On the plus side this printer can handle A3 paper, large ink reservoirs and has a duplex printing option.
On the negative side it very frequently jams when feeding from the optional second tray, is very slow when printing duplex and now the paper feed from the main tray has totally failed. In addition the drivers are poor and of the 3 supplied only one seems at all reliable; except under Vista where it repeatedly forgets the options fitted and your personal settings. Its worth noting that HP have never updated the drivers since release so I suppose even they have given up on this printer.
Avoid at all costs. If you spec it for your office it will cause you embarrassment for years as all your colleagues curse whilst removing a succession of jams.
