Electronics : HP C7280 Photosmart All-in-One Printer (CC567A#ABA)

Rating: - Fatal Error During Installation
Would be a nice printer if you could get the software to install in your computer. Have been at it for days trying to get the printer software installed in my computer. Ended up taking the computer and printer into a computer repair shop and still am having problems with it wanting to print the entire document that I send to the printer. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRINTER. I hear Canons are good.......

Rating: - Very good machine
I have had the printer for about 6 weeks. I was hesitant to buy it because of the negative comments, but then every other printer has comments from people unhappy with the product. I got a great deal on the HP C7250 for less than $200, which is the same as the C7280 sold elsewhere. Can't beat the price.

The printer is smaller than my previous HP T45, which is pretty amazing. You get a lot of machine with a relatively small footprint. The printer was very easy to set up right out of the box. I was waiting for software install problems that people have written about. There were none. The software installed with no problem in a reasonably short amount of time. Had I known about installing the latest drivers and updates directly from the HP website I would have done that.

I have used all the functions except for two side printed, and wifi. Everything works fine. The photo print quality is more than adequate. If I wanted professional high quality photo prints I would probably take them to a professional. The scanner amazed me. I scanned in some sheet music. I had heard that most scanners have trouble reading musical notes. This scanner did a perfect job to both pdf and Word documents.

The only negative to this point is the printer is very noisy, and not only during printing. It does a lot of whirring and clicking and moving its parts just all by itself. It was a little unnerving at first, but now it's not that big of a deal. If you are looking for a very quiet printer this is not it.

Rating: - HP C7280 Review By REG
Purchased this product about a month ago and the only problem I am having is setting up the wireless for my laptop. My laptop is a Dell Inspirion and it does not recognize the network connection. Other than that it is a great addition. The cost was a little high because after I purchased this AIO for over $200.00, I saw it at Fry's the following week for about $110.00. This was not a sale price.
I read a lot of the reviews before making my purchase and I must say the ones recommending that you download the software rather than installing it from the disk was right on time. Photosmart C7280 All-in-One

Rating: - Awesome Printer
This is my first Printer/Scanner/Fax. I am very impressed with the ease with which I was able to set it up. I had no problems. The software has been very easy to use. I have used it to scan documents and pictures so far. Everything has been simple and the quality has been great. I have printed out a few pictures and they actually looked better than the pics that came from the "professional" printers. Overall, I am impressed with what this printer can do. I haven't started to run out of ink as quickly as I thought either...

Regards,

Kevin

Rating: - Ordered but not delivered
It has now been eleven days since I ordered the printer, at the special price of $167, but still have no delivery date, with Amazon claiming "none in stock". However, Amazon has plenty for sale at $250. They say I can delete my order at any time!!!! I shall refrain from any future orders until this is resolved. If I ever get a printer, I'll gladly comment on it.
