Amazon.com Product Description
The HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One Printer, Fax, Scanner, and Copier is a multi-function unit that can help increase the productivity of your business. Designed for high-volume home use, this system features leading printing innovations for versatility and productivity.


Intuitive controls make printing tasks a snap. View larger.
Print and copy with ease thanks to built-in wireless networking, USB flash drive, and the HP Photosmart Express software. Convenient and flexible, the C6180 also provides multiple ways to print without a computer using memory cards, camera phones, or PictBridge enabled cameras.

User-Friendly Operation and Professional Results
Ideal for high-volume printing, the C6180 is loaded with features that deliver professional quality results in minutes. First, this system comes equipped with an efficiently designed six-ink color system with Vivera Inks that produces rich and fade-resistant photos while allowing you to replace only the ink colors used, so you'll never waste an ink cartridge again.

To help save you time, the HP Photosmart Express button makes completing your digital photography experience fast and easy-- view, print, share and save your photos and documents in seconds.

The C6180 can handle most memory card formats, as well as PictBridge-capable devices.
At the same time, HP Photosmart Premier software allows you to edit, organize, print, share, archive and create digital photo projects so you can organize and maintain important images and data. To help troubleshoot and fix problems like red-eye, you can choose the option of editing photos directly on the machine. Or if you want to enhance the quality of your photos, experiment with adaptive lighting. You can do all this, plus make color and black and white copies, and photo reprints, without a computer!

Simply walk up and print or copy using the 2.4-inch QVGA color image display with control panel adjustments for optimal viewing from any angle. Finally, the C6180 also offers convenient memory card slots that are compatible with CompactFlash, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital, Media Stick, Memory Stick Duo and XD-Picture Cards.

Intuitive Design For Easy Use
The C6180 is not only chock full of special features and options, it helps save you time and money by working quickly to accommodate different jobs and paper types. First, the intuitive control panel and convenient one-touch buttons are easy to use, so you'll never struggle to program a job. And thanks to the automated 4 x 6-inch tray for dedicated photo printing, you can effortlessly print landscapes or other panoramic images with HP panorama photo printing in any size up to 8.5 x 24 inches, with or without borders. At the same time, you can make the most of your new prints by taking advantage of the HP Document Viewer to easily view, manage, and annotate photos and documents. When it comes to copying, the HP auto paper-type sensor optimizes print and copy quality by adjusting to various papers, which means you won't have to worry about wasted paper and poor-quality copies costing you money.

Fast, Reliable Printing, Coping, Faxing, and Scanning
the C6180 also features a copy options button that allows you to reduce and enlarge, changing copy quality and size so your documents fit your exact needs. The C6180 also works fast, offering print speeds of up to 32 pages per minute (ppm) and up to 31 ppm in color; 4 x 6 inch photos as fast as 12 seconds; and up to 32 copies-per-minute (cpm) in black and up to 31 cpm in color. You can also trust that your documents will always be sharp and clear, thanks to high resolutions of up to 4800 x 1200 dpi black copying, 1200 dpi scanning, and up to 4800 optimized dpi color copying.

The fax machine offers an automated, 50-page document feeder, so it efficiently handles even long faxes with speeds of up to seven ppm. It also gives you the option of faxing either with or without a PC. For added convenience, the junk fax barrier helps to eliminate future unwanted junk faxes.

1 out of 5 stars Looks great, if only it worked   September 30, 2008
I think it only fair to balance the comments of others. There is no doubt this could be a fabulous printer. In theory it does everything you could ask, it is compact, it is fast, it is cheap. But in fact it is more trouble than it is worth.

I agree that the software is flaky and difficult to install. I had one networked machine where it simply refused to identify the printer (I think it had something to do with that machine being on a segment of my network fed from a switch but I don't know why). In the end I had to physically move the computer to install and then it was okay. And every time it fails to install you have to go through a painfull clean up routune.

Eventually I got the knack and installed the drivers/applications on 3 machines - then the printer stopped working. The black ink would not work. From trawling the internet this seems a common problem. HP could not diagnose the fault. They claimed the printer was out of warranty but I eventually proved it was not, so they sent a new one. This lasted 2 months and then the same thing happened. So I am on my third printer and again the software install is playing up. I have had to role back my OS even as it completely stopped my laptop working. In the past I have even seen rogue processes running that take 100% of CPU. This is costing me a lot of time to solve. So unless you are very patient and very computer savvy, so are not freaked out by having to mess with the OS, don't take the risk with this printer.



1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this printer   August 5, 2008

This printer has never worked since the day I purchased it. It is impossible to connect via a wireless network and HP support is the worst.


2 out of 5 stars Good Printer - Disapearing Ink   August 1, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We bought this printer about a year ago. Its been working fine for us; although we don't use it a lot. There is one major problem I have with this printer: It eats ink like crazy. We have never printed a full color picture, nor do we print color documents often, but I have replaced a few of the color cartridges three times. It seems that I can print in only black and white pages but in 2 months the printer will tell me a color cartridge is low...

Another annoying problem I have is that when any one of the color ink cartridges are low I cant print out anything at all, not even black and white prints. I've owned dozens of printers in my life and this one feels like it holds me hostage the most.




1 out of 5 stars All Sizzle, No Steak   July 31, 2008

Great features, but HP ruins what could have been a great printer via horrible software and moronic "features" that are supposed to "protect your printer", such as:

Printing in color all the time, regardless of settings
The machine prevents you from using any other ink type other than HP
The machine will not allow you to print, fax, scan, copy if you just one single ink pot is close to empty.

This was actually confirmed:

Confirmed by a HP Representative, the HP 6180 Uses Yellow Ink to Print in "Black Only", regardless how you set up you printer. This means that even if you print in gray scale, it still uses all the colors to "enhance" the black.



4 out of 5 stars Super easy to hook up to Mac network   July 29, 2008
I've been looking for an all in one printer that I can easily hookup to my network and this is it. I have an IMac an Ibook and both hooked up easily.However, I had to use the newer installation software from the HP website instead of the discs that came with the printer. For some reason the software on the CD didn't work on my mac. The installation probably took 2 hours and now I am able to print and scan wirelessly from both computers. Because it works wirelessly I was able to store the printer in a closet to declutter my work area. The only thing I found that isn't perfect is the scanner. Seems a bit blurry if I scan larger than 100% even though it's set at 300dpi and above. Other than that, I LOVE this printer!
