Review: Very good all-in-one printer - I have had this item for a few weeks now, and i have to say i am more than impressed. Product was delivered on time, and in perfect condition. The set-up was fairly easy, although i will say that the set-up didnt get along too well with the Panda Antivirus on my PC, and i had to disable some features of the program to complete the instalation successfully. The printer connected to my wireless home network with no problems at all, and has been working fine ever since. Print quality and speed is good, a little better than i was expecting actually. I have also printed a few photo's onto the HP Genuine photo paper, which are great quality! Scanning is easy and decent quality...copying is also easy, the small touch screen makes the printer very easy to use for copying when the PC is not turned on. Its not the quietest printer in the world, but this does not bother me in the slightest, i mean, i dont plan to get 40 winks while im using the damn thing. However if a quiet printer is something you are looking for, then you should probably choose another product. Overall a fantastic product that does all i need it to and for a very good price. Well done HP! Review: Printer that actually does what it is suppoosed to - Hi All, I read many reviews of HP latest batch of printers and was massively disappointed by the reviews and the difficulties many were having in getting them setup and the poor print quality. I am happy to say that I have had no such issues (touch wood) the printer has installed and run without an issue. I do however find it strange that it does not like to be connected to the network by wire and wireless at the same time. I too remain disappointed at the price of HP ink cartridges, there simply cannot be a justification for such high prices when colour printing is very much the norm these days. I believe there needs to be a revolution in ink pricing. Manufacturers by all means charge a premium for Photo-quality, but for everyday colour printing we need a better solution or you will drive us to aftermarket cartridges, especially as printers are increasingly seen as disposable after 2 years and you do not provide extended warranty cover. In summary good printer, OK footprint, even photo quality printing is good, its relatively fast and so far I am still running on the cartridges that came in the box...

Temperamental and unreliable
I bought this printer in October 2010. Setting up initially was easy; and it worked fine for about two weeks. Then the trouble started with various problems; first it suddenly failed to recognise the wireless link to the computer that had worked fine initially; then when - after a THREE HOUR phone call to the HP help desk, wiping all traces of it off the computer and reinstalling several times - this was sorted, the printer worked for another couple of weeks; then the scan function suddenly gave up. Another two days lost making calls to the HP help desk; which resulted in HP replacing the printer. The problems, unfortunately, did not stop there. The same issues came back with annoying regularity; wifi connection not working; scanner not working; reinstalled using a cable; then the cable not working; then the wifi again... All in all it seems that this printer will not work faultlessly for more than a few weeks at a time. If it isn't used too much. And as long as you don't replace the cartridges as that somehow means having to reinstall the drivers yet again. At the moment the printer display and printed test results say that the wifi connection is on and working correctly; but none of the 4 computers (2 Macs; 2 PCs) on my home network are able to connect to it. And as if it is doing it deliberately to annoy me; it gave up just after I'd ordered 5 new cartridges for it! As it is now just over a year old, HP don't want to know and I am relegated to their support Forums instead of being able to speak with an actual human being so it takes even longer to sort out problems. I've been unable to print anything for weeks now as I've tried all the things that previously worked and nothing works this time. This has cost me more in wasted time trying to fix it than buying a new printer would have cost me - so much for trying not to be wasteful and to repair rather than replace!

Great features, superb quality
I've just received my printer today. This was the second as the first had a smashed scanner glass when it was delivered but as usual Amazon have replaced it very quickly (only my second faulty item in a lot of years). This scanner is amazingly value at this price. You get a high quality printer, scanner and wireless functionality (make sure your operating system and computer support it if you want to use this element). Installation was easy with the supplied software, I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate. This is my first ever review on Amazon and I'm simply doing it as I felt (the current) 3 star rating did not do this printer any justice. Printing is straightforward and perfectly good for prints on to the sample 10cm x 15cm sample paper, so good I've just order some more see - HP Premium Plus High-Gloss Photo Paper, Bright White, 100 x 150 mm, 280 g/m2, 100 Sheets The LCD screen is small but perfectly usable and very clear and a great feature on such a good value printer. The card slots will be useful for my wife as she will be able to print off images without having to touch any PC software :)

It does the job but....
Printing is of decent quality but if one of the ink cartridges is low or empty you can't use the scanning facility until it has been replaced....which has been a right pain!!!! You also do not have the option to print in black if the color cartridge is empty.

Cheap to buy, expensive to run
The best thing about this product is the scanner. The printer works well with new ink cartridges but quickly loses quality. New HP cartridges are expensive and don't last long before the printer starts complaining that they're empty and refuses to print. Generic cartridges are cheaper but poor quality and last even less time than the originals. Conclusion: Avoid

hp photosmart c4780 wireles printer.
all i can say is that this is the best home printer i have had the plasure of owning. it is fast and reliable printer that dose print very good & copies perfectley. and i cant beleave just how good the photos come out, even a low res picture came out better than a shop could of done it. but make sure you use hp photo paper for best results as others just dont cut it as well. if you do bye this product you wont be disopointed i know im not. infact i would defenatley recomend this printer as it dose everything it is surposed to perfectley and with ease plus its wireless so no messy wires.and seting up the wireles conection was so simple & im no computer buff i can tell you. the price of this printer was the best bit,i got it on sale on amazon so i got a realy good printer at an even cheaper pice than the low price it is anyway. so in a nutshell im realy happy with the printer and you will be to. so dont wast any more of your time bye this printer now beffor they are all gone.

Not too bad
All in all, not a bad buy, especially at Amazons superb price, which is considerably good value against the usual competitors. Easy to set up initially, but software is not as good as the two previous models I used, before they eventually gave up the ghost. Annoyingly the paper defaults let this printer down, as it seems to go to "letter" in most cases and I wonder if anyone really uses this a lot nowadays? The printer is easy to use and I admit I am just getting used to some of its features as they are different to previous models. It will be interesting to see how ink supplies last as I have used the small ones(as per in the box) initially and have bought the XL ones as replacements, but time will tell. I suspect for everday printing, most people would have no problems with it.
