HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One

HP's OfficeJet J4680 is a $130 (as of August 4, 2008) multifunction color inkjet printer that gives small- and home-office users a reasonable helping of business features at a really low price. Unfortunately, it falls short in speed and long-term economy.

Inexpensive; impressive print quality ; Wireless networking and ADF standard

Copies, scans, and prints photos slowly ; Costly inks

It offers SOHO users a lot of features for the price, but it's slow, and the inks can be costly.

HP officejet J4680 All-in-One Printer Review

Over the last couple of years all in Inkjet printers have pushed single function printers out of the market. A multifunction peripheral offers more convenience in less desk space than a separate copier, printer, and scanner, not to mention a huge...

Review: OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One

For $130, you might not be surprised to find print, scan, and copy capabilities in HP's OfficeJet J4680 multifunction ink-jet printer. But the J460 also has a built-in fax machine, wireless connectivity, and a 20-sheet auto document feeder.

Setting up the printer was easy enough: just attach the included USB and power cables, install the software and print cartridges, and you’re ready to go. There were also a couple of cool setup features I hadn’t seen before in an HP multifunction...

HP Officejet J4680 review: HP Officejet J4680

HP Officejet J4680

Inexpensive; auto-document feeder; Wi-Fi connectivity; driver settings provide helpful shortcuts; small footprint.

Painfully slow output speed; awkward page handling; lacks page status monitor and media card reader; low output page count; ships with shallow ink cartridges.

The HP Officejet J4680 offers more features at a cheaper price than most of its competitors, and small offices and home professionals will appreciate its print quality as well. Unfortunately, its negatives far outweigh the positives: your office...

HP OfficeJet J4680 review

HP's OfficeJet J4680 is a £119 inc VAT multifunction colour inkjet printer that gives small- and home-office users a reasonable helping of business features at a really low price.

The HP OfficeJet J4680 might be slow, but it's a nice machine. A small office that doesn't do much printing would probably be happy to have the OfficeJet J4680's feature set in such a compact, low-cost package.

The J460 has a built-in fax machine, wireless connectivity and a 20-sheet auto document feeder

The OfficeJet J4680 is a good all-around multifunction printer. Despite its slow print speeds and a couple of paper jams when using the plain paper we stock in the office, we found it to be a capable printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine. Add in...
