 C7280 do not buy January 16, 2008
Jeffrey M. Salcedo

I do not recommend buying the Hewlett-Packard C7280. This has been the most frustrating printer I have ever owned. It performs some functions well but the reason I purchased it was to generate reports for clients and it cannot print fast. It does not matter what the specifications say, the paper feed tray is unable to feed paper as fast as the machine wants and jams several times during every report.
As a rule, do not try in print in fast draft because it will jam paper. The software has bugs in it and this too does not allow it to print fast. Our previous HP printer could actually do 30 pages per minute. This printer in the "draft" mode stops every page and waits three or four seconds between printing. This machine can only create 10 pages a minute in draft mode. After several phone calls and e-mails to Hewlett-Packard, the technicians in Pakistan have no idea what to do. The technicians that responded by e-mail had me change a setting on the printer that is so hidden it could never be found and then 50 percent of the time the machine reverts back to the original setting of holding every page for three or four seconds and so will still not print as fast as advertised.
On top of all that, my reports average 45 pages for clients. The machine is not capable of printing 45 pages without stopping and cleaning itself. This is as frustrating as trying to get your dog in public to stop licking itself. The machine simply stops, makes a lot of noise with the carriage possibly going back and forth for up to 60 seconds in the middle of trying to print. Another frustrating software bug does not allow the print spooler to function correctly. After several phone calls and e-mails, the machine magically defaults back to going slow and may take up to two minutes after hitting "Print" before the machine will generate the first page. Then I still have to deal with this being a faux/pretend printer and not a real printer.
Simply put, I was suckered into buying this model and it does not deliver on the majority of claims. Do not buy this printer.
 Works great on Mac OS 10.4.11 March 24, 2008

Here's a quick review - I have Mac OS 10.4.11 running on a 3 year old PowerBook G4 (so it's not exactly state-of-the-art hardware), and this printer has worked great right from the start. Scanning, faxing, printing, WiFi, etc., all have worked perfectly from the first time. Print quality is excellent; speed is adequate; the ADF works well; double-sided printing works fine.....
I also have my son's Windows XP machine printing and scanning wirelessly to this machine, and again, installation and operation have been painless.
In all, I've had nothing but solid results from this excellent product. Well done, HP.
FWIW, I didn't even bother installing the software that came on the disk. As soon as I unpacked the printer, I went to HP's web site and downloaded the latest software.
Good printer but awful software November 21, 2007

My printer is 4 weeks old and prints well. Everything else, though, is lacking. Software stinks, wireless networking feature works about half the time. There is no automatic on and off feature which would be nice so that you could print remotely without having to run over to the printer and switch it on and off.
AND THE SOFTWARE......
I loaded the accompanying software on three computers and the software brought all three computers to their knees. All three hang on shutdown with the same error message "DeviceIO [sic] Notification Window". Also, the speed of all three computers was cut dramatically. The IT guy at work who tried to rescue my work computer told me something about "svshost" files managing DLL files... all I know is that I have removed the awfull HP Photosmart Essential from all three computers and things have gotten a lot faster.
My advice - Try another brand of printer. The printing part of my HP printer works; every other feature is irritating and poorly executed.
 HP C7280 Photosmart Printer Review November 22, 2007

Hp printers are, in my experience, excellent products. This new Photosmart C7280 printer is no exception. The one poor mark is the software installation process. The HP install program is very long and lacks clarity at several places. I suppose that needing to be all things to all the various computers is a difficult task. But, the install process needs improvement.

I had previously owned a HP 950 AIO that was about 5 years old that had poor Mac software for scanning and faxing. I was somewhat reluctant to try HP again. I updated to Leopard on my MacBook Pro and HP did not update its driver for the 950 so I had to purchase a new printer. I have been delighted with the new printer. I downloaded the driver directly from the HP web site and did not use the shipped CD as it was not current. The driver loaded without a hitch. The printer prints both sides of a page (duplex printing) which is a real benefit. I print wirelessly though my older AirPort to the printer with no difficulty. It was very easy to set up and be recognized. My wife also has a wireless MacBook and can print from the couch on the same printer. Print quality is excellent and relatively quick. The fax and copy software is very smooth and I now have no difficulty receiving a fax with my answering machine hooked up and turned on. That was a previous problem with the older 950. It also has a document feeder on top. I could not be more pleased with the printer. It's the best one I have ever owned. Everything works smoothly. I would definitely recommend this printer.
