Does it all well.With document feeder!
Very happy with mine. Tried other brand, but it was terrible.This HP is great so far (few months of use).What is really nice is the document feeder....when you fax multiple sheets, you can do it in one quick call.
Very good all-in-one for average home user!
I bought this printer for use at home. We are average (and environmentally friendly) users who print just a few pages per day and several photographs a month (4x6 and 8x10) since we have a toddler. This machine is used mostly for scanning and printing; and occasionally for fax.
Not Good with a MAC
I thought the actual print quality was very good, but that's not why I bought this unit.I need to be able to scan directly to my word processing program and this machine cannot do that.Despite what it says on the box about OCR capabilities, and ability to work with Mac OS X, it NO LONGER includes the OCR software with the machine.There is a READIRIS software registration form included in the packaging, but according to the HP Tech line they don't offer it any longer.The software would cost an additional $129 online, or $129 plus tax/shipping etc.I returned the machine. ...

HP PhotoSmart C3180 - Excellent!
My Epson Inkjet died and I needed a new printer pronto. Tried HP because unlike Epson, you get a new print head with each cartridge plus the Epson inkjets have a bad history of drying out from infrequent use and completely dying, like mine did.
THE 3RD TIME IS THE CHARM--SO FAR, SO GOOD....
This is my 3rd purchase of an HP All-In-One Printer, Scanner, Copier. I owned the PSC ALL IN ONE 2100 for 3 1/2 years until it coughed and died last month. Then September 18, 2006, bought the F380 HP, it was dead on arrival. Said I would "NEVER" buy another HP. Well, I ended up bringing the F380 back and getting the HP C3180. So far, so good. I have owned this printer since Sept 19, 2006 and it is doing great as yet. Scans flawlessy, prints everything, including pictures perfectly. Printer is quiet and copies quickly! The only things SO FAR that I can say negative about this is that it DRINKS INK! The reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5: 1) Drinks Ink 2) I miss the old software that the previous HP All in Ones came with, the newer photo software is bare bones at best. Bought MS Picture It as it has more features. 3) Have only owned this about 3 weeks. I plan to do an update on this should it "DIE" on me...Till then...

After 2 years of use, its STILL a 5 star printer
I've had my i9900 for almost two years now.I've printed everything from 4x6 glossy prints to 13x19 fine art prints on matte paper.The short review:This printer is amazing.Read on for a longer review.
Great if you only want it for a year
I bought this printer and it was great for a year. The photo printing quality was excellent. It was fast etc. Then it died, Canon service misdiagnosed the burnt board as a power supply issue first then wanted $300 for the repair. Others have reported the same here and elsewhere. Buyer beware on this one.

Absolutely great printer
This is an amazing printer.It is very easy to set up (takes about 10 minutes) and performs almost instantly.I have a mac and I'm always skeptical about adding new printer drivers, but this worked out easily enough.I'm sure it does work, but the firewire connection on my computer didn't read the printer.However, it worked like a charm when I plugged in the USB cable.

Simply Excellent
The Good:
TERRIBLE RELIABILITY
Even though I have used my printer (a Pixma 5000) very lightly, it jams regularly on Canon photo paper and then spills ink everywhere. Today it went into "service error 5700" and it doesn't work any more, even after rebooting it five times.
Great Printer & great price

the last great printer still available without "chips" on the ink
If you are one that wants to save lots of money and have a quality printer at the same time, this is the only model left at a reasonable price that allows one to easily swap ink with aftermarket ink. Take that to the bank as you buy this printer as a year from now these will be selling for $150-$200 on ebay.
Quality is good
I am pleased with the Canon Pixma, the only problem I have experienced (I am using it to do edible imaging on cakes) is that the pictures tend to come out a little on the red side, so I have to 'turn down' the redness in the printer box. I don't know if that would be true if I were using traditional photo paper or not. It's a good printer though. I am glad I bought it. All of the people I have done cakes for with it have been satisfied!!

