I bought this to get the scanner. The printer is way faster than I expected it to be. I like that the print cartridges are separate. Since the it is an all in one I now have a straight copier function. It seems to print color on equal with my laser. I think HP has good support for their stuff. However, I do find the scanner software to be a little clumsy.
I purchased this to replace a much more expensive, but poorly functioning printer of another brand. I can't believe I waited as long as I did, as the 6978 works light years better than the competing brand's printer. In addition, the setup was simple even for a luddite such as me. Thanks for your excellent engineering.
The printer is good. The installation was not. Having to download an app just to hook up a simple printer was rather idiotic, in my opinion, and it didn't work properly anyway. After spending an inordinate amount of time downloading and re-downloading the software and the app, I finally just did it manually and got it to work. And it seems to want to set up as a wireless printer all the time even though it is a wire printer. Irritating, but a decent printer.
Having issues. Paper jams frequently. Quite noisy. Already have ink cartridge, brand new, that doesn't work. No is sending a replacemen. Have had HP printers since 1995 and this is the first r st one I an not fully pleased with.
I bought this to replace same model (that I damaged). The first one worked SOOOO good that when I damaged it while trying to clean it, I just call HP and bought the same model. This printer combined with the Instant Ink program just can't be beat !!!!
