1 out of 5 stars Can't use HP ink refills? Really???   September 5, 2010
arn434
Recently bought "genuine" HP ink refills. Looks exactly the same as my originals. But, it says I have a print cartridge problem and won't let me print anything. Thus, it seems you can only use new cartridges with this printer. Ink has gotten much cheaper, so it doesn't make sense to only allow the use of original cartridges (as I said before, my HP refills won't work). DO NOT BUY if you like to use affordable refills. Simply put, HP doesn't seem to care about environmental issues such as recycling cartridges. Lexmark doesn't seem to have this problem. Not worth the cheap price, especially since one cartridge has a 200 page estimate. HP SUCKS!!!

I made an impulse purchase because the C4680 printer was offered at an excellent discount price. I wish I would have done more research on this product. It goes through ink way fast! This printer strikes me as being offered for its low price so HP call sell you lots of high-priced ink. If you do anything more than occasional printing and the cost of ink is important to you, do some research before you buy.


3 out of 5 stars A Just Fine Printer   August 21, 2010

I bought this printer for college, and used it in my dorm and over the summer at home.
The printer is an all-in-one, meaning it prints, scans, and copies. It does NOT fax. I thought this was pretty clear when I bought this item, but the device does not fax, as some people seem to think. It does pretty much everything else though.

-Printing (A-/B+): It prints pretty well, with decent quality.
-Copying (A-): Copies are decent quality as well, and happen with relative ease. If you need intensive copying, I would recommend a printer with a document feeder instead of this one. HP produces some great alternatives in that case. Note that copying really is copying as opposed to a scan and print that needs a computer on. You can copy even with your computer disconnected.
-Scanning (D): Scanning at first worked great with no problems, but now it just won't work right. Whenever I try to scan from my printer to my computer, it gives me an error message and suggests I try scanning from my computer. When I try from my computer, it tells me my computer tells me it cannot communicate with the printer. However, I've been able to scan to a memory card and then connect the memory to my computer to obtain the scanned image. This is, however, not at all preferable to actual instantaneous scanning to my computer. Scan quality is decent.
-Photos (B): I don't need photo printing except for rarely, but it's a great function to have when you need it. Photo quality isn't too bad. The memory card reader is useful and allows you to scroll through pictures and print without even connecting a computer.

-Ease of Installation (A+): Easy, common sense. Connect and install.
-Ease of Use (B-): It's not figure how to do things, but the touch technology implementation is archaic and annoying. You don't actually touch the screen, but the space to the right of it, which makes little sense. Sometimes it can take 2 or 3 menus to do something as simple as copying. The product tries to pass the touch interface off as innovative but it is anything but in the modern day.

Other points:
-It doesn't require substantial start up time.
-Stylish, sleek, unobtrusive.

Recommandation: Buy if you want mainly to print, and the occasional scan and/or copy. I would consider buying this product again, though probably not end up with it.



1 out of 5 stars Throw this printer in the trash along with the paper it wastes   August 16, 2010

The first couple days, this printer was awesome. Then it started not accepting paper, the rollers would just skid on the paper. It wasnt cheap paper either, in fact HP made the paper also. Then I fanned the pages a bit and it worked a couple times, then it started taking 3 or 4 pages at the same time, usually jamming the printer. Thats when I studied the manual and discovered that the paper tray was only designed to hold no more than 15 pages. 15 PAGES??? Thats nothing! My last printer (a bulletproof Deskjet 495) held a good 50 pages without difficulty and worked without giving me grief. I would still be using it but HP discontinued driver support for Mac OS 10.6. So I assimilated to the 15 page rule, but that STILL didnt solve the problem completely. I would frequently clear paper jams or feed it one page at a time. Being a busy college student, I dont have time to put up with this kind of junk.

Then eventually, the paper jammed to the point where everything got crammed under the cartridge cradle and eventually seized the cradle. After clearing the jam, the cradle refused to move. I then discovered that the belt that moves the cradle snapped. I took my cartridges out, took my paper out, and threw that terrible printer out of my 2nd story window. If that printer did ANYTHING well, it was making a satisfying crash on the cold, wet driveway below.

I bought a replacement HP printer to use up the remainder of the ink in the cartridges I just bought. As soon as those are empty, the printer is going back to the store and I am buying a Canon.



1 out of 5 stars System conflicts - returning it today   August 7, 2010

Coming from a tech experienced household, we bought the Photosmart C4780 printer/scanner, expecting it to be plug and play. After 2 hours with tech support, we were able to get the wireless function working on our PC (we have both a PC and a Mac). The Macbook never managed to connect. Then the scanning capability stopped working. (When it did work, it was relatively slow, and the printer makes a noticable amount of noise when turning on and scanning.) At this point, we're fed up and are returning it to the store. Too bad, because our old HP inkjet is a workhorse that we've loved and had for years. This model, though, is not recommended at all.
