Good: Prints good, copies ok
Bad: Scan no
Comment: Had it six months, went to use the scanner for the 1st time, no sign of it, looked in all my programmes, can't take it back as I can't find the bill.

Good: The printer is very good value, I got it for only £29.97 and the ink was included. The printing and photocopying is great, the scanning software is great as it lets you instantly edit what you scanned and its lets you choose how many dpi you want. Also the ink is really cheap
Bad: The ink finishes quite quickly, and i'm not a heavy user

The ink does finish rather quickly even though I'm not a heavy user, but it is perfectly acceptable. To fix the problem buy the XL cartridges which cost a little more but it gives A LOT more pages, which makes it even better value.
Conclusion:
The printer is easy to use and install, the ink is cheap, would absolutely recommend buying the XL cartridges. Also another advantage is that HP rewards for using genuine ink cartridges from HP, things like money off a product.
