I have had one of these for 5 months and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting a good all-rounder. I use mine for my own graphic design business and it's had plenty of use for printing, scanning and copying and it's not failed yet. I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of print on all different kinds of paper stocks and the scanner is pretty good too. DVD/CD prints are generally very good if you want that feature too.
There are so many plusses it would seem churlish to mention areas where it could be improved but they are quite small and probably only apply to graphic designers with Apple Macs. The only issues I have found so far was that the free DVD/CD printing software that came in the box is PC-only but you can use the Mac-based HP software to get around this. The only other issue is the speed of print with large dimension files (the number crunching required to squeeze down to print on A4 presumably?).
But I promise you that they are the only things I have found mildly dissatisfying, for everything else this printer performs very well indeed.
It does exactly what it says on the box and I would recommend it strongly to anyone who wants a printer that has more than just the basic features.
