But for one snag, this is an excellent printer. It prints quickly, producing very clear, sharp print. It can take up to 160 gsm card, which a lot can't. It can be used from outside MS Windows, which a lot can't. But oh dear, they've slipped up in the manual, when they actively recommend duplex (ie both sides) printing. This is possible IF you re-feed the sheets one at a time, but don't try re-loading a stack of pages as recommended. This results in nasty toner smudges at the top of the revers sides. It's caused by toner rubbing off the first side as it's dragged over the sheet behind, in the feed bin. After vast correspondence with HP, it turned out that there seems to be no cure. Fortunately, feeding single sheets is easier than on the 6L, which had a much greater tendency to skew them.
The scanner is a nice extra, and works splendidly as a photocopier.
