Digital camera reviews of HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-one Printer (Q8418A#ABA)

Digital camera Review: A Just Fine Printer
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this printer for college, and used it in my dorm and over the summer at home.
The printer is an all-in-one, meaning it prints, scans, and copies. It does NOT fax. I thought this was pretty clear when I bought this item, but the device does not fax, as some people seem to think. It does pretty much everything else though.

-Printing (A-/B+): It prints pretty well, with decent quality.
-Copying (A-): Copies are decent quality as well, and happen with relative ease. If you need intensive copying, I would recommend a printer with a document feeder instead of this one. HP produces some great alternatives in that case. Note that copying really is copying as opposed to a scan and print that needs a computer on. You can copy even with your computer disconnected.
-Scanning (D): Scanning at first worked great with no problems, but now it just won't work right. Whenever I try to scan from my printer to my computer, it gives me an error message and suggests I try scanning from my computer. When I try from my computer, it tells me my computer tells me it cannot communicate with the printer. However, I've been able to scan to a memory card and then connect the memory to my computer to obtain the scanned image. This is, however, not at all preferable to actual instantaneous scanning to my computer. Scan quality is decent.
-Photos (B): I don't need photo printing except for rarely, but it's a great function to have when you need it. Photo quality isn't too bad. The memory card reader is useful and allows you to scroll through pictures and print without even connecting a computer.

-Ease of Installation (A+): Easy, common sense. Connect and install.
-Ease of Use (B-): It's not figure how to do things, but the touch technology implementation is archaic and annoying. You don't actually touch the screen, but the space to the right of it, which makes little sense. Sometimes it can take 2 or 3 menus to do something as simple as copying. The product tries to pass the touch interface off as innovative but it is anything but in the modern day.

Other points:
-It doesn't require substantial start up time.
-Stylish, sleek, unobtrusive.

Recommandation: Buy if you want mainly to print, and the occasional scan and/or copy. I would consider buying this product again, though probably not end up with it.