Simple, fine printer.
It is exactly what I expected in that, I wanted a printer with the simplest function and inexpensive.
You get what you pay for...
I bought this printer because I wanted high quality photo printing and I didn't need any of the bells and whistles that come with more expensive printers. It's a Canon, so I figured I could count on the photo quality. I was terribly disappointed though. I generally buy Staples brand photo paper for general photo printing, and it always worked fine with my Epson printer. But my first prints on this printer looked dull and muddy -- like I was looking at the images though a mild but annoying grey/brown haze. So I went out and bought Canon paper instead. The quality was somewhat improved, but still not what I had expected. So yes, I got a printer for under $30, but now to get even passably OK prints, I need to spend a fortune on Canon brand inks and paper. Not much of a bargain.

Great printer, but mine jammed and broke in 2 mos.
Awesome printer, awesome price.I'd give it 5 stars if it didn't jam and become unusable.If no one else had this problem, then maybe it's random and normal.The thing is, this printer was so cheap, it doesn't bother me too much.Oh, and it works great with Mac. ... Read more

An excellent printer, look no further!
I just purchased this printer last night and was stunned at the image quality. Granted, I shoot with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi which produces amazing pictures at 10 megapixels, but this printer lives up to those great shots and prints brilliant pictures. I am surprised at the previous reviewer's comment about not being as good as Costco printing. I've also doneall my printing there and I would say this is as good, if not better than Costco. This could be due to using high quality Canon paper, but looking at some of these shots, I can't honestly imagine them getting any better. I know Canon has a new 9500 printer coming out in the spring that will do up to 13 inch wide paper, but I couldn't wait and going to Costco all the time was getting annoying, as convinient as it really is. I am so glad I spent what I consider to be a very reasonable amount of money (130 dollars) on this printer, now I'll only be going to Costco for the 12x18's. The printer is VERY easy to use. I printed right off the Compact Flash card using the printer's on-board screen and did plenty of cropping and trimming to make the shots perfect and centered. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I was printing perfectly within 15 minutes of opening the box. The screen and menus make it so easy and convinient, I haven't even needed to use the computer to print yet. I would highly recomend this printer to anyone who wants stunning prints up to 8.5x11, you will not be dissapointed, it's truly a top-notch printer!

Red color problem
The photo output of this printer is really quite good except for one GLARING problem - the overwhelming redness of flesh tones.A lot of pictures of the baby are coming out like he's scalded or badly sunburned.This leads to a tremendous waste of paper and ink, not to mention effort in trying to adjust for this problem.Even a call to Canon TS didn't solve anything.Apparently, I'm not the only one with this problem.I would love to return this printer if I could...Too bad I stocked up on a bunch of Canon paper already.Any suggestions for a fix (besides the usual calibration, red tone slider, etc.)?I would love to try the MP series, but this experience has really soured me on Canon printers (I love their digital cameras though - bought 3 within the last year).
CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS!!!!!!!!!!
I love it...The print quality is amazing looking. Im very pleased with the print plus color quality of pictures. If you're buying a printer for the first time i would highly recommend a canon but also this one because you will love it! I have alse compared prints from ordering online from a store to my new Canon PIXMA iP6600D and of course the pictures i have printed at home are even much more better looking, ... Read more

best prints I have ever seen
Easy install, no need to install any overbloated software. Great printouts on glossy and matt photo paper. Read the Manual on solving color managment problems if you use Photoshop CS2 so that what you see on the monitor is what you get. If you use Photoshop Elements it has a setting just for the epson R1800. Prints beautifull lables on TDK matt white DVD's with the included software. you can use nero's label making software but you must set the paper type to (epson stylus photo R800 A4) so that it is centered on the disk. All in all the best wide format photo printer I have seen .

Mac Users Beware!
This printer does not print tiled documents from either Indesign or Illustrator. It also is very hard to set the page set up for the printer because the driver written for this printer conflicts with the settings in the print dialog box of the software. I have seen this happen in both Illustrator and Indesign. Very frustrating. I called Epson about this, they told me to call Adobe who told me to call Epson. I'm really sorry I remained loyal to Epson and didn't opt for the Canon.

Amazing printer for photos or art!
I first saw this printer in action when I saw someone turn a digital photo into a digital painting using Corel Painter (seeing the results from that software product, Painter, is what made me start looking at Corel software products for photos) and then printed it out on matte paper. Wow!!! Very impressive! The water color paints were amazing and the colors printed out were so vibrant and realistic, that I had to get this Epson Photo R1800 printer.

