Advantages: All singing, all dancing machine, good quality photo's and print outs. Disadvantages: Technical faults, software faults, but whose fault?
...home use, I have valued HP as an enduring and affordable brand, whose products stand the test of time.
Why a 3-in-1? The C4180 was something we compared alongside other general desktop printers, and we were initially attracted by the price. Maybe that was the first stumbling block. Growing up in a throwaway culture, and where quality is no longer really measured by the expense of a product, most of us are looking for what we can get at the most ... ...The overall attraction of the HP Printer was the fact that we would have something that took up little space, and performed multiple tasks, thus removing the hassle of having several machines in the house, or paying extortionate prices to obtain photocopies at the local library. The other attraction was the Photosmart bit, the ability to print photo's up to A4 size and in blinding quality, from a memory stick, camera or straight from the computer. ...

HP PHOTOSMART C4180 ALL IN ONE
MY OPINION
Our computer went bang so we had to buy a new PC, As our scanner was on its way out anyway we were offered an half price printer, I really didn’t fancy an HP again as their inks are quite expensive and our last printer only lasted 14 months, but after a quick demonstration from the sales rep I was somewhat impressed with HP’s improvement with technology.
This all in ... ...comparing this to my old HP printer. I’ve only printed half a dozen A4 photos but I think it is expensive to use as a photo printer compared to taking your card into Boots and printing them off there for pence per photo.
PRICE
£99.00 for the printer, £13.95 for black ink £31.99 for a colour twin pack from Argos
I think the inks are 7ml approx
WHERE TO PURCHASE FROM
All major electrical stores such as Curry’s, ...

Advantages: Fast, cheap, easy- even 4 year old cousin can use it. Disadvantages: mine developed paper jam.
I've always liked HP printers, so decided to buy one of these as I needed an all in 1 job. I bought my first c4180 about a year ago and it ran smoothly until it developed a paper jam message when there was no paper in the printer. Having no warranty on the product i took it apart to find that the sensor had broke, where the paper loads in. As a result I chucked this one in the bin. Due to the quality of the prints and the cheapish cartridges i bought ... ...and well what a fantastic machine!!! No problems this time what so ever, best 30 quid i've ever spent. So the first 1 must of been a common fault. But eventhough i had that problem i would still recommend the product. Fast printing, cheap cartridges, cheap printer, good quality- what more do you want???. ...

...it to high and use hp picture paper. I was amazed at the photos that came from this printer. Also i have tested the scanner on this printer to see what kind of quality o can get from it and after trying all the modes i realised that the extremely high quality setting can take up to an hour because it has to take in all the detail.
The HP photosmart c4180 also has a 1.5" preview screen and card slots so you can print without a pc. Unfortunately it ...

Advantages: good scanner and printer, also lots of memory card ports Disadvantages: Expensive ink cartridge
...HAVE to buy HP ink, if you do find a cheaper brand ink its going to be in a refurbished catridge. Which means it probably wont work.
Over all, great features but nothin that really stands out from teh competition. Would recomend a diferent make simply because of Ink. ...

Advantages: Small footprint, good quality, speed Disadvantages: A pig to set up!!!
I brought this to replace a printer and scanner, and try to tidy up my desktop a bit. I looked at lots of all in one printer / scanners, and found this to have the best balance of printing speed, scanning resolution and print quality. At the price of £75 from the internet, it's a bargain to. Showing exactly why the internet is such a good tool - I couldn't find this at less than 100 at the big three (Comet , Currys and PC World) Setting the actual ... ...is a fiddly business, I don't have sausage fingers, but for me it was very tricky, trying to be careful not to push to hard etc. I found the colour cartridge was being blocked from being inserted by the position of the print carriage. Eventually I pushed it into place, but it would appear that this pushed the print carriage over a small "hook" which meant that when it tried to align the printer heads, the carriage couldn't move. It was on the verge ...

Advantages: All in One - Need I say more? Disadvantages: No lead to connect to computer
I was bought this printer for a christmas present of my mum and dad a couple of years ago. I chose it myself as I needed to make sure that the printer they got me could handle the pressure of an english literature student printing off reams of paper a day. I can honestly say, it does. The price was fantastic, we picked it up from Tesco for a mere £70. Great for a budget printer. Many people harp on about the price of the ink, but I find the price ... ...nothing). I do go through, probably 2 black ink cartridges a month, and I must print off about 2000 A4 sheets a month (full of writing). It was so easy to set up, just plug, insert the disk, follow the instructions and away you go. I did have a problem with it about a month after I had begun to use it. The paper had, for some unknown reason, jammed and I, wrongly, pulled it out. After that it kept screwing the paper up. I rang them up and said that ...

Advantages: Cheapish Disadvantages: Costs a fortune to run
Pros: Cheapish all in one printer & scanner.
Reasonably small & compact.
Cute little LCD dispay but so small you can't get much detail
Cons: Photo paper keeps jamming.
The photo paper tray has never allowed the paper feed to operate correctly first time.
Printer paper keeps going in 5 or more at a time & jamming.
Ink costs a fortune.
Paper goes in at an angle if not lined up perfectly.
Fiddly to operate.
If paper gets jammed you need to ...
