For printing photographs up to 8.5 x 11.5 this is a great printer! However, if you also need to do a lot of regular printing I'd find a different printer. For photos this one is great and would be perfect if it did 11 x 14 pictures!

I have had HP printers for many years. Usually for five or six years per printer. This one is the best yet! The print quality is simply amazing! I never expected a home printer to rival the prints I get from professional print companies, but this one does! I was really impressed. Now, the only reason for me to use my local picture developer is for a quantity of prints to save on ink. It still costs me $60 to fill my new printer with ink. All of the all-in-one features on my new printer work just fine. The only other drawback is installing the HP software on all of our computers. HP printer software takes ten times what it takes for any other printer manufacturer I've ever seen. If you can fix that, I will really be impressed.

This Photosmart Premium (410A) relaced my old 970 CSE (12 years old) and my Photosmart D7260 (5 year old). Both printers went belly up 2 weeks ago. My D7260 was having issues not accepting the yellow (HP) ink cartridges. Tried several new ones at Staples and the software prevented my photos printing at the highest DPI settings. No help. After going to local Staples and returning 2 printers I finally decided to order Direct from HP. This printer rocks only because the software used in printing photos is the same as what my D7260 used. It lets you use max DPI setting and gave my what I was looking for in a final print even with 5 ink setup. Stiil not quite like the D7260 did with the 6 ink setup. I have not faxed any thing yet but soon. The scanner does good for color photos but my Epson scans black and white better. I also like the software used for scanning multiple photos because it seperates them on screen automatically. Real nice..I have printed between 10-15 (4x6) and (5x7) photos and 50 christmas cards and envelopes and still have the set up cartridges installed. Although 4 inks are telling me to replace them soon, but they are not ready replace NOW. I would have given it all 5's but. I also got a better deal at HP than from local stores until black Friday sales. But I'll give it 9 out of 10.. Tried Espon and LExmark while at Staples. HP is best by far.. Hope they stay in the printer business. Even though I hear they may get printer end. Kevin the bowler

This is the best printer I have ever owned. I am not the most technilogically advanced person (70 years old), but I found the machine easy to set up and use. The quality of the prints is great. I have two homes. I bought an HP Photosmart Premium for my first home and liked it so well that I bought a second one for my second home, even though I don't really need a new printer there.

I wish I could buy this printer for all of my family members. you might think that it costs alot to buy ink for this printer but as long as you set it to grayscale it is not that much at all. not to mention the endless features.

I've used it for over a year now and during the year, my biggest complaint is the scans via the ADF tray are crooked. This is because there is only a single roller in the center. This single roller mechanism is not always good at gripping and feeding documents, especially if they have been folded. My Canon almost always makes straight scans because it has two rollers, one on each side. It's supposed to be a high quality product for a premium price. But overall, the quality of my scans are 1 of 10.

Printing is extremely slow despite this being an upgrade from my prior HP printer, and then within the 1st 2 weeks of owning it, it malfunctioned and I had to spend 2 hours on the phone with technical support (who did resolve the issue), but at a cost of 2 hours of my and support personnel's time to do so). If I didn't need to print for a project I'm doing, I would have returned the product.

The printer is on a home network and the family use Windows Vista, Windows 7 & MAC. The printer works with the Windows computers wonderfull...the let down is my daughters MAC. We have encountered alot of headaches trying to keep the printer paired with the MAC (will drop the printer Wified or USB in use). Hopefully updates will be coming soon...we owned another HP before this one and had no problem with pairing.

I replaced my C7280 in order to get an AirPrint equipped model to be able to print from an iPad. The features of the C410a are excellent, including the new ink cartidges with a separate black cartridge for text documents. Even with fewer cartridges photos are professional quality. All features work just great, scan, copy and fax. The ePrint feature is very cool, also. HP continues to be the standard for efficient printing in the home office environment. And yes, it does print from an iPad perfectly.

After purchasing the printer, I had to call customer service to help set up the wireless feature. Then another call to set up a netbook with the printer. Then 3 calls when the printer wouldn't print. Either this is one of the worst designed products I've ever owned or I have a lemon. I'm disappointed. Two weeks after purchasing the printer, I still don't have printing capabilities. :(

It has mny features you wouldny expect with a printer/scan/copy/fax/photoamrt!!! Pictures are great, copy fax and print are fast. I would definetly reccommend to any houshold that needs fax and the woman like me, wants photo:)

HP has done it again! A great all-in-one capable of handling photos and general printing without missing a beat. Set-up was easy. HP has finally developed software and drivers that work perfectly with any OS. This machine works as well as the 8500 I have in my office. I am finally able to recommend HP products to my friends and colleagues.

