Photosmart Premium
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: fax interface with answering machine, cannot operate the unit without the duplexer
I got this printer at a great value during the Xmas season.
It has all available features. The wireless feature has worked very good for me. I choose this model over the next lower model because of the addition of the FAX feature without adding the extra expense of the Web Direct feature. The white color was a bonus for my wife.
The sheet feeder takes in the sheets a bit slow, but is within expectation for home use. It certainly beats, the inconvenience of manually flipping the pages for copy or fax.
The auto duplexer takes up about 2 inches at the back, pulling the unit away from the wall. So it takes up a bit more counter space than I would like. However, you need about this much space to tip the sheet feeder of to locate a single sheet on the scanner, so its probably not a big deal for this model. When printing 2 sided, the sheets come partially out the outfeed tray, pauses while the ink dries, then pulls back into the unit to print on the back side. Again this operation is a bit slow, but faster than performing the operation manually. A plus for the space was I have placed the power supply transformer on top of it to keep it out of the way and to limit the number of visible cables. The unit cannot be operated without the duplexer, as it needs something to route the paper from the feed tray back into the printer like is used in the base model printer without.
One disappointment for me was that I was planning to locate the the Photosmart in a different room from my answering machine. The manual recommend that an anwering machine is attached directly to the photosmart. For a FAX I received yesterday, I had to accept it manually due to this setup issue.

Does what I expect it to!
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Overall, I'm very pleased with this printer. I haven't tried any photos with it yet, but other reviews indicate that they should be just fine.
It does all the duplexing operations that I wanted and includes features like scan to pdf. It has an included scan document to text (.doc) feature that works pretty well.
The setup went fine. Be sure to go to the web-site (like the big colored paper tells you to) if you have Windows 7 to install the correct software. If you don't have Windows 7, use the included CD (do NOT let it find the driver by itself - it will be wrong!).
The wireless works great. I did all the setups and configurations without ever plugging it into a computer directly.
Not sure about ink consumption, but I burned thru the (non-XL) black already. It has a photo black also, that it doesn't use for normal documents.
It is a bit noisy, especially when you turn it off, but we just leave it on since it consumes a lot less power than our old solution of having to print thru a desktop system to a wired printer. It does go to a low-power mode by itself after a while and lights up when you use it.

Major Disappointment
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations
We did are research before purchasing this printer. It came highly recommended, but was nothing but problems from day one. Prints fine on plain paper, however goes through so many gyrations before printing that you could handwrite the document before it starts printing. Once it starts it spits them out lightening fast. Our big issue came with printing checks on check paper. I have done this on several different printers over the years. The check paper is basically 8.5 x 11 of normal weight. For some reason this printer refuses to feed the paper. It takes feeds about 1/3 and then gives an error message to "load paper." We've contacted the manufacturer, etc. Finally returned it to the store.

HP has a great printer here
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
I have been using the HP Photosmart Premium printer for about 2 months. I have found the quality of the printing to be superior to any printer I have had. The digital printing even on low grade photo paper turned out a good picture. The ability to print on cds you load in is a very nice feature along with all the different memory card slots and the wireless factor is great. For the price i think it is a great buy

3 in one printer
Easy to use! Love it, fax is simple to use, prints quickly, great to have photocopier option. Great photo prints too. Ink cartridges easy to replace and affordable especially Office Max brand. Only issue is that it is a little difficult to remove jammed paper. Otherwise an excellent product.

Great Printer
Pros: Easy to Use, Features
Cons: none that i see.
I really have found this printer to perform all of the task that I require. Should my present one fail, I'll replace it with another one exactly like the present one. In fact, I paid much more than the current price, which was still a great deal for the money.

Great Product So Far
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: noisy
I purchased the printer a month ago and used it three times. It's a nice looking printer. It prints, copies and scans well. I've produced a couple of photos and it looks great. The only feature I haven't used is the fax.
The printer is a little noisy when it starts up and prints. Other than that, it's a pretty good printer.

great
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Duplex printing is the best of this printer...you don't have to set it or even have to put paper back in to print other side. When you do graphics and card creations, it is so simple and your able to print out many cards at once and then get them ready to send. It will be ideal for the holiday. I cannot wait.

So Easy To Use....A Monkey Could figure It Out!
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, light weight and not cumbersome to put together, excellent print and picture quality
I am new to technology and quite frankly, technology often scares me off of buying new equipment. I was so absolutely thrilled when I brought my HP Phtotsmart Premium Fax Inkjet All-In-one home. It was simple right out of the box. Surprisingly, light in weight and not cumbersome to pull out of box. Every area of the machine was labeled as to wear certain items were to be placed, ex: cartridges , paper, trays. The directions are so incredibly easy to understand. Even better is the quality of the print out of paper or photos. The machine pays for itself when you think it often costs $1.00 per page to fax documents outside of the work place.
because of the quality of this all in one, I feel like I have my home office is running like a well oiled machine! Honestly, if I can do it....A monkey can do it!! Thank you HP for a wonderful product.

Love my printer!
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, great deal, slick looking printer
I decided to go with another HP printer as my previous printer was also HP and it lasted 8 years! Now, that's a long time! The reason I decided to get a new one is because the old one wasn't compatible with the Vista Op system on my new laptop. It would print fine but it didn't scan.
So, I was really surprised to see how cheap multifunctional printers are now after all of these years! 8 years ago, we spent over $500 and this one I got at OfficeMax for $200 + $50 Office Perks! Great deal!
I really love it, it was SUPER easy to set up wirelessly (that is a GREAT feature), the picture quality was outstanding, and I was able to easily print out fast and economical prints. The scan quality was very good. I have not tried the fax yet as our phone line is not working. However, it looks very easy to set up.
Overall, I love everything about it and look forward to many years of printing!

HP, always excellent
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
HP is a wonderful producer of printers and other electronics. I have bought and used several HP printers over the past 15 years, each model is improved and more reliable with each next generation of technology.
This HP Photosmart All-in-one is no exception. The color and printing quality from business needs to photo needs is impressive. Pictures are crisp and clear whether on a photo mat cardstock or everyday printing paper (choosing which type of paper you are using before printing allows for better results).
The paper feeder tray is the best of HP's to date, allowing for faster copying and faxing, with hardly any worry of skipped pages (because they're stuck together), misalligned papers, or paper jams. Haven't had one yet.
The machine is easy to use, buttons on the console itself replace the need of learning new printing software for the computer. Your own computer intuitively knows what you are trying to do when you push the buttons on the printer. Yes, some software installation is necessary before your computer will intuitively know this, but the need for user interface, once installed, is minimal. Older printers required an entire handbook just to learn the software in order to scan documents or photos into the computer. This is install and forget, if you choose to. You can still use your computer to do the same things perhaps with a little more control of specific output.
Overall HP continually impresses me and if it wasn't for the industry change in connectors over time (parrellel ports to HP specific ports to USB to wireless) I would still be using all my older HP printers (I still use two older ones for generic uses). So in conclusion, reliability has been great with HP products.

Good Printer
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: ink usage
Excellent copies. Able to download pictures from camera to computer through printer using memory card.
Biggest drawback is ink usage. It uses a large black and 5 color ink cartridges. They are not expensive for HP, but I have to replace them frequently.

Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, great price, small footprint
This is a fantastic buy. The printer, fax copier is wonderful and there is no way to beat the price. Combinded with the name quality of HP and their woderful support both customer service and tech support you can not go worng with this machine. I bought one for myself, my Mom and my neice who is in university. They both love it too. Get one now while they are on the shelf, they won't last forever.
