Hewlett-Packard C4580 All-in-One

Decided to consolidate our household printing into one device, rather than be dealing with cartridge replacements, paper jams etc around the house. The easiest route was clearly to link printer to the laptop and 2 PC's wirelessly. Huge range of prices for wireless printers and was delighted to locate this one at Comet for £75 - available cheaper now in some places.

The product was well packaged, and once unwrapped, I used the clear manual to do the initial set up to the PC. I used the USB cable in the first instance.

Decided to consolidate our household printing into one device, rather than be dealing with cartridge replacements, paper jams etc around the house. The easiest route was clearly to link printer to the laptop and 2 PC's wirelessly. Huge range of prices for wireless printers and was delighted to locate this one at Comet for £75 - available cheaper now in some places. Used the collect-at-store process which worked perfectly, with the product having been taken off the shelf and stored for me to collect.
The product was well packaged, and once unwrapped, I used the clear manual to do the initial set up to the PC. I used the USB cable in the first instance. Once this was sorted, I very quickly connected the laptop (don't forget you will need the security code for you wireless network) and also the other PC. Black and white printing is clear, and can be very quick if the draft settings are used. Colour printing very good, although I do not use for photo printing (I find Tesco on line much easier). Copying and scanning are also very simple and effective. Only one slight hitch emerged when the printer sometimes failed to automatically start when a print was sent wirelessly. This was easily rectified by downloading an update from the HP website which communicated direct with the printer and updated its software - no problems since. The printer has also proved extremely reliable in its paper handing, with no jams at all. Standard cartridges are of limited size, and I am investigating the cost of larger "XL" sizes next time. Overall an excellent product - highly recommended.
