BUY THIS PRINTER - THE CD/DVD FEATURE WORKS GREAT February 26, 2008

I LOVE THIS PRINTER! I have been using HP printers since 1994 have had almost no problems with any of them. In fact, I am still using the one I bought in 1994 but it isn't a multi-function printer. I wanted to get a new printer that had copy, scan and photo capabilities. I bought a Canon MP970 because it had such high ratings. I hated it so I returned it and got the HP C8180 instead.

I don't understand what the negative reviewers are talking about since I have not encountered any of the problems they metion. In fact, my experiece with this printer has been the opposite of what they say.

Set up was fairly easy. I have it set up to work on my wireless network and encountered no problems during set-up. I installed the software on all the computers on my home network (three desktops and one laptop) and again had no problems. The whole set-up from start to finish took less than 1 hour (that's for the printer and all computers).

Apparently, some peple ecountered a problem with their printer uninstalling itself. HP has a driver update that fixes this issue. When installing the printer it gives you the option to check the web for updated drivers. I downloaded the update and I haven't had any problems.

A couple of the reviewers mentioned that the CD/DVD option only works in USB mode. This just isn't true. As I said, I have my printer connected via a wireless router (WiFi) and have been able to make picture DVDs. It's great to be able to pop in my camera's memory card and then just create a DVD.

If you want to burn a label onto a DVD, you must use LightScribe compatible DVDs (if you just want to save/backup your photos you can use any DVD). If your printer is not connected through a USB, then you can only label the DVD by using the printer's touch screen (this is straight forward to do). I've been told that this is due to a restriction in the Roxio software that the printer uses to write the LightScribe label. In my opinion, this is pretty much a non-problem. It doesn't stop you from creating photo DVDs. It just means that instead of using your computer's keyboard to type the label you have to use the printer's touch screen. I think the two reviewers who complained about not being able to create DVDs without a USD connection must have tried to burn a label from their computer and then got confused into thinking that the CD/DVD feature doesn't work.

To sum up, this is a great printer. The print quality is excellet, there are lots of great features, it is easy to set up and easy to use. I would highly recommend the HP Photosmart C8180 to anyone.

June 24, 2008 - I have had this printer for 4 months now and I still love it. I bought a new computer (with Windows Vista) and had no installation problems. I have printed photos, documents, cards and labels without any paper jams. I have an Epson photo scanner for high resolution photo scans but use my HP printer to scan to OCR. Again, I have encountered no problems.

Okay I read reviews here and on other websites. Some think it is great others hated it. I purchased it today and had it set up within 10 minutes. I easily set up a second PC and laptop wirelessly on the printer in minutes. The software took care of all the set ups. I did have some issues with an older Dell which caused a huge slow down on the system. But everything else works like a charm. ***** stars hands down.

When I first got married, I had a slide camera, it took half slides so on a roll of 35 mm film, I got twice the amount of pictures at half the size each. They have been in a box for many years. I didn't know how I would ever get them unless I went to a professional. This all in one allows me to retrieve my pictures. I started with my beautiful young wife at the NY Worlds Fair in 1964. Scans are great and prints are great too.

I was looking for a new photosmart printer. I looked at so many models and read all the reviews. It seemed that no matter which one I looked at, there were both positive and negative reviews.

I decided on the C 8180 for the features. I received the printer from Amazon which was considerably cheaper than Circuit City. The software installed smoothly. I tested the printer and it performed beautifully. I wonder about all those other negative reviews and what mistakes the people might have made to have a problem. All I know is that I have a truly all in one printer that does everything I ask it to do without a problem.

I just bought this printer and have it up and running quickly. I added it to a locked down wireless network (WPA2-Personal, non-SSID broadcasting, 802.11g/n, Apple AirPort Extreme). The tools and drivers are installed with no problem on a PC with Vista and a Mac OS 10.5.3. All that to say that my home environment is about as complicated as you might find, and I still installed it with surprising ease.

Printing functionality is great, scanning is great. I have piles of old "film" pictures that I would like to scan to digital form. While waiting for installations to complete, I tried that out. It is as painless as you could possibly find. It is easy to scan pictures right to your computer. In fact, it will even scan them right to iPhoto on my Mac! That is really cool!

From a PC, it can also simulate duplex printing by printing one side and then it prompts you, with pictures, to re-insert the document back into the printer in a particular way and it will take care of the rest. I haven't yet figured out how to do that from a Mac, so I just copied the files to the PC and away I go.
