They DOWNGRADED it NOT to work with Apple OS X 10.5 :(2008-10-26
First, I've never been a bog fan of HP. I've owned this all-in-one for a few years now and rarely use the scanning feature. Today, when I tried to scan after upgrading to OS X 10.5 Leopard, I couldn't scan. Then I found this on HP's site:

"Scanning is no longer supported when using Mac OS v10.5 with the following products: HP PSC 1100 series, HP PSC 1200 series, HP PSC 1310 series, HP PSC 2110 series, HP PSC 2170 series, HP PSC 2200 series, HP PSC 2310 series, HP PSC 2400 series, HP Officejet 4100 series, HP Officejet 4200 series, HP Officejet 5500 series, HP Officejet 6100 series.

If the scanning features are necessary, upgrade to an HP product that is fully compatible with Mac OS v10.5."

Nice try. I'm going with Canon or Epson next time.
Great when the drivers aren't bad!2007-08-17
I have used this printer for about 3 years, and it has basically done everything I've asked of it, except scan high-definition images. Considering the price range, though, that's a reasonable trade-off. However, it is really bad when HP tries to sabotage its own customers when they release bad drivers DESIGNED TO BREAK THE PRINTER. After a lot of headaches, a through testing of the printer for about 10 hours, searching on the web for answers, I finally found what I needed to hear. You can replace the defective drivers of this printer with the HP Deskjet 990c when you set up this printer. If you bought this printer for maybe copying and printing, you can just install the 990c's drivers on XP and skip the SOFTWARE THAT HP FORCES YOU TO INSTALL. Anyway, good printer for the money, but HP really tried to screw their customers with bad drivers (I would assume a bad executive trying to squeeze more sales), and they're going to pay for it in sales of other printers.
Great when it works!2007-06-02
For the moment I am ready to put this out for the garbage guy. Does anyone else seem to have the same problem with theirs. Seems like after we use the photo card and later want to print a word doc. the printer doesn't want to work. I have turned it off and on several times...usually the printer will just click and I shut it off for about an hour...then it will print. Now it just wants to send out blank copies like it's lost it's train of thought. This item was not cheap when we bought it...I guess it's been 3yrs ready for a NEW one!!!

Good Luck!!!
Scanner is absolute junk!2007-01-11
The scanner worked once in the entire 1 year that I had this printer. The drivers are horrible! All it does is display a bunch of blurry horrizontal lines when it scans with some colors from the document you have in the scanner..... and nothing is legible. Don't waste your money.... all this printer is good for is being a semi-decent printer for word processing.
terrible software, ok printer2007-01-02
The software, including drivers, is poor. The scanning functionality is especially bad. We were able to live with the software shortcomings. But now after owning the printer for a year the black and white printing stopped working. Did all of the troubleshooting steps I found on-line to no avail. Now I've sunk way too much time into getting it to work again so I will scrap it. I definitely won't get another HP.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
