Installing All-in-one


We received our printer yesterday, but didn't get it until today. UPS did a crappy job of delivering our package, let alone alerting us that we received a package. They put the package on our garage door entrance so that no one would see it and steal it. Kudos for that but still, some sort of notification would have been best.

Good thing the printer was wrapped so kindly by the folks at HP because pulling the printer from the box was a chore in itself. Here is a picture of the printer and the stuff it came with. It is a little larger than our old HP 932C, but a scanner and a printer in one makes up for the size. However, installing the printer was a whole other story.

I think that from a technology stand point this all-in-one was easy to install other than the software/drivers freezing during the install and the driver install wanted to print a picture with paper supplied that was not supplied. I am, however, more than happy with the print quality, and the scans offer a lot more than I was expecting. I will post more as I play with it but other than the few hiccups this was an easy install and a great buy.

good to see you back on the blog todd! Enjoy your new printer/scanner. Our printer is really old and doesnt do any cool things like print in color or scan, im thinking we need an upgrade!

I have never been a fan of all-in-one machines (and do not have one) but the HP printer/scanner/fax that Kevin has on his system seems to work ok for him.

I have used it as a copier and as a fax with no trouble.

Sorry you had issues with installation, but it seems that is par for the course these days! Glad you beat it into submission!
