Score 5.0/10+ The output quality is good and speed is fine once printing. It will do what I require. The installation instructions were easy to follow.
- Has to be switched on manually prior to printing (command to print (MS software) resulted in pervious HP photosmart printer switching on), noisy when switched on (as it goes through self check) and there is a significant delay before it is ready to print following switch on. I would not recommend it to anyone else.

fast and has invidual inks, so replacing them is easier and cheaper

Score 8.0/10+ Speed and end results are very good. Easy to read controls
-
1. paper trays are clumsy but workable. Most annoying feature is the necessity to remove paper from the main tray to enter envelopes.
2. The paper trays, extending from the front of the printer for loading require a lot of space and are too close to the desk surface. Everything in front has to be cleared to allow for the operation.

Score 9.0/10+ comprehensive instructions, easy to install and use. Meets the HP claims on printing, colour reproduction and clarity, scanning and copying. Pleasing to the eye with clear push button controls.
- Not as fast as the the manufacturer claims, but nevertheless this all in one product suits my purpose.
