HP Photosmart C4580 All-In-One Inkjet Review

I did eventually get mine working, at least as a printer. I didn't succeed in configuring it as a scanner - though it does work as a copier. The print quality is actually rather good. One problem is that I configured it using a static IP address - which it seemed to require. I'll have to check again whether it'll work with DHCP. I have one router where changing a static address is a cinch, and onother which currently appears to be an absolute pain. If it will work with DHCP that'll be much easier. Anyone reading this who doesn't understand will perhaps realise that there can be significant problems in getting this device to work, though once I'd got it going I found it is quite good - unlike the previous commenter crippo. I could even be tempted to buy another, as long as the hardware continues to function - but configuring/reconfiguring this device is a real pain unless you are either (a) very lucky, or (b) very talented. Otherwise you'll have to be (c) very determined in order to get it work.

Mine works fine, and after a weeks use I have only one problem: using Mac OS10.5 and Word I cant get it to print in the reverse order of pages, using the usual commands.
I havnt needed to use the Scan function, so dont knw if that works. but the copy function is OK and fast. Print quality good. No paper jams.
Anybody have any ideas re reverse printing?

My low-cost Canon Pixma printer died on me just as it crawled over the warranty deadline, so I had no hesitation in checking out this website for a replacement, non-Pixma budget all-in-one. HP C4580 now in place. The point about all this is that it's not about the cost of the box - they could pay you to take one away - it's about knowing that the box will fail, but hey, if it does what it says on the tin, keep on buying those consumables!

Bought my C4580 in the Apple store with a Macbook Pro and the "on" off button stopped working after a few weeks. Knew it was going to eat through ink if it wasn't switched off properly so phoned Apple who told me to get in touch with HP. I did so and they sent me another C4580 (after about 50 minutes on the phone). This one has stopped working completely after only a week. I've emailed HP this time, Anyone any ideas how I get my money back because I really, really don't want another one.
