HP Photosmart C7280

Pros: Lots of features (color display, memory card slots, photo paper tray, wireless networking)at reasonable price.

Cons: So far I have not found any.

The Bottom Line: Buy it. Its got a ton of features including color display for printing directly from a picBridge camera, memory cards, or a USB stick.

Review: My HP6210 all-in-one broke because I pulled some jammed paper out backwards and apparently it cracked a wheel somewhere inside. It had been my 4th HP printer and other then my breaking that one, all the others were simply "outgrown" by my needs and were ...

Pros: WI FI WI FI WI FI WI FI WI FI

Cons: HP printer software is still a dog

The Bottom Line: HP is very economical on the printer cartridge use

Review: I had to get a new printer right away, the old one suddenly died, and i wanted an integrated printer scanner copier fax on a network, to replace my ancient giant bubblejet. Many things have changed since I last went into the store to actually look ...

Pros: Great photos, excellent features, reasonable cost!

Cons: Wireless can be touchy - HP software IS bloated!

The Bottom Line: Expect wireless issues, keep the software OFF. 95% a GREAT product!

Review: First, let's address the #1 issue with HP printers - the software! Yes, it is HUGE. Yes, it is a pain. Yes, you need it for many things. Here's my recommendation - install the minimal you will need, set it to NOT start with Windows, and do NOT search for ...

Pros: Very good basic printing functions.

Cons: Scan and Fax not as straightforward.
Installation software is faulty.

Review: For straightforward printing, both color and black and white, this printer does an extraordinary job with clear, clean print. Prints fairly quickly. The other functions (scanning, faxing, copying) are adequate but not nearly as impressive as the ...

Pros: Solid All-In-One features: printer, copier, fax, scanner. Prints 4x6 photos. Wireless network printing!

Cons: Dysfunctional and bloated HP software. Support experience was pleasant but ineffective.

The Bottom Line: Avoid if you don't want to monkey around with HP software. It's okay once everything starts working as advertised - printer itself really fit my needs.

Review: I bought this all-in-one printer from the local big box store when my previous all-in-one stopped working. I liked that the Photosmart C7280 had all the home-office basics covered AND the ability to print photos. Plus it supported wireless network ...

Pros: Brilliant color copies!

Cons: Jams up almost constantly. Updates itself while I am in the middle of copying.

The Bottom Line: Paper Jams Almost Always!

Review: I agree with the majority of the reviews written on this hp printer/fax/copier. In my opinion it is a real headache to use. More often than not, it gets paper jams successively, updates itself (almost every time) while I am in the middle of ...

Pros: Features for the price, and print quality.

Cons: Build quality, engineering, software, and support.

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend the printer, too many quality issues to be considered acceptable.  Support I would also rate below average.

Review: Let me start by saying this is the first HP printer we have owned, I have been using Canon printers for as long as I can remember.  We were tempted into this HP printer through a printer recycle/exchange program and the great set of built in ...

Pros: Nice looking
Decent print quality

Cons: Noisy
Unreliable
Expensive ink cartridges

Review: I purchased the C7280 four months ago with the intention of having an all-in-one for the home office that I could use begin transcribing a large collection of family photo albums to JPEG files. The C7280 appeared to work well at first, but I've ...

Pros: prints quality photographs when working

Cons: difficult to set up wireless connection, have yet to get one that actually works

The Bottom Line: I hate this printer! Save yourself the headache and get something else!

Review: This printer was a nightmare! After spending 6 hours trying to get the wireless to work with my laptop, it worked for 5 minutes, then broke. First it said that the wireless was broken, then it said that there was a paper jam when I wasn't trying to ...

Pros:

Individual color cartridges
Photo Prints

Cons:

Tech Support, Wireless, Tech Support, Scanning, Printing, Tech Support

Review: I've had nothing but problems since taking it out of the box. I've spent more time on the phone with HP than I care to. I've installed, uninstalled, installed, uninstalled, installed the software over and over again at the technician's guidance. Im ...
