isn't topof the line,but close, replacing my officejet G85 and it has a lot tolive up too. None of the problems with software as listed in some other reviews here. I like it very much so far. Worth it for my money!

Strengths: LCD screen, auto feed scan documents, prints excellent pictures. Great for Realtors & FAX mode
Weaknesses: Auto Sheet Feeder sometimes has problems pulling in pages.
Overall Evaluation: Overall this is a wonderful printer. FAX ability allow you to use calling cards. For me that was huge as I don't have a long distance carrier on my home land line. This helps keep our costs down. Unit monitors the inbound calls for FAX tones when someone answers the phone and will auto pick up the FAX. The auto sheet feeder for scanning is also helpful, with a realtor in our home this allows a time saving when dealing with large amount of documents. Install the latest software from the HP website. I had no problems installing this printer onto our home LAN network. All 8 PC's on our LAN have access to the printer.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: - Top-Notch Software package- Wireless & Network Features- Rich Photo Quality- USB Card Reader to get rid of clutters
Weaknesses: - Small Print Cartridge
Overall Evaluation: This one printer completed my office including multiple pages faxing, with others I have to insert one by one to fax, rich color photo printing, super fine scanning. My 10 year old HP Scanner still works perfectly till this day, but I was so impressed with HP product, esp this new one. A little trouble with wireless setup, but it works rather than a promise. Features-rich software, multi-function hardware & nice glossy appearance are all we want to go for. Highly recommended.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: This is a great all-in-one device that works perfect for home and small business needs. It faxes, scans, copies and prints good photos. You can't beat HP for printers. It's a great buy!
Weaknesses: Software installation was time-consuming, but eventually successful. Photo printing requires six cartridges which has the potential to be very expensive.
Overall Evaluation: If you have a wireless network, this printer can provide you with the ease and convenience of wireless printing. It's great to forego the USB cable, especially when you have a laptop. The photo quality is very good. Faxing capabilities are more than adequate for home or small-business uses. The software installation was a little tricky, but ultimately successful with Windows XP. I would highly recommend this HP all-in-one. It is fast, hard-working and does everything you want.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Document Feeder plus flatbed scanner.Ink comes in 6 different colors
Weaknesses: Ink is expensiveScanning is so-so
Overall Evaluation: We bought this all in one printer to replace both our old printer and scanner. We really like having the 50 page document feeder and this is the only "Home" all in one printer that HP makes that has a feeder tray.We tend to scan a lot of images and the All in one works, but the scanning is less than par.The photo printer itself produces some very nice colors and we really like have each color ink in it's own cartridge. The only bad thing about the cartridges are that they are pretty expensive and you find yourself buying around 4 to 6 at a time.

Strengths: Very nice features. HP support is very good.
Weaknesses: Has taken a lot of my time to figure out why I am having certain problems with it. There is a need to work out some of the kinks in this printer.
Overall Evaluation: This is my third printer; however, I am not giving up on HP. I had the 6180 version of this printer and it stopped functioning after a year. Luckily, HP stands behind its products and because I had an extended warranty, I got this one which is pretty much the same. The first one purchased could not read the new cartridges. I took it back and now I am having the same problems. I learned that you must use the new cartridges immediately and not try to use the ones that were from the former printer. I went through three service agents before I found this out. I still love the printer; however, it has been costly in terms of time. It keeps wanting to reinstall the software. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. If you have time on your hands to figure this all out, purchase it. If you don't, research a different printer and buy it.

Strengths: Duplexing, wireless networking (in theory), automatic document feeder
Weaknesses: cannot duplex photocopies, cannot duplex documents used through the automatic document feeder, wireless networking falls in and out, wired networking doesn't work as well as it should.
Overall Evaluation: I bought this AIO because it has duplexing capabilities, and an automatic document feeder. Duplexing was important for obvious reasons, and the ADF was key because few things are more annoying than having to manually place a 40 page document on the scanner or copier screen. I was *very* excited that the ADF works well, especially when scanning. However, the ADF does *not* work when you are trying to copy or scan two-sided pages. There also is no option that allows you to scan odd pages first and then even pages, so that you can eventually combine the scanned or copied pieces together into one printed or saved document. This means that both the ADF and the duplexer functions are rendered useless when your original document is two-sided. This is a huge minus for me. Even a software update could resolve intensely annoying issue. The duplexer also doesn't work when you want to photocopy a one-sided document (but want it printed on two sides). Secondly, there are a few networking issues with the printer. When networked wirelessly, the printer kept getting "lost" and then coming back into range. This led me to hook the printer up through a wired network. But even on the wired network, when you are at the printer, in theory you should be able to "scan to" a computer. For whatever reason, the printer cannot always "find" my computer. Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't. I've spent hours upon hours on the phone with HP installing and reinstalling the printer so that I can resolve its network issues. If the software weren't so bulky, maybe it would've taken less time, but the software is an absolute nightmare. Once the printer is set up, it works fine (minus the features mentioned above). Just have the patience to set it up. Several times.

Strengths: All in one feature, easy to use. Nice printing and copying qualities. ADF works fine without jams. In addition, the card reader feature is really helpful.
Weaknesses: Takes very long time to install the software. Some parts of the software are not helpful or user-friendly.
Overall Evaluation: This is a very nice ALL in one printer (fax, copy, scan, and print). It is really easy to follow. The wireless and duplexing features are amazing. Printing and copying qualities are excellent. This printer also comes with a flash card reader feature. Some drawbacks I found out were that the installation process could take very long time, also software come in the package are not very user-friendly. Price of the printer is kind of high.