Even though I have used my printer (a Pixma 5000) very lightly, it jams regularly on Canon photo paper and then spills ink everywhere. Today it went into "service error 5700" and it doesn't work any more, even after rebooting it five times.
Why did I wait so long?
I am a very loyal consumer and will generally stay with the specific brands I buy. This was true with Epson printers that I have purchased for many years. Common sense finally took hold after the last tank change and subsequent 6 head cleanings before a good print could be made, not to mention almost 1/4 of the tank depleted. (at least by their monitoring system) Tired of wasted ink and paper, nozzle cleans, tank changes for 1 low color, etc., I decieded to make the change to Canon and purchased the ip6700D. Setup on my Intel driven Imac was a breeze! Talk about instant gratification! My very first print came out flawless with better resolution and sharpness than any Epson I have owned. I even had to look to see if it was doing anything during printing, unlike the Epson that was only rivaled by the dishwasher for making noise! Individual print setup was also a snap. The quality, paper and other parameters were simple utilizing the supplied software. I found the "trimming" capabilities were better and easier than some of my high dollar graphic programs I have. I printed out a box (100) of 4" x 6" prints, one after the other and didn't lose 1 sheet from a malfunction of the printer. No head cleaning. no alignments, no getting ready to do a tank change! Nothing but high quality prints. At least the remaining Epson borderless premium glossy paper worked well.
A Fast, Fine Printing Machine
My setup: Dell Dimension 9100, nVidia 6800, Dell 19" ultrasharp flat panel, Photoshop Elements 3, Nikon Coolpix 5700 camera. For the initial setup, I inserted the CompactFlash card from the Nikon into the printer and printed a picture on plain paper. This was to determine the printer worked properly out of the box. The results were fine. The 3.5" display is clear and easy to work with. The printer controls are, for the most part, understandable and easy to use. You could do a lot of printing with this machine without a computer and would need only a minimum of reference to the manual.

Good printer for Linux
My home network has a mix of Windows and Linux PCs. Like some of the other reviewers, I agree that the Windows setup instructions are a bit murky, but I had no problems. Also, the HP Solution Center application is fairly unhelpful, if you need help. One demerit for weak documentation and software.
Great printer
I've had this printer for about 4 months now and it works great.The network setup was easy.I have 4 computers in my home printing to this computer, all are hooked up using a Linksys 54g router.
Great printer but...
the documentation and installation manual should be abandoned immediately.Also, the supplied ethernet cable did not work.It was a combination of the extra plastic gaurding over the clips on each end of the cable, which thoroughly prevented either end from being plugged into either the printer or the router.Also, I was only able to use the third installation option where you have to set up the printer via the ethernet cable.Nowhere does it inform you of the most important step of the installation process.After the WPA information is transferred to the printer, you actually have to remove the ethernet cable from the printer in order for it to connect to the network.You will receive the Network Status: Not Connected, until it's removed.

Great little printer!!
I bought this printer at the bequest of a customer for his home office install.It works great and the Bluetooth option is worth getting!Basically the only difference between the 460C, 460WF and 460WBT is the type of card includes for the Compact Flash slot.WF has a Wireless CF card, and the WBT has a Bluetooth CF Card.If your laptop is bluetooth capable and WBT option is great - no wires and setup literally takes 5 mins.The printer turns on quickly (the self test is only a few seconds) and printing is very fast for an inkjet.Quality is par with other inkjets (not laser quality but very close).I highly recommend this printer for travellers or people who need something with small footprint for small spaces or those who want something light/sleep looking.HP came up with a winner with the 460c. ...

I just bought this at my local store.It prints great pictures...it so easy to set up.Most of the comments below I agree with.I'll leave it to that!!

One of the best gifts I've ever received
I received the printer as a Xmas gift from my mother and brother in 2005. I love love love this photo printer.I was blown away by the print quality when I saw the very first picture that I printed.They look like they were developed in a photo lab. I've printed more than 300 photos and the quality of the print is the same as the very first picture.I love all the features of the printer especially the Disney borders.Since the printer is portable and does not require a PC, I have taken it to special events and printed photos to give to friends and family.Most of them have also been amazed at the quality of the photos.No more photo labs for me.I would highly recommend this printer to anyone and everyone.

