HP C8180 All-in-One
BEWARE!! - Whilst I have no doubt that this product produces good quality pictures (the test print was really good), after I installed the printer and rebooted my PC I discovered that my Norton Internet Security (2007) had been disabled! Trying to launch Norton manually just produced an error message that it could not be started. So, somehow, installing the HP C8180 had disabled my internet security software. I had to to rebuild my PC and recover to an earlier backup, which took a long time and much inconvenience. The printer has now been returned and Amazon gave me a full refund within 3 days.

BRILLIANT! FOR TRANSFERRING SLIDES!!!!
I bought this when the price was an amazing £174.99! After reading the reviews I was convinced this was a quality product. I had a lot of slides which was another reason for buying this....well!! how brilliantly they are scanned in. The results are the same quality as the originals.You just slot 4 slides into the adapter on the scanner part and then use the easily to follow touch screen instructions on the printer panel. The images automatically scan into the hp software and then the sky's the limit.I am one real happy bunny!!Especially as I notice the price has gone up by nearly £100!.

A real gadget feast
I have a desktop and two seperate laptops all connected to an Orange Livebox. I had an old but excellent Epson R300 printer. What I wanted was a printer that I could use from all my devices which also printed high quality photos as my R300 did.

I was not dissapointed. The printer does what it says. I paired it with my Livebox and then installed the software on all 3 pc's. It connects every time like a dream and prints out from all. The quality for photos is also as good as I wanted (as long as you use the recommended paper). What I also like is the ability to bluetooth straight to the device from your phone and as I have a decent 5 mega pixel camera phone this is very handy.

Great but watch the paper handling
I work in a store where I get to set up and use printers daily. The 8180 is on constant power so customers can use it themselves and see how easy it is to use. All the HP's are easier to use than the other manufacturers.

The Ink systen is good but has small capacity. The inks you can buy seperately or in triple packs hold more ink than the 6-pack with paper. You can buy a ink supply system from CISS but this should be done with great caution as it will denegrade the printer head and not produce as good pictures.

The burner works well. The lightscribe technology works very well but is slow and if you own a Mac this part will not work as you have to run the Roxio software on your machine, and it doesn't run on a Mac (maybe updates available?)

Wireless easy to set up but some minor problems on older XP PC's where the PC has to be rebooted, but not an extensive problem. Touchscreen works well. Scanner works well but the Negatives are not high quality.

Why not 5 stars? The small niggles I have mentioned would not stop me giving this a 5 star rating, but the paper handling does! HP have recurrent problem with paper handling, that affects some printers in the 363 inks range. Basically it stops picking up the paper if you treat them too rough, and so far HP have failed to cure this problem.

I'm Very HP!
This printer is the bizzo! Has the feel of a quality item the moment you open the box, everything about it spells QUALITY.

Easy to set up following the delightful touch screen instructions offering connection by ethernet cable, USB or wireless the choice is yours. Initial printing results are superb.

The item was delivered within a couple of days (FREE!) to me in the Scottish Highlands. As Frank Bruno used to say on the sauce adverts....I am very HP! (happy).
