    The printer has not functioned at all for about a month. The screen shows ” Alignment Failed”, and I have followed all of the procedures recommended. The last E-mail from them instructed me to perform a procedure that I could not achieve the first step. They said that it was probably a mechanical problem, and that an expert would call within a specific time range.Well, no one called, so I am asking for a replacement. If I am successful , I will make an addendum to my review. HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer (CD055A#ABA)

    Needed something my non-technical wife could use for scrap booking/photo printing — this was it! I have needed to provide her little to no assistance – including changing the ink!

    As long as the XL version of ink is bought – ink usage/replacement is reasonable.

    Good quality output – but we don’t use it for any professional purposes (home use only).

    When I bought this printer, it was priced at $[...] from the big box retailers, and $[...] directly from HP, (HP had a instant rebate if you purchased it from their website). Pretty bad when retailers charge more than the manufacturer. I found it at Amazon for less than any of those, so I bought it here.

    I bought this printer as I am switching over to everything WiFi. And I liked the idea that I could free up some counter space by replacing both scanner and printer.

    When I received it, I noticed that a few things looked a bit cheap; like the power connector. Oh well, considering the price, I figured they had to skimp somewhere.

    I setup the printer with a Win 7 laptop, and went off without a hitch. The wireless connection set itself up easily, and I was amazed at the test photo print – they even give you a “sampler” pack of 3 4×6 photo paper to test the printer.

    The scanner function uses the built-in Microsoft Fax and Scanner utility, so there is no scanner software per-se. I tested it and it worked as expected.

    The only thing I dislike is print drivers seem to have become major apps with 100Mb driver files! So far there is an annoying pop-up each time I start the PC that I need to figure out how to get rid of.

    So next, I installed the driver in my Win XP computer. “File not Found”. I look at the installation CD… it says XP/Vista/Windows 7. So off to HP’s website and download a new driver, which worked on my Win XP machine. OK, so perhaps XP is a bit old, but my netbook came with XP when I purchased it last year, and I am not going to pay Microsoft a dime more than necessary to upgrade to Win 7.

    So then I fired up both of my Ubuntu systems. Went to the print manager, and both Ubuntu machines found the printer without the need to install a driver, without the extra garbage (print coupons, photo web site), and without the annoying pop-up messages each time I boot the machine. Oh how I wish for Ubuntu to become the desktop OS of choice.

    But I digress…

    The printer even has bluetooth, and I was able to print photos from my cell phone and iPod Touch. That was pretty slick.

    All in all, a pretty decent printer.

    Ink is cheap because it only lasts up to 85 pages (per the box). I go through so much ink on this thing it’s unreal!!! I’m constantly going to the store to buy more.
    Just put all the other colors in that were low and the magenta is now low. Printed about 30 pages with this magenta cartridge so far.

    Printer let me set it up wireless the first day I got it (on Windows XP) but now it won’t work with Windows 7. When it did work it took up to 20 minutes to print one page (from a laptop).
    It will bluetooth print from my phone but won’t recognize any other devices I have. Tried everything I can think of.

    I don’t like this printer.

    I purchased this printer a couple of weeks ago, and have been very happy with it. It was easy to setup, easy to configure with my wireless network (Apple Time Capsule) and prints great quality pictures. I purchased this to replace an old photo scanner and old HP Photo printer that was really slow. This printer if fast and I really like the integrated photo tray.
