Great deal for $$$

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a great deal for the price (I paid $150). It's nice to setup all computers to print to this one network printer - it does a great job. Supports all current windows versions and lets you scan over the network with Windows. I used Linux CUPS HP C6100 drivers in Kubuntu - works very well.
Cons: none yet - setup static IP address first thing right from the printer's control panel and then install software/printers on all your machines. No problems. HP's printers test page doesn't seem to work for me - but windows test printer works fine.. don't know what that problem is.
Other Thoughts: Setting up the static IP first thing will get around DHCP issues (especially if you're using a broadband router's DHCP). I did not think the scanner was any louder than any other scanner I've ever heard - no noise issues with mine.

What it does, it does very well

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Vista ready, ethernet support, duplex printing, Web Smart printing, easy to set up and use, separate ink cartridges, high-quality printing, scanning and copying.
Cons: Difficulty getting it networked, bulky software, printing delays, noise and vibration
Other Thoughts: The only reason I didn't give the C6280 five stars was because of the problems I had getting it to work properly on my network. Once I assigned it a static IP address, the problem with the printer disappearing from the network was solved.

I mentioned the printing delays, noise and vibration because some might find them objectional. They are only minor annoyances to me, not major issues. I chose the advanced installation and only installed the software I wanted.

Some have criticized the C6280 for what it doesn't have - PictBridge support, fax, document handler and other advanced features. But I won't do that because this has all the features I need at a price I can afford. Best of all, it does everything I need it do do very well. My primary uses are printing photo-quality digital images, Web printing and occasional scanning and copying.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great printer scanner copier... when it's not smashed.
Cons: Does NOT ship well at all! I bought one of these locally and used it for almost two years and absolutely loved it! We recently moved, and the scanner smashed in transit. I liked it so much I ordered a duplicate last week... and it smashed in shipping. Being in the middle of setting up a new home, I'm not dealing with returning it and all that so I just bought a different cheaper model locally for now.
Other Thoughts: Five stars for the unit... Zero stars for getting it to your house in one piece.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a nice printer, maybe a little slow but what do you expect for the price? If it was 3 or 4 hundred bucks I'd be disappointed. You get what you pay for, albeit the best price anywhere from the Egg but you buy middle of the road you get middle of the road performance. It does print incredibly nice photos!
Cons: Most people don't know this but HP printer come with a 1 year warranty but not if you don't buy the printer directly from HP. If you buy it here you get what is left of the warranty because it starts from the date of manufacture, not the day you buy it from Newegg. If it was manufactured 11 months ago you get 1 month of warranty. It's really stupid, I know. I am going to research other printer manufacturers and find one that does not have this policy. I like HP printers but I will never ever buy another one!
Other Thoughts: None, I'm still in awe that a company as big as HP would have a warranty policy this idiotic. I'm surprised they have as many customers as they do!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: None to speak of
Cons: Slow printing times, especially when hooked up to network.
Smears like crazy, allow 1 hour drying time before touching the printed document (I wish I was joking about this).
Lackluster scanning .... yet to try photo printing, I really dont have the spare time to let the photos dry.
Other Thoughts: Steer clear of this HP printer.
