Rating + 5 Great Printer


Pros: Extremely high quality printing
- Photos turn out amazing, as well as the pharmacy machines when you use proper photo paper
Six Separate ink wells
Easy Wireless setup
Easy to navigate LCD Menu
Sleek and modern looking
Doc Feeder
OCR Software to create text-searchable PDFs
- Absolutely amazing for storing health records, car maintenance records, etc... stuff i kept the papers for and filed that are no longer taking up space on my floor!!

Cons: Typical HP bloated Software
---------------------------------------------
I haven't had this issue, but my dad did, guess I'll share since he'll probably won't write a review. When he first started up the printer, it had an issue with the cartridges. Don't remember specifically what the error was, but it was something about the cartridges not being the right ones or something. He called HP, they sent out new ones the next day FOR FREE, and they were fine.

He also has it set to default print on both sides (OS: Vista) and it throws an alert every time he tries to print with a driver issue. It's odd, because it still works just fine. Just seems to be an annoyance.

Other Thoughts: I haven't done anything too hard-core with this printer, but I've been happy with it so far. Like Suicycoslayer stated, the paper tray is a bit small for people who do a lot of printing. The software will kill your system if you don't uncheck a lot of items. There is a very helpful review on amzon's page that gives tips on what to install and what not to install.

I do love the aesthetics of this printer, it really does look nice. My dad bought the same printer, and actually has it in their living room, instead of hidden away in an upstairs bedroom. My mom is kind of a n00b, and she's able to make copies and scan to the PC with no problems. Very simple system to use.

Rating + 5 Perfect Printer


Pros: I unpacked the printer and followed the quick set-up and the printer was up and running in a matter of minutes. It found my wireless network with no problems. I installed the software on each computer and was done. Great printer.

Cons: Ink is a little pricey but makes great photos. Everthing is a little bit noisey.

Other Thoughts: None.

Rating + 5 Very good machine


Pros: 1) Very fast
2) Near lab-quality photo quality
3) Separate ink tanks for each color; reduces waste
4) Automatic duplexing; again, reduces waste
5) ADF
6) Good scan quality
7) Can print directly from a wide variety of flash media cards; can do some editing independent of a PC
8) Can print directly from or scan directly to a USB flash drive
9) Printing is quiet
10) Excellent web-based interface
11) Seamless network integration
12) Very nice web-based scanning capabilities
13) Inexpensive for the features
14) Separate tray for photo paper
15) Automatic paper type scanning; ensures you don't waste a sheet of photo paper if you insert it incorrectly.

Cons: 1) Black text quality is merely average in standard mode on plain paper
2) Scanner motor is noisy

Other Thoughts: It's tough to communicate in 1,000 words just how much I enjoy this device. It does everything I need it to do and then some; it does most of this very quietly and quickly. The only complaints I can think of is that the scanner motor is noisy (who cares?) and the black text quality isn't as good as a lot of older HP printers on plain paper in standard quality mode. That said, it looks much better in "best" mode on inkjet paper. I only use the included software on one of my PCs, and it works pretty well once the latest HP updates are installed. I've had no connectivity or paper jam issues like some other users here. I really like the web-based scanning capabilities; this lets you use the scan function without installing HP's software suite. If you choose the "text" scanning option, it creates a PDF file of your document. This is an excellent feature for me. All in all, I highly recommend this device, especially at this price. I will update if I begin to experience problems with it.

Rating + 5 Best all in one for the price!


Pros: 1) Excellent photo prints...can't beat the quality
2) Fast printing
3) Document feeder for scanner as well as fax
4) Easy network setup (XP)
5) Duplexer
6) Fixed "low profile" paper feeder. No flip down tray to take up unecessary desktop space

Cons: 1) Paper feeder a little noisy (quiets down during printing though)
2) No CD printing tray like on 5280 (who cares)

Other Thoughts: As you can see by my few "cons", I feel strongly about this printer. I used to gaze at it when it was over $300 but now that it has dropped so much in price, you cannot find a better true "all-in-one" for the price. You simply cannot get a more feature packed printer considered high-end for the price. I have seen complaints on here about bloated software that is buggy and I am not sure where that is coming from. the HP software is solid, fast performing, and is not bloated by any means. It is very easy to use and very functional. My last photoprinter (Epson CX6400) had very weak software that looked like a lot of 3rd party "riff raff" crammed into an Epson shell that did not function as seamlessly as the HP does. One thing that is important to me about this printer that a lot of people overlook is desk space. The Canon's look svelte sitting on your desktop until you have to fold down the flismy paper catch that takes up quite a bit of additional desk space.

Rating + 5 HP Photosmart C7280


Pros: It was a breeze to setup, no connectivity probelms, up and running in about 15 minutes. Most printers except the most expensive ones look and feel cheaply made and certainly not made to last...this one looked more substantial quality-wise than most that I have looked at. The photo quality is very good. I would not hestitate to recommend it.

Cons: Have not noticed anything significant yet.

Other Thoughts: I have been pretty frustrated with the quality of printers that are available. Most are not worth fixing when they break. I have about 5 printers in my garage all less than 2 or 3 years old. I did a thorough search of mid-priced all-in-one photo printers and this particular model kept coming up with very favorable reviews. I then searched for the best price and Newegg.com could not be beat.

Rating + 5 Great Price, Great Printer


Pros: Great Printer! Scanning and Printing with WiFi is great! Very simple setup. Comes with very simple instructions and made setup a breeze!! I installed the software on both a Vista Machine (newer machine) and an XP machine ( 4 years old) with no problems. The disc does come with some bloatware so I advise doing a custom install to only install the needed software.

$99!!

Cons: Kinda noisy. I expected it to be a little quieter, but it no where near as loud as some of the printers I've had.

Other Thoughts: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETUP. Some people have issues with this printer and its software, but as long as you follow the easy to follow instructions, you should be fine. Make sure not to install the extra junk the disk comes with. Also, I am able to print from Ubuntu with this. It was incredibly easy to set up printing on Ubuntu, but getting scanning might be a little more difficult. I don't really need scanning in Ubuntu so I don't plan on trying.

Rating + 5 Nice overall printer


Pros: The quality is very good. I haven't had to change the ink cartridges yet and had it for a month, printing almost daily. Duplexer is a nice feature to have.

Cons: The drivers are setup incorrectly. When you try to print double sided it comes up with an error message saying you don't have a duplexer. If you click ok, it will print on both sides. This gets very annoying if you print frequently.

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this printer to anybody that needs a good multifunction printer.

Rating + 5


Pros: Price (bought it on sale and with coupon code), 6 inks, wireless, duplex, adf, ease of set up

Cons: If you update to the newest driver in Vista, you will get error saying the duplexer is not installed, just hit ok and the duplexer still works.

Other Thoughts: Set it up entirely wirelessly. Network it set up where the SSID is not broadcasted, wep password, and the mac address has to be on my allow list. mac address on the printer is found in one of the menus on the front panel. Set up was easy and printer worked with no problem. It is connected to 2 vista machines and 2 macs, all features work on all computers.

Rating + 5 Great wireless printer


Pros: Fast install using HP's online download of basic driver, et cetera, and avoiding the full software install. Within an hour it was out of the box and printing its second test picture. Fast and quiet, too. And a great deal from Newegg and fast delivery. Couldn't ask for more.

Cons: None that I can see as of yet. Hopefully never.
