=== Design ===
Looks & Feel: Not the most attractive printer, but suitably executive looking and smart enough for any office. It is designed compactly, and so a lot of functions are crammed into not that much space. The scanner/photocopier part that lifts up is very flimsy and does not give the impression of a good, solid piece of equipment.
User Interface: The button panel on the front of the printer is incredibly easy to operate. There's one button for "photocopy in colour" and one for "photocopy in B&W". There's a "SCAN" button, and an LED display that shows how many pages there are left to print. Completely foolproof!
Size: As I mentioned, it is relatively small and fairly light, and will fit on most coffee tables or even on most chairs. About the size of four shoeboxes.

=== Installation/Connecting to the PC ===
Fairly simple. You are provided with a CD, from which you install the basic software. Then you just need to install the printer with Windows's wizard, and you can print. I have also set mine up so that two different computers are connected to it, which was very easy. However, now whenever the printer is disconnected from my computer, it disconnects me from the internet. This is obviously far from ideal.
Quality of Printing

I have only used if for simple pictures and word processing, but I have found it to be perfectly good so far. I do not print off my photos at home, however, so I cannot vouch for the printer's quality when printing photos