Problem with Borders
This printer literally sits on the same shelf as an Epson 3810 and Canon ip6600D.I also have a Epson RX500 somewhere else.So, I'm making direct comparisons here.
Dismal service
Had to return replacement unit as it was clear it was dropped in shipping and would not feed paper. After many hours running tests and sitting on the phone they agreed to send a 2nd replacement.One area of disappointment was that the number to call for a UPS pickup was for a phone service call-girl. I tried to explain this to HP to no avail. All in all I found the experience disappointing.

Poor Reliability
While I agree the photo quality is outstanding with this printer, mine failed after fewer than a dozen uses. The photo tray stopped feeding 4x6 paper, even after spending $25 on an HP paper feed cleaner designed for this model. To make matters worse, the replacement offer from HP is slightly worse than buying a brand-new HP 8250 printer direct from Amazon. On the plus side, HP customer service was extremely patient while I hunted for my misplaced receipt to prove warranty eligibility (which I couldn't). Ouch! UPDATE: The next day I finally located my receipt, but the 1-year warranty had expired by 10 days. HP would not honor the elapsed warranty and charged me the full replacement amount ($99) for another printer. Pretty chintzy. ... Read more

Great quality when it actually prints!!!
I've had this printer for a few months now.I intially installed it using the Ethernet port connected to my router.I was constantly plagued with error messages from it, so I switched to a regular USB connection. The problems didn't go away.Every time I go to print, I can expect to spend ten minutes playing with the paper loader hoping that the printer will recognize that there actually IS paper in it. When it actually does print, the quality is outstanding but it is so unreliable that its hard to pleased with it.

High quality inkjet with built in ethernet!
Just an overall high quality color inkjet printer with built in ethernet!!About time for an affordable built in ethernet solution.Us customers know it only takes a couple of dollars to add an ethernet port, THANKS for finally doing it to a home inkjet printer!

Amazing deskjet
I've been in the computer world for many years.I am a die-hard HP fan but the past few Deskjets have not really had the WOW factor to them.Until this one.I just recently purchased it and it was hooked up in no time on my network, all 5 computers can print to it simultaneously and it doesn't have any problem handling the spooling.

Great Printer
I love the feature for printing CD/DVD's labels....it's not necessary to buy special discs...just put a blank label on your disc and it will printer it perfectly. Colors are beautiful and less costly since you only need to replace the colors as you use them. plus they last really long. Great little machine...............

OK Photo printer but be warned of ink cartridge costs.
This inexpensive printer does a nice job of printing photos and on CDs. My complaint with Epson printers is with their "intelligent" chip embedded ink cartridges that monitor ink usage based on page yeilds rather than true ink volume. In short, this means the cartridge will show the same usage of ink whether you are printing pages and photos in draft mode or in high quality mode. The printer software stops the printer from printing if one of the six color cartridges is percieved as "close to empty". Epson engineered it this way to ensure that the ink doesn't run out and causes a clogged printerhead. The problem is that I'm constantly replacing ink cartridges that still have about 25 percent ink remaining. I know because I have opened the spent cartridges and have measured the remaining ink. Also, you cannot refill the cartridges with after-market ink because the chip in each catridge renders it "empty" even if you refill it. This ink cartridge design has caused a class action suit to be brought against Epson. Do a Google search and you'll find the website. In fairness to Epson I must state this printer does a nice job printing photos and onto CDs which is a nice feature. If ink costs aren't a problem (about $60 for a complete 6 color set) than get this printer. In the meantime, I'm steering clear of future Epson printers until they re-engineer the ink cartridges to reflect the true ink volume usage.

Ideal for basic use
It seems from reading some of the other reviews that this product doesn't stand up to being pushed to the limit.But for your basic home use I've found it reliable, simple to use and a good all-rounder. Having more catridges to replace seems a bit daunting at first but you soon realise this saves you money. The cost of new catridges is a major factor when deciding to buy a printer and Epson's are pretty reasonably priced.
