To start off, the ONLY reason I'm giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star rating is when I bought this a year ago, I found it on sale for about 0 cheaper and of course that is a much better deal. Other than that I've had this for over a year and it works great and I love it.

Originally, I avoided all-in-ones because I heard they did everything but didn't print as well as a dedicated printer. That may or may not still be the case, but I needed the all-in-one so I reluctantly traded in my old HP Deskjet printer. I was very pleasantly surprised and found this prints a lot faster and twice as sharp so GOOD RIDDANCE to my old desk jet.

Printing is fast and clean and I like having two feeder trays for paper. I keep regular paper up front and photo paper in the back and it's easy to choose when needed. Duplex printing and copying is also a nice feature. The copies are great and sometimes difficult to tell them apart from the originals. I print a lot of photos and find they come out great too. In terms of ink usage, I haven't tracked that carefully so can't comment on whether it is efficient although consumer reports rated it as above average in this area, which is part of the reason why I bought it. I usually get my used cartridges refilled so that saves some money and works quite well.

Regarding scanning, I think it is good for documents but not especially great for photos. If you really want to scan photos, get a dedicated photo scanner, but it is OK for the occasional photo.

I thought the setup was easy and I really like the wireless feature since we mostly use wireless laptops. It is easy add to printing to another computer however you do need to run the install program but it just takes a few minutes.
