Jez, Brackley

+ Gives whole family access to the printer from anywhere in the house. Brings office network convenience to the home

- The software is huge and it was a pig to install on a laptop and elderly PC running Windows XP. Ended up downloading drivers from the HP website instead of the supplied CD. Not a 'plug and play' solution! Installation onto a Vista laptop was much more straightforward.

- I use it wireless and have needed to turn it on and off almost every time I print to get it right, scan will only work if I use my computer to begin the process and the setings are defaulted to the US paper size not A4 so you have to reset the properties. It has generally slow print and scanning functionality - it might be because I am using it wirelessly but my last HP was wireless and it worked just fine.I would buy another hp but not this one.

+ Smart compact machine. Not used enough yet to form a proper opinion on print quality and ink usage.

- Probably a little tricky for a basic pc user to set up on a wireless network.

Yvonne, Gloucester , “techno-addict, amateur photographer”

+ good photo printing, handy and compact

- not too fast, but what is worse, it uses the ink like never satiated alcoholic! I had to replace the containers after a weekend of test printing.

+ Print quality, speed etc. excellent (off-line).

- Have not been able to get printer to work wireless due to some sort of incompatability; did not appear to be a USB cable included although there should have been according to the box contents. I had to sort out the wireless broadband problems and borrow a USB cable before trying to format the printer to my laptop.
