This printer is great! It is a little louder than our old one which was in an HP as well. It prints everything we need it to - even prints nice quality sketches and drawings that we needed. The color quality is great it does use quite a bit of color ink. There's only a few things that we have found so far: 1.) that it doesn't scan A3 (11" X 17") which is annoying 2.) it doesn't always seem to connect to our computers when we scan documents and 3.) it really does use quite a bit of ink when printing in color (even on draft mode). Other than that this printer is everything we needed and wanted for an upgrade!
It is extremely annoying to have to change all the cartridges just because you run out of BLACK!!!!! I rarely print in color so I feel as if I am being ripped off every time I am required to purchase all colors of ink to make my printer work.
I am very satisfied with my purchase bu I see that if I purchased it now I would have received 40% rebate. Also I have a $2.00 coupon that was not credited.
