Can't say enough bad about this. [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I am technically reviewing the J4540 here, which is pretty much the same box and is the exact same software.
The software is where this product is all very bad. If you need to scan anything, do not buy this printer. The scanning interface is simply horrible. I spent a full 2.5 hours attempting to get this device and its accompanying software to be useful for scanning simple documents (8-page leases, for example) and it just couldn't be done.
Additionally, HP install EIGHT pieces of software on your computer, and you must remove them one at a time through the control panel because they really, really, want their software to stay on your machine.
It takes less than two minutes for all these programs to load themselves, but it takes you 20 minutes to uninstall them all.
Outsourcing manufacturing to China was maybe a good idea once upon a time, but outsourcing all the software and documentation is really way over the top. This unit may cost around $100, but it will cost you 2 or 3 times that to send it back where it belongs.
Great value at only $109 [Posted on 2008-09-12]
I purchased this all-in-one last month and have been very happy with it. I have only purchased HP printers because I find them to be reliable and long lasting. I am computer literate but not a geek. I find the print to be extraordinary, even on the "quick/draft" mode. The scanner works much better than my last scanner and the conversion to editable text is, in my opinion, exceptional. I haven't used the fax because I have disconnected my landline in favor of my cell phone. The help section of the software is clear and concise. The printer is enthusiastic (it really hammers out its assignments) so it is loud and tends to shoot the finished product to the floor if you don't raise the paper catcher. The convenience of having all of these pieces of equipment in one unit with such a small footprint is the organized person's dream.

This little guy does everything it is supposed to with very little fuss. The scanner works fine with multiple pages & the software interface is intuitive. Fax works ok, although I have not yet been able to set it to send the fax to my PC instead of printing it. Definitly worth what I paid for it (less than $100).
Great Printer for your Office [Posted on 2008-09-17]
My Dad bought this printer for his office and I installed it. He is a lawyer and needs to fax, copy, and scan stuff all the time. Works perfectly and he is not a tech savvy guy, but he learned how to use it in under 10 minutes. The printer works great, obviously look for a large printer cartridge if you print a lot.
