- All-in-one printer,scanner and copier with photos in as fast as 25 seconds, up to 22 ppm black and 2
Worst print I ever had - I bought this printer in US to realize the UK Inks would fit, but would not work. After paying for new 3180 in UK, it begin having problems only one month after the purchase. By them I had no warranty anymore! From paper jammed to cartridge malfunctions, it had it all. Avoid it.
Great All Rounder - I love this machine, it can do everything it says pretty much, just don t try and refill the HP cartridges yourself otherwise you may find it leaks huge black ink marks over your pretty pictures!
good hardware .... software seems an after thought - I bought this printer 9 months ago, and have decided to vent my frustration here. The software for this is poor (I am an application developer). Its not intuitive or easy to use. The online update opens windows all the time even though I have it disabled in configuration. It crashes my laptop often after scanning. Its like software from the mid 90s. I would avoid this printer, and will probably avoid HP next time.
Vista compatibility/ hp POOR support - Like many other reviewers, HP do a great job when you first buy this. Unfortunately after a while things go wrong and the support from HP is extremely poor to say the least. All they needed to do was send us a disk to update the drivers (like they have done for all US customers) rather than the download which does not work. Your money is better spent elsewhere if you don t want to spend 20 hrs trying to get this working. Seriously all the good reviews from this printer are when people have just purchased, look 6 months down the line of the reviewers who are throwing this out rather than those who have just purcahsed. DONT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS PAIN.
Awful Printer - This has got to be the worst printer I have ever worked with and being in the IT field I work with a lot. But to make matters worse the company doesn t have a return policy for it. They will blame it on the software and drivers for it, so you are stuck with a bad printer. Save yourself some money and buy another brand.
