Yes, I would have loved to purchase a more advanced, particularly wireless, printer/scanner/copier, but pricewise this was not an option for me...maybe later. I am extremely pleased with the product output and speed, the quality of scans - images later produced from them were exceptional, and the ability to insert media cards into this HP PhotoSmart C4480 machine. PhotoSmart products are the way to go at the moment and based on numerous reviews in top PC magazines these often rank rather highly in comparison to other similar products. The little LCD preview/guide screen is...little, but satisfactory, particularly for the price. I definitely got a quality product for what I paid for and have not had the troubles of paper jams or negative issues mentioned in the other reviewers testimonials. As with all inkjets, the only negative is the cost of replacement cartridges. Based on personal experience with a previous, rather old HP inkjet printer (lasted 7 yrs!!! - impressive as it too was a cheaper model that performed extremely well for the first 6 yrs and when I had no choice to go with Windows Vista - ugh - due to an older computer literally dying on me - sad), I will NEVER use refilled or those cartridges from other vendors. HP inkjet cartridges are the best, but are way too expensive for what I am sure they really cost. Wish there was a way to encourage HP to decrease the cost of cartridges - if so, I am sure more people would purchase HP inkjet/laser jet products in abundance. Until then, we HP lovers have to suffer these costs...so buy the cartridges from Amazon and in the size with extra ink for savings. It is worth it.
Oh - I forgot to mention - this is an extremely lightweight multi-use printer, so even though I didn't go wireless, I am able to move it to wherever I am working in the house. And it was easy to set-up - directions were clear IMHO.
Very nice printer November 18, 2008

I read the reviews on different printers for quite a few months now and decided to break down and buy the HP Photosmart 4480. I was worried that the photo prints would not be good but I was wrong. The first picture I printed was like getting a professional print. I then found I could not get the same quality of prints there after. The pictures were "pixelly" and not good quality. I messed with the settings and came up with the perfect combination that I was getting professional quality prints again. I must have printed more than 20 photos and have not even used half the color ink and hardly any black ink. I bought extra ink in case the printer used a lot of ink during photo printing and it's still in the box and I am still a printing fool. I am totally happy with this printer and would say to anyone looking for a decent printer at a reasonable price, consider this one.

I just bought this, so if you are looking for long-term performance this isn't the review for you. But so far I like what I have seen.
There were problems with the previous model (4280?), including bad text printing performance, so I wanted to stay away from that model. I saw this one and couldn't find any reviews, so I went ahead and bought it, hoping it would be better. As far as I can tell, the text printing (along with photo and normal graphics) is certainly good enough. It is a bit slow, but for most people (myself included) who don't need to print reams of paper every hour, it isn't that big of a deal.
Scanning/copying is a little bit slow as well, but again not a big deal to me. It will just be nice to have a capable copier in the house.
I haven't used some of the functionality, such as the card reader, but printing, scanning and (PC-less) copying seem to work great.
Installation is easy (as long as you don't have Windows 2000 like the first dolt, er, person reviewing this printer), though it takes longer than I would have suspected, as it is loading up your computer with oodles of junk-ware that will most likely never be run. I'll most likely go back later and clean those things out the best I can. But that's what I get for being lazy and telling it to install everything.
Setup couldn't be more straightforward. I've never owned an all-in-one before, so I was a bit surprised that after it printed the print-head alignment page, instead of it asking me to look and see how lined up it was, it told me to put the page into the scanner, and it aligned itself. Brilliant.
This thing looks great, is remarkably compact and feels sturdy. Make sure you have a USB cable when you buy it, as it is not included.
