HP PHotosmart C7180 is Great!.......2007-06-13

I bought two of these priners--one for me and one for a family member. The printers are great and work well with our iMac computers. The printers were shipped out immediately even though I selected the free shipping option. The instruction booklets were very simple making connections to our individual networks quite easy. The print quality is great.

Compact Convenience.......2007-06-11

The HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One Printer, Fax, Scanner and Copier offers a compact convenient solution for the home-office. After comparing this model to similar products produced by Cannon and Kodak, this model was the allover winner. This all-in-one scans with excellent picture clarity and the colors are truer than the other machines. Pictures printed from a memory card or from the computer are of high quality. The printer has a superior user interface which allows printing from a memory card or scanning of documents without computer assistance. The CD included with the printer did not have a Vista version of the drivers; however, the drivers were automatically downloaded from the internet after the computer detected "new equipment". A potential drawback is that the printer does shake as it rapidly prints; therefore, I would suggest that this machine be placed on a sturdy printer stand that can support the movement. Overall, I would highly recommend this product for anyone seeking all-in-one technology in a compact machine.

Very good, but not excellant, effort from HP.......2007-06-03

The Photosmart C7180 does exactly what HP says it does and it does it with acceptable speed and ease. As other reviewers have noted, if you want to use it with Vista, an extra step is needed. My printer did contain a prominant notice to check the HP website if you want to use Vista. The CD ROM that comes with the printer will not load on a Vista machine. I've seen the work of other manufacturers who will let their software load on systems that they are not fully compatible with, so I give credit to HP for its approach. The Vista compatible software for the C7180 was easy to find on HP's website (just do a search for Photosmart 7180). After downloading it, it installed with ease. Before loading the software, the printer had been found by my network and connecting it was a breeze.

Installing the software completes the process. There is one more download you may need however. If you are like me, you might have earlier versions of HP software on your computer (this will likely be the case if you have an HP computer or your previous printer was an HP). These earlier versions may interfere with the scanning feature of the 7180. A small patch available at the same place as the Vista download is designed to take care of that. Sure enough, before loading that patch, my printer would not scan to the computer though it would scan to print or to a memory card stored in the printer. After installing the patch, the scanner scanned to the computer as well. The 7180 also connected without problem to my Bluetooth phone. The printer produces beautiful prints and I find the text to be every bit as good as my previous regular HP printer. I like the layout of the controls and the fact I can tilt them to the angle I prefer. The LCD is bright and clear and it does shut off on its own after an idle period, as does the scanner light. The printer seems to go through a series of adjustments after each project, but I am told this is common to the new HP print technology. I have only two quibbles: I wish the printer had native two-sided printing without requiring me to purchase an overpriced accessory. And because the 7180 uses TWAIN drivers rather than WIA drivers, Vista Ultimate's Scan and Fax program can't see the scanner or fax. I can use the HP programs that come with the download, but I like Vista's Scan and Fax feature better. Here is hoping HP will make this adjustment.

Best printer I've had yet.......2007-05-29

Extremely easy to use...I have Windows XP..works great with that. Software setup takes several minutes, but it installs programs to use with the printer also. Works hardwired to my desktop computer and wireless to my laptop. I've used it on a daily basis for nearly a month, and ink levels are still near 100%.

not vista friendly.......2007-05-23

HP does not mention, but c7180 is not really compatable with vista, even the hp update on the web site may not work. Printer top is very poorly made and can break off the weak plastic hinges. Printing is good and pictures are very good, but the lack of vista support makes this only a decent printer until HP figures out a good driver and software for the vista operating system. Works great in XP and Media system.
