Header: Perfect network printer for Linux & Windows home users

I'm just not sure what is up with the bad reviews. I don't seem to be seeing these issues. I bought this after much research. You see I primarily use Ubuntu Linux and I needed a wireless network printer that I could setup without the need of Windows or Mac. All you need is a web browser (so you could use wii or iphone if you really wanted). I'm coming from a terrible experience over the years of fighting with a linksys wps54g printer server hooked up to my old Deskjet 932c (it has not been fun).
Way to go HP! You don't need any specific OS with this printer! You just plug it in via ethernet and if you press the "report" button it will print out it's ip (though I just cheated and went to the router DHCP tables). You can then access the web interface of the printer and setup everything. A dream come true, don't have use any wizards or anything. Everything is nicely laid out. Works great on my 802.11g network with WPA2 encryption.
As for printing. Drivers are already in Linux for it (HP 6980). The printing is better then my previous Deskjet 932c. I'm not looking for anything super professional, for me I mainly print out road maps and recipes. But running it through some color test prints it has done pretty awsome.
As for the sticker that leave the residue. I used a damp rag and added some Comet. Make sure to rub the Comet into the cloth so it's not griddy. The wipe off the residue. Clean and beautiful.
Overall it's an awesome buy for the low price. The integrated wireless print server is easy to setup. Also the printer has UPNP so my Ubuntu Linux box just saw it and I just set it up. Same goes for Windows Vista, and Mac should also see it in the same way. It's nice having a printer that is not dependent on a PC and can be place anywhere in the house. I give this printer a thumbs up.

Header: HP Sticker left ugly residue on the printer
Reviewed By: Bettina Schneider
Date Reviewed: October 23, 2007
When I got my printer, there was a large sticker on it from HP, when I tried to remove it, it left ugly glue stains behind. I first tried to rub it off by hand, which did not work. Then I tried soapy water, nail polish remover, and finally Go-off. The Go-off seemed to work at first, but then, it took of the glossy surface of the plastic, and now I have that ugly, ruined surface. I was upset, because they should test those stickers, before they put them there, or at least give instructions of how to get them off......
