For the PRICE, it's the best there is!

With all its features for such a low cost, and the great quality of the product, if you can handle the *noise* it makes, you WON'T be disappointed! Updated on May 7, 2009

VERY* INEXPENSIVE - and it does ALL THAT??!!! Easy to set up. Nice design/good quality. User-friendly. Excellent clarity

VERY NOISY! I knew this before i bought it, but followed others' advice and decided it'd be worth it - IT IS! (the noise is "normal" for this product - per every review i've read)

Great Printer & Scanner

Great printer/scanner for any price, but at $65 or less, you can't beat it.

The software is simple, and doesn't take over your computer the way that HP software does. Scanner is fast and easy, and the printer puts out very good copies. "Light" setting is useful for basic printing while not using too much ink

This is not much of a con, but the printer heads take a few seconds to line up before printing starts. Once the print begins, it's quite fast

Reliable. Lasted 3 Years.

I bought this printer almost three years ago, and it just died this week. For three years, it was reliable and gave no trouble. You will get low ink warnings very quickly, but the ink will last for dozens--if not hundreds--more pages. The scanning bed...
