Summary: non-neophyte says "hell yes"
Comment: Most of the reviews I read of this printer had some complaint about how the software is nothing but bloatware, etc. If you're _competent_, you can do a custom install, and not install junk you don't need. Problem solved.
The printer itself seems to work just fine (I've only used it a handful of times since I bought it; school hasn't started yet), and the photo printing is amazing (I came from a non-photo-printer, so perhaps the quality of this one won't measure up to professional photo printers). I have yet to use the scanner, so can't review that. The printing quality itself seems just fine, and the ink cartridges have yet to run out.
All in all, this seems just fine. It functions, and that was my first qualification for a printer.

Summary: Not for use with a Mac
Comment: After reading mixed reviews about using this machine with a Mac I called HP and was told it would work with a Mac, " no problem". After receiving the machine and found it would not work with a Mac, I again called HP and was told ,"well it will sorta work with a Mac if you don't want to use all of the machines features, some of them will work and some won't." I returned it to Amazon for a full refund. Five stars for Amazon , Zero stars for HP.

Summary: Printing DVD is okay, but forget scanning
Comment: I should have known better than to buy a low-end HP printer, but the features sucked me in. I need to print at least 2 test pages before the colors print correctly, which wastes A LOT of ink. The scanner is worthless. The only positive feature is the ability to print on DVDs, but again I need to print test pages before I can get a simple black and white label. If I don't, the labels come out purple or pink. This is the last HP color print I will EVER buy. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Comment: I've had this printer for a little over a month. Today was the SECOND time that I've spent well over an hour on the phone with customer support. To make things worse, the man was so hard to understand that it took 15 minutes just to get my personal information inputed! By far the WORST printer I have ever bought. Constantly jamming. Not worth the trouble for AVERAGE print quality. Buyer beware!!!

Summary: You can try to kill it...it will not die!
Comment: My last HP printer lasted about 5 years (and still worked pretty well when I upgraded), so I decided to go with the HP again.
Came home a little tipsy one night, ran into my desk, sending the printer crashing onto the wooden floor and into pieces. Next morning put pieces back and it works good as new. These guys at HP are getting better at making some sturdy machines.
Also, it prints nice.
