+ Compared to my old HP1100, neat, compact, occupys minimum desk space and so much faster.

- Rather noisy. Unsure how to access to release paper jams. One hasn't occurred yet but going on experience on the 1100 found it incredibly difficult to release trapped paper despite removing the print cartridge.
