 Best printer and scanner I have ever owned August 16, 2008
S. Cronin
Just bought this today and was up and running on Vista 64 bit (SP1) in 30 minutes with absolutely no problems. Scanning is fast and excellent quality. Range of options to scan to file/application/OCR/image editor etc. are brilliant and work excellently and seemlessly with Vista.
I have owned a range of scanners over the years and I have never had one which was remotely reliable (last one was an Epson). The HP C5180 all in one works flawlessly and the speed is amazing (printing and scanning). I have been putting of digitising hundreds of old 35mm photo prints for ages, but now I have no excuse. The seemless interface with the HP photosmart software will make the job a doddle.
 A printer that won't load paper? August 4, 2008
Mr. M. Rogerson (UK)
From the day I bought my C5180 wouldn't print until you'd fed the paper at least 3 times.
I contacted the email support "team" - they emailed me a nonsense 5 step (1 hour check) to troubleshoot the problem.
As far as I can gather it is due to poor design; on the support website it actually states "there must be between 10 and 25 sheets of paper in the tray" to avoid this problem. GREAT I have a 100 sheet printer that is actually a 15 sheet printer.
Customer support offered to collect my new and defective printer and replace it with an old refurbished one.
No thanks; I'll have my money back and buy a Canon!
SHOCKING!!
Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 20, 2008

This all in one looks the business and prints really well. Thats as good as it gets. This product could be outstanding if HP left it to someone else to write the driver software....its full of bugs and just doesn't work as it should or says it does. Before you buy just spend two mins of your time and Google "HP all in one software probs/conflicts" you will find yourself enough reading for the rest of your days.
Software probs in themselves can happen to the best of them but its what gets done about it that matters. I found details of the problems I have encountered dating back for over 12 months with HP being unable or unwilling to fix them. Sure HP have provided plenty of "work arounds" that basically involve disabling other divers and bits of software in order to make this one work properly. Kinda defeats the object of modern computing to me and reminds me of the days of BBC micros etc.
With the bugs that exist and remain unfixed this nice peice of kit becomes an over priced network or usb printer and if thats all need you would be wise to look elsewhere.
I've spent just over a week trying and willing to get this to work as it should.....time is up and its packed ready for return and a refund.
In the event that you still decide to give this one a go then good luck and may the force be with you ......you will need it!
Splendid printer - but perhaps problem with network printing on Vista? July 2, 2008

As far as I can see, this printer is PERFECT apart from one thing: I had 2 days of hassle getting my Vista (SP1) PC to print using the 'network' function of this printer. Hopefully what I write here will help somebody somewhere:
============
The install routine went OK, it found my printer on the network (IP address = 192.168.0.8) etc. However, when I tried to print, the job appeared instantly in the print spooler on the PC... but it took about 5 minutes for the printer to actually start whirring! I tried LOADS of things (reboot PC/printer/router, re-install drivers, check for updated drivers on website, disable firewall, change LAN settings, add http://printername to 'trusted zone' in IE... but NOTHING worked. In other words, every time I printed something... it took over 5 minutes for the printer to actually start printing!
I also tried installing the drivers on a different (second) Vista (SP0) PC - same problem. I Googled and Googled the answer for 2 days - no luck. Some people appear to have had similar problems as me, but nobody gave the answer!
If I plugged the printer into my PC using a USB cable it all worked OK (nice and fast)... but then when I unplugged the USB and plugged in the RJ45 network cable, I got the same problem :-(
If you looked at the "print spooler" it would say things like "16 bytes transferred of 64kb". It acted like it could only transfer TINY amounts of information per second => a tiny 'test' print from NOTEPAD took about 5 minutes to appear.
Eventually (as a last straw) I decided to install the drivers on a third (Windows XP Pro) PC, and *again* connected this 3rd PC to the networked printer via standard RJ45 on the LAN (not USB)... BUT THIS TIME IT WORKED !!! :-)
After this success, I simply shut down the 3rd PC, and connected again with the FIRST PC... and it NOW WORKED OK ON THE ORIGINAL PC, even though I had made NO changes on this first PC since installing the printer drivers on the 3rd PC!!!!! :-) Very strange! The only thing that seems to have changed is that now the printer is on 192.168.0.5 (slightly different IP address).
I have *absolutely no idea* why it all started to work OK after I installed the drivers on this 3rd Windows XP Pro PC, but I wanted to write it down so that some other frustrated person could benefit.
UPDATE: My "fix" only worked for 1 day :-(
As soon as the PC/printer was rebooted, the problem came back again. HOWEVER, I think that I have now found a permanent fix (it has worked for 3 days now!) :-) ...
Open 'Control Panel - Printers'. Right-click and choose 'properties' on printer. Click 'ports' tab, and locate the port that is already ticked (e.g. "HPB85xxx"). Click 'Configure port'. If you get an 'access denied' try switching the printer off, or rebooting PC... eventually it worked for me. Anyway, inside the 'printer name or IP address' change from the IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.5) and type in the printer name (e.g. HPB85xxx) instead.
==========
Other than the above, I *love* this printer. The memory card reader (\\printername\memorycard) AND scanning (either use TWAIN or the great little interface via http://printername) functions work easily over the network, how cool is that? Just plug this WIRED printer into your wireless router, and "hey presto" you have a wireless printer! OK, so the machine is heavy... but that makes it feel VERY well built. I LOVE the styling (nice clean white , with quality finish)... in fact I love EVERYTHING about this printer, apart from those 48 hours of pain and worry trying to get it to work over the network!
Fantastic printer! May 16, 2008

I've been using this all-in-one for about a year now, and have not once regretted buying it.
It's very economical, especially if you buy the large black cartridge. The range of prints it produces are all done with fantastic quality.
The scanner works very well, as does the bundled (with mine anyway) OCR software.
Copies are quick and of good quality.
