REALLY WANTED ALASER, BUT I AM PLEASED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS PRINTER. IS QUICKER AND MUCH QUIETER THAN ITS PREDECESOR, SMALLER FOOTPRINT AND NOT AS HEAVY OR CUMBERSOME TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE. GOOD BUY.
I bought this printer for it's functions (duplex scanning and printing) and it's size. It is much smaller than my former Officejet Pro 8600 with all of the same functionality. All of the features run great. The only issue I had was getting the software driver to install with my Bitdefender Box 2 firewall. After working with the firewall settings, I was able to get the Officejet Pro 6970 driver to install.
I purchased this product a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled. It was a replacement for my 5 years old HP officejet which performed excellently over the entire time. I have high expectations that this new officejet will be just as reliable. The only reason I did not rate it 5 stars is the short time since purchase. I feel that if a review is beneficial to other potential buyers, it should be as "solid" as possible consequently, I am very willing to add a follow up over the next 6 months or so.
