Setting up is easy, almost self-explanatory. What can not be explained by itself, shows a printer via video on the display (for example, how to load the ink cartridges). No idea of art? There is no need here also.
The establishment of the WLAN goes like by itself - if you have stored on your Mac the WiFi password, then it is even taken. You need to set up a USB cable! (What's a good thing, because the printer would still need a large USB 1 cable, which has almost no one at home.
Print image is very clean and the described strips (some recessions suggest) when image printing depend on the paper. The better the paper, the lower strip. On photo paper will be printed first class!
The stripes in the image printing are also seen only in Mac (in my Mavericks), not when you print from Windows.
But as the drivers come from HP, you can not push it maybe on the printer but on the manufacturer.
Oh yes, you can print photos only from the main cassette. So out paper, photo paper inside. For a photo a bit much effort, since the question is why you can not do that in a single collection. Since I do not ever do, do not care.
When scanning I have many pages scanned using the "Scan to Computer" menu - suddenly was no longer that.
Although the Mac in the HP Utility indicates that everything would be fine. Also with the scanning software is everything. Only the printer says he can not find a computer. The problem was on between one side and the next - that is, without changes to the settings. Did it also can not fix. Because you can scan but well with the scan software, I do not care.
This may be due to Apple Bonjour - but no idea how to fix it.
Praiseworthy is the pickup is fast and clean, and the Duplex Scan scans double-sided documents in a flash.
So now the idea is 4 or 5 star. I would say 4.5 and 5 is always rounded up.
At the end of a really good finisher and printer with many features for your money.
For me, a strong buy recommendation!
