Really Nice Printer5

I bought this printer to replace my workhorse HP 6110 that finally gave it up. Once you get past the excessive packaging, you have a very nice printer. It’s shiny black (everyone is referring to it as the Darth Vader look) so it will show all the dust and finger prints and the residual adhesive from the packaging will attract dust for quite some times. OK, bitching done. The printer set up is really easy. You follow the cartoon easy set up guide and in a few minutes the printer is performing its self checks and shortly thereafter it’s running. I don’t use the fax so I don’t know how easy that set up really is but HP devotes almost the entire guide to setting up the fax option. The software setup is also easy and was problem free on my laptop. My desktop had a few compatibility issues with Norton AV but that was resolved. The software would not load on another laptop running Vista. The wireless print capability is great. The printer has no physical connection in my network so both of my machines are connected via the wireless router (desktop mnachine is not wireless capable). The printer also has a great feature called ePrint that gives the printer an EMail address (via HP) so that the body of any EMail sent to that address will be printed on the printer (recognizes MS Office docs, PDF, JPG, etc., as well as plain text). This means that you can print to the printer from any place you have an internet connection. Set up for this was simple although it did require that I reset the printer at one point before it would start printing; been working fine since then. Black print quality is pretty good. Color for text, etc. is also quite good. Have not tried printing photos. I have not had the printer long enough to see how long the ink lasts. But, you do get individual cartridges for each color and black. Scan capability looks pretty nice as well. You register machines via the set up on the printer. Once registered you can scan to the target machine. Warning though: you need to have the HP software running on the machine so the connection will work. That means one more task sucking up CPU. The scanner has both flat glass and a sheet feeder. The sheet feeder works quite well and is fast. Wish it had two sided sheet feed but that’s available in the next model up.All in all, I like this printer and the price was quite good. We’ll see how well I like it in 3-4 years.

Very Easy to Set Up and Use4

Contrary to other reports here this printer was very easy to set up and start using. I am a Mac user and installed it very easily before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Of course, everyone’s computer is set up differently and will react differently to installed hardware, but I found that if I followed the easy setup instructions then setup was a breeze. In fact, I probably didn’t even need to use the HP software because when I plugged the printer into my iMac running Leopard 10.5.8, OS X picked it up immediately and set it up for me — scanner and all. What’s more, I have two Windows PC-based laptops and they both saw and installed the printer wirelessly in a snap.

All-in-all, I was very surprised just how easy the printer was to set up. I was anticipating it to be more difficult than HP claimed. One hint to easy setup is to hook it up to your computer by USB first. Then, set up the wireless features via your desktop. Later you can disconnect it and use it exclusively wireless.

I can’t wait for my child to open her Kindle. She loves to read and is going to love this item. It is great and I recommend it for the reader in your family.

I made a test of the kindle in direct sunlihght at the beach in Florida. No IPAD , camera, notebook or other electronic display was readeable in this very intense light. The kindle 3 was readable very convenient in this light. Also the duration of one batterycharge is very good , mine is now running 2 weeks on one charge, i think 3 weeks are possible. The sharpness of the characters and the readibility is superb. The loading of new books is also very easy and works perfect. Unhappilly only english books are loadable from Amazon.This is a very strong limitation for foreign users.
PDF Files are loadable via the very small usb connection, but reading them is somewhat difficult, because enlarging the size is relatively complicated.

Using the webbrowser of the kindle is possible but unhandy because of the difficult navigation in the webpage.Unfortunately email reading from the email account is not possible with the kindle3. It could perhaps be a feature of the next firmwarerelease.

All in all i am very happy with my Kindle 3. It fullfills mine expectations.
