Summary: The Tale of the Finicky Fax
Review: After setting up the HP 4110 unit to my computer, phone line and answering machine I sat and waited for the faxes to arrive. To my sadness I heard fax after fax attempting to engage the unit, but the HP 4110 remained deaf to the fax tones. After a 1 hour call to HP customer support the person on the other end stated: this unit will only work in tandem with an analogue answering machine and if there is any static on the phone line, the unit will not engage into the fax mode. It's been a long time since I've seen an analogue answering machine (remember the type with two tapes?) on the market and even longer since I've encountered a phone line that is 100% static-free. I returned the unit to Office Depot and received a full refund. Beware of All-in-One machines, they are too good to be true.

Summary: Great Little Machine For Home Office
Review: At first I bought a big expensive HP machine up around $300. I had it only about 3 days and was very dissatisfied and took it back to the store. It was too big with too many functions and seemed quite akward to use. I did call HP tech support and they were helpful even though they were some place in India. I was choosing HP for my fax/printer because I had learned they did, in fact, have reachable and helpful tech support people.
I went back to the store hoping to find a simpler but quality machine. I chose the 4110 Multifunction at a little over $100. I found the 4110 to be a smaller and more modern looking unit. Learning how to use its functions was easier and took less time than on the larger HP units. The unit is ideal for a student or a small home business. The ink lasts longer than some competitor's units. The quality of the color print-outs is outstanding.
The biggest problem with the 4110 is that it stacks the pages in reverse order. One through Five comes out as Five through One.

Summary: Big design problem with this model
Review: Faxes you send sit in memory, even after they have been sent.
Faxes you receive sit in memory, even after they are printed.
If you use the machine to make a copy, the copy sits in memory. Even after its printed.
Everything this machine has scanned, sits in memory.
There is no menu, function or button to clear the memory.
The brochure claims a 65 page memory, but it is permanently stuffed with the faxes you sent this morning and yesterday and the day before that. If I want to send a big fax I have to stand there and feed the sheets, waiting for it to transmit, like it had only a two-page memory.
I got through to HP's support line, and the guy there agreed there is no function to clear the memory on this model. He suggested that I could pull out the power cord, count to ten, and plug it back in. (I assure you I am not making this up, that is what the man from HP actually said!)
If you sent a confidential document you would have to do that immediately because any passer-by can dump a print copy for himself. Apart from that one issue, it works very well. As soon as I get my old fax machine fixed I will be returning my HP4110 to the shop for a full refund. I consider it "not of merchantable quality" because it doesn't do what any reasonable person would expect a fax machine to do, and empty its own memory of finished work.

Summary: Malfunction right out of the box
Review: I bought the 4110 primiarly for a fax machine. I pulled it out of the box and set it up per instruction. I received my first fax and the carriage jamed. I followed HP instructions to correct the problem to no avail. The carriage continued to jam with every fax. I called HP and received the run around. They finally said they would send me a refurbished unit. I told them I paid for a new unit and not a used one. I returned the unit back to the store I purchased it from and received a new one in return. Time will tell if this one works.

Summary: Works fine. Just don't talk on the phone.
Review: I bought this all-in-one b/c it was inexpensive. I really just wanted something for occasional faxing and printing.
And for this purpose, this machine works fine. I don't have any complaints. However, when i had my phone plugged into the machine, i could hear the radio on all the phones in my house. I thought it was my phone company or the wiring in my house, until I decided to unplug it from this all-in-one. Needless to say, it was not the phone company or the inside wiring. so i returned it to Costco and bought another one at Best Buy (to try to give HP another chance).
Same problem.
When i returned it to Best Buy, the salesman told me that he's heard that this particular model occasionally does pick up the radio. He's had several returns already on it b/c of the same problem. My recommendation: If u do not plan on plugging a phone into the unit, you should be fine. i had no problems at all.
But after looking at some of the other amazon feedback on this unit, you might want to think twice.

Summary: You Get What you Pay For
Review: I bought this on sale at Staples for $99. It was a disaster. I have always bought HP printers because they have been so reliable and well designed. This unit seems to be the exception. It smears ink all over the page on printouts, even after multiple cleanings. Sometimes a 20 page print job takes 20 minutes, someimtes five minutes. I don't know if I just got a lemon or if HP tried to pack too much into a small unit and all the units are prone to defective output. On the plus side, I bought it for the scanner and the scanner semmed to work really well.

Summary: Great for the casual user
Review: I bought this unit primarily to use as a fax machine. Most of the faxes that I receive include customers' credit card details. This makes a thermal-transfer fax machine like the inexpensive Brother, Panasonic, and Sharp units unsuitable because they leave the customers' credit card details in negative form on the film. Inkjet faxes are the next-least-expensive option. This HP Officejet 4110 surprised me with its combination of features and low price. It's only slightly more expensive than a dedicated black and white inkjet fax machine, and you get color printing, color faxing, color scanning, color copying, and the 33.6 kbps fax speed. If you absolutely have to have a telephone handset on your fax machine, then maybe one of the dedicated black and white units is for you, but otherwise, there's not much reason to buy cheaper. So far I have been impressed with this unit. The installation was painless. It comes with a poster-sized installation flowchart, and everything worked as it should. You install the software first, then hook up the Officejet 4110 and power it on second. You install the ink cartridges through an access door on the right side of the unit. The software installer pauses while waiting for you to power up the unit and align the print head, then carries on once it detects that you've done so. The Officejet 4110 knocks off printing chores quickly, and print quality on plain paper is quite high. In fact, the unit generates higher-quality output at a faster pace than my Canon S800 printer, which is a bit embarassing for the Canon because it cost twice as much. (I imagine than the 6-color Canon would outperform the 4-color HP when printing color photos, though.) The included software is reasonably complete. You can access all of the Officejet 4110's functions from the "Director" program. Most of the features of the unit are also accessible from the front panel, but the Director provides a better user interface as well as better integration with your PC. A very convenient feature provided by the Director is the ability to generate a cover sheet for a set of pages that are loaded in the unit's automatic document feeder (ADF). The Director software will scan in all of the pages, add the cover sheet, and then fax them out. While faxing, the Director displays a thumbnail page that fills in as each page is being sent, an unnecessary but interesting and thoughtful feature. The Director can also store incoming faxes and forward them to another number. While I bought the Officejet 4110 as a fax machine, I've found myself enjoying its other features, which are all well-executed and nicely integrated. For the price, I would have been satisfied with a lot less, so I have to say that Hewlett Packard has really hit this one over the fence.

Summary: A Competent But Noisy Little Thing
Review: I found the ink cartridge carrier assembly quite noisy and its movements confounding but none-the-less, the small-footprinted jewel is a good worker in all aspects of its abilities. I had an HP Officejet 330 for 4 years and the 4110 Officejet has taken its place and earned it as well. The printing is silent and fast with excellent quality. Too many users think that $150.00 should buy them all of the multifunctional bells and whistles in the world but it won't. What it will get you is a simple, solid machine which faxes, prints, copies and scans quite adequately. I have excercised each of its features fully and do not hesitate to reccommend it as an inexpensive all-in-one printer for just about any home or office application.
