Summary: Reliable printer
Comment: This printer has a small foot print, is stylish, and QUIET! Ink consumption is acceptable. I have bought four of them for use at work and home. Not a single problem. Good purchase.

Summary: What a workhorse
Comment: I have 4 of these in my office, and a 6500 (the predecessor) What a workhorse! It stands up to a lot of printing, prints fast, and the 96 & 97 cartridges hold a lot of ink! An added feaure is the slip flat top design, which allows you to put something on top if space is an issue.
I will buy these as long as they make them!

Summary: Not good for color photos
Comment: I bought this printer because of the good reviews it got. However, it turns out this is NOT a good printer for color photos at all. It's OK if you are doing only text printing. The color photos are worse than the ones by my HP-722 it replaced -- you can go crazy adjusting the color by trial-and-error ... and use a lot of ink and photo paper. Also, there is no catch tray for the documents as they come out, and more often than not they just fall on the floor. It has problems printing envelopes, too, even the common business size. The first time I tried, it stopped like it was out of paper. I hit reset and it printed the envelope, but it didn't print straight; the text was skewed. I thought this was because it interrupted the print, but it was skewed on subsequent envelopes that weren't interrupted.
For color photo printing I plan to take my pictures to a professional service; it's cheaper. This printer will be just for text. My next printer will not be an HP.
Update: I have recently printed an 8X10 photo, and it too came out skewed. Another problem with this printer is the same problem I've had with every hp ink-jet printer I've owned: no matter how much you try to adjust the margins, they always come out unequal.

Summary: Great little printer
Comment: I've been very pleased with this sleek looking inexpensive little printer. It has proven to be ideal for my small business application - easy to set up, fast, easy to operate. I'm still using the supplied ink cartridges after 2 months and don't expect to have to replace them for at least several more months. So, in addition to its impressive looks and operation, I expect it will prove to be very economical as well. In comparison to my much beloved previous Canon printer, I also appreciate that this one only requires 2 (vs. 6) cartridges. The print quality has also been outstanding. Definitely deserves 5 stars! After a disappointing hiatus of a few years, HP definitely has its "game on" these days! So, I will once again lean toward it for other products, as I had done when I first started my business about 10 years ago.
