HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One

 

A versatile wireless printer that produces great-looking photos and can adequately handle scanning and copying.

Excellent photo quality ; Refreshingly simple design ; Web page interface for monitoring status remotely

No automatic document feeder or paper output tray ; Can't have USB and wireless modes enabled simultaneously ; Very small LCD

As the As the $129 HP Photosmart C4580 is primarily a photo printer; it performed better in that respect than the similarly priced Canon and Brother devices. However, while it acquitted itself adequately for office tasks such as scanning and copying,...

HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier

 

Perfect for those who don't want to spend a bundle on the printer or the ink, the HP Photosmart C4580 offers high-quality prints without all the extras.

Excellent quality; low total cost of ownership; Wi-Fi; surprisingly good scanning features

Lacks a number of common features, including photo tray; no Ethernet connection, Bluetooth support; confusing setup for those who want to connect via both USB and Wi-Fi; mixed print speeds

Finally, cost of ownership is impressively low. HP estimates the ink cost for a typical page will run about 4.3 cents for black text and 7.3 cents for a mix of color text and color images—assuming you purchase HP’s high-capacity ink cartridges. The...

Skip this printer - Don't even think about it.

Frankly, this printer is ok if you always want to hard-wire connect to it. The wireless ability is flakey at best, and the tech support is ridiculous. A shame really...

HP packed with features for a small price

 

HP packed with features for a small price

I purchased this new, but in an open box missing the initial ink cartridge, USB cable, and manual. I picked it because it has built-in wireless capabilities and because the ink cartridges were less expensive than those of other brands. A TIP: always...

This printer is truly shocking in how consistely bad it is

I think the only thing worse than having this printer would be not having a printer at all. Though, at least in that case, I wouldn't be under the delusion that I could print things. But to be serious, I bought this printer because my roommate has...

I have had nothing but troubles with my 4580 printer/scanner/copier. I would not recommend this piece of equipment to anyone. The wireless printing is incredibly slow and I constantly encounter paper jams even while using the recommended HP inkjet...

I'm very happy with my new printer

The price cann't be beat. Matter fact I purchased 2 printers. Cause I had 6 new back up cartridges, & no boxes. So I can't return them. I called HP & none of there new printers took this size. Just in case in the futher I needed to replace this printer...

Don't buy it

For some reason HP thinks that this printer needs 14 separate applications (on MacOS X) to function. The scanner never worked, despite a firmware update. The printer and its various apps crash ALL the time, and the buttons on the machine itself (for...

HP photosmart C4580

This is the worst printer I've ever owned. It hasn't worked well from the instant I got it. It needs to be restarted constantly, it jams all the time, the scanning quality is horrible. I will never buy another HP.
