I have purchased 3 of these for different teachers in my school and getting ready to order more. Scanner works great with our smartboards and the prints come out crisp and very quick. The extra option of bluetooth is a plus when working in room and...

Excellent printer on a budget!

 

I'd love for the ink to be cheaper, but considering that this one doesn't gulp it like other printers I've had, I can let that slide.

Quiet, easy to setup, and economical on ink. I've had absolutely no problems with the scanner, printer or card reading abilities of this printer ; The drivers/software are also much more friendly then Epson's that I've had in the past

The Bluetooth is neat, but it's the one feature that is somewhat complicated (and honestly not used all that much in our household)

Powerful, Complete Printer

 

Installed great on Windows. MAC OSX Snow Leopard users!! The HP Software will not work with Snow Leopard. HOWEVER, after you do the printer's setup (through the LCD screen) turn on your Mac with the Printer on and connected. Snow Leopard will download...

Very nice LCD screen, scanner quality and print quality. A very good printer for the price

Software could be redesigned, but nothing against the printer itself

I love the bluetooth. I can be in the other room and print whatever I want with just the press of a button, no need for wires; now that's what I called convenience.

Review of the C5580

 

Once you get all the software squared away this printer and pretty good.

The printer is very stylish, and prints good photos(4x6) I haven't tried printing larger photos yet. The LCD screen is clear and actually helpful

I accidentally removed the software from my cd drive when my computer said that the device was ready to use. Naturally, I thought that the installation process was completed. Well, I thought wrong. So the computer automatically uninstalled the printer...

Great Printer

 

Got it at a great price.

I love this printer, it does everything, scans, prints, copies. The memory card slots works great. It's speedy and looks great. Been using a cheapo Lexmark for a few years now, so it's great to have such a nice upgrade

I'm going to print till the 75 goes dry, then pack this pup up and return it. Don't worry New Egg, it's one of the few things I didn't buy from you.

Great hardware

Software is pitiful. Bought mainly for printing DVDs. No way to set inner and outer diameters so you have to set them each time you print unless you use HP disks, plus you have to back almost completely out to start another disk. DVD adapter is off...
