Summary: Mixed feelings...
Comment: I have mixed feelings about this printer, and by looking at the reviews I'm not the only one. The first one I bought had faulty software and after 2 days on the phone with a woman who sounded like she was outside at a pool party and just had me on mute (I don't think tech support peoeple work in an office), I decided to return the printer and buy another one. The reason I gave this printer a second chance was I just couldn't find another that was as inexpensive but was wireless and had all the other features, (printing front and back etc.) I also really wanted it to work. I had the same software problems so I reinstalled Windows XP on my computer and tried again. Finally it worked... but not for long. After about a month of use the wireless component keeps failing and the software tells me there is no connection. (I made sure it was not due to my firewall or security settings). I guess it's different for everybody, but I can't stand behind this printer 100%. I really like its design and function, I just wished it worked ALL the time! Tech support is also a joke, I fixed the printer the first time on my own. Seriously though you get transferred to India and then back to America and the 3 people I talked to were all in places that did not sound like an office. I could hear wind, music and other voices laughing. Must be a great job but I would have liked the full attention of the person trying to help me. I found the support in India to actually be more serious and helpful. Anyways, buy at your own risk, it seems to work great for some and not so much for others. I'm just glad I got a store warranty becaue if I can't fix this one I'll have to get another.
Oh one other thing, after the printer prints the pages, they fly off and land on the floor. There is not a very good paper catcher at the end of the printer. I have to put a chair against it to catch my pages if I don't feel like standing there and grabbing each one. Poor design... hopefully the next version will fix this issue.

Summary: Snappy!
Comment: I've been very happy since I replaced my older HP multi-function with the Officejet J6480. It's very fast, has nice output and the wireless connection means my wife complains less about having to spool jobs through my computer.

Summary: Good printer, bad software
Comment: Spent so much time emailing and faxing my representatives the past few weeks, decided I could save time, money, and desk space by replacing my old printer, scanner and fax/modem with an all-in-one. This seemed like a good deal based on CNET and user reviews, so I picked one up, to my dismay.
Pros:
- all in one: save space, add functionality (copier, fax)
- document feeder rocks. No more manually swapping pages for scans
- decent print speed. much faster than my old hp 6122
- double sided printing. save trees
- wireless networking. print from any computer on your network without requiring a print server. WEP and WAP PSK support.
Cons:
- Installation process is incredibly painful (see below)
- no double-sided scan / copy / fax. Only scans one side, so have to feed manually and/or edit together. :(
- Documentation is useless
- low ink capacity, at least for the included cartridges. only a few pages printed and already reporting about 10% of the ink cartridge is consumed
On the whole, I am glad to have this printer. It adequately meets my needs and increases my value / deskspace ratio by adding faxing and copying in half the desk space.
However, it was incredibly painful to install and configure, requiring multiple uninstall / reinstalls, manual configuration of the printer, tweaks to my OS, etc. all for what I would consider a simple XP Home installation.
Things I learned from my wireless XP install that may help you:
- Do not install off the CD. Download the latest files from HP.com.
- Do not follow the installation manual included with the printer. Give the printer a dedicated IP address on your network and configure the wireless networking from the printer control panel.
- Disable all your antivirus, firewall, worm protection, etc. during the installation process.
- Run the installer and choose to add a network printer, not the USB
- Do a custom / manual install, not the easy / automatic, and choose to install the printer, imaging support, ocr, hp solution center, and update manager.
- reboot after install
- configure your OS firewall, antivirus and other security programs to allow the HP programs to work
It is this last step that took me so long to figure out. Big thank you to other reviewers here - I never would have figured this out on my own. If you see any errors about "unable to connect to scanner" or the like, your security software is causing problems. To verify, disable the programs and try again and see the errors go away. I was seeing the Solutions Center not launching, or 2-5 minute hangs when resuming from sleep on my laptop, svchost.exe taking 100% of my CPU, crashes in various OS exes, etc. after installing the HP software. Disabling my security software during install then enabling access in my firewall and Norton Antivirus after install solved all my problems.
This was not for the faint of heart. I was ready to give up and return the printer but am glad I finally got it working.
Just bought the printer last week and only now have it working cleanly after 5 days. I may update this review as I try more features (fax, etc.)

Summary: Good printer, copier, and scanner
Comment: The Printer works fine, copier is good giving nice bold quality prints, and the scanner is quite exceptional but follow the rules for cleaning to insure best quality scans using isopropynol and a lint rag is best like the professionals use. Water to clean the screen is not advised and may damage the glass,so careful on that. Flat bed for photos may be better for odd sizes; for 81/2 by 11 text it seems the Automatic feed may be better.

Summary: Great printer -- but be careful with the installation process if you're running Vista
Comment: Replaced my wireless printer set up (Linksys Print Server connected to a HP6210) with this printer. Am running Vista and installed the printer drivers using the CD which, I found out later, doesn't contain the latest set of drivers. Install seemed to complete without problems.
Used the printer for a few days and started encountering WORDEXE.COM errors when exiting word after printing a document. Based on articles and reviews on line, removed software and downloaded the correct drivers. Still had problems even after 2 weeks of e-mails and 7 hours on the phone with HP Support. They turned me over to MicroSoft who very quickly tried to turn me back to HP.
Talked to a number of my friends who provide network and printer support to a variety of fortune 500 companies and they suggested that I might have corrupted registry entries and/or not all the appropriate registry entries were removed when uninstalling the Linksys software (early version of their PrintDriver software that may not have been completely Vista compatible).
I was about to give up when I downloaded Free Windows Registry Repair 1.5 from Regsofts.com. With the appropriate caution (backed up registry, etc...), ran it multiple times, reinstalled the HP driver software and everything works perfectly now.
This is a great printer -- uses a bit too much ink if you don't set printer defaults to Fast Draft. Scanning to PC and Faxing from PC is simple and can be done by anyone in the family.
Be cautious when installing the software as you can end up with a lot of extra HP "bloat ware" on your PC. In the future I will always download the latest drivers from HP when installing and using their hardware.
All in all, I would buy the J6480 again -- the wireless feature allows me to remove a number of components from my network and works flawlessly.
Hope this helps.
