Beautiful photo quality even with regular paper,

This review is from: HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One (Office Product)
When they say All In One they're not kidding with this device. I have owned this device for a little over 2 months now and have put it through its paces. First of all this beast is HUGE. Its about the size of a 17-19" monitor width wise. It will fit snugly on top of a standard filing cabinet. Its fairly easy to assemble and get up and running. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS as they're printed or you'll have issues with your computer recognizing the drivers, especially if you're not using XP.
The print quality is outstanding! I have never seen a printer print such vivid colors or such realistic fleshtones. Especially one not considered a photo printer. But this is where the device shines. WIth a photo cartridge and HPs photo paper, I cannot tell the difference between a photo printed on this device and a professionally printed photo. The media slots are a plus. You can use them to open photos on your computer as well so it does act as a card reading device for your...Read more

UPDATE November 14, 2006: A couple months ago I downloaded the latest version of HP's Mac software for this product, and found the new software very user-unfriendly. Also, it apparently eliminated 2-sided scanning, among other problems. After a couple hours on the phone with HP I gave up and reverted to the older version of the software. Unless they fix these problems, I cannot currently recommend this unit for Mac users. Latest rating: 4 for hardware, 1 for software. Overall, 2 stars. Sorry I can't change the star rating I gave originally that appears with this review. (The older version of the software does fix the first problem noted below.)

As a Mac user, my experience of the 7410 may be different than those using Windows machines because the software and drivers are different. I'm currently using this All-in-One with a first generation iMac G5 running Tiger, Mac OS 10.4.4 and the two generally work well together. I used to use it with Panther, Mac OS...Read more

If you need All-in-one to be part of a wireless network read this!,

I have owned this printer for a little more than one year. Some people have had enormous problems with this product and I am one of them. Whether you will have problems or not depends on your network configuration and OS/Service packs. If you have a wireless network in your house and you need to connect this printer to it, you could be in for some unpleasant surprises! The problems that I will describe have been documented and acknowledged by HP and has not nothing to do with not following instructions.
So ignore those who dismiss negative reviews with statements like "read the directions stupid and follow them EXACTLY". Later in this review I will give you some information for those of you who have been unlucky enough to encounter the well known problems with this product.
First, even though I like the print quality of this device I have some complaints about hardware problems I encountered. The first two printers I bought did not work due to hardware issues,...Read more
