HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One Wireless Printer

I spent 2 days researching and looking for a printer. Our HP printer which is about 20 years old finally died and we needed a new one. Lucky for us, black friday came around and I was fortunate to get this printer at such a low price, I cannot post it here.From day one, I loved it. I'm waiting until Jan 30 to make my final decision whether I am keeping it or not, but we all agree it stays. I love the wireless capability as we have several computers which can now print without emailing to the main and printing from there. It is so simple to use that my non-computer savvy parents can fax and scan documents with ease. I don't know if this will be a good machine for a high volume office, but this is perfect for a home business or personal use. Quality is great, we printed pictures and put them in frames - quality was that good. Regular draft printing is lightning fast and ink usage is not as bad as everyone is making sound like.I will agree with the other review that if you don't want a bulky download of the software, get the basic version available online. I went with the full version download because of the extra features it offers and I have not had any problems with slow system or printer crashing.I was very excited to print my envelopes and greeting cards this year with ease and in high quality.No complaints, love this printer and hope it will serve me for another 20 years.P.s. the ink refills are very affordable for this printer. That was one of my biggest decision makers.

After setting up a wireless network for my friend, she requested me to buy a multi-function printer that works with their current laptops running on Ubuntu linux 9.10. After reading the reviews, I noticed 2 major issues with this printer... 1) either the user doesn't know how to properly setup a network printer 2) or the complaint is based on expecting more for a low cost printer which according to price/performace ratio is a really a great multi-function printer. My friend is new to Ubuntu and Linux in general so, I made sure that she can install it herself and more importantly works out-of-the-box. I was really expecting her to call me after delivering the printer but, she never did. When we finally talked after 2 days, she was ecstatic about the printer. Everything works out-of-the-box including the fax and the print quality is outstanding! She was totally surprised it was that easy to install. Based on her update after a month of use...the printer is still working flawlessly.To Ubuntu and Linux users in general..HP officejet j4680 is highly recommended and 100% compatible. BTW, take note this is a verified purchase from amazon.

I bought this for my small business. What a mistake!!! Wireless works great, printer constantly jammed the first day and yes, I was using the reccomended HP paper. By the end of the first day the paper feed only worked about once every five tries and by the end of the second day it would not feed at all. I realize this was under 100 bucks but I expected to get more than 1 day of use. I have been seriously disappointed with HP products and was willing to give them multiple chances but I will never again. if you are looking for reliability and no headaches I would reccomend going with something else. If you like to tinker with these things, the wireless was a breeze.....Jon KeehnerAudio Concepts

I read a lot of reviews about this all-in-one machine, and most of them are negative. I bought it eventually because I like the size of it and the wireless feature. So far my experience with the product has confirmed my original judgement that those negative comments were either posted by industry competitors OR by really stupid users who have no common sense in using a good product. They either expect too much or they have a sick view of the general world. If you are a reasonable person, use most of your daily products in reasonable ways, you will love this printer. I use it to print double-sided books (of course, odd and even pages separately, I know how to do it, I don't complain that the feature is not supported, I just feel thankful...)

I purchased this new for $60 through Amazon and am amazed at how many features it has for this price. It can print color and B&W, scan color/BW from scanner bed or stack of papers, copy both color and B&W from scanner bed or stack of papers, and fax from both options. On top of everything else it is wireless. The print speed is good and the quality is very acceptable. I had no problems with setup or software (as opposed to some of the other reviewers). It does seem to be using the ink provided quickly, but I ordered an OEM XL cartridge for it for $20 which should last several times as long. I have only had it a month so there may be some issues that come up, but so far I am very pleased with this machine---especially considering the price. I have spent that much just buying a set of ink cartridges for my last printer.
