+ A good size if you want a printer that's not going to take up much room. It's easy to use and you can usually find good value ink cartridges for it.

- It does use up ink quite fast.

- Printer uses ink at enormous rates. Printer ink is really expensive. I've just discovered how to use economy/fast printing however and hope to be able to reduce cost of ink somewhat.

+ Small and neat, very easy to set up, even for a non techno brain like me. Easy to attach to my laptop and very good value for money. Ink cartridges not too bad to buy if you shop around.

- The only complaint I have, is not having found a way to print on draft to save on ink for the printing I do and the lack of a button to stop a printing error on the machine.(I do have one on my HP in the office). It does bring up a note on screen but by the time you click on it and it responds, you have finished printing anyway.

- too many messages from HP come up on the computer - if the printer is unplugged, if the lid is open...etc - this can be annoying. It also takes a while to set itself up when you first plug it in and sent a doc to print - the actual printing time is quick, but the 'warm up' time is slow.
