I'm not completely satisfied with this printer for several reasons.
Date of Review: Oct 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Doesn't do scanning with bluetooth connection. Too noisy!
This printer is just okay. I purchased it with my iMac as it was recommended by the salesperson because I wanted bluetooth capabilities. That's the only reason I wanted a new printer. I had one that printed okay but wasn't bluetooth ready. I hate wires!!I love the lack of "wire" clutter with the bluetooth and it was very easy to install. It's also easy to use for simple print jobs. It prints very nice looking photos. Easy to use and navigate the controls. That's where the convenience and quality ends.
Later I found out that scanning cannot be done while connected via bluetooth, you have to plug it in. Well, I spent my money on the bluetooth instead of a cable.
I was really disappointed and now if I want to scan (which I do, of course) I will need to unplug my bluetooth and buy a cable and plug it in. Defeats my whole purpose of buying another printer in the first place.
Also, another disappointing feature is I have never seen it print pages as fast as described. It prints about 6 pages per minute in black and white and nowhere close to even 20. Besides it pretty noisy when it grabs the paper. I expected better.I'm shopping now for another printer that can scan using bluetooth and really does put out the volume advertised. I would imagine I'd have to spend a bit more, maybe.
On a positive note, it does make copies with good quality. In fact, all print jobs come out looking very good. It's easy to change the ink cartridges and easy to learn and become familiar with how it works.
