This Time, It's Slick Success. Maybe Next Time, It'll be Protocol Prime.
»
I can't think of how I could be more pleased with my HP Deskjet J4580. When I bought mine (10/7/08), Amazon was offering it at an awesome special price (with one of those "click to see price" links) with Super Saver Shipping... Even on the SSS the printer was delivered only 3 days after I ordered it (10/10/08)!
When I clicked to see the price markdown, I was so flabbergasted my first thought was that maybe the low price was because this printer is not "wired" for wireless, and and/or because it didn't come with the USB cable included (a packing lack which quite a few buyers noted not being pleased with). I decided I didn't need a wireless printer anyway, thinking I might have trouble with installation since I know nothing about wireless protocol (I barely know the word protocol).
(I did buy a wireless mouse and love it! Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate)
It appears my instincts were right, at least for me, because I just read some of the reviews for another HP printer, a model number up from mine (J6480 instead of J4580), and it sounds like quite a few people have had trouble getting the drivers to work with wireless protocol. And most of these reviewers were tech savvy ethers beyond me, a person who always thought protocol arrived into reality with my beloved nephew Lonnie, an ex marine who described what protocol means in that branch of the military. They know how to apply that word to its Nth degree. As a clumsy dyslectic, I admire anyone who can shine in any branch of the military.
With my J4580, I easily, quickly, and successfully followed the instructions which came in the box, all the while thanking the other reviewers of that model who reminded purchasers to buy a separate USB cable. I bought the Belkin Pro Series USB 2.0 Device Cable (USB A/USB B, 10 Feet) which I'm absolutely pleased with, and was again helped by the reviews posted on Amazon's buying page.
Everything on the printer works with a slick ease which has me feeling like a sort of semi-pro myself. This is the first time I've had a simple FAX machine which works either separately from or with my PC. With my previous HP (which I also loved and it still works but I wanted to upgrade for speed, capacity, and general purposes), I had tried repeatedly, unsuccessfully (phone bills to prove it), to use FAX programs within my PC, so this new setup is a joy!
Of course wouldn't you know it that I would wait to get this FAX setup about the time I might consider changing to cell phones only, without a land line, which would make this FAX non functional...
OH! So that's why the wireless FAX capacity is becoming the thing now!
Oh well, by the time I get rid of my land line, if I do, maybe the wireless FAX All-in-One machines will have fixed the driver snarls. And maybe I'll know more about wireless protocol by then... if I'm still alive.
For now, I have just what I want, and am thankful for that link on the buying page from the printer I had been looking at to this one I bought. The link said that a newer model was now available. And that newer model (due to the Amazon special price then) was $40 cheaper and several ways better than the older one!
Even at the current discounts available on this printer, which (at the time of my review post) weren't as good as the discount I got, I would purchase this printer again.
Another similar printer, non-wireless, which I would also consider, is the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (Q8061A#ABA)
I enjoy shopping on Amazon, cruising for those specials offered regularly. That research takes a bit of time, including reading reviews, but I enjoy that type of browsing, so I'm a satisfied customer every-which-way.

It doesn't get any better than this for the price!
»
This terrific little fax/printer/scanner, for less than $90(!), is compact and lightweight--about 8" tall, 16 ½" wide, and (without the paper tray) about 11" deep, taking up relatively little desktop space, an all-in-one machine.
So far it does absolutely everything I've wanted it to do. User friendly and largely self-explanatory, it requires no complicated instruction manual or ramp up time for those of us who are not especially computer savvy. Printing is fast and "enthusiastic"--it spits out copies quickly and with such force that they end up on the floor if you don't have the tray extension pulled out.
For ordinary home use, this machine has been perfect. By setting the printer for "draft" mode, I get much longer use from the (very small) print cartridges, and the quality of the copies is adequate for what I need. For photographs, I would, of course, want higher resolution, but that is an option, too.
This is obviously not the equivalent of the big OfficeJet Pro machines that I've had in the past, but those are expensive, extremely heavy, and take a huge amount of space. I'm flabbergasted that this little machine is so good at one tenth the price of the OfficeJet Pro! Mary Whipple

Attention Apple Mac Owners.....Poor Application Performance
»
I'm running Apple Mac OS X 10.5 on a Mac Pro and the HP Photosmart Studio application that comes bundled with this printer looks good, but kills the computer performance. After spending a week emailing HP tech support and getting nowhere, I finally called and the techs verified my suspicion that the application was scanning my iPhoto library (3.2Gb) in the background automatically at when it's launched. I tried three time to let it run (over night), but it ended in an error all three times. If HP can fix this issue, or at least make it optional (there's no way to control this behavior), they may have a winner, but until then I recommend saving yourself some frustration by doing a custom install and DE-selecting HP Photosmart Studio when you first set this device up. Otherwise the printer seems to work as advertised using the separate HP Device Manager application that allows you to use all the functions of the device.

good all in one, don't install anything but basic drivers
»
I bought this all in one yesterday for a friend and installed and set it up for her. It installed easily and we tested everything and it all worked perfectly. I did not buy it here but found it on sale for 49.99 which I feel is amazing for a printer with the text print quality this has. We did not buy it for photo printing.
From reading reviews on many HP printers here on amazon I learned one great trick. Do not install the complete software program. And for sure do not authorize automatic updating. It always runs in the background and is taking resources from your machine. What I have found and been doing for the last 3 HP printers I have had is going to the website and downloading the drivers, then still doing a custom install to make sure I don't get the auto update which ends the annoying pops and slow loading.
Granted for sure the instructions could be much better for installation, but even just installing the basic drivers you still get the help function. But you do need to follow the instructions on HP printers and scanners to the LETTER to properly install. If not you can get a half install which is very very hard to over come.
I have had HP printers for 10 years and not one has broke or worn out, I always upgrade because of want and not need. Then give the old one to someone that needs a printer.
