Excellent - but no Windows 7 support until late Nov '09
(4 out of 5) by R. PARKER on Oct 26, 2009 (London, UK.)HP have made a great printer here - I purchased it specifically for it's advertised ability to scan directly to a network share. Frustratingly, it doesn't seem that this can be achieved without first connecting the printer to your computer and using the supplied HP Software, which doesn't run on Windows 7. HP's website says that you'll have to wait until "late November 2009" before they've released the full driver and software package.
That said, however, if it's basic printing and scanning you want, Windows 7 will support it using its own in-built drivers and the "Windows Fax and Scan" software.
My advice to you would be that if you really want this printer and are using Windows 7, wait a little longer for the software to be released to get the best experience possible.
The printer is well constructed (if a little plasticy), and a clearly laid out control panel. The multi-function display is simple to use and communicates useful information. The automatic document feeder is a nice touch, too - and seems to work well so far.
