HP C7280 Photosmart All-in-One Printer (CC567A#ABA)

This printer is junk. Do not buy it. A nightmare to set up if you want to take advantage of its wireless feature. Mine broke down after 6 mos--ink system failure. Well-intentioned but unintelligible support sent a replacement which never even made it through initial set-up (carriage jam). I would return it if I could. NUMEROUS and lengthy calls to HP--also a NIGHTMARE!

Does it all well... it seems HP just has printing down. Prints pictures, documents, copies, scans, fax. Whatever you would need, easily from one machine. We used to make copies by scanning them and then printing. Having a machine that can make "photo copies" is so much easier. No need to "accept" scanned image, or possibly edit the scanner setting to get the image to copy correctly.

In our place, wireless (WiFi) printing is a necessity. (Printer is too far away from router to connect there). And it's fairly simple to set up. I just wish that when you're setting it up to work with your 128 bit WEP security, you could set it with a passphrase instead of having to enter 26 keys. That can be a bit of challenge. You can easily forget to type a key, and going back to find what you missed is a bit of a pain.Now granted, I could have done it with a flash key... anyway, it's worth the trouble to set it up. And if you ARE connecting directly to your computer with a USB cable, that won't be an issue for you.

So go ahead and buy it, you know you want to!

I've had the HP C7280 all-in-one for less than six months. I use it at home so it gets very little use, mostly colored text printouts. I have had nothing but frustration with this equipment due to HP hardware problem. It will lock up in the middle of print job and refuse to print or not print at all and I have to go through entire setup routine which may or maynot clear the error message. After contacting HP several times they are now replacing the unit with a "recycled" or refurbished unit and only warranting it for the remainder of the time left on my original unit. I bought it new but they only replace with a used one. Don't think I will be buying their product again.

This printer delivers in all of it's capabilities. Good scanner. Good color printer. Good faxing and faxing software. The Viera inks make printed photos look fairly professional.

I use to not be fond of all-in-one devices, but this one has changed my mind. At these prices you could have a back-up device in case the main all-in-one broke.

This printer does not work properly as a scanner or print at all with a router or wirelessly. HP hasn't a clue how to fix it. Their service people will send you on a wild goose chase with no fix that works. Even the software updates they have put out fail. The software simply does not function and any claim they make is false advertising. Stay far far away from this piece of junk.
