Awesome printer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I only have the printer for a couples of week, but I’m very happy with it. It is very easy to use and the printing is good. Glad to have read the reviewsHewlett-Packard (HP) Deskjet F4480 All-in-One Printer before I went to buy it.

HP DeskJet F4480 All-In-One
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Pros: Small Footprint, Print quality fine. Does job I want it to.

Cons: One color cartridge instead of individual ones. Both color and black consumed quicker than expected. Ink costs about same as cost of new unit (typical on all ink jets, from my experiences). Software: Too comprehensive/cumbersome. Scanning menus not too user friendly. Several times Windows printer menu doesn’t sync with HP printer menu resulting in portrait/landscape errors and wasted paper/ink. Somewhat bias because my last two all-in-ones were Epson Stylus units, and I would rate them substantially better on all counts. Oh yeah…some prints easily smeared…something I don’t remember happening with Epson, unless prints got wet.

Ink sucking monster, otherwise an okay printer
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The printer itself is fine, but I only have about 20% of my black ink cartridge left and I've only printed ~30 pages, 20 of which were 600dpi grayscale. Admittedly that will suck up ink faster, but how can it suck up *that* much ink? There's no way this would have ever made it to 200 regular pages on the included cartridge.

The other problem is that the ink is smudging like crazy on the regular low-rez pages, even 24 hours after printing. The paper I'm using worked just fine with my previous printer (a Canon Pixma), so I can't imagine it's the paper's fault.

I'm hoping it's just bad ink. I'm buying replacement cartridges and trying again before returning it.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
After reading the reviews, we decided to get this the F4480 for our Mac OS X v10.4. We checked the box to make sure they would work together.

Three long frustrating hours later, we repeatedly get a message saying that this HP will only work with Mac OS X v10.6 or higher. So we called HP

support, went through their long, redundant, conversant system. After 20 minutes we finally got a person on the line. She sounded like she was computer

generated. I’m still not entirely sure it was not a voice responsive computer program. We had to repeat everything, our names, spelling of our names, computer

model number, serial number four before she could repeat it back to us. Then she said she would connect us to a MAC tech that would explain the interface to

us. Five minutes on hold then a ringing phone and a recording came on advising us that MAC tech support is Monday through Friday and gave us the hours.

Then we were disconnected.

I am livid. The product does not install, and yes we did follow the directions. The customer service is a time waster and frustrating. I’m taking this back and getting

another Canon.

HP Desk printers are crap
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I don't have this model, but I'm on my 2nd HP desk printer and they're crap. Buy ANYONE ELSE'S printer out there!

These printers suck and I'd avoid all of the HP Ink Jet printer lines. (We use HP Laser printers at work and they're great.) But, these printers are pieces of crap.

The scanner stopped working when I got a new computer and I was never able to make the computer see the scanner again. NEVER. So, I got a Canon scanner which is infinitely better.

The print quality is great...when you can make it work. But, between the carriage jams and the paper jams, good luck. I waste so much time trying to coax this piece of junk to do what it's supposed to do.

NEVER AGAIN. I'm going out and buying myself a new printer for Christmas and I don't care what it costs cause it's gotta be better than this horrible thing. And, I should have known better -- it's my second one.

Very Good Printer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The hp4480 imo is a quality printerfrom installation to usage. printing quality is very good for home use, I wouldn’t recommend it for professional use but for printing stuff like home photos & documents, i am very pleased:). It did take awhile to actually install onto my computer but i don’t have the fastest computer in the world either, lol. I like this printer very much

So far so good! HP DeskJet F4480 Inkjet All-in-One Printer
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Too early to “review”, as I just set it up! It’s small & doesn’t take up too much space. Great price from seller & it was brand new in the box! I think it will be fine. If I have problems I will write again…but for now A-OK! The seller shipped fast.

I recently bought a new HP All-in-One Printer and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. It is easy to use

and is very fast. And the free shipping is a plus too. Thank you, Amazon.com.

I Love My HP
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I couldn’t believe how fast I it got delivered. My husband got it set up easily. It has all the functions I want. It’s quiet, efficient, and haven’t had a paper jam yet. The print quality is good, and color printing is really nice. Good job HP!
