Summary: Poor Quality...even for the price
Comment: I purchased this HP all-in-one over a year ago. The first 6 months were great then it all went down hill. To save a long story this printer has broke 6 times and I have fixed it all six times. Then the software stopped working and won't scan or copy...why have an all-in-one?? Then it started printing crooked and yes I aligned the cartridge. A friend of mine has this same one. He said the same thing first 6 months or so are fine then....
Get a Brother! Very realiable!!

Summary: So far so good...
Comment: I've had this printer for about a year and bought it mainly because of price and needed a printer/scanner/copier. So far, I haven't had any problems with it and didn't have a problem setting it up.
I also checked to see what the replacement ink cartridges would cost compared to other printers on the market and this wasn't too bad. No paper jams or problems with software or printing; however, this is used only occasionally for our home office so I don't know how it would function under heavy use. I've used good quality 24# paper and junk paper - both with no problems.
I've been happy with the color quality, but then I'm not an expert on determining such things - I just know I've been satisfied with it. The photos look good to me, but I always use good quality, shiny photo paper.
My only complaint is that I find it somewhat difficult to get to the ink cartridges to replace them. They're buried in the bowels of the machine and can be difficult to get to and somewhat difficult to determine if you've got them snapped in place properly. The design could have been better. For that reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Summary: The Printer That Ate My Computer
Comment: After I installed my HP PSC 1315 about one year ago, I could not run my Jasc software programs. I could not use my Epson Stylus C60 as an alternative printer, although it remained installed with my computer. The HP PSC 1315 photo sharing progrm (Snapfish) required RECIPIENTS of photos to log in (even my daughter refused). Yesterday was the end, as the HP PSC 1315's malfunctioning (after one year) caused me to spend hours of my time trying to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the software. It would not reinstall successfully, so I uninstalled and am junking the machine. Until recently, the print quality was pretty good, but the quality has been going downhill recently. After not using my Epson Stylus C60 (about 5 years old) for a year (as the 1315 wouldn't allow it), I tried it today and, although it needed new ink cartridges, it worked perfectly. So, I'm purchasing an Epson all-in-one. I will never purchase an HP printer again - the 1315 has frightened me off.

Summary: not worth it
Comment: I tried this printer with an iMac G5 as well as a Dell laptop running XP professional. HP claimed Mac compatibility, but in reality you only get print functions - no scanner support - when locally attached via USB. And while it will work fine (print only) on an AirPort Express network from the Mac, there is no Windows XP support so I can't print wirelessly from my laptop. This is my third and last HP purchase. They really shouldn't be allowed to write driver software.

Summary: Disposable Printer
Comment: Totally agree - that this appears to be an awesome deal. I as well paid about $100 for it. It instantly worked with my iBook. Other than being loud and slow - it printed, copied and scanned very well. After about 8 months of use - it started acting up with paper jams now and then. After a year - it jams up each time i use it. I have to print 1 page at a time and then restart as it jams each page.
Probably worth spending another $100 to avoid this disposable printer. You get what you pay for i guess.
