Summary: ...
Review: Good People,This ... product has inspired new levels of anger and frustration at the computer industry. I hate this machine and everything it's made of. It has been a problem since day one. Now it just won't print. Irony #437? When it prints, it's gorgeous. It has bad drivers that so screwed up my flawless new Imac that I was convinced it was Apple. "Kernel Panic" they call it. Yeah - how about mud in the gears? Slow was a dream. Normal - forget it.... It took HP weeks to figure out there was even a problem. When they did post, all it said was a blank link for a week. It has unreliable print queues. Forget actually knowing what will print when. It is loud, awkward and I am calling HP first thing tomorrow to send it back for a full freaking refund. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! ...

Summary: D145 The best unit I ever bought
Review: Great Unit. Setup was easy and worked flawlessly under Windows 2000, XP and ME systems in my house.
Its a bit loud and uses lots of ink but worth the investment ! Best product I have owned hands down.....

Summary: Getting better all the time
Review: H-P is finally catching on the time and attention-deficient home office worker who wants plug and play and professional results. My d145 started up right out of the box and works "reasonably" well, with few hangups: Print quality - great, even on glossy or ordinary paper. You can make a photographic print that looks like real photo process.
robustness - careful, "light" plastic
speed - good
scanner - works well
fax - nice operation
software - limited, funky, kind of a joke envelope printing - perfect!!!!
Smart card - a gimmick. For $100 less you can get the same machine without this feature. If you need it, very handy, otherwise, not a big deal.
Lacking: transparency mode for scanning negs. The software ought to be able to let you turn off the lamp during scanning. But it does not. Oh well.... Anyway it cured the clutter! One laptop + the d145 = entire office. Bob

Summary: Worst product to work on macintosh
Review: I bought D145 a year ago and despite rares drivers update it's still using 25-50% off CPU even when not printing, i can't scan and it's so slow to print. Don't buy HP product for mac !

Summary: Poor reliability: a clunker
Review: I bought one of these expecting it to be a reliable machine designed to last heavy use. Even though I only use it lightly, the print and scan carriages often crash, the print heads come loose and are marked as bad, the windows USB drivers don't survive hibernation properly, and the thing starts flashing all lights and demands to be rebooted half way through a print. If it was still under guarantee I'd take it back. Even now I'm thinking of buying a replacement as I need to get a new cartridge (and that is a significant percentage of the price of a replacement) Oh yeah. Buy a printer with separate cartridges for each colour. You always run out of one particular colour first, so why throw away the rest?

Summary: 145 is a BUST
Review: I hate to say it but this thing is a BUST. The photoshop & print features are very good, as is overall quality but.... The scanning features as they relate to data transmision directly to Word do nit function in the XP environment. 2 hours with Tech support on the phone did not help. All they did was give a "backdoor" to make it work. That isOK, but for [item price] you would expect full functional;ity in all features. BEWARE XP users..... I returned it and went with a Canon product.

Summary: Simply the best
Review: I have been searching all over for a printer like this one. I really needed an all-in-one printer because I do alot of things on the computer. The cost is another thing. I found that at [local store]you can get this printer for [money]. This price was good since to buy all the seperate things this machine has, you would spend a fortune buying a seperate fax,copier,printer, and scanner. The printing speed is also very fast which is helpful. This is a great printer also for people who don't have alot of space to put a printer. alot of other all-in-one printers are big and bulky. That is why I like is nice small compact design. Even though it is small, this printer gets the job done. I think this is the best all-in-one printer on the market today. If you go all over the internet looking for more information on this printer, every time you will see that this printer is simply the best.

Summary: Too many features, no function
Review: I have struggled with this machine from the beggining. It is a case of a machine trying to do too much and not getting anything right. If you need very basic limited quantities printing, scanning and faxing then it is ok. Trying to create photo projects and printing graphics is a nightmare- for every one print, there are 3 that go wrong. Also does not handle well for irregular sizes- cards etc., must hand feed, no batch printing. Not worth the money or the space savings, and HP does not stand behind the product.
