Rating: Summary: does exactly what it says Review: This printer is an excellent machine for less than 200 bucks. I needed a new printer, scanner, and a photocopier and this product meets the bill nicely. I have a small office (just me) and we homeschool our kids. From time to time we need to make copies (in addition to normal printing) and it comes in very handy for that since the copy function does not require me to stop working on the PC. I have the printer networked using peer-to-peer so the entire house can use it and it works great. I personally use the quick print mode that uses less ink and prints at twice the speed. I have used the included OCR software that comes with the printer and it works marvelously, allowing you to dump the scanned material directly into the application of your choice.Overall the printing is fast and the color is good. I have not tried the photo paper or ink yet so I cannot comment.
Rating: Summary: Even a nontechnical person like me Review: will have no problems with this 3-in-one printer. Its ease of installation, scanning, copying, and printing are made to order. I am running Windows XP and have absolutely no compatibility issues. It could be faster, but the detail and color of the photo printing, even on plain, cheap paper, is a pleasant surprise and the text printing is sharp and clean. The copies it makes are actually of better quality than the documents being copied. The scanning is easy and painless, although the photo editing software that comes with the printer leaves a lot to be desired, but luckily I have other software for that purpose. I also quite like its small footprint and sleeper mode. Since I haven't had any problems with it, I can't address any technical support issues. This 3-in-1 replaced an Epson that was too, too annoying with its noisiness, quaking (beyond shaking), and jamming.
