Customer Review: Great printer

I chose this printer last year and have not regretted it. It's very very user friendly, has great printing quality and some nice features to show off about. HP ink is always a bit expensive but the customer service cannot be beat so if anything goes wrong, you are in good hands. This printer is most suited to the casual user because in certain modes it can suck a lot of that expensive ink. All in all, a pretty good buy especially if you can get it for less than $100.00.

Customer Review: HP F4180 ALL IN ONE

I liked this product when I first got it (about 6 months ago). 2 months after I got it we were making copies and the scanner got stuck all the way to the right. It finally went back to moving and now its happened again. I can't scan anything or make copies. That was the whole reason I had purchased this printer.

Customer Review: A good little printer, for the price

We bought this printer because we wanted an HP printer to go with our HP computer. Also, we wanted a printer that could print on DVD-R's and CD-R's. The printer functions well. The only issue I have with it is that it does not print photographs to the same quality as my Dad's more expensive Epson all-in-one. I'm sure the price difference has a lot to do with that. For the price, this is an excellent computer. We've had ours for over a year and have never had any issues with it.

Customer Review: Can't go wrong with this one

I bought this printer to replace my old printer and scanner, deciding to just combine the two. Installation was fairly painless. The software guided you through the process well, but I ultimately uninstalled the standard software and installed the basic drivers to save on resources (the full drivers add a lot of bloatware). Everything works exactly is it should. The cd/dvd printing tray is a nice touch, much better results than using a lightscribe disc. My only complaint with it is that you need to use the customized version of Roxio express labeler (it will not work with the version for the full Roxio suite). The color prints are very vibrant and detailed for an inkjet, and text comes out very nicely also. Where this printer shines though is when the computer's off. The copier functions are very nice: black prints and color are set to their own separate buttons, resizing and cropping is fairly straightforward, and the included card ready plus the LCD screen make printing directly from a camera's memory card extremely easy, almost making a computer unneccesary.



Pros:



Simple installation

CD/DVD printing tray

Straightforward interface

LCD screen

Memory card reader

Great ink

Vibrant prints & clear text



Cons:



Bloated full drivers

CD/DVD will only work with one program



As you can see, there isn't really any problems with this unit, the two problems I have are minor. If they don't bother you, than this is a great all-in-one for the price. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Customer Review: Worked great for 5 months - then died!

This scanner worked perfectly for the first 5 months. I probably scanned 3000 pages of stuff. Then all of a sudden I could not "initialize scanner". I use it with my MacBook Pro. The scanner shows up in my "About This Mac", just not in the HP software anymore. After navigating HP's voicemail jail for almost an hour, I gave up. Its almost like they want to prevent you from speaking with a real support person! I am ordering the Fujitsu Snapscan. It comes very highly recommended.

Customer Review: Scanner is completely unreliable

This was a big disappointment to us. We've always insisted on HP printers in my company, and thought that their scanners would match the printers quality, but that hasn't been the case for us. This scanner is used on a daily basis for numerous small multipage jobs. It randomly stops communicating with the computer it is connected to, requiring IT support to visit on an almost daily basis. It is far too unreliable for us to continue using it. We are in the process of replacing it with another brand.

Customer Review: HP ALL IN ONE PRINTER


WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE SERVICE FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCE STINKS, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVE THIS PRODUCT AND THIS HAPPENS TO BE THE 3RD TIME I TRIED TO BUY SUCH A PRODUCT. EACH TIME I TRIED TO BUY FROM A SELLER SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED AND EITHER THE PRODUCT WAS DAMAGED BEFORE SHIPPING OR IT WAS SHIPPED AND NEVER RECEIVED. I TRIED HAVING IT SHIPPED TO MY P.O. BOX AND MY PHYSICAL ADDRESS AND TO THIS DATE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED MY PURCHASE. TO THIS TELLS ME THAT THE SELLERS ARE NOT QUALIFIED IN SELLING THEIR PRODUCT. SO IN THIS REVIEW I WOULD GIVE IT A ZERO IN RATING AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING AGAIN FROM AMAZON WHO HAS A SELLER.

Customer Review: HP All-in-one Printer

Excellent copies and photographs. Clear, clean copies. Quick. However, unit kept saying it had a paper jam, and proceded to clank and clatter. Merely lift the lid and the clanking and clatter stopped. The imaginary paper jam was cleared. We gave this unit away and purchased another HP printer.
