Summary: Is this Price 4 Real? Amazing!
Comment: After extensive research into printers for my home office and an intensive review of my budget, I finally settled on the HP Photosmart C3180 without seeing any reviews. However, I figured that the price was right, the HP reputation is strong and the functions of the printer are what I need.

I connected the printer as soon as it arrived (piece of cake, even for a novice like me). I then began to use it very heavily. I am so impressed. THe quality of the print is incredible, the printer is versatile and it moves fast (especially when in the economical fast mode). The difference in operations and results between this printer and those in the $250 to $300 price range is negligible.

As far as looks are concerned, the printer is sleek with a very small footprint, even taking the paper tray into consideration. It has a clean appearance without an industrial look. It is great for today's offices with a more contemporary appearance.

The only possible issue that may detract from this printer is the same as may be found with any inkjet, with the exception of the very high end inkjets. Inkjets tend to be a little noisy as it prints at the speedier settings. This printer isn't any different.

I recommend this printer for anyone who wants a stylish all-in-one printer that performs like a high-end printer and yet who is not willing to spend the $400 plus price of the more expensive printers.

Summary: Photosmart an intelligent printing choice.
Comment: I bought this to replace my old beloved Canon PIXMA ip1500 after about two years of faithful use. In the end, the print head clogged up, and even after several alcohol soaks, I could not revive it. My Canon was a blessing as far as ink prices were concerned, and I wanted a good printer to replace it. I decided that I was going to step up and get a multifuction printer this time.

I settled on this one after reading the reviews on Amazon. I am very pleased with my purchase. For starters, the printer looks amazing. It is very sleek, and it doesn't look like your typical office machine at all. It is very well designed, and everything fits together in a compact way. One thing that made me leap for joy with this printer was the ink cartridges. They are not as cheap as my beloved PIXMA ip1500 ink cartridges, but there is a reason for this. Older printers used to have a separate print head that the ink would fit into. That was great, but if the print head got clogged, you would be screwed (just as I was) because you either had to replace it, which would end up costing much more than the original price of the printer, or you would have to get another printer all together.

With the Photosmart C3180 ink, the print head is actually built into the ink cartridge! That means that if the print head ever gets clogged, then you don't have to worry about getting another print head or another printer. You just have to get a new ink cartridge to replace the print head. That is amazing! The printer will last for that much longer.

The ink is good as well. I get excellent print quality for what I use it for. The controls are easy to use, and you can plug you memory card right into the unit and get great pictures directly from the card. The one touch controls are pretty straight forward if you ask me. The scanning and copying is good as well.

If I have one issue with the printer, it is the tray. The printed pages have no where to go but on top of the unprinted ones. The tray was not desinged well to keep the printed pages separate from the ones being fed into the printer, but if you just be careful about watching what you print, then that is not an issue at all.

I am very impressed with this printer. The more that I use it, the more impressed I become. I am satisfied with this, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a powerful all-in-one printer at an exeptional price.

Summary: A pefect home printer
Comment: I installed the printer drivers on two PC's. Enabled file and printer sharing through my network cards. Connected through a linksys router. I was up and running in less then 20 mins.

The craftmenship is excellent. Looks better in person then in the pics. Print quality is adjustable to save ink. Nice little unit with easy to use lighted buttons. A printer, scanner and copier all in one for less then $80 you cant beat it.

Oh....and dont be fooled into thinking you need to spend the extra money on a more expensive model just becasue they offer a 2 or 3 inch LCD panel, because you dont. Those LCD panels are useless considering you can view and change all the printer settings right from your pc without leaving the comfort of your chair.

My only complaint is that they dont supply the USB cable, which I think is totally rediculous. Circut City wanted 30 bucks for the cable, what a rip off, I got it for $8 at PC Club. HP does supply a black ink cartridge and a color ink cartridge. They are very easy to install. You have to buy the photo quality ink cartridge seperate.

The numbskull from Florida in the previous post that gave this printer a rating of 1...... well you can tell by his post, he is an idiot and sounds like tech supports worst nightmare. He should just get rid of his computer and go back to using calculaters. I hear they make them solar powered nowadays. This is definitly a 5 star product.

Summary: Amazing for the Price
Comment: After going through reviews of 15-20 printers, I decided to eye on HP PSC 3180 All-in-one. I just bought this printer today from Officemax, as the printer was on deal ($30 rebate), as well as the lady at officemax-counter gave me another $15 gift card (possibly back-to-school offer). Overall, I paid $55 for this awesome printer, which has a reg. price of $100. Sweet Deal!
Needless to say, I am awestuck by the printer's amazing performance. Its simplicity (to start up), vivera color features, lots of features with card slots, optimal space-occupation, high resolution, aggresiveness to print and price are unbeatable compared to other printers.
Next I took photocopies of my color and b/w documents, as well as prints of the scanned documents, in both cases with excellent outputs.
Finally, I took colored prints (6" x 4") of 3 photos (from my Canon A620 7.1MP digi-cam), I couldn't believe my eyes. Every details and features of the pictures came out perfect with vivid colors and in less than 15 secs!
I couldn't discover any cons, neither I want to. This is another great printer from HP. I was thinking to buy HP PSC 5610 4-in-1, but I think I made the right decision going for this PS C-3180 printer. Though the price is cheap, it doesn't compromise with the quality.
I would highly recommend it to other customers who are looking to buy printers for home or at office. Thanks HP.

Summary: Excellent Package
Comment: Let me add my accolades regarding this outstanding hardware/software package. The unit is compact, considering all its functions, and easy to set up and use. It prints super images, makes excellent copies with one touch, and scans with high quality and ease. The software works seamlessly with the hardware. I am especially happy with the scanning function. After so many years of marginal printers, and inferior multi-task machines, it is a great pleasure to own something that really works and delivers high quality images; and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this unit as an effective and reliable home/office machine.