Not happy after being a HP Printer guy for a long time. Liked all the features which prompted the buy but............ Problems. 1. Ify software/driver sometimes. I always dread updating HP Software since it has locked my computer up before. 2. Bad pickup on ADF which meant handholding often 3. Paper Jams 4. Not great photos..............expecting much better since I have been using PhotSmart printers since early on. 5. Slow to warm up 6. Carriage jam which now prevents printing..........but the carriage moves??? 7. Trouble shooting on HP.com does not improve the situation.....DIW! 8. It likes Ink..............lots of dull razor blades on this one. For the first time I am looking at other OEMs. Never had a reason to look elsewhere before.

Overall, a very good product. I do find it to be extremely noisy when compared to my 2610. Main features I like are the e-print and the multi-page function. Dislikes include the aforementioned noise and the length of time it takes to crank up. Would I buy again? Don't know. The price was good, but then HP constantly has this particular machine on 'special'. I hope it lasts at least the 6 years my refubed 2600 series has (actually in year 7, I believe)

The lack of a basic documentation in the box that contains the printer makes the installation and the start of operation a real chore !!! The Hp recommendation to use on-line information is good for HP savings $ but a real additional cost to the customer if a hardcopy is preferred and needed for a quick reference ! Also ,when I feed a document from the document handler to make a copy there is a line accross the full page on the copy ; this does not happen when I make a copy from the platen/scanner . I hope that it will correct itsel after a while !!! Louis

I got this last year when our family got Ipads and Iphones. Airprint or eprint was a little wierd to set up but it works fine. My biggest issue is I got it to replace a color lazer. Ink doesnt last very long. It seems we are always avoiding printing or running out of ink...

UNPACKING AND REMOVING PACKING MATERIALS WAS MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN GETTING THIS PRINTER UP AND RUNNING. IT WIRELESSLY CONNECTED TO MY ROUTER WITHOUT PROBLEM OR DELAY. THE SET UP WAS A BREEZE AND THE FIRST PHOTO PRINTED WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL LOOKING THAN I HAD EXPECTED. I LOVE THIS ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER. IT WIRELESSLY CONNECTS TO MY LAP TOP WITHOUT A HITCH. GREAT BUY!

I do not understand this. I just got for over $200 hp printer and they did not provide you with the USB cable to connect it to the computer.. I use hp for over 12 years and I was so happy . I cannot believe I have to go back to buy separate the USB and pay more for it... Hp.. This is not you.you should provide people with all cords and cable needed for their money.. Very upset.

took a while to set up after i bought it. but eventually. also took a little while to get the wireless working. it didn't go at first. have 3 computers on the home network, still not sure how to coordinate them all. it works great with the new laptop. but not the old, or the desktop which it is wired to. photos are only fair quality. have an old HP2210 all in one that had better photo quality. have to admit though. the scanner can scan in 4 pictures at a time making indiviual files is cool!

Have purchased only HP all of my life for myself, daughters, and even my mother. New Photosmart Premium C410 keeps malfunctioning. Tried everything. Must use HP cartridges or unit is programed to malfunction. In these economically difficult times, people should have the option of using their choice of ink as long as it is compatible. Recycled ink should be an option. -- Former loyal HP Customer--

I had purchased two 510 printers; and they BOYH had problems with the Zeen, from day 1. I was happy that HP allowed me to trade in both of my 510's for a 410 and a Laser printer (discussed in a different review. The 410 is non-problematic and a keeper.

I purchased this after having an HP6100 for years which I loved. This unit is cheaply made, the instruction book is inadequate, uses ink quickly and the ink made for this unit comes in much smaller quantities so your always replacing ink if you use the printer much. I have had many problems with it, some of which could have been fixed with a better product booklet. Wish I could take it back.

I purchased the c410a as a replacement for my 3310 which had a fatal jam. No problems with the 3319/02 ink system for 5 yrs. While the c40a features are great, and using the fax and scan worked well, I've had many many problems with "no print" and "failed print" within the first month due to #564 cartridge failuress. The repeated problem is a Oxc19a003f failure which requires a hard re-boot which does work half of the time. The other 50% problem is that whan all systems look good, you will print without one of the inks generating its color, when the on-screen report shows full ink tank. Very frustrating! I think the 564 design/printer head is the culprit. Bring back the 02 inks!
