Advantages: Good quality printing, looks great, great connectivity Disadvantages: Slow wireless, bulky
...get this level of quality, HP have had to compromise on size and weight. A hefty 6.4kg, and measuring 36.7 cm deep means most people will have to take advantage of the wireless capabilities and place it away from their computer.
HP have done well offering a wide range of connectivity options - WiFi, USB and ethernet results in a printer that can be used in both homes and businesses. At home, I have set the printer up for wireless printing. The process ... ...if you shop around for HP ink you can find some bargains. At this point I must mention the slow wireless connection times I notice when printing. After sending the print job, it can take up to 20 seconds for the 6980 to begin printing (802.11G standard wireless). This may be an isolated incident, but it has been occuring ever since my installation.

Quick review of HP Deskjet 6980
I purchased one in June this year (now September). After 1 paper jam the system is completely dead. After lengthy communications with HP email support (less than helpful) they referred me to UK telephone support. Here they refused to help as the system was registered as having left the factory in 2006 and was therefore out of warranty. They then asked me to send a proof of purchase which I did and despite being told they would get straight back to me I am still waiting.
Now I am taking it back to the supplier but was not impressed by HP support. ...

Quick review of HP Deskjet 6980
From Day 1 the photo paper and envelope feed did not work. These have to be fed and coaxed into the printer by hand, and even then it won't work on most occasions. Extremely poor design.
It's OK for A4 size and standard printing, but useless for envelopes and 6 x 4 photos.
Very large and very heavy.
Print quality is OK but not much use when one cannot get the paper into the machine.
I'll never buy HP again. ...

Advantages: Bargain Disadvantages: Might not last long
...might change somewhat from one printer to another. I wouldn't worry about it too much though because I think manufacturer support will help if needed.
HP Deskjet 6980 is relatively easy to use, you do not need to spend the whole day going through the manual and internet boards. ...
