Review: Installation and configuration of this printer was easy and took less than 45 minutes from the time I started unpacking until I was printing.I have extensive networking experience, yet I doubt a novice home user will have problems following the clear directions if this printer is installed as a shared device on a home LAN. I'm using an SMC wireless router with 4 switched Ethernet ports, so it was almost plug and play for me. I did have to set an address, but the instructions were clear and well illustrated. The hardest part was installing the toner cartridges, but even that task was relatively simple if you take your time and follow directions to the letter. Installing the management software and drivers is as simple as inserting a CD ROM and accepting defaults. This printer produces beautiful prints in color and is blazingly fast. There is one area where it does not meet H-P's claims, and that is where the specs claim that with the instant-on fuser you will be printing your first page in as little as 18 seconds. It's more like 120 seconds or more. However, that is still better than the older models where it took as long as five minutes for the printer to warm up and start printing. Overall, this is a great printer that produces amazing results in the highest resolution settings. The price is right, and the fact that it is network ready is a definite plus. If you need a color laser printer and want one that anyone can install and operate with no hassles or reading through complicated manuals, this is a great deal.
