I had previous experience with this printer, and wanted the same model as a replacement. It does everything I need it to and is relatively user-friendly.
Pros: Affordable
I would recommend this to a friend!

I started using this printer about a month ago and have been very pleased with it so far. The printer and its software are easy to use and have worked flawlessly.
The HP 6978 is a good successor to the classic All-In-One line. Real instructions for installing the software needed to activate all the features would have been nice. The fact that the initial ink cartridges are included with the purchase (in the very box) would have been useful information. (I was tricked into buying another full set of cartridges).
Having used HP printers for years, when the previous model was exhibiting signs of aging, I turned to HP and this time went up a bit to the OfficeJet Pro. This is an excellent printer, so much faster, AND it connects to the wifi everytime without hesitation. (old printer did not) Our daughter is in college and she loves being able to print from her computer from anywhere in the house. Quality of print is great, and changing ink cartridges doesn't require a mechanical engineering degree.
Great for printing and faxing but not good for scanning documents. When scanning a document that is printed on both sides, the back side printing bleeds through to the front when scanned
