Best Printer I have ever Owned 
2007-04-08
Too bad they don't make them like this anymore
Not bad for light home use 
2007-03-22
HP classifies this as a home/small business all in one. It is decent at doing most light jobs. It scans nicely and the quality of the color/black and white output is commendable.
A great feature is the menory ports. Simply insert memory card, memory stick, or whatever and it works (at least with my Mac).
It also has a USB port on the front which is nice to hookup addition USB devices to it.
The problem I have is that for heavier jobs it doens't cut it. Faxing long documents is tedious. You have to manually put each single page on the flat bed, push a button, wait for it to scan, and so on. And if you have a small business like I do, that is out of the question.
Also, as someone previously said, paper handling is a major concern. It is not a printer you can set to print a 30 page document and then walk away from. It is prone to either grabbing 5 sheets at once, or jamming alltogether.
If you are going to use this for home use. Printing occasional documents or photos, scanning photos or documents, great.
But if you plan to use this for heavier business apps, I would go for a more rubust All In One.
For an all in one this is a good machine 2007-02-24
It gets the job done. For day to day use it's fast and out prints many others I know of and is one of the fastest ink jets I have seen especially for text. It has convenient feature too with the built in card readers and such.
The scan quality leaves a little to be desired sometimes but for most stuff it is more than good enough.
I recommend this to anyone looking for an in home bang for their buck all in one.
Problems 
2007-02-06
I have no complaints about the print quality, speed or software. My main complaint is that the paper will not feed properly. I think it's problem may be in the inherent technological deficiency in "sniffer" paper feeders, which this one is. I have an old Epson Stylus which is a "feeder" type tray with the paper in the back rather than under the printer and it works like a charm. I have tried less paper, more paper in the tray. I have tried adjusting the guides and the paper in tiny steps a hundred different ways and the printer still will not feed the paper properly. I have to babysit every print job, feeding individual sheets into the printer. If it is allowed more than one page in the tray it will invariably pull in three sheets then give me a paper jam error message. Overall it's printing performance has been good and the ink cartridges last a long time. But I would not recommend this printer.

Don't buy this printer. I have Photosmart 2610. I can use printer, copy and fax, but I can not use scanner. It worked at the beginning, but its start having some problems. I made multiple call and all I heard was we have no record of this issue occurring before. HP knows this issues but HP support have not come up with a solution. This is not happening only to me, there are many others. You can Google and find at forum about HP printer problems. People are getting same response or suggestions from HP support.
Don't buy this printer. I am stuck with this printer/fax/copy machine. No Scanner.
One of the best purchases I ever made. 2008-06-13
I've had this all-in-one for over three years now and still think it's one of the best purchases I ever made. I love it. I use every feature on it (print/scan/copy/fax).
I have never had a problem installing the software that came with it and now have the unit hooked up on a router which is hardwired to a desktop and laptop and wireless to a second laptop. Works like a dream.
I would have no hesitation recommending this unit to someone else and will certainly be buying another HP all-in-one when the time comes (although this one is still going strong).
HP SOFTWARE IS AWEFUL 2008-05-07
HP Software is the worst I have ever dealt with. I will never buy another HP product, nor should you.
I've uninstalled and re-installed this printer so many times. I'm 2 more installs from throwing it out the window.
Worst purchase I ever made 2008-04-09
The print quality is great - the software from HP is...is...is.. I can't even think of the right word. I have to reinstall the software every other month. Sometimes it prints sometimes it doesn't. It constantly errors for some reason or another. I find myself on the HP troubleshooting section more than I check my e-mail. I would recommend a pass on this printer. Unless you like troubleshooting.
Don't buy this printer 2007-08-27
As other reviewers have noted, the print quality is good, but the reliability is very poor. It took forever to install the software successfully, was very difficult to get network printing working. Now that it is about 3 years old, it requires frequent resets and the scanner has recently failed. I won't buy another HP.
Good printer for light use. Poor tech support. 2007-05-03
Very good quality prints. Ink cartridges can be quite costly so best for low volume use. The fax function requires that you scan the pages one at a time which would be time consuming if you need to fax more than a few pages. My biggest complaint is that when I had a minor problem with the printer and I called customer service, I was told that since my warranty was expired, they would charge me $60-$80 JUST TALK TO TECH SUPPORT! Then they suggested that I might as well just buy a new printer from them for $99!!! I'm not sure how that was supposed to help me send the fax that I needed to transmit that day! Meanwhile, I managed to fix the problem just by turning it off and on again. Sheehhh!
