I Needed a new printer for general photo AND document use to replace older HP deskjet 900 series printer. Used several sources (magazines, personal,internet, store, etc.) as research and considered other brands, even considered getting a photo-only printer. Downside with most photoprinters is that you are limited to 4x6 inch prints only, nothing else. HP ink cartridges also cost more, but they have in recent productions narrowed this cost gap with such printers as their photosmart 7000 series as read in a consumer magazine. Generally, the top three printer makers (Canon, HP, and Epson) make some excellent printers. Various factors influence choice, for example, ink costs, speed, text and photo quality, features, size, style, etc. I considered the new canon pixma printers, but they were HUGE. In summary I chose this printer because it uses HP's new Vivera inks (which are supposed to be an improvement from the last generation of inks), it's dimensions were medium size (shorter in height than most in its class), it is Wi-fi ready, and styling was new--its actually a very new model. Conlusion: It was a bit challenging as an average level computer user to set up the wi-fi conncection (as expected with wi-fi issues), but once set up, it works great as a wi-fi network printer. Texts prints were sharp. Photo prints were satisfactory, almost like lab quality (very impressive for a deskjet series printer) and it is quieter than my older printer in operation. The only downside I have for now is that there are only two slots for ink cartridges. HP has come out with a new photo gray ink (#100)for grayscale and enhanced black and white photos, but I would have to switch it with the regular black (#94 or #96) ink cartridge IF I decided to use it (although using the regular black ink will do for most users). To add some confusion, another new ink (#99) can be used for better photo prints (enables 6 ink printing) as an option over HP's regular black ink. There are no card slots but it is picture bridge enabled. I almost forgot to mention how great the included HP photo software is to use. Again, it is for an average user, and features red-eye reduction and other quick fix-it tools for those who don't want to spend more than a minute to edit photo prints.

Review 2Header: DISABLE YOUR VIRUS PROTECTION FIRST
Reviewed By: Jim Bowie
Date Reviewed: November 24, 2005
The quick start guide should put this as item number 1. It is mentioned in the trouble shooting guide though. DISABLE YOUR VIRUS PROTECTION AND YOUR WINDOWS FIRE WALL!!! If you do this before you start the install program will perform an amazing job of installing the wireless connection. Far and above the easiest wireless component install I have ever encoutered.
Make sure that you make a wired connection to your hub, router or access point as instructed in the quick start.
Reception on this device is very, very good, even better than the one on my wireless network card installed in my computer.
Printing is sharp and clear, crisp and almost laser like in apperance.
If you do run into problems with the install program be sure to hit the reset button on your router, hub or access point before trying again. Also, it helps to reboot the computer, but make sure the wireless connection is working before you continue with the install...
