For scanning: we can define a part of the image, but when scanning is done, not before scanning, as was my habit. But this is not a pb.
But above all, absolutely terrible pictures of qualities. Besides frankly minimalist photo printing software. I feel to be back in the mid 90s Unable to make a series of passport photographs as I had used in these times of school year. And above all, contrasting, dark photos, terribly pixelated. Crap. A shame, really.
I have not found a way to adjust the colors to limit the damage.
Besides that proposes to make greeting cards and other ... it would be better than that prints colors as they are, and we can create the cards, and print as desired (margins, no margin , 2 per sheet, etc .... this is totally impossible).
I will stay here if I find solution to these problems. For now, I took the (free) PhotoStudio ID for ID photos. Not great, but the fact ... The colors are terrible not his fault, the HP software is the same ... I have not yet found software that allows printing images with the setting page is desired. But I have not finished looking!
In short, disappointed, especially as it is quite noisy, almost as much as my color laser! I hope it will keep its promises to the consumption of ink. Because otherwise, it is money down the drain.
Edict of 18 September 2012: do not arrive to have internet access while my networked printer works perfectly (no pb to print), I contacted the Help Service by email (via the HP website). Answer in the day, and effective response, they ask you to stay current if it worked. And my printer was finally able to update itself without depending on the windows maj who always finds the driver is good, even when time ... I add a star to the effectiveness of the service. Matters!
I do not despair can print decent pictures, I continue to search the solutions and I come here to report if I find something.
Another comment on many forums, it complains that the printer's email address for the e-print function is complex and not customizable. This is something that has changed the date of 18 September in any case, we arrive directly to a page where you can customize the e-print address. HP reads and considers the claims.
